What the **bleep** is this crap !!
I purchased a 2 toy model's that need to be assembled from ***removed***.
Then I receive this email upon payment.
This is the item purchased. ***removed***
Is this because it is a "JEEP Willys MB 4x4 Truck" or the "Israeli Paratroopers".
I think I know what it is, but what do the other users of this forum think ??
The link that Paypal provides to : "For more information, see Government regulations and policies." is a dead link.
Like they make it so hard to look anything up on their site
HERE IS THE E-MAIL
Your payment to ***removed***
Industries on Nov 5, 2014 is pending
We’ve placed a temporary pending status on this transaction.

Did you get any resolution to this issue? I had not heard of this until today when a payment I sent to a company that I have had long dealings with was 'flagged pending due to Government regulations and policies". But the link to said regs and policies doesn't lead to anything useful.
