stuck in customs

[jrr74]

Thank you everyone for your brainstorming  .  I messaged the seller your thoughts about why this item was stopped.  As of this morning, she has not received the item back.  But at least I am feeling hopeful about getting a second chance to buy the Perfume Puff Palace with all of its accessories. 

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays,

you're welcome hun   I hope the seller is understanding and can resend it to you soon

So I don't think this story is going to have a happy ending    The seller still has not received the MIB Perfume Puff Palace back and eBay never took the money out of her account to refund me my purchased price.  I assume that means that eBay liquidated the item.  I received another packaged in the mail yesterday with the stupid shipped/packaged (?)Pitney Bowes logo on it.  Stupid company, where is the common sense?

looked into prohibited items-cosmetics and liquids.  comes with lipstick and nail polish

Wow . . . a sad ending for you, the seller, and the MIB Perfume Puff Palace.

So sad.... if the seller had only had the common sense to take the box to a post office themselves!      I despise the GSP and all it has done for online vintage collecting on Ebay!

that's so awful! If I were the seller I would be getting on to them and really having a go about that because they should send the item back , and besides they weren't real perfume, lipstick or nail polish in there! they are toys for goodness sake     
And this is part of the reason I will never EVER use to GSP when I sell my items internationally  (aside from the poor repackaging issue and the crazy high prices )

So broke down and bought another Perfume Palace from another seller.  Talked to eBay the other day because I really wanted a contact number or e-mail address for Pitney Bowes' global shipping company.  Apparently this is confidential information.  The best eBay will do is send a message to the GSP and then I should receive a reply in the next 72 hours from the GSP.  Best part is, if I do not receive said reply, I contact eBay who will sends them another message.  Even though I have another set on the way (fingers crossed), I am not quite ready to give up on this set.  It really does deserve good home.  It will probably end up on eBay again from one of the employees of the GSP.  That's better than the garbage.

I'm at work so I can't ACTUALLY laugh derisively, but be assured I'm doing so in my head.  Pitney Bowes' contact information is CONFIDENTIAL?  Way to be transparent and support your customers, eBay!

Anyway, I found Pitney Bowes confidential website . . .

eBay could at least have directed you towards that, sheesh.

Thanks LadyMoondancer!  I am going to try to contact them now since it has been more than 72 hours since Ebay was kind enough to send them an email for me, and I have not received word.  Its like good grief Charlie Brown.  I will follow up with my post regarding the outcome of this stupid situation.
