Why hasn't eBay added the Gulf of America to the list of US possessions that you can choose to exclude from your shipping preferences yet?

The Gulf of Mexico is not owned by any single entity. It is bordered by several countries, primarily the United States, Mexico, and Cuba. Each country has jurisdiction over its territorial waters, typically extending 12 nautical miles from its coastline.

This is due to an annual increase in system activity experienced during this period, which has caused processing delays in the renaming.

I refuse to ship there on the basis that fish have no pockets, and thus no wallets.

I'm pretty sure whoever names it, owns it.  Or at least that's what some people think.

[hartungcards]

You would think that would have occurred to me.

What will happen to me if I refuse to call it the "Gulf Of America"?

I think I have been waiting years to give that back to you. LOL. You make me smile!

You appear to be very bored today if you needed to post this.

The Gulf of Mexico is a body of water.

You appear to be very bored today if you needed to point that out to me.

[hartungcards]

Well I'll be, I guess I need a new globe.

All of your insurance claims will be denied.  And you may be indicted.

I hope they don’t. How will people sell Estandartes del Club de Leones if they do?
