Ebay Shipping Issue

Yet another ebay shipping issue.

The person paid via paypal with a paypal confirmed address. However, when I try to use Paypal to print a shipping label, it comes up as an error. The address doesn't seem to be valid. I go to USPS.com and I have the same problem. I mapquested the address, and it is there.

Has anyone ran into this before?
 
Yep, I've run into that, with a confirmed address too. How fucking stupid is it that PayPal let's people put in an address (and confirms it!) that their own shipping system kicks out as invalid?

With mine there was an obvious change that needed to be made but I can't remember what it was. Actually I think I put it in the USPS Shipping Assistant and it corrected it for me, so I was a little better off than you. When I changed it that meant I was no longer shipping to a confirmed address, however :roll:

My advice is to e-mail PayPal as to how a confirmed adddress in their system is actually invalid to print a shipping label against and to please advise you on where to ship that purchase. And to e-mail the buyer to please send you a valid address. Does the USPS or PP give you a reason it's invalid? (e.g. bad zip/city combo, etc.) If so certainly include that in your e-mail to the buyer. If not you could try calling the USPS and see if they can tell you what might be wrong with the address. Don't know if you want to go to that trouble or not, though.

Or you could just go to the post office and then you can hand write their address as it is confirmed in PayPal. But that's such a pita.

Thanks for the response,

It just says that you have entered an invalid shipping address. I guess I'm going to hand write the address and go to the post office. Whats funny is when I put the address in the Shipping Assistant, and it validates the address! However, when I try to print out a label, it states there is an error. Very strange.

By the way, your online shipping guide is very helpful. Thanks for putting it together.

Thanks :)

You could e-mail PayPal about it as well if you want. I'd be really curious to see how they respond to that one.
