I was thinking the same thing.
"Billing and Shipping Addresses: Billing records are kept at the payment processor, and shipping is likely kept in a waybill somewhere - both accessible by your application when needed. You don't need this in your database."
I don't need to maintain the user's maintenance of it in my database, but the data that goes onto the waybill needs to be stored somewhere during the ordering process (and most likely needs to be stored for future shipment records processing/reporting), so you actually have not gained much security.
