The isle of wight keeps getting excluded on shipping. Even for small items, which majes no sende

Why is the isle of wight being excluded from uk shipping,  we're not part of the channel islands. And unless its huge items like furniture,  there's no extra charges or freight charges. It makes no sense, and its getting irritating when you can't even buy things as small as a deck of cards.

 

Ebay should be doing something about this issue, but you can't even complain to them about it.

As I understand it, couriers charge more for I o W, but it could also be sellers who block remoter parts if the UK. I am afraid there are far too many who do not know where IoW is.

This is the list of places in the UK that can be blocked see below.

 

I am afraid it is sellers choice, ebay cannot make sellers sell to anywhere, but you coukd contact sellers to see if they will post to you.

Tried that, the last one who was in Birmingham, told me I was living into
the channel islands and that he wasn't going to pay freight, I told him pop
it in a padded envelope ask for 2nd class package and it will still get
here ok.

Honestly sometimes I think we get such a raw end of the deal. Because eBay
doesn't explain this to sellers and even English sellers are convinced now
this is some how like the isle of man.

It's beyond a joke.
