Looks like Guernsey, Channel Islands.

Just a guess but I would say Vale on the Channel Islands, more precisely Guernsey.

However, that road doesn't seem to exist.

Probably Rue du Tertre

According to Google

I have looked up the post code and nothing comes up, ive sold this item on ebay and stated united kingdom only, It costs over £40 with parcel to go to send this to channel islands, i only charged £10 to post it, but assuming im correct channel islands is not in the united kingdom ?

Technically it is. I'd email him back and state the increased costs and see if you can come to an agreement. he'll be well aware of the cost to post stuff to the CI's so he may well tell you to lump it or report you to ebay.

Sort of, we're a crown dependency i believe, so self governed but follow the queen. Most of the time it seems like we're part of the UK for somethings but not others.

Instead of causing a fuss and not shipping it I'd contact the seller and ask for the extra, and for future orders put mainland UK delivery only.

Did he pay by Paypal? Is this address taken form an eBay email or a Paypal email?

I always find address in the Paypal payment emails better and more reliable.

Just my 2 cents...

The guy from Guernsey will be well aware of the situation. He's seen your listing and thought, "hah, doesn't say mainland UK only!"

Be ready for an argument

They're not part of the United Kingdom. End of.
