Sorry to hear about your troubles with the cell phone. I would contact PayPal and/or your credit card that was used. See if they can help you with this matter.

This is a British problem. We have no such nonsense. The UK even charges full European postage rate to send a letter from Dublin to Belfast. These two places are 100 km distant. If you put on local postage the letter will take two weeks or more to reach its destination. I can walk from Dublin to Belfast at least three times in the time. However, having said that there are some very stringent international rules about what you can and cannot send by air mail. The problem is the battery.

We where told we had to remove the battery, but then after removing the battery we where told it is illegal to send mobile phones from the UK to China. Even without the battery, guess they are happy to sell stuff here, but it is illegal to sell anything back. I guess it's a good way to keep the money going in one direction.

On my way to Cuenca Ecuador, I left my old i Phone in Bogota Colombia. I wanted to ask my landlord to ship it to me in Lima Peru. But DHL said it was illegal to ship a phone into Peru. By the time I moved to Ecuador, the landlord decided to keep the phone. All subsequent communications have not had any progress in getting the phone returned. So just a word to the wise.

There are some sad people wandering around, luckily like Jim Rohn said there aren't that many you don't bump into them very often. They just come around every now and again.
