Shipping labels
                 

When I printed out my last shipping label for an order, the eBay site showed me one name and address but then as it printed, the name and address was completely different. Is this normal?

 

Does eBay do something like show sellers fake names to help with privacy or something?

 

I’m still new to this and getting the hang of it, anything would help!

Hi @lor8090 

 

Some members share their account, I've seen orders come through with one name and then when I go to print the label a new name is displayed on the label flow.

Thank you for the fast reply! Is it normal for the address to change as well?

The Buyer can change the address when they place their order but that is the address you ship to.
