I think you should ask the seller. Just click on the seller's name and you'll be able to ask him a question via email.

I don't see any problems with sending things to a PO Box. Of course, if you used Paypal, the seller may insist on sending it to your confirmed address. But as long as he gets paid, what does he care? [Smile]

I've had stuff I won on ebay sent to my P.O. Box.

I think it would depend also on the company they use to ship things. Some companies do not deliver to PO Boxes.

Posted by Bob_Scopatz (Member # 1227) on :

Most sellers use Priority Mail from the Post Office to ship small things. It's fast and cheap and they provide the shipping materials. If it is Priority Mail, it can definitely go to a PO Box.

But you shouldn't order porn through ebay anyway.

Yeah, that's true. You should order them from Bob directly. [Smile]

Well, he does have good selection and prices....

It took me a little while to figure out what porn had to do with any of this. Then I remembered that in most of the country the postal service actually delivers house to house so not everyone has a PO Box. Silly me. (I really need to get back to civilization. [Grumble]
