Hi Guys.. Has anyone noticed unusual addresses on their recent sales order details. My last 2 orders have unusual addresses. They have the;
Buyers name,
"ebay 547fgh" or something similar then
101 Blah Blah Street
Somewhere Heights
etc
So in between the buyers name & their street address there is "ebay then numbers" that dont seem to mean anything... It looks a little bit like a click & collect type of address but a lot shorter
Does anyone else know whether I should put the 2nd line with "ebay123766" into the address . I asked the 1st customer about it but they havent replied?
Thanks in advance everyone - for any advice!.
Solved! Go to Solution.

I was informed by eBay ' Customer Service' this was a validation code between eBay and Australia Post for eBay label printing.
However, if you use MyPost portal and import your eBay orders, MyPost throws up an error with their code in Address line 1, as this field must contain a valid physical address. So you have to remove that code as it is immaterial to MyPost, and change the fields around by re-typing Address line 1 or cut/paste - delete.
Time wasting and they have been TOLD ! Pain in the **bleep**....

In October, we will be adding a unique code to address line one for all eBay orders. The code will be a combination of the word ‘ebay’ plus seven case-insensitive alphanumeric characters (e.g. ‘ebay: 97sT3JJ’). This code will appear on your postage label as below, but won’t impact the delivery of your eBay orders.
Do not remove or interfere with this code, to ensure the validity of tracking information associated with the delivery. If you are using an external label printing portal, be sure to add the code to address line one of the label.

The validation code is between eBay label platform and Australia Post, it's confirmation so eBay can get their commission on your postage. If you export your orders to MyPost the code is irrelevant as you pay your postage to Australia Post direct.

Thanks for posting, I was worried ebay’s system was having an error that somehow showed the buyers password. So I guess I don’t need to put it on letters then.
