Why ebay does not validate shipping address when buyer places order?

[p9games]

Seems every website can validate a buyers shipping address.  Every website other than EBAY.  I would love to be able to push a button and print labels for the days orders.  Instead I have to laboriously check half of them because people do not know how to enter an address.

And even worse, I am now getting 90% + of my orders showing invalid addresses despite being VALID.  

Thanks EBAY for the 20 year outdated system AND 90%+ false positives.

I have never used shipping lables so I can't tell you from experience

But as people here are all simply buyers and sellers exactly like you, you would need to contact eBay for an eBay answer

There is a glitch with the eBay postage labels. The warning about incorrect address has been reported, they are aware of it and supposedly will be fixed soon.

And how long is a piece of string??

Many things have been reported, promises have been made and people are still waiting!

It may happen but I'm not holding my breath.

It never ceases to amaze me how many people do not know how to write their correct address.

And yet, when you look at their fb, they've received parcels before, with no problems!

We come across it a bit, but it’s usually pretty easily sorted. But, it does make you wonder. You’d think people would be concerned enough about receiving their order that they double check their address.

Although, if not delivered, money back anyway isn’t it? What incentive!

i know right..  seriously.  I had an address in postcode 4158 and they said the city was Brisbane.  

every other website uses an auto complete kind of system that has the addresses and doesnt permit invalid addresses.  If EBAY did this it would be great.

Well, it is in Brisbane.

It's a suburb of Brisbane
