Shipping From Address showing as the return address on UPS labels

My local post office that I drop my packages off at, is a different town (zip code) than my shipping address, so I use the Post Office address as my Ship From address, so the post office gets credit for the processing and not the bigger city that is my zip code.  I do use my home address as my Return Address.  So when I print my labels for the Post Office (and Fedex) , it shows my home address on the labels, but when I print a UPS label it shows my local post office as the return address on the labels.  This must be some glitch.  I do not want any lost packages or returns to go to the post office.    Ebay fix this please.   It is so annoying to have to constantly edit the Ship From address every time I want to print a UPS label.

Sounds like a glitch or oversight to me too.  Just another reason not to use ebay UPS.  Do yourself a favor and get a free PirateShip account for UPS.  The rates are equal or better than ebay, orders can import from ebay and tracking uploaded for you.  Plus you won't have this return/from address problem and no hassle dealing with UPS claims.

I do have Pirate ship for all my personal shipping.  I didnt think about doing this for UPS from eBay.  I've done comparisons in the past with eBay and Pirate Ship, and prices have been the same, so I just found it easier to stay on eBay.  I will check it out again.

With PS you will also have additional options for both USPS and UPS which can be cheaper than ebay. 

 

You can create a from/return address list you can select from a drop down menu, which is also handy if you do any drop shipping. 

 

The big plus is PS is they are easy to deal with when a problem arises and their UPS quoting system is more accurate and reliable without later surprise surcharges.
