Hello,

Recently I made a sale on eBay for an item valued at $200. I had shipped out the item the next morning (April 27th 2026). The item was supposed to arrive between April 29th - May 11th 2026. It arrived at a facility the same night. From April 28th to May 7th 2026 it said that “your package is pending release from a government agency. Once they release it, your package will be on its way.”

No updates had followed at all. I reached out to UPS who told me that the last scan of it was on May 21st 2026 and that it was still in the province it was sent from, however that scan was not reflected on the tracking page. I have opened an investigation with UPS regarding this.

UPS investigation said the following “Returning to Sender
A Government Agency requires additional information or documents. Awaiting information from the customer. / The package will be returned to the sender.”

I had sent out the shipping label and shipping form with the item and never once heard about anything additional being needed from EBay for UPS.

What are my next steps?

Does anybody know what exactly could be going on with this?

I was at Costco the other day when I noticed an older man with an open pack of blueberries. He proceeded to eat them for a few minutes then put them back onto a random shelf like nothing happened. What is wrong with these people and how do they just do this and act like it’s not a big deal. Is entitlement and the understanding Costco just tosses the product out afterwards causing people to act like this?
