Best way to get a new address
 

The best way to get a new address to use with ebay is probably UPS. The only problem is most people only have 1 or maybe 2 locations within a reasonable distance. What are some of the other good ways to get an address. What methods do you use?

thanks for the info!

you can use friends, relatives, or old addresses you've had. just make sure they have never been used for ebay or paypal before. I would only use a PO Box after you have established the account cause you have to pay for a PO Box.

so do you use relatives and friends to get all of your accounts? I dont think I would want to do that and I would think that would be a bit of a hassle. Or do you use random addresses that are in your area?

any information
 

THis is probably the most important aspect to creating a new account. I am surprised that there isent more talk about this. Using relatives doesnt sound very attractive.
Does anyone want to share there secrets...

Yerah I would like to know too, my main concern atleast.

I was recommended by another guide to get a Virtual office, not really sure what that is honestly.

Another member told me to add like a typo or something to my address.

This is what I read form another trusted site:

When they match the address they verify the number and the zip. So if your address is 123 East Rd, New York, NY 20098 all they match is the "123" and the "20098" or else it cames back AVS mismatch.

I use relatives (just a few) that are never going to use ebay, and they say its ok to use it. One I actually run auctions at their house and use all their info. The address doesn't matter unless they are going to verify docs. As long as you have ebay, paypal, gift card, etc. all set up under the exact same address your good. Also make sure to keep it in your area because of the IP.

I dont really want to use a PO box, but is there any other options to use except this? what if I was using dialup how are they going to connect that with my home?
