Seems like every time I get a PR address. They try to enter it all on one line. 40 characters max...leaving me to correct it. I can usually guess and move it around.
But this time? Not so sure.
Anybody know how to correct this to two lines?
Calle 4 b 8 urbanización reparto el cabo loiza P.R
I know the P.R. can go away.
Pretty sure the "loiza" can go away since that's also in the city box.
Don't know what the "reparto el cabo" is though.

Have you run it through USPS yet?

I think ultimately you'll need to ask the buyer for correct formatting.
The street (Calle 4 #B8) is kicking out errors when I try to verify it in every variation I can think of, and I'm not pulling it on Google, either.
Urb Reparto el Cabo is the urbanization code (address line 2)
Loiza is the city

@wastingtime101
Buyer Name
URB El Cabo
Calle 4-B8
Loiza, PR zipoo
That's how I did it. Maybe it'll get there.
I'd say good odds since it seem like EVERY PR address I get tends to be just a straight line where the buyer starts typing and doesn't stop until they run out of room. Then, on to the next line they go, to continue.
Leaving me to de-code the mess and fix it. LOL
Ya wanna say.... "Come on now! When it comes to shipping, you PR want to insist you're part of the U.S., And that obligates me to ship there.....But ya can't format an address??

the crazy part that is the ebay system accepts it, even though it's totally **bleep**
should see of some of the crazy china address's, occasionally those have to be dropped into google translate just to get a english address to get it out the door.

Don't forget that eBay permits an extra line for business names, plus two lines for a street address.
So --
Buyer's name
Calle 4 b
8 urbanizacion reparto
el Cabo Loisa
Puerto Rico ZIPXX
