PO BOX - question re Paypal

[esseco46]

Hi all,

I am about to post off a parcel to Qld which my husband sold under his own ID and the only address I have is a Post Office Box. We checked the winner's details and they only have a PO Box. 

I was under the impression that it had to be a street address for parcels to be delivered and if not that Paypal does not cover any losses.

Could someone please confirm for me before I send.

Many thanks,

Di

You are probably thinking of the US seller protection which certainly used to and may still exclude delivery to PO boxes.

That is because they have a completely different system over there, no identity check or home/billing address is required to get one and many of them are notoriously unsafe.

Yes, as PJ says, it is differnt in Australia.

Here you have to provide 100 points of identity and a residential address so a AU PO box is very safe.

You also don't have any issues with possible theft from someones door step 🙂

Thanks for the PO box requirements phorum junkie and the kazbar, I'm glad that Aust Post have some rules to be happy about.

I have posted it off and hopefully it will arrive safely.

Happy Christmas.
