UK eBay & PayPal using PO Boxes.

[meVebay]

Anyone got any experience using a PO Box with eBay/PayPal.

An account (Stealth) has an address which I won't have access too for much longer, and for the occasional purchase of business supplies and returns, I need a way to get them back.

I'd (Ideally) like the PO Box to show up as the business details too.

Has anyone had any problems with eBay or PP using a PO Box?

Only problem is the price of PO Boxes, £90 for half a year

Not a problem here.

It's a VERY SMALL cost of doing business.

No different to business rates, rent, electricity bills etc.

In the grand scheme of things, £170 a year is cheap.

pobox is great for business acc, seen them cheaper than that, but watch hidden costs of receiving and forwarding charges plus the postage, you get hit twice

I'm talking official Royal Mail PO Box. Not a private company.

The overall consensus is that you get no problems from eBay or PP then!

Private is the only way

With royal mail you registered details are publicly available so unless ligit your screwed

Read there PDF's on the website very closely.

I had a Royalmail PO Box, not very reliable, costs are cheaper than other private company PO Boxes.

I Had Loads of missing parcels, probably because of so many staff in sorting office, anybody can take it. I now use a Private company PO Box, yes its more expensive, but no missing parcels.
