The Fed 1c #94913 was "liquidated"...

Hello,I had purchased that Fed some days ago in USA. And I received yesterday a message from ebay saying it had been "liquidated".
It's not the first time that such a thing happens. Vlad knows that too.
But, in that precise case, this Fed was made in 1939, in Kharkiv, which is in Ukraine, as everybody knows. More of all, it is still engraved with YCCP, Y for Ukraine, of course. So I don't understand why the US restrictive decrets were applied.

I was (or will be) reimbursed. But I wonder about the reason of this liquidation. Who took that decision? Ebay? The US administration? And this 1c was the last known, for the moment.
All that is grotesque.

Hi Jacques, yes it also happened to my prewar Smena, it is Ebay's global shipping that is doing that then selling it to a liquidator seller. It will show up on ebay in a few weeks. If you see it listed again I can help you but it and resend it via UPS.

Anything with keywords soviet ussr Russian is being intercepted and liquidated this way by eBay, it doesn't even reach US customs it's a preventative measure by the company to avoid liabilities for any sanctions

Thanks, Vlad. I have asked ebay about a direct repurchase (with the explanation of their mistake), but I doubt they will accept.If it is relisted, I will call you for help...

Amitié. Jacques.

I'm surprised—what does “liquidated” mean? Can't you buy Soviet cameras from the U.S. on eBay from Europe? Who comes up with such nonsense?

liquidated means they sell it to someone for cheap to resell in bulk and claim their insurance to get the funds back or something of sorts.. they are blocking anything soviet/russian to be moving between US and any other country in each direction.

That sounds weird...

that's exactly what happened to my pre-war Smena, I ended up buying from another seller and selling to my buyer directly 🤣

Has anyone experience how it goes inside Europe? Is this only between US and Europe? Just checked ebay.de and there is a lot of FSU-cameras for sale!

Best regards,

It's only between US and other countries. If this Fed had been declared from "Ukraine" rather than "russian federation" by the seller, it would be here now...
