I only ship within the U.S. and it is kinda irritating that the WBN asks for the country of the bidder and for mail in payments it says "United States of America" in my address. For those who only ship within the U.S. it is not needed. I had one person make fun of me when he mailed payment. He put my address on the envelope in normal print and then in LARGE CAPITOL letters across the entire length of the envelope he put UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. Some people misread the WBN and think that where it says "Country" that it says "County" and one address said "Carroll" under it but the persons name was something else. I assume they live in Carroll County but they should know the address format for mailing stuff and know that you don't put the name of the county underneath the City, State and Zip. I am truly amazed at how dense most people are. So, since this is not necessary and is misunderstood by certain types of people, can the Country part of my address and the address for the bidder be an option so that I can remove it on my WBN's to avoid confusion on the part of very confused bidders?

Hello Antelope67,
Thank you for pointing this out - the country field does seem a little unnecessary when selling within the US. I'll bring this to the attention of the product manager, and perhaps we can put it on the list of improvements.
