regionId

The unique identifier of the shipping region. The value returned here is dependent on the corresponding regionType value. The regionId value for a region does not vary based on the eBay marketplace.

If the regionType value is COUNTRY, the regionId value will be the two-letter code for the country, as defined in the ISO 3166 standard.

If the regionType value is STATE_OR_PROVINCE, the regionId value will either be the two-letter code for US states and DC (as defined on this Social Security Administration page), or the two-letter code for Canadian provinces (as defined by this Canada Post page).
