PayPal UK to Australia Address

I want to make a purchase privately from someone in uk.
I have both uk and australia paypal accounts but i want to use my uk paypal as its same currency.
But as my uk paypal probably has the uk address how do i get it delivered overseas?
Ok easy option would be to use my paypal here in australia and pay with that but i need my funds here for other things at present.
I believe i can send funds to myself from my uk paypal to australia paypal but dont i lose money by doing this by getting the exchange rate paypal gives?
Whats best or options i have on doing this prefer to pay with uk paypal but have items sent to australia.
Thanks.

    change your shipping address in your UK paypal account.
    You can have multiple addresses.
    You can also have your paypal accounts UK/AUS/US as the same if you used the same email when you registered.
    You can also communicate privately with the seller and add notes to your order..

    • I thought you can only use a uk address with a uk paypal i believe this is a common problem worldwide you can only have the address within that country.
      As im looking to use and pay with my uk paypali want it sent to australia so if i cant add my australian address then its not possible.
      But you did make a point that as its a private sale and i could ask seller to send overseas in notes or private but I take if things went bad or went wrong i not get my money back?

      • I've got a UK paypal address.
        And I have had stuff sent to australia.
        Yes you need a primary address set to the UK.
        You can have secondary addresses.

        EDIT.
        Looks like they may have changed this at some point in time?
        I can't seem to access my UK bank card since it expired and I didn't update the card.

        • Yes believe it happened a few years back it only allows you to enter a uk address.
          My other option would be to sent myself a payment from my uk account to here.
          But then im not sure of costs involved in this and prefer if i can reduce as much as possible.
