Ok, but if you look up the other zip is it physically/geographically close to the one you shipped to? The last 2 digits of my zip are completely different from the last 2 digits of my PO's zip

I had never heard of the town, but I googled it and it is 2 counties and about 30 miles away. I'm the buyer, not the seller. The package is supposed to come to me.
There is a post office in my town that has the last two digits of the zip completely different from mine, so I know what you mean.
I'm sure this is somewhere in here, but I don't have the attention span to look for it in 400 or so pages, so please indulge a newbie and help me out. Why does eBay hold money from a sale for 20 days? My buyer has received her item, left positive feedback, I've left positive feedback. What's the hold up? The buyer paid with an echeck which cleared before I shipped. This means that it will be a full calendar month from the date of purchase to the time I actually get my payment according to PayPal. Why?
Because you are a new seller or you are new to selling designer or expensive items. Usually once the buyer gives positive feedback, the money will be released sooner. After you have several of these types of sales, the hold will be removed. If the hold is for designer/high priced items, you should be able to sell other items without a hold.
Got it. Ok. I guess I'll just sit tight then and wait. The transaction was completed Thursday last week so hopefully the funds will be released soon. I've got purses to buy!
Since there's been delivery and positive feedback, you might try calling ebay and see if they'll release the funds.
Hi! I am back with another question 
When making a return to a seller with a return policy, do I need to open an official return request on eBay or do I just ship it back?
Thank you so much for all the help you guys give here, I've learned a lot from reading all your answers to various questions.

I would never just ship it back without contacting the seller. Some sellers prefer that you contact them and return the item without opening a return request. Others want you to open an return request. Some sellers have a return form they want you to fill out and include with the returned item. If I were the seller, I would want to know a returned item was on its way and would want the tracking number so I could make sure I didn't miss it.Hi! I am back with another question

How do I report another user using my photos for a fake listing? ... I assume it's a fake listing because the only pictures they have posted are mine and have zero feedback. Thank you for your help!
Here's what to do:
http://pages.ebay.com/help/policies/image-text.html#report
"How to report another member that has copied your images or text
If you believe another eBay member has copied images and/or text from your listing, we encourage you to contact the other member to ask if they'll remove your image or text from their listing.
If the other member is unwilling to remove the image or text, you may report it using our VeRO program. You must fill out the Image and Text Theft Notice of Claimed Infringement and return to the VeRO team. To learn more about VeRO and how to contact us, please see our Reporting intellectual property infringements (VeRO) page.
If you don't own the rights to the images or text, you will not be able to report these items through the VeRO program. However, you may consider contacting the rights owner directly to have them report these items."
It's not necessarily fake but the pictures in the listing certainly don't show what the buyer will be getting.
In post #4 of the following discussion, I described how to report:
