I'm having an issue with customers unable to put their country and zip code into the shopping cart. The cart is throwing an Error and not allowing checkout. HELP!
The cart would show an -error- for shipping if the buyer's order doesn't qualify for any of the Shipping Rules you have set up. Your current settings appear to have this sorted out already by now, so the following is primarily for others with a similar issue who may encounter this thread:
If you don't wish to ship outside the US, go to Seller Admin > Cart Shipping Settings, then in Shipping Destinations select only United States, then click Next, then click Back to Admin.
If you do wish to ship outside the US, go to Seller Admin > Cart Shipping Settings, select the Shipping Destinations you wish to ship to (or leave nothing selected to allow worldwide shipping), then click Next to proceed to the Shipping Rules screen; there, you would add at least one rule for Country:All Countries (this covers all of your chosen Shipping Destinations which don't have a rule of their own), then click Back to Admin once you're done.
This help page explains our shipping settings in detail:

Can you send us the URL of your sales page?
I tested one of the button codes from your E-junkie account, using Ireland as they do not have postal codes, making them easier to test. It returned a shipping rate, not an error. I would like to reproduce the test on your website. If there is a particular set of product and country combination that you have heard causes the error, please let us know that as well.
I have made shipping rule adjustments and now the cart will return shipping rates for Canada but only the very cheap (first class) or the very expensive (Priority Express) options. First class is problematic because we need to be able to track our packages. Priority Express is cost prohibitive for most of our clients. USPS Priority is the option that causes an error, but it is our preferred shipping method. It worked fine until last Friday. You will not be able to reproduce the error on our website because the cart will only show the options which do not cause an error. You would be able to reproduce the error if I removed the viable shipping options, but I need those active so that our Canadian customers can order.
I could reproduce the error for you if you would like to pull a late night session with me when we are less likely to loose orders. If you would like to email me a phone number I could explain the issue more thoroughly.
Thanks
Thanks for reporting this. I was able to reproduce the problem with a sample product and USPS Priority shipping rule in my own account, so I've reported that bug to Development for a fix.
Most likely, USPS probably just changed something recently in the rate naming they return to us when we query their server for a rate lookup, so we just need to adjust our script to recognize whatever new name they're using to label USPS Priority rates to Canada now.
