eBay Listing does not show a shipping cost for Jersey or Guernsey "countries". Why?

[pocomocomputing]

No shipping cost is displayed for Jersey and Guernsey "countries" in the eBay shipping cost when you have those countries as a "country" you ship to.

This has been happening for 2-3 years and I always forget to bring it up with Kalvin.

A message is displayed to contact the seller for shipping costs. For example,

This item will ship to Guernsey, but the seller has not specified shipping options. Contact the seller and request a shipping method to your location.

This happens when logged into eBay.ca or eBay.com and if you list on either site.

I have checked my listings and other sellers listing (Pierre for example) and get no shipping cost, just the warning above. (I removed the two countries from my listing since I am tired of seeing the error message. Not that there are many potential buyers there to worry about losing.)

This happens whether you list with Flat Rate or Calculated shipping in the listing.

Anyone know why? It seems to be a glitch in eBay shipping but then again, Guernsey and Jersey are different being separate from the UK but part of the UK for defense.

If interested, read Wikipedia here

Maybe someone can check if this happens to their listings.

PS If I check the Canada Post Find a Rate web page and enter these "countries", I get a shipping rate for International Parcel Air and Surface, Small Packet Air and Surface an Light Packet International.

If I check this International shipping table at Canada Post below, both are listed in the table.

Like Puerto Rico is shipped under USA, Guernsey, Jersey, Alderney and Isle of Man should be mailed under UK (United Kingdom).  Their postal code are British.

I have the same error message on my listings, even if I ship everything worldwide....

What does your reply have to do with the eBay listing shipping calculator apparently not working for Jersey and Guernsey?

Jersey and Guernsey are considered part of the UK, like Scotland or Northern Ireland.

Buyers living in Jersey or Guernsey (I have a few) would check the cost of shipping to the UK.
