    As much as it subjectively seems unfair, objectively the laws were created for a reason. If you have a problem with the law, change it, don't fight it.

    Doesn't seem fair for the seller. They lose their stock and their money, because it was legitimately confiscated by customs, rather than it being lost in the mail or not sent by the seller. I hope this was before you knew that customs would confiscate Megatron, otherwise claiming a refund may constitute fraud.
    Noted Griffin, shush from now on about the issue.

    Regarding the parcel, people have been talking so much about "it" being confiscated but now one knew whether it was really true so I just tried my luck to order it anyway (If they took Megs, they should at least send me my RT Ultra Magnus and Rumble/Frenzy headphones).

    Until now I have received no letter or whatsoever from any authority and the only letter I got was from AustPost asking if I received the parcel, so there's no prove as to where the parcel really is (apart from the parcel tracking status on website itself). Plus I called and emailed customs like 2-3 times and they even told me if I had a parcel seized, a letter will be sent to me in 5-10 business days. (It's been 2 MONTHS since)

    Paypal probably refunded me because the seller refused to communicate with me anyway, it's like they have repetitive cases like this and they can't seem to be bothered. And I'm guessing they can claim insurance for loss of parcel on their end as well. I emailed them before to ask if they had problems about sending MP-05 to Australia, they said probably not, so I think they also wanted to take a chance to make the sale.
