Regular readers may recall my anxiety about a package sent to Germany that had not been received. Well, I am ECSTATIC to announce the package arrived! I am sooo happy. The buyer is happy. We would be doing Snoopy Happy Dances if there weren't miles of land and sea between us.
Huzza hooray for the postal systems, U.S. and German that got that package to its new home.
Whew!

eBay and International Sale (Was United States Postal Service Blip)
Frequent PhillyCollector readers might recall my investigation of a package sent overseas. I had to find out if the item had left the U.S. so I had to go to the post office branch I used. The postal worker there sent me to our main post office.
Visit to the Main Post Office (30th and Chestnut Streets)
I spoke with a United States postal service supervisor. He informed me that no package takes a month to leave the U.S. If there were a problem with the mailing address or if the postage were insufficient, the package would return to me, the shipper. I do not have the package. I did not receive it back so it must be in Germany. The U.S. postal service cannot track the path of packages outside the U.S.
I informed the buyer of this statement. She responded that only here in the U.S. can the item be checked. There is no similar system in Germany seems to be the gist of her response.
So I now seek information about Customs in Germany. Is there a central location?
The problem is that the order went through eBay. The buyer has a time limit on when she can get her money back from PayPal. I have to check my "rights," as well. This being eBay 2011, I doubt I have any. But I will check and write again.

Reconnecting with eBay: A Prodigal Seller Returns
Over the weekend, I submitted some items on eBay. Yes, I did.
One set has a bid -- whoo hooo! -- and that's good to see. Someone suggested I use eBay and I thought, hey, maybe I should. So they held my money until the buyer gave them feedback last time I used them. So they get me with fees on entry, when the item is sold, at the end of the month, and with PayPal. The remains from that financial gouging will leave me with something more than the nothing I had before. Plus I will have more space. Just don't think of the fees as removal of flesh closest to my heart, lol. Pretend I just didn't get as much as I did.
Oh, the items I have for sale? A set of Francie outfits, the Happy Family female Neighbor and her toddler, and three My Scene Rebel Style dolls (Chelsea, Madison, and Nolee). You can see the dolls here:

Spring Cleaning ... hmmm.
