I'm twitchy about putting my address on anything as I trade from home. I had a situation with some weird people finding out where I lived and coming round for malicious reasons and I'm here, in the middle of nowhere on my own all day so I don't like putting my postal addy if I can help it.

Legally you do need a trading address on your 'site (but this doesn't have to be the same as your home or where you 'make' as you aren't a registered or ltd company). In your situation I have come across a couple of small co's (in very rural situations) where their friendly local post office has acted as such. Your local Trading standards could advise on other ways of fulfilling the laws.
Less legal, but I've yet to come accross anyone who was otherwise acted 100% legally being muttered at, would be to use the address of someone who is happy for you to have them as your 'correspondance' and setting up a mail forwarding service with the RM. Trouble with this is that 2 years is the maximum that you can use it for any one address, and it does cost about £50 per six months for a company name, or £50 per year for an individual.
Mind you you list your terrestial phone no. I suspect that this may be, um, sufficient... worth asking TS to confirm though.

Thanks - but, you know, to be frank I couldn't care less if I'm breaking some law or other. If TS want to fanny about with a micro trader who doesn't have a contact address on the site then they can feel free. Hopefully they'ver got bigger fish to fry.
Thanks anyway |
