This is a static copy of In the Rose Garden, which existed as the center of the western Utena fandom for years. Enjoy. :)
PayPal.com (I hate this company ) got to issue two bank checks on my name (408 $) and the name of my friend (109$).
But they are sending it only to US-residents.
May I give them Your home adres (but the letter from PayPal with the check (You may open it, if You want ) will came within few days on my name and the name of my friend) and ask You to re-send this letters by airmail to my postal adres abroad and overseas?
You'll be very helpfull if so...

...and no one? :,-(

I don't think its that people don't want to help you, its just that the mail service is
1. Unreliable
2. Dangerous if sending money in checks (I know this all too well. )
IDK, that's my take on it...

I've asked just to re-send me one letter , containing my check on my name.
Of course, I've not asked anyone to take any responsibility for the money.

If I had a choice...
Try living in my country, where opening personal bank account abroad is a crime (I am not joking) and when PayPal (and You MUST use this system with no exeptions- this is eBay policy) is treating You like a "second sort"
(to tell the truth it's connected to local bank laws , not only to PayPal company policy).
Than get You fairly collected ballance blocked with only possibility to withdraw it on check.
After that it will become more clearly.

Oh, Realy?
Look above.
Besides that: dangerous for who?
I am the only person taking a risk and have not asked anyone to take responsibility.
Besides above: only person with my First and Last name (not so familar ) and ID can get this sum from a bank.
And besides above again:
I have used USPS hundred times, including 19ct. artifacts and cash recieving and sendind.
Can't say using of USPS is dangerous somehow.
I am satisfied with the service.
But, may be it is just personal impression...
Anyway, Jesus Saves (sure of it!) and after a hard search (9 phone calls to USA and few hours of speaking with 9 different agents telling mutually exclusive things) , I've found a kind and professional person (God bless her!) within PayPal itself, who took responcibility and gived me some real help.
And now this local problem with ballance is partly decided. That makes me a little bit

Listen, I'm not saying this to be like "oh look how bad we have it" I'm just telling you people aren't volunteering themselves because of the risk.
And when you say "I am the only person taking a risk and have not asked anyone to take responsibility," well, that's what we're worried about because we don't want you to lose your money.
USPS, as reliable as it may be for a lot of things, comes with risks. I have had checks AND money never arrive where I sent it, so please don't treat me like I'm making this up just to scare you.

So glad that someone could help you!
It would suck to have this virtual check but be completely unable to cash it. I can only imagine, I'd be really pissed off!

Yea, right, especially when You've bought original 18 ct. Japanese scroll in perfect condition by the painter only known work of whom in Europe is in London British Museum collection during last seconds of auction in competition with 7 other buyers (seems to be knowing right things desposition) and can't pay to a seller in Japan, who seems do not knowing this item's real value and is ready to put it on a new auction...
The problem was not of greedy geting cash so, as You can see now.
God Bless:
1) This PayPal female agent, who took personal responcibility and have released my ballance for this payment.I've talked to 9 agents before her with "dead end" (no release and no withdraw in any conditions possible for me."Nothing personal, sir. Just take it as expirience... " I am adding: "... and forget about Your money") result . Knowing our talk with God-blessed agent being saving, asked her boss to give her increase, cause she had restored "good face" of the whole corporation.
2) Seller-san's whole month of japanese patience.
