Bug with ebay: cannot enter valid zip code

[tyldak]

When creating a shipping address in ebay, it does not allow you to enter the zip code 29307.  ebay says this isn't a valid zip code but it is.  This is creating problems for being able to get items shipped to the correct location.

29307 is one ZIP code for Spartanburg, SC. Could the street address possibly belong to 29306 instead? Have you tried entering the full address and leaving the ZIP code blank? The address will be verified against the USPS database at label purchase time anyway.

You might try entering it on the USPS ZIP Code validation page at https://tools.usps.com/zip-code-lookup.htm?byaddress 

Click the blue Find button at the bottom of the screen and carefully review the answer that comes back.

When I use the site you linked, it tells me that 29307 is the correct zip for the street address.  But ebay will not allow you to enter that zip when creating/changing your shipping address.

Ugh. I seem to recall this happening in the past, when the USPS assigned new ZIP codes but eBay for some odd reason didn't recognize them; i.e. they appeared to reject the ZIP outright, instead of letting it go through the usual validation routine at label purchase time.

Can you try, just this once, shipping via https://www.paypal.com/shipnow or some other postage provider, then uploading the tracking number to eBay?

Thanks.   I don't have anything in to ship right now.  Where would I upload a tracking number in to ebay?
