eBay

eBay has changed the USPS screens and I no longer can change the Post Office zip I am shipping from. The mail delivery is from one post office, but I want to ship from the nearest post office, which has a different zip code.

The local Post Office gets credit for packages shipped but only from those where postage is purchased at the PO or the label indicates the PO's zip.

Why is this such a problem for eBay to continue the practice I have used for years and PayPal still uses.

Get those Algorithms fixed, back to what we used to have.

Yes, I double checked the link before I posted it. It took me to the label purchase page. I didn't notice whether PayPal changed it; I sure didn't.

So odd I tried that link you posted we always used and it never works for me anymore it just takes me to my Summary page
I have to use the above link I posted.
Wonder why it works for some & not others

Yes, exactly. I typically find a post office right on our route, preferably in a small town (never any lines -- I live in the sticks and am used to no PO lines), look up the zip code, and use it for the "Ship from" to make sure that the postage (most of my items are free shipping so it only affects me and not the buyer) is calculated correctly and there aren't any negative surprises when the buyer receives it. In the past, where "Ship from" required only a zip code, it was easy. If it requires a full address, I'd have to fudge something, I suppose?

A full address is not required at this point. Just last night I added another Post Office Zip to my stored choices using "general delivery".

As nobodys noted............ when I googled to confirm the Zip, the street address of the Post Office building was displayed. I went with GD just to see if I could.
