You speak about bitcoin addresses of course ?  
Are you sure those addresses are valid ?  
Did you look at them with an explorer ?  
What is your Bisq version ? Which OS ?

I would assume that you are not putting a valid Bitcoin address then.  
Try using Bitcoin Core as your Bitcoin wallet to generate bitcoin addresses. That should work,

Just don’t keep Bitcoin Core and Bisq running at the same time if you choose to set it up in pruned mode.
