Hello,

I'm absolutely new to E-bay and I have very similar problem.

I'm from Czech Republic and when I try to add czech adress, my cell phone number works properly. So this is fine.

But when I try to add my US adress, I can't add it because the system doesn't allow me to use my czech cell phone number (I don't have US number; the US adress is of a company that is shipping things to Czech Republic). I've tried to write many combinations of how I thought the system might "want" the number to be like - but with no success.

My phone number looks like " +420 XXX YYY ZZZ " where XXX is an operator prefix and +420 is the Czech Republic prefix I usually use.

Help will be very appreciated

by the way , using a reshiper you lose the buyer protection on ebay / pay pal. item is considered delivered when accepted at reshipper. you then have little or no recourse for lost or damage when reshipped

age is a measure of time , wisdom is the measure of how we used that time

seems ebay caught on to your invalid adress. you can't register an adress that isn't yours.

buyers trying to get around seller blocks is the reason ebay doesn't allow it. many won't ship outside the US

There is a phone number for ebay support, cut and paste link from below, to address bar on new tab and click on phone contact on right. it will give phone number and a pin good for 15 minutes.

ebay just makes it hard to contact them

Wow, this problem has been going on since 2008, how unbelievably incompetent and inefficent and pathetic can ebay be??!!!

You can't even email them for help, they only want you to ring them!  I am not wasting money making overseas phone calls on this.

My problem is my registered address is in NZ, but I want to sent the item to a friend in the US.  The phone number is  (for example) 001 781 555 5555.  I've tried everything, even just entering 55555555555555555555555555555555

nothing works!!!!!!!!!!

What kind of an error message is "The phone number field is too short" anyway? And it occurs eventhough I you fill up the field with numbers. Obvisouly a very bad bug, but it seems that it has existed for so long it is unforgivable that is not been fixed.

Tanks brother, the suggestion works for me!

I found a solution that's simple: choose the option to change your address and simply fill out the same address info you already had. However, when filling in your phone number here, it will actually accept it! Next you can pay using paypal

several work arounds in this thread, but seems ebay won't fix the problem
