<p>[QUOTE="Hiddendragon, post: 4505942, member: 25270"]I don't think anyone has talked about this here yet. I sell world coins on eBay, and all of a sudden in the past few days I've started to get envelopes returned to me with big yellow stickers on them saying "Mail service suspended. Return to sender." Apparently the USPS has stopped shipping to many countries temporarily because of COVID-19. I haven't seen this in the news anywhere but if you search for it there is an article about it on their site. Most of what I've had sent back so far was originally mailed in early April, so who knows how much more I might be getting back. The packages returned so far were sent to Chile, Israel and Bahrain. Strangely, Israel is not on the list of restricted countries. I feel like I might need to restrict sales to the U.S. and Canada for awhile, which is a shame since I do sell a lot of coins overseas. Of course Paypal no longer refunds fees when a seller refunds a buyer, so I'm out that money. </p><p><br /></p><p>Here's the link from USPS. <a href="https://about.usps.com/newsroom/service-alerts/international/welcome.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://about.usps.com/newsroom/service-alerts/international/welcome.htm" rel="nofollow">https://about.usps.com/newsroom/service-alerts/international/welcome.htm</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
