Note: My first attempt was last week through my VPN, which inadvertently makes me look like my IP connection is coming from another country. Today however, I made sure to turn off my VPN. And today is a separate purchase, unrelated to the first one last week.
Another note: My billing address is still in California, yet I've moved to another state. It shouldn't matter, but do you think ebay has a problem with this? Maybe they think it's weird why someone would choose not to update every account in their life with their current physical address. In this day and age, with people getting stalked and scammed, I can only think it's weird not to.
Maybe ebay thinks the shipping address, if it's different from the billing address, that the recipent's name should be different from the buyer's name (eg to show it's a gift)? I'm trying to read ebay's mind because they aren't telling us anything.
Maybe ebay won't sell a local pickup only item to me if my address is no where near the location (eg I'm in another state). But I've tried purchases to today for items with shipping options too, and they failed to go through.
Why ebay? Please tell me why you're doing this to me!!
