...your order to be shipped."

Ok, fine I can wait till the seller is off of vacation.

"The seller's store is closed for vacation. Check back later. You can also contact the seller and ask to be notified when they return."

I tried to contact the seller;

"Unfortunately due to the high volume of messages this seller receives, they are unable to respond to your specific question right now. We suggest reviewing the item again to see if your answer is in the seller's listing. The seller is away until Mar 18, 2021. Add this item to your watchlist to keep track of it. "

The return from vacation date has changed a couple times since early Jan 2021.

All I want to do is purchase an item listed. Isn't ebay wonderful?

    Maybe the seller took a permanent vacation?

    Red flag. Move on.

    Eventually the seller will run out of "vacation" money and will need yours. Wait it out!

    Maybe he's taking a dirt nap.

    If you really want it, set a calendar notification for March 18, and try to purchase it then. In the meantime, go on with the rest of your life. Why spend negative energy on something you can't control?

    I had surgery a couple of years ago and put my store on vacation. I wasn't feeling up to dealing with packing stuff when the vacation time was up, so I extended it. Sh*t happens.

    Based on your handle, I understand your frustration.

    Not if they let an azzhat sell stuff there.
    They probably need to upgrade their azzhat filter

    The seller was courteous enough to post the information. Many other sellers (on EBay AND elsewhere) might not have bothered.

    And you expect us to UNDERSTAND YOUR PROBLEMS.

    No, not really. The best I can do is explain things, understanding (or not) is up to you. :#

    I was, of course, kidding.

    It is suspiciously, but in a nice way worded, as if the seller might have blocked you ???

    In this Covid era... I would let it pass.

    It will likely be there when he returns.

    Unless it is a rare variety, then impulsive angst is understandable.

    The message reads like an auto-reply, not a personal message. And if the seller had blocked the OP, I believe it would be obvious form the reply.

    The item that I want is a patch to a unit that was assigned to in Iraq. I had a couple when I was deployed there, but I can not seem to find them in my moves...and it is his LAST ONE according to the listing.

    Yes there could be numerous reasons why the seller is "on vacation", but to update the listing to reflect this puzzling. And not to be able to contact the seller because their box is "full" is frustrating as well. He is a well known patch seller, who I have dealt with several times, and I hope that all is well.
