More information is always better, but I think you can list them NWT with just the store tags.

Ok thanks. Bought them from an outlet store, so I will just make clear what kind of tag is attached.

How do I buy postage for eBay when the address is claimed invalid due to too long of an address?

Holy ****. I thought some UK addresses were unnecessarily long, but that one beats them all. I've had luck shortening / using abbreviations when able but can't see how to shorten any of that thru ebay labels. In this case I'd take it to usps then add the tracking number later.

Holy hell, that is probably the longest address I've ever seen. Good luck with that! I've had my fair share of problems trying to shorten addresses to what is required.

I would start by contacting the buyer, and letting him know you are having trouble shipping the item because the address is too long. Ask him if he's had trouble with this on previous purchases, but also inform him you are in contact with the postal service and eBay to try and find a solution as well.

Doesn't changing the address void seller protection?

Baffling why eBay allows a buyer to input an address that clearly won't be accepted when you're printing a label.

Anyone even ship an item to a Hotel lol?

I have a buyer who address reads

Guest: John Smith
2800 American Blvd W
Embassy Suites
Bloomington, Mn 55431
United States


LOL. My duty is to ship within my stated time, and not my responsibility to have the item arrive prior to the guest leaving lol. Lets hope for the best

Shortening it doesn't void it. Making like ROAD Rd and SUITE Ste and TOWER BUILDING twr bldg is fine.

But if its going to Manchester England and you ship it to Plano TX, thats a problem.

Side note - has anyone had a spate of buyers who have different addresses registered write you and tell you that they can't choose another address when paying? Like, if someones address is in the UK and has a registered address in the US, before (the last seller update) they could use the "request total from seller" button and I could re-invoice with domestic shipping costs. Since the update, everyone tells me that I "don't offer combined shipping" and can't ask for a new invoice.

Anyone?

Yeah I ended up doing that as well as removing some of the parenthesis information, but it still won't give me a price and won't let me buy postage. Maybe it has to do with it going to the UAE. I'll probably just buy postage tomorrow at the package drop-off.
