    Exactly, JFK is usually the problem. LA and SF have traditionally been very fast, even in the pandemic. Ive been in contact with USPS, not much they can do since they can't see anything about it until customs releases it. Weird that it seems to be happening to two in a row now. Makes me worry about the other 3-4 I have coming

    Anyone else notice one*day_bid has no items for sale at the moment? They usually have loads.
    I’m a little worried about the preorders I have with them, though they’ve always come through before.

    And now the fun part where I talk to USPS and they say it went into customs and so I need to contact CBP. Waited on the phone with CBP for half an hour and was told that it processed through USPS but isn't in customs, so they can't help me, I need to talk to USPS

    AAAAARRRRGGGGGHHHHHHHH

    They seem to do this fairly often actually. Not sure if it's clearing out old listings or updating inventory, but it seems they do this for a day or so almost every month now?

    Something else to consider, they've stated in the past that yellowb_05 is on of their other accounts (and I still strongly suspect mr.brian2008 is as well) I'll often find when one*day_bid removes many listings, more than a few of them tend to randomly show up on one or both of those accounts for purchase as well. Not really clear on why this happens, but just something I've noticed over time.

    I ordered from PANDA DEPARTMENT STORE on Aliexpress 4 months ago. My orders have been stuck in Shanghai. I just got refunds. Now I'm trying to figure out if I should reorder the same items from ebay so they can ship Speedpak. Or wait a while to see if anything moves from Shanghai. Or just say to hell with the whole thing.

    As suspected, eBay couldn’t give a toss as it was outside of the 30 day money back ‘guarantee’. So no way to get a refund it seems, unless the seller all of a sudden grows a conscience. You live and learn I guess.

    I can’t say the same as you...I ordered from mascotzone on ebay, and then when the item came to my local post office this thing happened: The local post office forgot to notify me, that my package has arrived and then time goes by and the package went back to the seller! And now the result of aaaall this is, that the seller won’t refund the money. First the seller promised that he will refund the money right away, when he has get the item back. Now he has gone silent. He won’t answer anything back, not even one word! I put up a case on ebay, but ebay won't do anything, because too much time has past. So literally i believed that seller will refund the money and i stayed waiting just a little too long. On top of all that, the corona made things difficult, even though I wasn’t sore myself or my family. What i mean is that corona made these delays etc...everything was a mess.

    I quess it was a close-knit situation. But the rules are rules on ebay, and i follow them. The waiting was a mistake...

    And yes, i have even asked from my local post office, that whether they cover my loss, but they said that since the package went back to the seller, i should received refund from the seller. So, there’s that.

    This was the first time, that i had a problem with a seller. And i have been collecting for years and years.

    From now on...i will never wait too long again. And i don’t completely trust any seller no more. One scam is enough for me. From now on i am very sceptical to sellers.

    I don’t understand these unreliable sellers. Why be so dishonest?

    So, from my point of view, this mascotzone is a scammer! I had to said that, because of what i have experienced.

    At least i have received an education that have to be honest at all times. All day...every day period.

    Just curious why you had to return the item? I've ordered a couple items from him and other than the extremely long wait for delivery, he's been solid.

    Got my siege Ratbat and rumble from guang1121 today, no issues besides the package came speedpak then went to ups mail innovations, I hate ups mail innovations. Luckily it only sat at the post office for a few days, the sticker sheet I got from everyones favorite ebay seller sat for 13 days......
