Is that even if you set the no_shipping to 1, you won't get the desired result unless you also remove the address_override=1 from the existing paypal standard plugin. Do you know if this will negatively effect anything else?
Have you found an answer yet?
I'm not entirely sure that there are no negative effects, but my live store has been running it for about a week without any bugs coming up. It is working exactly like I had hoped.
After some investigation I found the following information:
"This is a limitation of PayPal and cannot be fixed. We're only able to send a single address to PayPal. For normal PayPal payments (as opposed to credit card payments) this address has to be the shipping address, as PayPal already has the billing address. There is no way for us to know ahead of time whether or not the customer has a PayPal account, so we can't send the billing address when it would be appropriate, such as when the customer is not paying with their PayPal account, but a credit card instead."
Thank you for your investigation. It looks like the resolution on the first page is our only option, but we have been using it for a bit and it seems to be perfectly fine.
Sorry, what was the resolution you are referring to?
Cause i have customers telling me that they cancel the PayPal payment when they see the wrong address displayed on their PayPal page.

One additional thing to note, which took me an hour or two to figure out, is that even if you set the no_shipping to 1, you won't get the desired result unless you also remove the address_override=1 from the existing paypal standard plugin. Do you know if this will negatively effect anything else? I get the desired result this way (billing address is prepopulated, and the next screen shows no shipping address).
If this is being considered a bug to be fixed, just make sure to set the first flag to 1, and also remove the address override.
Thanks for the help.
This is the solution that I used. It makes it so that the shipping address does not show on the paypal side, only the billing address. If you are wanting a solution that shows both addresses on the paypal side correct, you are out of luck. The PayPal API doesn't allow for this unfortunately.

OK, I'm not a programmer and the thought of editing plugin sounds like something that is above my pay grade ... is this something simple that can be done in a text editor? Or does it require some programming tools and compilers?
I really need this fixed ASAP as I am loosing sales. My customers get sent to PayPal and get the address error and then I never hear from them again.
Will this plugin be updated someday with address address override settings that are editable in the admin area?
4 of my customers are experiencing the same issue.
I fill the shippinga and billing on site and i get asked for the address again on paypal site, when the payment is complete the shipping address becomes the billing address. How can i fix this ???
Any step by step solution ?
Where can i change these override settings ?
Thanks, Varun
