On June 1st, we’ll be rolling out a new feature, Shipping Addresses. In a nutshell, these are saved addresses that buyers enter once and reuse to tell sellers where they’d like their 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 (example below).
Before June 1st, however, we’d like to first roll out the shipping address management page, located at http://www.listia.com/account/addresses. Over the next week, feel free to dive-in and save your shipping address so that you’re ready to go come June!
You can also navigate to the shipping address page from your My Listia page as well:
Thanks!

can you enter more than 1 adress this will be really cool
Yes you can
I recently moved about a month after entering in a shipping address, and i deleted my old one and tried to add my new shipping address into the system. But eveytime i try it says Declined. er Denied. One of the two. I can’t seem to get it to accept my new address, and i’ve been spelling everything right. I’ve been trying for about a week now… HELP???
this happens to like for2 week and i am new to listia
Did you ever find a fix for this? I am having the same issue.
i keep trying send my shipping address but it keeps saying declined why?
I’m new to this but I’ve been trying for about 3 weeks now and it won’t accept my address it keeps telling me its declined and I’m spelling everything right is there any way to fix this I’ve won som stuff and wasn’t able to get it cause the seller couldn’t get my address and wouldn’t accept it in a email even tho it was the same as my DECLINED ADDRESS is there a way todo something bout this.
Will this automatically give the seller your address once you have won the auction? I hope so. It will make the wait easier on both the seller and the buyer.
Great Idea!! Thanks for making Listia easier!!
Thanks Listia for adding useful new features to the site! Now if only you would make a UNIVERSAL app in the App Store, because I like to browse Listia on my iPad.
Gotta love the upgrades!!!
LOVE the idea HATE that you auto shorten my zip code from 9 digits to 5. This is bad because in my overpopulated county, the extra dash four digits gets me my mail DAYS faster because its more specific. My 5 digit zipcode applies to 4 different towns BUT my 9 digit ONLY applies to MY town. FIX the form, please, before it go live!
yesssssssssssssssssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! awesome
come to think of it, why did you not have this when you started?
@Kendrah: Not quite. Once the auction ends you’ll receive an e-mail saying that you’ve won (as usual). From there you’ll have to choose the saved address you want to use. We’ve thought about what you’ve proposed, and it’s something we’re still thinking about! =)@SanFran876: Good point. Right now we’re relying on Google Maps to help us clean up the addresses, and at this point they’re not yet supporting the 9-digit ZIP codes. We’ll definitely mark this down as a to-do and see what we can do for you!
ive won item and have been trying for the past couple days to enter my address so the seller will send the item. ive already paid shipping and when i click the validate address button it does nothing. what can be done to fix this??
Help me I can’t even get the button on my address verification to work also unable to send a help ticket the page wont work help
It won’t work for me! Google doesn’t recognize my address since I live on a County Road. Oh well, it doesn’t take but a few seconds to type it out. Great idea though!
Well, does that mean we will not be able to change our addresses again and again? like if i want to directly gift the item to someone or send somewhere else then? Can we still use the Message/Mail system for the Final Address or no?
I cant use my address either and its a normal address. When I typed it in, it only shows the city, state and zip. It does not show the numbers or route. I would love to be able to use this feature. I think it would be easier if you were not using google maps. Just let the person type in and save the address and not worry about you guys verifying it. I think we all know our address better than google map does. Just my opinion. Great idea though!
i agree, i am new and i won an auction but it says it cant verify my address, this IS my address, i dont know what to do… i want my item, especially since listia already got the amount out so i did pay, why in the world would i give a bad address?/ please LISTIA helppppppp… i want my item… ty , elizabeth
@aggiesangels and @shanastyred: Please submit a support ticket at http://www.listia.com/help and provide your full address. We’ll look into this@BestLoginSeller: We’re allowing users to enter their shipping addresses to our management page so by June 1st, you can simply choose one of your pre-entered addresses when you win an item. We want to eliminate typos which can prevent shipping errors or delay. You can add and remove addresses on http://www.listia.com/account/addresses
This is awesome! Except it makes spelling checks that I can’t override. My street is “Lakeview” one word, not two words “Lake View.” Not sure if that really makes a difference in shippng but……?
i live in a college dorm and change addresses every semester. will i be able to change it when i need to? my university is a pain when it comes to mail forwarding
for some reason it will not accept my house number….any suggestions?
