I sell an item to a buyer and he pays quickly, one issue his address. His mailing address was

John Smith (not his real name)

SmithJohn@email

Albania

So I message him asking asking for a mailing address. No reply. After a couple of days I cancel the transaction for address issues. Today I get a Neg from him stating that his address was correct and I never shipped. He is correct I did not ship as it would not have been delivered. Called C-S and the rep started laughing and took down the Neg.  It takes all kinds.

I once had a buyer from India whose address was so long and messed up I never could get it straight to print (his address included the phrase "across from the tennis courts"). It literally had too many characters. It was the same in Paypal. The buyer of course insisted that they used it on eBay all the time and never had a problem.

I had to cancel as well, I think that was our last neutral.

Have you been to India? That address probably would've gotten the item to him/her as well as any other one.

This is true.  When I sold velvet cloth back in the day I corresponded back and forth with sellers in India and Pakistan - one address included "by the mailbox".  I had to break up the address to get it all to fit, including the mailbox designation, but the times I shipped anything to them it always got there, and in reasonable time.

In parts of the Welsh and English countryside one doesn't always have a number address - just the name of the house and the road, county and postcode.

ETA: @plymouthsales4165  - your neg, however, is ridiculous.  Yeah, international mail services really DO ship to email addresses.  Everybody knows that 🙄 lol.
