paying postage

1 / I have just sold an item but  the buyer made a slight misstake on the address.

i had already sorted the postage that Ebay sorts, but when i amended the address ( I ) had to pay the  postage .

2/ why doesnt Ebay have a check system to make sure the buyers  address is correct and in the correct format before the deal is set? or does it?

Many thanks in advance.

It's up to buyers to ensure address is correct, they can amend it at checkout. 

As you found, sellers can't alter postage label.
