I am not seeing this. Is it possible you changed your listing format to include international destinations?

Can you show a screenshot?

Oh man am I stressed. I will try to list another item and see what happens. Already contacted hipstamp..if they aren't imposing the embargo, I'll close my ebay store and jump over. None of us want to end up at a loss..

According to ebay guidelines Cuba, N Korea, Syria & Iran are supposed to be embargoed but I just listed Syria with no problem or message.

So, if I read this message, any Iran/Persian stamps won't be allowed after the 26th of june. I have so many to sell!! And every month ebay bills me $100.00 for my store-gee..not for long if they don't contact me-

Here is the actual link, which looks like the same as it's been for years now. No indication of anything new on June 26, 2018.

As is usual, ebay is applying this "embargo" business with wide sweeping implementation without any context, just so their automated bots can control it.

Idiots.

I hate Idiots--do I run? Start the fire? Burn all the material? Just joking, all this time, $800.00+ last three months part time and I work 50+ hours a week-yeah go figure. If all this time I am going to get the 'we don't want your stamps', then I guess I closed down. And I never sell Internationally-never

What percentage of what you sell is Iranian? From the looks of your current sells, it's not the majority. No reason to throw out the baby with the bathwater just because you can't sell Iran/Persia. Sell them on Hipstamps or Delcampe instead - they don't care.

Paypal care though. I saw a note on a seller's Delcampe item page that said Paypal are not processing payments for items originating from Iran, Cuba & North Korea. The seller wasn't in the USA either.

PayPal does care if they know, but I've sold items from those three places via Delcampe and the payments went through Delcampe just fine. I don't think Delcampe reports the item title to PayPal anymore. When you get a payment from Delcampe - you get two emails, one from PayPal and another from Delcampe. The latter has the order information.

I think if you simply use the word 'Persia' ebay will not care. In the past, the ebay software only filtered on the word 'Iran'.

I see that now. For some reason when I tried to click on your ebay store link yesterday I got someone else's listings - ken someone, but thought it was you since they also had Persian stamps for sale on pages. Weird fluke I guess. Hipstamps would work. I'm planning to open one there as well for low-priced BIN cover items as well as stamps I've been hoarding for years.
