How can I determine the location of a bidder before sending a second chance offer?

[origon]

Is there a way to find the zip code of a losing bidder in order to determine the cost of shipping, before sending them a second chance offer?

No and you don't need to know before sending the SCO.  For what purpose do you think you need to know for?

If you have calculated shipping, it will recalculate for the buyer's ship to location.  If it is because you offer Free Shipping, that is the risk you took when you chose to use that option.  You should have increased your price of the product for wherever you'd have to ship it.  You always go for the higher number.

When you bring up the Bid History page to choose which bidder(s) will receive your SCO, their ZIP codes will be shown next to their user IDs. (Don't send more SCOs than you have of examples to sell. Take them one at a time.)

Note that this is kind of academic because you cannot change the terms of your SCO,  so your Shipping terms and charges will remain as-is.

Nor is the buyer required to ship to that address.  Buyers can set their ship to address as they are paying.  They may need to send it to a kid away at college, a friend across the country, or any number of reasons to change the ship to address.
