iPhoto says my address is invalid

I am trying to purchase a photo book that I have made. it is 100 pages and i hate to lose it. I keep getting the message "The billing address does not contain a valid city/state/zip combination. Please edit the address and try saving again." I have erased all my addresses (from iPhoto, iTunes, and on the Apple website) and re-entered my credit card info over and over, it still will not allow me to make the purchase.

I have gotten the message that I will not be able to order books through iPhoto after March 31st so I am trying to get an answer asap, any advice is appreciated!

have you selected the correct country for the Print Products Store in the iPhoto Preferences > Advanced panel?

The country needs to be the same as the country of the delivery address and the billing address.

And iPhoto has a glitch - if the name of your street contains the letters P-O in this order, iPhoto will treat it as a post office box and that is illegal. If your city name or street contains these letters, replace the letter O by a zero character and try again.

I have iphoto '09 version 8.1.2 and that is not an option under the "advanced" tab. I ordered books a few months ago so i do not understand this latest issue. I live on a #ed street so I do not have that P-O issue with my address, any idea?
