As part of my Item Description, I give my store's location for mailing a check for payment. That doesn't seem to be permitted. I see this notice: "Details about payment, shipping, or returns should be included in the structured data fields available for Business Policies."
Is there a structured data field specifically for addresses? Or does it belong in the field, "Additional checkout instructions"? Not really sure how to comply with this.
Thanks!

Thank you, everyone. I know what to do now.
Under My eBay > Account tab, there is a Business Policies link where we enter standard information that applies across our product pages. On the product pages are drop-down boxes where we'll select those policies. I started doing that. I also removed the accepting checks stuff.
I am now going through the items one by one to change the drop-downs to my new default settings. I notice on this particular page, though, only one setting option appears instead of all of them, so I can't select my default setting for that item. Hmmmm.
Thank you, everyone.

Can you even accept a check by mail under eBay's new "no contact before the sale" policy?
I think you would have to remove those from your listing and only supply it AFTER they have committed to purchase.

I guess ebay's bots aren't as smart as they think they are.
Phone #, accepts checks and money orders right in the listing - even ones just listed.
Now, I don't blame the OP - if I thought I could get away with 'Money orders and checks preferred' in my listings, I would. But I usually had Please email/mail any questions to and my name/address in the shipping section. Now I just include it on the invoice sent.
Not everyone who buys antiques wants or has a PP account.

Oh, now the drop-down works and is showing all the options on the problem page. Great!
