Can I add a US address to my ebay account (I'm in the UK but have family I could ship things to)?

I'm looking to buy an item for which the seller hasn't given an international shipping option, and they aren't on the GSP. I have family over there (actually in the same state as this item) which I could get it shipped to. Is there any issue with me adding their address to my ebay account? 

So it appears that adding a US address to my ebay account wouldn't matter, and it's not possible to add a foreign address to a paypal account, is the solution for me to bid and then get the seller to paypal invoice me for whatever the shipping cost will be to my family in the US?

" I have family over there"

Ask them to buy and ship it to you.

I'm not going to ask them to bid because it's a bidding listing, not just a straight purchase.
