I tried to print usps postage through paypal and I get this error message -

Question

The "Ship To" address that you provided is not valid. Please verify that you are using an accurate address and click 'Continue'.

The buyer says that this address is correct. What should I do?

Answer 1

You would be surprised at how many people do not know what their mailing address is.

First, ask the buyer if they use a PO Box for mail delivery. Many towns only have PO Box delivery through USPS.

Second, check for extraneous punctuation. Tehre should be no puncuation used except a hyphen in the ZIP+4. Check for abbreviations. Do not use Drive, use Dr. In town names, it sometimes needs to be spelled out and other times it needs to be abbrevaited. If you are using something like Mt, try Mount, or if you have Fort, try Ft.

You can try entering the address in the ZIP Code finder at usps.com. Also be sure that the buyer has provided you with any apartment numbers or anything else that should be a part of the address.
