mailing address
Can some explain to me why the sender is allow to dictate what mailing address to send the item I have just brought and paid for to ?
I use a po box for number of reasons, its safer and quicker than sending it to my home.
Plus when using paypal, it all goes through ebay. Ebay tells sender when to send it once payment has cleared.

·2 years agoFor various reasons discussed at length elsewhere on these boards, some sellers will not post to a PO Box address. If you really want an item from such a seller contact them first to see if they can help. And / or, if you are on good terms with your local post office you could arrange to use their physical location address for such a purchase.

·2 years agoIt isn’t up to the seller
eBay dictates sellers MUST post to the address given by the buyer
If you provide an address, that is the address the seller must use
sending a note or whatever saying send elsewhere doesn’t cut it
not only that, it is a common trick by scammers so they can falsely claim item not received if they cannot prove postage to the buyer’s registered address
It is on you to make sure the address you want is the address you have given before making payment
So don’t blame the sellers for your mistake
