    US has Japan under economic sanctions, Japan retaliates, seller can't ship.

    There is an issue with destination country.

    Seller emailed me: As you already know US has put Japan under economic sanctions, and as a measure of retaliation against this betrayal, Japan has decided to limit the value of exported parcels. It is now forbiden to export a parcel with a value that exceeds $100.

    Feel free to contact me again when situation will be cleared.

    My reply: From:   [removed by moderator]

    4/12/26 Hi, Yes, we have a miserable president right now, sorry. If you find the situation changed, let me know. It shouldn't be too long, he is in poor health. Save my order for me. 

    Note to ebay: I want the items, I have the money, HOW DO I PAY?es

    @mr.gizmo! 

     

    The sad fact remains that it's impossible for your seller to ship to you, and 30 days after the last estimated delivery date you'll lose your coverage under eBay's Money Back Guarantee. EBay can't override Japan's restrictions, and they won't be lifted in time for you to retain MBG coverage even if tRump dies tomorrow. Your only option is to have the seller cancel the order.

    From today Japan Post is accepting usual EMS shipping to the USA.  Duty is prepaid before shipping and sellers will need to figure out how to charge buyers that 15%.  I'm adding it to my prices and refunding non-USA orders 15% after purchase. You can buy now. Cheers.

    Already know what?

     

    As far as I know - There are no current economic sanctions by the United States against Japan, and Japan has not imposed a $100 export limit on parcels to the U.S.

    Probably can't hold your order that long.

    Tell seller to cancel order.

    If it gets better they can let you know, then reorder.
