EBay Sellers "This item does not ship to Alaska/Hawaii"

[darrylkmc]

Wondering what the reasoning for Ebay Sellers going out of their way to exclude sales to Alaska and Hawaii.

Does not ship to Alaska/Hawaii

Here is yet another example:

I have bought and sold a lot on Ebay, is there a special button to push somewhere that automatically Excludes the 49th and 50th States?

Are our US Dollars no good to folks in the Lower 48?

Looking for input, justification and/or opinions.

Also USPS Flat Rate Boxes are the same rate for All 50 States.
