why do I have to put my address when selling something

[bessvanhoe_0]

I am trying to sell cordless phones but I don't want to add my address or phone number.

Then eBay is not for you.

Find another way to sell your phones.

Good Luck.

You must identify yourself, including registering a method by which eBay and Paypal can charge your fees.

Also, eBay will from time to time provide members who are in a transaction with each others' contact information, including telephone numbers, so that problems can be smoothed out. When a member requests this, his own information is given to the other member.

While you can use modifications of your name (John Jacob Jingleheimer Smith calling himself John Jingleheimer for example) the address, email and telephone number must be correct and up to date.

You don't have to use your home address. A PO box is acceptable.
