Seller adress for EBay?

Misteek

I want to sell things from home. So I need to create a seller account. I'm not sure I feel comfortable putting my actual adress on it. Am I able to use an alternative business registered adress.
Like this one ? office-serv.co.uk/registered-address
 Or would I have to put my residential address on the seller account ?

You must give eBay your geographic address but if you are a private seller then your buyers won’t get to see it. If you are a business seller, I’d buying things to resell or making things to sell then you must display it on your listings.

Even if you are a private seller then any person who buys from you would see your address if you put it as a return address on your packaging, I certainly wouldn’t recommend posting anything without a return address in case buyer doesn’t take package in, or refuses it at door.

You will also need your geographic address on PayPal as they will check it as soon as you hit any verification limits.

What do you mean about putting return on your packaging ?

If you post things out you need a return address on your parcels, just as you would for any other parcel.

.....and courier labels usually have the return address automatically included when you print them; at least, the ones I use do, I haven't used every single one.

Royal Mail do as well, when you use their online services.
