I sold an item to a customer that lives in Michigan, but spends his winters in Florida. His eBay address is for Michigan, but sent me a message through eBay to mail the item to his Florida address. I am trying to print a mailing label through eBay but I can't figure out how to change the address. Would appreciate some help.


I got myself a seniors' GPS.
Not only does it tell me how to get to my destination,
it tells me why I wanted to go there.

You might not be able to change the ebay address.
You could print a label directly from the USPS site and type the tracking # into the ebay order details form..
Gonna cost you a little more..

Or just tell the buyer "no can do"

He should have both addresses listed and when he pays he has the option of which address is used. It is up to the buyer not the seller to provide correct address prior to payment. Looks like you may have to go to post office and ship without the eBay label?

Thanks for the replies, I made a label through Pirate Shipping and recorded the tracking number though eBay.

Sounds like you found a way around the problem. I have edited the buyers address on ebay labels but it's been awhile so I couldn't tell you how off the top of my head. Seems like ebay's discounts have improved some. For awhile it wasn't much of a discount at all. One time I got a message that said I saved five cents by shipping with ebay.

Be careful there are a lot of scammers that are pretty sneaky and like to take advantage of guys like us! I would have contacted Ebay for the answer. To be covered under Ebay rules I think you are supposed to ship only to the address the buyer provides to Ebay. The buyer should have contacted Ebay and updated his address

Why get hung up over printing a shipping label. Write it out the fashioned way, go in and enter tracking number, DONE. I don’t waste money on tracking labels.

As long as the buyer messaged him through ebay to change the address then all is well and ebay will protect the seller. I had a buyer that paid for an item and then messagede and asked me to delay shipping it for 2 weeks as he wasnt home and didnt want the package stolen. So I did as he wanted and ebay dingedy account for not shipping on time. A call to ebay and told them it was at the buyers request through ebay messages, they checked the message and removed the ding.

Hopefully your post is in jest.

Going through eBay or in this case Pirate Shipping you get a discount on postage and when you print out the label you get the tracking number which is on the label. I am not wasting money, I am saving money.

Pirate Shipping issues a label which I can print, the tracking number is on the label.

Yes, I was talking to the guy that likes to write out his labels and type in the tracking number. I guess he must just be paying retail at the post office. He's walking over dollars to pick up nickels.
