Shipping Addresses
From June 1, 2011 and on, all users are to store their address(es) in the new Shipping Address feature, located here. The saved shipping address field will become the only means through which a buyer should share his or her address with the seller. As a buyer, you can store one or more of your addresses and reuse it to tell sellers where you'd like your items shipped. So instead of pasting (or re-typing) your address in a message every time you win an item, you'll simply choose one of your pre-entered addresses, eliminating typos and saving time! An additional benefit is that we standardize abbreviations, correct misspellings, and add in zip codes, all of which should help minimize shipping errors.

While messages can still be used for general communication between buyer and seller, they should not be used for sharing shipping information. In the event of a dispute, if we discover that a buyer or seller has not used the proper method for sharing shipping information, it is unlikely that the dispute will be resolved in their favor.
