eBay

Sold an item, looks like the item is going to a freight forwarder. That is no big deal but the problem is that the address in ebay is for Doral Fl 33192 and the address in PP is for Miami, Fl 33172. The rest of the address is the same.

When I looked them both up on google maps it show the same place. ?? How since different zip codes?

Do I print the label through PP which I have never done (I always print through ebay). Would I be covered through ebay if I print through PP?

OOPs, just noticed google maps changed the zip code to 33172 not 33192.

My question is, can I just change the zip code in ebay to the correct 33172 and ship through ebay?

It is indeed the same location; this question comes up frequently. Just ship to the address as you received it with the PayPal payment. Also, log into your PayPal account and verify that the payment is complete and that PayPal has "OK to ship" on it. A Pending payment means that you wait.

grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! I purchased and printed through Paypal since that is the correct address and low and behold the address wrong address printed even though pp gave the 33172 the label printed 33192 geez.

Since I printed through pp I should be okay but why would it show one address and print another????

USPS will occasionally assign a specific ZIP Code to a very busy location within some other ZIP Code. For instance, the Empire State Building in NYC has its own. So perhaps that's what happened here, with 92 being the building-specific one. Doral is a section of Miami, so that's not an issue.

Thanks! I am going to put it in the mail. It just blew my mind when PP had one address and it printed out a different one.

Behind the scenes, when you print the label, its address is validated through the USPS database and minor corrections are made as needed. You may also notice some changes in abbreviations or capitalization at the same time. Just ship and it'll get there.
