finding an ebay seller postal address?

Hi all,

Is it possible to get a postal address of an Ebay seller you have bought an item from?

Thanks!

Doesn't eBay automatically send you a "you've won this item from xxxx", followed by address?

Else I know you can request it from eBay direct via their helpdesk, but this also sends your contact details to the seller.

Go to the help pages and type inthe search box!

quickest way would be to click "pay now" address should come up ?

Try here

I've not personally not tried it but it does say it sends your info to the other party.

cheers guys request seller info via advanced search. Doesn't give you a postal address though

It should do if they've told eBay their address.
Report 'em for not sharing their details

eBay take a dim view

Can you chooose to pay by cheque? That will give you an address to send the cheque to.

I didnt think you would get the sellers address, normally the seller only gets the buyers address i think.

Why do you need the sellers address?

My thoughts exactly

Do I sense some 'activity' coming on

When I phoned ebay to ask for a seller's address that I had a 'problem' with, they refused, quoting the Data Protection Act.
I pointed out that as the seller had mine what was the problem with me having his? If I had bought via mail order anywhere else I would have a contact addres.
They were not interested.

Nothing sinister . I'm just trying to confirm if a seller is the person I think he is, but has changed his ID..
