Post by: AGmurdercore on Sun, 27 October 2013, 11:35:11
Hello i am desperate and i need your help. A few days ago i sold an item in ebay and i can't mark it as shipped because ebay is forcing me enter USA address and USA phone number in the lines even tho i am from Bulgaria... I found an address np but all the phone numbers i enter are incorrect according to ebay. I already shipped the item and i wont be able to get my money even if i don't mark the ****ty 6$ item as shipped lol. Please tell what to do if any of you can help me ;(

Its likely its determining a wrong number based on area code. What's the city and state of the address?

Area code is not a postal code.

Our phone numbers go 406-XXX-XXXX btw

Look up a store in that area and look at their phone number then change two digits to whatever you want

They have a customer support hotline--I'd try calling and asking.  I've called before. I do think it's outsourced somewhere in India, but nonetheless, it could help.

Just in case it was not clear, I meant that you can call them :)  I don't know your information or the eBay phone number from Bulgaria :)  I really hope you will resolve this.

Could be possible that you entered a wrong number too many times and it flagged something
