UPDATE FROM EBAY TO Sellers: Once again Mail to SOME International Counties is being held up in the USA; delayed; or even being return to the Ebay Senders.
Due to the Pandemic and Influx of Seasonal Visitors; some of the Mail from Florida is STILL taking up to 25 or more DAYS TO REACH the Addressee.
Mail to Foreign Nations can take up to two months. Foreign buyers should check with the Customs / Post Office in their city if they feel their item has been unduly delayed.
Please be Aware of this fact. There is nothing I can do about this Problem with USA Post Office. Patience is needed during these troubling times.
