How to choose an address ?

chango · #1 10-08-2016

I know its probably covered somewhere in a thread, I did google it but I didn't find a good answer. What are the alternatives or standard procedures for addresses for ebay etc ? I'm just confused on picking a random address, should it be real or not , should be near or anywhere in the area? I understand the IP thing with VPN, but I use a dongle or phone tethering. I know now about sticking a returns label of an actual address on expensive things so u get them back, or even offering to send out a a prepaid box/package etc. Its more about picking an address so the account don't get burned immediately.

You need a real address, ideally something you have access to

Mailboxes are another good option

Hi JamesNorth , as always a great reply ,my only problem with mailboxes is they are all the same address + say Suite 201 or Box 256 I thought that may flag on the link software they use ?
I have access to a massive office suite, there's over 400 businesses registered there ( although no way near 400 offices), I have an actual office I've already used that address successfully 6 times over the last 18 months by just incrementing Unit + Suite + floor + anyone of the 3 streets it has. Because I rent the Unit all the mail for any of the above comes to me. I had thought of setting up mailboxes for hire myself .. I even have 2 empty containers on my own land form a legacy project that was shelved.
The cheapest mailbox I have seen in my area is £25 pcm which I think is outrageous personally.

You can get mailboxes from more than 1 company

£20pcm is about right for a mailbox. If you think you will get more than £20 worth of returns a month then its well worth doing

Or I set my own mailbox + parcel service up ? I have the space ad the staff .. it may be a plan.. I would do .. £25 set up and £10 a month no minimum contract.

Ive been using the same return address as my original banned account for years, never been a problem. Havent lost an eBay account yet. Just modify it slightly, like 'Unit 2, 15 Barker Street' etc
