  BL can't know, and show, the correct format for each country.

That's exactly what I mean.

if the buyer does not know and Bricklink does nothing to show the right address
How the seller should know????

The seller wants to avoid problems. If Bricklink there now helps with the correct
information it should go better.

BTW Not every order comes with paypal payment and logging into paypal to find
the correct address is unnecessary when the address is good in Bricklink

Registration form fields are (almost) localized (i.e. “postal code” instead of
“ZIP code” according to your country), that makes people think that BrickLink
know what they do. They don’t.

There would be a tiny little wee thing BrickLink could do that would greatly
help the matter: just after registration, show the new member their address as
it will be shown to sellers
so that they can verify it.
For now, the only time you see your (badly) formatted address is in your first
order confirmation mail (and you have to look for it).
Otherwise, it doesn’t appear in “My Profile” and you have to try and find the
right link on that page to change all your info (“Edit Account Info”)
to see it.

… And, actually, if you try to change your address, you’re presented with the
same fields as in the registration form. So you can’t even correct BL’s every
errors.
(I recall that it was a unique plain text field when I changed mine after seeing
the botched job BL did with the fields. (It had to be as I could remove the région
from appearing in it. (No région in (metropolitan) France addresses!)))
