Question
I think items on Ebay can't be shipped to a PO BOX. I've tried UPS but it's very expensive to get a regular address there. Any ideas on how I can rent an address, cheaply, where I can get my items from Ebay?

Answer
Your first statement is incorrect.  Any item on Ebay can be shipped to a PO Box - but it depends on the seller.  SOME SELLERS prefer not to ship to a PO box to protect themselves against possible scammers.  You can write to a seller in advance if you are ask if they would ship to a PO Box.  

I'm afraid I don't understand what you mean in your second statement "It's very expensive to get a regular address there".  UPS needs a street address in order to deliver - as does DHL and FEDEX.   Every house, apartment or building has some sort of 'physical address.' Check with your local land office or county clerk to get your home's physical address.  

Hope this helps.
