    Pearls from Scottish river Tay

    Natural pearls restricted? Ebay cancelled my shipment.

    Natural pearls restricted? Ebay cancelled my shipment.

    Totally, I already have the refund straight from ebay/paypal. What happened was legit. I don’t think I clarified enough. International sellers who don’t want the hassel of shipping to the US can use eBay’s global shipping where you mail your item to them and they send it across the world...

    Thank you! Funnily, when I started this thread today I thought two other things were showing up in my home mailbox and they didn’t. Guess it’s a delayed palooza ;)

    My Pearl-a-palooza

    Mississippi river pearls?

    Thank you! I will probably get both the 40 and the 30 until I see as it can’t hurt to have extra around IMO. By the way the Golden strand I posted today was done with your gold BS thread. Worked perfect
