I have received 3 orders over the past few weeks that USPS claims
are invalid.
Both BrickLink and paypal match. Do neither of these two organizations check
addressess, or is it up to mulitiple sellers to verify them?

I know BrickLink doesn't validate addresses. Paypal has a validate option,
but buyers are not required to complete it. Shipstation seems to have a good
program for validating addresses when actually purchasing the postage. I did
recently have to reconfirm a zipcode. I checked Shipstation, Pirate Ship, USPS,
and Google and then used the one that won best 3 out of 4.

So, I guess the answer is yes, you have to check it yourself. I am sure this
is frustrating for a high-volume seller like yourself.

Thanks,
Jen
