PO BOX

[amethyst1415]

So when I set up my eBay profile I chose "do not ship to PO boxes" yet someone bid and won who only had a post office box.

As it ends up I do not care. The reason I found out I had chosen this was eBay was unable to invoice him and sent me a message saying so.

I sent the item to his PO box.

Why is this an option (what is wrong with PO boxes) and why was it not followed (why was he able to bid and win) when I chose this anyway? Silly.

I really do not know what is wrong with PO Boxes. They are safer than anything as the parcel sits behind a counter for pickup.

Many sellers do not use the postal service but couriers such as FedEx and UPS who cannot deliver to PO boxes.
