Scot, this video was tailor made for me & your timing is impeccable, Sir! This is my #1 biggest fear that has kept me from moving forward & taking the plunge into the ebay, or "Any"Bay online reseller's market! A HUGE thank you Scot, for making these very easy to follow, valuable video tutorials! Every one of your videos that I've watched, are taught so exceptionally well, that is a gift that keeps on giving! Thanks to both you & Melanie, God bless!

Thank you, Scott! I recently mailed out my first package on Tuesday and it arrived safely. It’s been years since I last sold anything and this is the second time I’ve mailed something out. 😅My address was fully on it and I felt very uncomfortable. I googled it and your video popped up! I’ve been binge watching your channel lol you’re so awesome! All those other eBay seller videos are extremely over saturated with misinformation scaring us not into selling. But your channel does the opposite and is heaven sent!! What a blessing!!😍🙌🏽🙌🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽❤️

[@cathyeller5722]

I don't really understand why this is so important but, I followed the tutorial anyway. If someone bought something from you they have your name and address even if it's just a p.o. box all they have to do is google your name and city state and figure it out. Unless, you live in a huge city they can find you. I had someone chase me down through a ebay facebook group then message me through ebay. I dropped off of facebook and went through ebay to block her, then turned her in to ebay. She knew better than to mess with me even though she hadn't done anything yet. Thanks for the video.

[@TheChaChingKing]

I get it, I do. Someone driven enough could still get your information. This just makes it one step harder.

It's such a complicated issue because of taxes. So few of us are qualified to discuss taxes that we don't give out advice in that regard. As far as how we get paid, I run mine as a sole proprietorship. I track my expenses and income. It's WAY more than just cash flow. Try @notyourdadscpa He's a reseller. He's on KZbin.

I went in to my account and did exactly what you suggested! However, it's been a few weeks now and my address is STILL on my return label! What now? By the way, I appreciate your videos very much! They are a tremendous help!

[@TheChaChingKing]

You still have to have a return address. So, opting out alone won't change your return address. Opting out gives you the right to use an alternative address...like a PO Box. But you have to supply some kind of return address.

[@carreyn9808]

So glad I found this video. Thank you so much. Do you have a video on setting up return policies?

I had to stop and think about it. I don't think I do. I've talked a lot about returns in videos. But I don't think I have one dedicated to that. I'll add it to the to-do list.

I missed this and my husband will be so happy to have me opt out. Even though he is not in the military anymore..lesson learned!

[@FunFindsOutpost]

Thanks so much for this. I almost rented a PO Box for this exact reason, and now you saved me the added cost.

[@TheChaChingKing]

You may still need one. Without filling out the exemption, even having a PO Box wouldn't keep you from listing your home address as the business address. With the exemption, you can use a different address for your return address. So, you still have a to have a return address to use. It just no longer has to be your home address. Does that make sense?

Thanks for the info! I would also like to add that for added protection, sellers may consider either having returns go to a PO Box or a different address other than their home address, if possible.
