Do you use your own address?

I am working on setting up my shop, but I have a question for other sellers. Do you use your own personal address on the packages that you send to buyers, or something else, such as a PO Box, or a private mailbox at the UPS store. I'm a little leery of using my own address.

I use a P.O. box. I understand your feelings about wanting to separate your home from your business. I'd go p.o. box.

I use my own address. Never had an issue with it.

A PMB at the UPS store will give a street address, though.

I am new to Etsy and have only sold a few items, but I do use my own address.

I've used my home address with no complications.

I use a P.O.Box. I'm just more comfortable with that. It costs $40 every 6 months, but I think there's one size smaller.

I do not have a home address but I would use it if I did. For some things I need to use my actual physical address but for regular mail it goes to the Post office. I can't imagine you would have an issue.

I use my own address, but........

I also own 12 Saint Bernards, so the chances of someone having enough guts to try and do something here is very slim :)
