There is no way to keep from getting ghosted and I do try to make allowances for life getting in the way, particularly as panic is spreading and people are being impacted on various different facets. I wouldn't call it "ghosting" so much as I would just call it "a bit delayed". I would give it a few days at least, people can be busy usually and daily isn't always feasible. I sell on Depop and my pet peeve is when people message me asking if something is still avaliable...and then don't buy it. Like, yes? I gave no indication that you had to message first. Thankfully most of my transactions have been easy otherwise.
...You don't recycle the bubblewrap into the next package going out? I do. Why buy new packaging when you have it already? If it's not recyclable then reusing it makes more sense. I've never thrown bubblewrap out and the pockets can be burst and used to slide ponies/accessories in for transit as well - saving you from adding to the planet's problem by buying new zippy bags.
And again, current exceptional context aside, people who pretend that not shipping overseas is for your own benefit as a buyer - "Oh, it's too expensive" (yes, but I'm paying it!) or because you're somehow dishonest by geography (because nobody is ever scammed by someone living in their own country... ).

I've been sending board games all over the world and I've never had a problem. I have customs stickers at home and I don't have a drivers licence, so I'm dependent on public transport when going to the post office, but that has never been a problem. As I can fill in the customs sticker at home, I can simply drop off the parcel at the post office closest to my office (which is directly opposite to the railway station), which isn't more time and effort than posting a domestic consignment.It's always so annoying if you can find just one buyer who sells the item you've been looking for on amazon or ebay and then they tell you they only ship within their country. In an international market like board games or MLP it's especially infuriating, as I can't buy these items locally.
