i had the same question, how much money did you make after all that work??
the only issue is that it won’t be shipped within your original handling time. i’ve had this issue before as well. someone didn’t pay before we left for a trip and the handling time on that item was 1 day when they bought it, so it’s 1 day when they paid too! i send a message a few days before they leave and say ‘we’re going out of town, i can ship before we leave, if not it will be after X date” they usually pay right away. but if not, i say just leave it at home if you don’t mind 1 ding on your shipping.
all this being said…
you could call ebay and plead ignorance that you didn’t know how local pickup worked. which sounds like it’s true, so no fib there. just see if they can lift the suspension.what ebay wants to happen—
you list a local pickup item. person purchases it through Buy Now (or auction). person never has to pay right away through Local Pickup listings, so it remains unpaid. transaction has been started through ebay (they get their final value fees). then you arrange pick up w/ your address and phone number. buyer picks up, and has either paid you through paypal or pays in cash. you mark as “shipped” and “paid”.what you did–
buyer wants your local pick up item. you agree and give your address. you end listing and have essentially sold it offline using ebay like craigslist. they dont like it, you used ebay to advertise and sell an item and you didn’t pay them for that.yep, you sold something ‘through’ ebay but not directly and that is a violation in which they can suspend you. you basically skirted all ebay fees by ending it and not having him buy it on ebay. he could still pay cash, but ebay wants their final value fees.
you can insure 1st class international packages through ShipSaver (ebay 3rd party app here). that’s what i use for high dollar int’l that’s not going GSP.
when you say ‘top rated CS rep’ do you mean an anchor store rep?
so those 6 issues were your fault, meaning you have 6 defects?glad to hear you worked it out. yes that’s clearly buyers remorse over color.
good work!call USPS 800 number again and use the prompts to talk to someone human. they will let you know if you can make a claim or get more info on the tracking. they often have more info than the consumer website will show you. let us know what happens.
we have one that is almost identical to this one–

make sure you only use Distilled water in it or it will clog up with minerals from your tap water. it’s about 80 cents a gallon at the grocery store and lasts a long time.what, that is crazy. i have never heard that. so who do you call, the postmaster? and ask for the GPS coordinates? that would be amazing, really.
you can throw it in the wash and that might get rid of it. people call it ‘devil’s dust’ it happens in shoes too. it’s the old foam rubber (or something) lining discintigrating.
i hate to say it, but you could call again. do you have an anchor store? i find the anchor store reps to be very helpful.
my favorites are–
we sold a lamp to the Mad Men set designer and they used it in the show. see it here–
http://www.scavengerlife.com/2013/05/ebay-scavengers-episode-19-whats.htmlwe often get several orders of shoes or bags at once from Michael Kors accessory/shoe designer Richard Sinnott.
we sold some vintage army duffles to a relative of Ralph Lauren who is also a designer.
Also sold some art to some famous-y people in LA. (one was Bridget Fonda)
i used google. here is my search to compare. so similar, yet i see nothing like what you found. so weird!!
