I’m being INVESTIGATED!
 

I can’t get over this! I want to purchase a female Cuban boa and sent the money through PayPal goods and services. I get an email saying there is a hold on this transaction to “comply with government regulations.” ALL BECAUSE I PUT “0.1 CUBAN BOA” in the notes. Like I and/or the seller are terrorists. I am not kidding!

I’m using Flickr. I don’t know why it’s not working here. It worked on BP.net

OMG ... I got it to work!

I'm guessing "Cuban" flagged. Sorry you have to deal with this.

Gee, I don't know why anyone would consider it a paranoid conspiracy theory when someone who claim they fear the government is looking over their shoulder 24/7...... ;)

Usually does, should of used the Latin name and they dont think you are a terrorist it just due to the embargo that was lifted

You ? Investigated? You must explain when we talk again.

Cancel the purchase and do it over without using the word Cuban. I once had a shipment of Iranian newts stopped at the senders post office. When they were reshipped as Neurergus kaisieri they went through no problem.

Everyone needs to use scientific names for all shipments. I couldn’t cancel and resend. The funds weren’t released for 3 days.

Oh geez. Now I can't remember what my transaction was called for my recently purchased snake, but it did not include the latin name. Transaction was for an Elaphe schrenckii aka Russian rat snake.

It’s hard to keep track... are we friends with Russia? Lol. (Very mild political humor)
