Someone in UK bought my product.the shipping address includes a code to say paid. It is "GB xxx xxxx xx Code:Paid" .
What does this code mean? ( GB xxx xxxx xx Code:Paid )
Do I have to put the address along with the code as mentioned above when I ship?

the code is proof of duty paid or whatever its called

when I used ebay shipping it was right there on the label with the address

I woud make sure it on there somehow

I woud not want my customers to have to pay twice

If you're in MP, check your ebay account to verify payment. 

If you're not in MP but getting payments through Paypal, go to your paypal account to see if payment is there. 

If either shows a payment, ship to the "ship to" address EXACTLY as shown on either ebay or Paypal. Do not make changes.

Not sure what the code is for, but you address the package exactly as it shows on the order.

@ceylon-bazaar ,

Yes,  you definitely need to include that text with the code, exactly as it was given to you, on the shipping label.

eBay is required to collect the VAT (Value Added Tax) for all purchases being shipped to the UK, up to the price of £135 (not including shipping or VAT). The text is the notice to the Royal Mail or courier that the VAT has already been collected and paid. If you don't put that on the shipping label, then your buyer will be charged the VAT again and have to pay it twice, and since the VAT is 20% in the UK, that would make your buyer very unhappy with you.
