There are ways to have the address checked against postal databases for validity.
Various websites use them.
If BL where to verify only the USA, EU, Germany, France and the Netherlands (the

I agree that BL cannot check every country, verifying 92% of addresses is much
better than 0%.

Buyers are responsible for the correctness of their own address.
If BL would use their database to check addresses there might be privacy laws
involved.
