Any Way to Change ZIP Code with New Label Page.

[rebell45]

Is there any way to change the ship from ZIP Code on the new eBay shipping label page? Use to be able to change my Zip code right there, now they want me to go to my account and edit my ship from address. Only problem is that it won't let me just change the ZIP code because it doesn't match my address.

Situation is that there is a small Post Office near me that is just a satellite office with it's own ZIP Code. No other address in town uses that ZIP.  They keep telling me to use their ZIP code so that they get credit for the package.

This took me a while to figure out but I finally got it.  I drop off at the post office in the town I work in and they want it to match them so they get the credit.

When printing your label, on the right edit your ship to and return address.  You will need to edit this and make a new ship from address that has the post office address where you always go (keep your name but put the physical street and zip where you drop off).   Then when you go to print you need to select this every time and hit ship to and return is different. It will be a drop down menu now that you created it.

I know it sounds funny, but after putting the new address, your label will print with your own address but you will see the ship from zip code says where you wanted it to start from.

Hope this helps, my drop off post office is very pleased with me now.

Thanks!  I would have taken me forever to figure this one out.

While it's good (and preferable) to show the correct Ship From ZIP for the PO you will be using, the purpose of it is to show the origin from which the prepaid postage was calculated; it has nothing to do with getting "credit" for the package. They get their credit by scanning each package that they take in, which shows that they were the ones who handled it. It has nothing to do with the little Ship From value printed on the label.

The prepaid postage will generally be the same for any ZIP sharing the same first three digits.
