APO addresses

May 15, 2007 1:16 PM
I have searched under APO and military adresses and came up empty, so I thought I'd post here.
It is astounding to me that after all the years that eBay has been in business, it is still impossible for a service member from the United States Armed Forces to be able to use this site and accurately enter his or her APO address as it is issued.
It shows a disregard for the people in uniform. With all the upgrades and software changes they have made, why have they ignored this problem? Not only does the automated address system not accept AP as a valid State/Province, but it will not accept my phone number as a valid 10 digit code, even though it is a CA area code. If there is any way you can show me how to register my APO address as it is issued by the government on their website, I would greatly appreciate it and pass it along to others.
Thanks for your time.

Evan, outstanding bit of manipulation! Thank you for sharing. I've been on e-bay and constantly fighting with them for the past six years. What a bunch of putzes! We all ought to write them and tell them to get their act together and start treating us at least on par with residents of American Samoa!

APO addresses

As per citadel149, the address seems to be working for me now, although it still seems to be a problem for some. The fact that no one from eBay has even addressed this issue is a sad comment.

I Think it is a good idea that ebay does not allow for shipping to APO addresses because some sellers do not ship to APO addresses and I hate it when you receive a negative feedback for not being able to ship.
