Apart from being a legal requirement for Business Sellers, where ever are you seeing your Post code on your listings. For your Location all it shows is UK which means you haven't loaded a Postcode on your listing as that would give a sensible location.

Your FULL address, not just your postcode, must be visible on every listing, which it will be once you register as the business seller that you are (see below for further information).  It has to be visble to your customers by law. If you're not happy with this, you cannot sell on Ebay or anywhere else online.

 

Anyone who makes, grows, refurbishes, or buys in (new or used) items to sell, is a business and must be registered as such. Not only an Ebay requirement but the law. Private accounts are ONLY for those selling off their old no-longer-wanted possessions from wardrobe and attic. That clearly isn't you. For confirmation, go to Ebay's Seller Centre (link at foot of any page). For full information, go to the government's website.

 

And note that there is no such thing as a 'hobby seller' in this country, and how much or how little you sell or make is totally irrelevant.

 

So you need to upgrade your account from private to business (takes seconds) as a matter of urgency, before you find yourself in big trouble with Ebay (for defrauding them of listing fees) and Trading Standards (for breaching consumer law and denying buyers their legal rights).

Your postcode is used to display the item location on the listing

although you cant get rid of it, it will not be shown to buyers that view the listing, instead, it will say something like "London, United Kingdom" (for example)

it seems as though in your case the item location is showing as "UK, United Kingdom" for some reason
