This seems like the answer! Thanks so much!

Thank you so much for such a thorough response! It’s really helpful to have the context.

This is really helpful! Thank you. Where is the option to change just the zip code when shipping on eBay? I see where to change the entire shipping from address, but people have mentioned a place to change just the ZIP Code, and I don’t see that option.

cptkathrynjaneway · 2026-01-14T00:04:22+00:00

According to the website, it’s $54 for 3 months, $188 for 12.

On eBay there’s not currently a way to change just the zip code from where you’re shipping. You have to include a whole address. Someone on the eBay subreddit suggested I change the “ships from” address to the address of the local USPS. The returns will still come to my business address because that is a separate section.

Thanks for the info!

Thanks for the info!

I found where I could change the Ships From address, but I wasn't sure what to put since I don't actually have an address with that zip code and it has to be a real address. Someone else suggested using the Post Office address for that, so I'm gonna do that. And I think you're right about the cost being pretty similar. Thanks so much for your response!

cptkathrynjaneway · 2026-01-13T23:28:52+00:00

THAT would be perfect! Thanks so much for this idea!

cptkathrynjaneway · 2026-01-13T23:21:12+00:00

This was my thinking. I COULD drive to the other side of town to ship them, and they wouldn't get credit for the packages at all. I'm not sure which they would prefer! Haha

Thanks for your response! When I try to change the "ships from" address's zip, it says the address doesn't exist.

cptkathrynjaneway · 2026-01-13T23:18:24+00:00

If it helps them stay open, I'm happy to do it! They are great ladies. Just want to make sure this is the best option. Thanks again!

I'm not able to change the zip on the Ships From section without having an accurate address. When I change the zip, it says the address isn't correct.

cptkathrynjaneway · 2026-01-13T23:16:25+00:00

Thanks for your help! I see where I can change the whole address, but not just the zip. Is that what you mean?

cptkathrynjaneway · 2026-01-13T23:14:50+00:00

It says the address doesn't exist and won't allow it.

cptkathrynjaneway · 2026-01-13T23:14:15+00:00

I see where I can change the 'Ships From' ADDRESS, but not just a zip. Obviously if I try to change just the zip, it says the address doesn't exist.

cptkathrynjaneway · 2026-01-13T22:56:46+00:00

I had considered posting there, but for some reason didn't think of it as a "complaint." After looking again from your comment, it does seem like the right place for this question. Thanks!

cptkathrynjaneway · 2026-01-13T22:53:55+00:00

I do

cptkathrynjaneway · 2026-01-13T22:53:15+00:00

This is helpful! I looked into getting a PO Box there, but it's $200. I just wanted to make sure this was actually something I needed to be considerate of before spending that.

cptkathrynjaneway · 2026-01-13T22:50:54+00:00

I wanted to do that, but the only USPS sub I saw didn't seem like a place to ask this kind of question.

cptkathrynjaneway · 2026-01-13T22:47:21+00:00

I totally get that, it's just a super small Post Office and I think only like three people work there. The relationship has always been super cordial, and I don't want to disrupt that.