Well, I’m not sure I can use this either. I put in my zip code but when it shows up corrected there is no zip at all. Just USA (which, quite frankly, covers a lot of area)
@Lonely_Cupcake: Right now we’re relying on Google Maps to help us clean up the addresses. Try entering your address on Google Maps and see if the location of your address is correct with the Lakeview vs Lake View difference@adrapes92E303: You can add and remove addresses on http://www.listia.com/account/addresses@streetcar76: Right before you click on “Save Address”, click on “Need Help?” and see if one of those tips apply to you@mamakat828: Same with Lonely_Cupcake’s reply, try entering your address on Google Mpas and see if your address shows upIf you’re still experiencing issues with entering your shipping address (after attempting all necessary options), please send us a support ticket at http://www.listia.com/help with your full shipping address and we’ll try to further investigate the situation. Thanks!
be careful with this service, for example, my address will not confrim with the lot number, only address to front office
also it puts periods between initials which USPS does not want on addresses
@buttonlady: Try adding your Lot # by adding a field in the “Need Help?” link. Here’s a screen shot: http://help.listia.com/attachments/token/xrqoaitel6ngnn8/?name=PO_BOX.png
my address is a P.O. box and it did the same thing with the zipcode, just put my city, state, and USA. Any suggestions? Otherwise I will just type it in everytime, no big deal, I’ve been doing it that way forever
wouldn’t accept my apartment number….even after I used the *help* and added a new box for apartment. Then it said the page was not found.
@dthomas1388: You can add your P.O. Box # in the “Need Help?” link. Here’s a screen shot: http://help.listia.com/attachments/token/xrqoaitel6ngnn8/?name=PO_BOX.png. Also check out the latest blog. It has more information about shipping addresses@scrappinmagic: Try entering your address again & add the apartment number in the first step. (ex: 12345 Street Name “#”, City, State, Zip).If problems still persist, please submit a support ticket (www.listia.com/help) and include your address. Thanks! We’re glad everyone is entering in their shipping addresses
I got it….it's listing my apartment number before the street address, which is fine!! It did the same when I listed my daughter's PO box (as I sometimes have items shipped to her)Thanks! Karen
So….I live at 215a — it’s a split lot with 2 houses, not an apartment. It keeps reverting to 215. I tried to use the “other” box, but then that looks confusing because it reads “#215a, Road, City, State…” So it doesn’t look like 215a is my street address! Help!
@Tara W: Go ahead and submit a support ticket to us at http://www.listia.com/help. and include your full address so we can check it out for you (You don’t need to reveal it here)
I keep putting in my address and it keeps telling me a different one..my address is three Springs it keeps putting 3 springs..that is not my address..so I think this is more trouble than it;s worth…
im already having trouble with this address thing. I try adding my postal code and when i press the verify button i keeps on changing my postal code. the ending of my postal code is 4 and it changes it to a 2. it keeps everything the same exept that part. HELP!
Why not make it preferred, but not required because Google maps does not get 90% of the addresses right the first time. Besides I like the idea of having to pick and choose which address I want the item shippied, because it provides me with more human contact than with a computer that can and sometimes go down and mess things up for everyone.
Thanks everyone for commenting. We built this feature with only our users’ best interests in mind, and we regret to hear that it’s causing some people trouble. As always, we’re here to help!If you’re experiencing an incorrect address after clicking on “Verify Address” (such as incorrect zip code, city, etc), please send us a support ticket at http://www.listia.com/help including your mailing/shipping address and we’ll look into it. Thanks again!
I tried using the new shipping address for Listia,and i am not happy at all,i put in my shipping addresss but when i went to confirm it,it shows a totally different address,now it is saved,and it isnt even my address,how the heck can i change this,and why isnt it saving my address i wrote in ????
I could not get my proper shipping address to verify properly. I’m not sure why. It kept defaulting to a different location, and there was nowhere that I could see where I could edit the address and save it correctly. Help?!!
@Shannon and @CrafterCat – Click the “Need Help?” link right under the address after you enter it and you can add any other info you like, such as PO box #’s, apartment #’s etc. You can easily remove the one that was saved and add a new one as needed
Hi, there is a problem when I would add my Morocco long address your system don’t understand the form it should be so please let me add a address without verification by automated or manual systems .
@Achraf: Hi there. Please send us a support ticket (www.listia.com/help) with your full address and we’ll be able to help you.
