Something not quite right.
Summary: northstar-2014 is concerned about a message from a seller requesting their address to send an item, as the original postage label expired. **peaseblossom** explains that eBay postage labels expire after 14 days, meaning the seller needs to repurchase postage or reprocess the transaction, which requires the buyer's address.
I have been trying to find out how to contact an agent, but that's impossible. I hope someone here can put my mind at rest, I am probably being too over cautious, but...
I ordered this item a little while ago and agreed to wait for delivery as seller said he was away on holiday. However I have received the following message this afternoon. I am not confident this is ok, smacks of being a scam or phishing thing or otherwise not quite right. So my question, is it OK to send my address (by replying to seller's message).

Afternoon ******I hope your well, Sorry for the massive delay in the item being sent out to you. I was about to send it out on Tuesday however it turns out that the label has expired. Would you be able to send me your address so I can create a new label at my expense. If you can do it ASAP then the item will hopefully be sent out either today or monday.

Mentor2 weeks ago · Editedebay postage labels expire after 14 days so seller would need to buy their own postage or cancel/refund the transaction and relist for you to buy again.
To buy their own postage they would need your address, they cannot get it on ebay without opening the original label which they won't be able to do now.
