Sometimes it says the address on their profile but only if they have put it there top be seen, otherwise I don't think Ebay would give you it tbh. I would be mad if Ebay gave my address out! Tiger xx

All business sellers must display a contact name and address within one click from any item, but if you need the details of a private seller, use this link - http://shop.ebay.co.uk/ebayadvsearch/_W0QQ_sofindtypeZ9

You will be emailed their address details and phone number, but the seller will also get a copy of the email.

The acceptance forms you signed when you started with ebay allow them to pass on your details, including phone number to anyone that you are in a transaction with, you cannot opt out of this.

Go thru the help section and type in "request seller info".

What happens if a seller puts in a address that doesn't exist, or one where they don't live there anymore?

Usually they go on to not ship the goods, and paypal refunds the buyer.

Don't think you can get the address of a seller just cos you want it. You need to have won an item from them.
Ebay ask for the item number of the transaction on the form before they give it to you.
Heaven help us if they just give out all addresses to people who want them.

That is true for private sellers but of course business sellers have to comply with the rules as stated by Steve8975 in his earlier post.

Sorry to burst another bubble in the same thread, but ebay will give out that information if someone has merely placed a bid.

There are thousands of business sellers on ebay working from home that do not have a problem with this.