Listia said to email them through their help link at the very bootom of the site pages with your full addy and they wil “fix it” what I am dong in the mean time is charging a 1.00 token shipping fee, and accpeting paypal payment, to get an accurate mailing addy for auction winners. most everyone os willing to help and understands. I hope to get back to fee shipping soon!
This is all good and well except you DECLINED my address and didn’t even tell me WHY. My address is EXACTLY what I’ve used for hundreds of packages that have been shipped to me so I don’t understand why you DECLINED it. You should at least tell me WHY.
I dont know what you are talking about, i didnt decline anything, only Listia can do thatShannon
cant add my adress………
showing “sorry, we cant find any results for that adress. plz try again”..

I’m having the same problem as vicky walker. There has to be an answer in how to fix it. HELP ME PLEASE !!!!
how long does it take too verify a address its been 2 days for me now?
Hi Casey b,
Usually just a couple of days, so yours is probably coming right up. If you’d like to check on it though, you can always send in a ticket. Thanks!
This verify address thing is ridiculous. I have tried to verify and it doesn’t do anything just sits there. I think that something needs to be fixed with this since so many seem to be having problems. Maybe hire some competent IT people.
did you ever get help for this? same thing happening to me
Not very beneficial for me. I keep trying to put it my address and it keeps saving it incorrectly. Not sure what to do!!!
i need help it wont let me verify my address
wat can i do?
for some reason it keeps decline my address i dont know why can you find out why
please
hey i am from australia and i am unable to put in my adress could someone please help me
it takes too long for pending cant you gust verify the address
Listia has declined my address. Why did they decline it? What do I do to resolve this?
it wont let me click on verify address when i type in my address. Why?
I entered my address and it was declined. My wife has a listia account, but she uses it for things for her and I want one for me. we googled information on why mine was declined and information saying that if the same address is used then it will be declined to assure that people aren’t using multiple accounts. What about people who have multiple adults in the same house? Not really fair. She has completely different taste then I do.
Why I try to verify my address, it changes everything. I live in a town called Lawrenceville, which is in northern PA… but I hit the verify button and suddenly the address is in pittsburgh?! And I am still waiting on support to get back to me with a way to fix the problem
I just want to say how upset I am with this site. My little brother found this site and he has been using it, he has already gotten a few things from it. It seemed cool so I decided to check it out, only to turn out that I can not get anything because it denies my address, I assume because he already has the same address set. I find this extremely upsetting and wish something would be done about it.
Okay, I’m just a little confused. When I signed up with Listia I made an account that’s connected to my Facebook. However, I got sick of it logging my Facebook out every time I logged off of listia and vice versa. Therefore, I made another account that is separate from Facebook. I DO NOT use my Facebook connected account, but because I already have my address on the Facebook connected account it won’t let me use my address for my separate account. it denies it every time. How can I use my address on my listia if it denies it!!
My address is still not working even when i click no it won’t let me fix it
I keep trying to put in my address and it keeps changing the street name. What do I do?
I cant get my address to save

its wrong
its not letting me save a address any suggesstions on what to do
I moved and went to change my address and it wont let me save it. I typed it in properly and everything so now what can i do? Any suggestions?
By the way I deleted my old address and cannot enter the new address so does this now mean i am not verified?
i live with 2 other people and we all use the same computer and all have listia accounts. but it has only saved one of the users address. lee carley and myself can not seem to get it to save ours… please help.

First time user and won
I have tried to verify my address many times but I get no save button and the verify button is grey and won’t let me click it.
Each time I type in my address to validate it, the address it changes it to is not correct. For some reason I have had this same problem with my address here locally with GPS systems. The address it pulls up is 815 College Terrace, Murray, Ky 42071 when my actual address is 815 College Courts, Murray Ky 42071. There is a College Terrace in Murray but its not where I am. I live on campus at Murray State University. I’ve already had one auction I won get sent to this wrong address and I don’t want it to happen again. How can we fix this?
whenever i type in my address it changes my rd. is it because its a Farm to Market road? ive won 2 auctions and lost a lot of points because of this. very disapointed.
It REFUSES to acknowledge my address as valid. I live in W Smith St and it insists on live on W Smith Rd. There is a W Smith St and Rd in my town I live on ST not RD… UGH how can I get it to approve my actual address?? I have this is with GPS all the time… everyone ends up at W Smith RD instead of my house on W Smith St. My house is 7 years old, it is not exactly new.
MY ADDRESS KEEPS GETTING DECLINED! I HAVE LIVED HERE FOR 11 YEARS!! HELP!!!!
