Simply an update for those interested....the eBay delivering name page actually won't process for me following 2 days, gives a similar blunder message, so nothing was fixed by eBay.

But....the mail center (was really the AustPost LPO counter at my nearby newsagent) acknowledged the snap and gather address no issues so you have a choice of paying for postage at AustPost for snap and gather addressed items....not bound to eBay transporting names. Somewhat more 'manual-matic' which is OK for the odd thing to post.

Likewise the post expense was a similar cost as eBay and I got a following number which I entered physically for the purchaser.
