Potential buyer in Puerto Rico inexplicably cannot buy from me

A person in Puerto Rico who has bought from me on occasion in the past is now getting a message stating that I do not ship to Puerto Rico. About six years ago I stopped shipping internationally and changed my settings to "Ships to United States only." The last time I checked, Puerto Rico was considered part of the U.S.

Has anybody else had this problem?

Is it possible that USPS is having temporary problems because of hurricanes?  Puerto Rico is part of USA.

Thanks for checking.

This is odd because I've had several buyers from Puerto Rico in the past (including the buyer who brought this to my attention) without any issues.

I spoke to someone from eBay's customer service department earlier tonight for nearly half an hour, but she was unable to solve my problem. She checked my settings and said that my shipping preferences do not exclude Puerto Rico.

Same thing happened to me. They buried Puerto Rico in the International shipping section under Oceania - go to:

unclick the box for Puerto Rico (I did the same for Guam)

Click Also Apply To Current Listings near bottom and Save at bottom.

I'm afraid that the ebay software doesn't recognize Puerto Rico as anything other than 'International'.  As mentioned, you have to identify it as being a 'ship to' location.

Not saying 'NO' doesn't mean 'YES'.

The foolishness of one's actions or words is determined by the number of witnesses.
