Can I sell on UK site using Parcel Motel UK address?

[gracemellon]

I live in Ireland, but have always preferred buying off eBay UK, using my Parcel Motel address in the UK. My Paypal also has the UK address as the delivery address. What I'd like to know before I start selling is, can I sell my items on eBay UK using that same Parcel Motel address? 

Thanks! 🙂

No. The address has to be a regular one, the one you actually reside at. You can't use a parcel motel or a box number. That applies everywhere, not just in the UK.

Well, how come I can send items through Parcel Motel using either the Irish or Uk address provided, in any other circumstance? I read on another thread where people were talking about returns, that they used Parcel Motel to have items returned to them when faulty, et cetera?

If I was using a warehouse to buy and sell items, I would not be using my home address, for instance?

I could be living in Ireland while running a business in London, for example...

I've been successfully using the Parcel Motel to buy at least 300 items up to now, and they deliver as well as receive parcels. I think you're wrong, and I'm sure when I check it with Parcel Motel later on, that they'll also say so.

Thanks for your answer though, because it's definitely helped me realise that there are way more options open to me than I realised. There is no need for regular address at all, especially if you look up a post about a company based in Hong Kong for returns, even though they sell through an English address... You can look that up in the community page. I'll find you a link 🙂
