This seems pretty easy to mitigate If the merchant enforces a rule like if this is your first N orders, require the shipping and billing to match, or more loose

This seems pretty easy to mitigate If the merchant enforces a rule like if this is your first N orders, require the shipping and billing to match, or more loosely, an alternative address you've registered with your CC
Nowadays it is very easy to register an alternative address with your CC that the merchant can verify so besides that bit of friction I don't see the merchant losing much business.
- michaelt 11y agoMy bank doesn't support alternative addresses, so merchants who enforce that policy have lost my business for the past 12 years - firstly because I've been moving about annually, so I've kept my cards registered at my family's home; and secondly because I want parcels sent to my workplace, where there will be someone to receive them, not to the place I'm living. Given that Amazon and Ebay accept my card, if another retailer rejects it they'd need a pretty compelling offer for me to take a day off work to receive their delivery.
