Hi everyone,
I've come across a challenge recently that's left me a bit stuck and I'd love to hear your thoughts or experiences. I sold an item on eBay and planned to ship it using an outside option instead of through eBay's system. However, I've noticed that the buyer's address no longer appears in the order details, and my attempts to contact the buyer have been unsuccessful.
For those who have shipped items outside of eBay, how have you managed to obtain the necessary shipping information? Are there any strategies or tips you've found effective in ensuring a smooth transaction without direct access to buyer details through the platform?
Any advice on how to navigate this situation while maintaining good customer relations and ensuring a safe transaction would be greatly appreciated!
Looking forward to your insights!

Why don't you want to use the eBay label? If the item gets lost or damaged eBay will refund your buyer.
