Good evening, I don't know if you notice it or it's my perception, but
at the end of the month and the days of March, we are noticing that the orders
are much lower in amounts, than lately, and I wonder if the situation in Russia
and Ukraine, It will have something to do with, and if you think that it will
affect us sellers, this armed conflict. Let's hope this ends very soon.

It could be for any number of reasons, but there have been moments over the past
20 years when I observed what I call "Deer in the headlights" behavior.

It would explain the decrease in orders going to or from Russia or Ukraine.
I did notice that my cart, for a store in Russia, now shows no shipping method
available.
I also had a cart on Etsy, with a few items shipping from Russia, and one from
Ukraine, and they are now gone. I see other items I had been looking at, on
Etsy, showing significantly reduced prices (and they were listed in US dollars
to start with), and are showing the original price crossed out with the new price
as a sale. But they all come with a warning that it may take way longer than
normal to get the items.

The neighbor cats pee on my back deck, and they scratch up the foam mat if I
leave it out. They also fight over my back deck.
Some cats are good beings, some are not, just like humans.

With the correct punctuation you can use “had” 11 times in a row and be correct.
I remember Big Bang characters taking about this.

I do not really know if ebay did anything, but I will not ship to Russia. Luckily
ebay makes an opt-out for countries available. Also, I do not see that there
would be a problem cancelling orders until this situation is resolved.

This is one of the good things about bricklink. Sellers can choose not to sell
to individual countries, it is their choice. Unless there are USA government
imposed sanctions that the USA based company bricklink need to follow it should
be down to personal choice.

Of course it is also personal choice for buyers not to buy from sellers in specific
countries or other sellers that also sell to that country (or worldwide).
