RESTRICTED ITEM ?
Summary: florisks shared an experience involving restrictions on shipping or exporting a 10-year-old second-hand hard disk from the UK to the Netherlands. They received a notification that their purchase through a platform's Global Shipping Program could not be completed because the item was classified as restricted. The notification assured them a full refund would be processed within 72 hours. florisks expressed confusion about the situation, finding it strange.
Who knows what happened to shipping/exporting 2nd hand 10 yrs old harddisks from UK to NL ? :
>> RESTRICTED ITEM
>> Dear XYZ,
>> We are writing to inform you that your recent purchase from [systemsupplyindustriesltd] via the Global Shipping Program cannot be completed.
>> The item is classified as restricted. This may be due to import/shipping restrictions or Global Shipping Program eligibility requirements. The item will not be shipped to you, nor will it be returned to the seller.
>> Don't worry! Your full refund will be processed within 72 hours via the original payment method. You may see two separate refunds: one for the item and one for shipping and import charges. No further action is required.
This is weird, right?

There are many strange import restrictions; I would assume this is one of them.
