I talked to Alex a few days ago. He's still in Donetsk, sorting it out with eBay since eBay had connected him to some other seller who owes eBay money and they shut down his account as well. My guess is because they are all using westernbid for PayPal and eBay thought it's the same person. So westerbid is sorting things out for him, hopefully he will be back online soon.
He got a notice to go to court end of this month but he is not going because Russian separatists are force-enlisting the men into their ranks on the trains so Alex said let them send the convoy for him, he will not travel by himself.
