Why would you want to? Is there a big difference in postage costs than shipping to Florida or California?

You can set your preferences here:

Personally, I don't understand why any US seller would want to block those states and PR! Some of my best buyers have been from AK and HI and are happy to get an item from me and even with shipping costs, it's cheaper than buying in their own state!
I think you're making a big mistake.

In today's business climate, are you 100% sure about excluding AK, HI, & PR? Lots of wonderful customers there!!
Here is the direct exclusion link for you:

Please remember that you will need to adjust the shipping preferences for any current listings. The link is only for new listings after you adjust the exclusion list.

No idea "why" you would limit your sales like that??
Not a wise business decision. Just my 2 cents. Hope you reconsider.

"Please remember that you will need to adjust the shipping preferences for any current listings. The link is only for new listings after you adjust the exclusion list."
Out of curiosity, I clicked that link and there IS a small box near the bottom to "Also apply to current listings."
Although I don't know why any US seller would even want to exclude delivering sales to anybody else with a delivery address in two specific states and one specific territory.
I mean, there are a couple states I prefer not to buy from -- I open a listing and if the item's location is within one or two states, I usually just click the "back" arrow. It depends a lot on how much I want or (think I) "need" the listed item. Just my own preference, my own choice. I just choose not to send my money there, although I will sell and have sold to people who live in those states.

OP has "Free shipping" on most of their listings. They are located in that central area of the US where all of the contiguous states are USPS Zone 7 or closer. Apparently they just don't want to factor-in any Zone 8 buyers.
