Anyone familiar with Paypal?

I am a buyer, and I am paying to a merchant with Paypal. I'd like to know, if the merchant side will
only be able to look at my ONE shipping address and ONE billing address I assign for this time?
will they be able to know my other addresses provided to Paypal?

I have some other addresses that I added to Paypal but have hard time deleting them, looks like those addresses still appear in the option during checkout even after I have deleted them from the address list , which makes me feel quite uncomfortable.

They will only see the address you designate and nothing else.

Hi, designate for that one transaction and all other stored addresses on Paypal won't be revealed to them, right?

 

[ThatVietGuy]

Yes.

Okay, I bought a Puppy and paid the Breeder through her PayPal account. That went well. Sometime later, I get a Phone call one Morning from Sears asking me about the $500 HDTV I bought. I had purchased online from Sears in the past and apparently, the shipping address which had to be different caught their attention and they called me. Told them I hadn't purchased a TV. They said fine and cancelled it. They offered to send me the Invoice, should have gotten it. Anyway, I just called Chase and informed them and they close the account and reissued another card. In short, PayPal seems to be prone to hacking.
