comrades, this is a first for me.
A buyer through the 'bay successfully bid on a Proof ASE. Before the auction ended I was emailed by this person if I was willing to send to the UK, postage adjusted. I said OK. (Probably my first mistake.) Payment was fast and confirmed. Item was sent via USPS and was returned to me with two form letters and highlighted in yellow was item #10. "Sender or recipient name matches a denied party/entity who may not send or receive exports. RECIPIENT AND SENDER (AND SENDER was penned in) NAME MUST BE IN ENGLISH...AND ADDRESS (FIRST AND LAST NAME)." This notice is from the Office of Foreign Assets Control.
The person is named after a well known Prophet. My name isn't exactly a common American name.
He has over a 100 feedbacks. No problems. And seems to buy a lot of proof ASE's.
Buried in the letter's verbiage is an un-highlighted paragraph that states I MAY be eligible for a refund.
Suggestions?

2) Issue a refund minus any shipping and other costs you incurred.
3) Be glad that the UK government errs in the direction of public safety.
4) Your name may be in a database now.

Thanks.
I may be banned in Britain now. And I go there a lot.

When gold and silver move together, it signals the coming end of fiat money.

Go no further than that "BIG RED FLAGS" flying already.
