PayPal accounts are not always synced with purchases with buyers names, contact information and/or addresses. For this reason we only use the information provided at purchase. The information that is entered on the purchase page as far as shipping, email, and any purchase notes will show up on the invoice as well as the back end of our eCommerce. Please be aware that invoicing, eCommerce confirmations, and shipping will only be sent to the email address provided at check out through our website, not the contact information that can be stored in some PayPal accounts.

For On Demand purchases the email provided through PayPal will be the one contacted until you submit your registration form. Please see the FAQ "I just bought my On Demand course, how do I submit a shipping address?" for more information.
