That’s a very generous offer Bruce I have no idea how the tariffs will affect packages sent from the USA to Australia but I agree with you that there will surely be revisions and possibly reversals.
I wonder how eBay will treat the tariffs.

WE AT EMOVIEPOSTER.COM<http://EMOVIEPOSTER.COM> HAVE UPDATED OUR NON-U.S. SHIPPING POLICIES TO COMBAT THE INSANE TARIFFS! IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT 4/07/2025 First, some background. As many of you know, for most of the 1980s I spent my days trading stock options on the floor of the Philadelphia Stock Exchange. This included October 20, 1987, when the U.S. Stock Market fell by its greatest percentage loss ever, almost 23% in a single day. So I feel I have qualifications to comment on the current world events that have caused global stock markets to plunge (but not nearly by as much as in 1987). The current events are a "man-made" catastrophe, caused by the actions of one man, adding staggering tariffs, that have now triggered a global trade war. While this is terrible, it is something that can be reversed in a moment, simply by recognizing the mistake of doing so, and canceling the tariffs. AND IT IS BECAUSE I FEEL THIS IS CERTAIN TO HAPPEN (either sooner or later), I MAKE THIS OFFER TO ALL OF OUR NON-U.S. BIDDERS: We already offer all of our bidders an unheard of SIXTEEN WEEKS of "Pay and Hold". This means that you can pay for your purchases and wait up to 16 weeks after you win the first ones to have them shipped. EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY, I WANT ALL NON-U.S. BUYERS TO PUT THEIR PURCHASES ON PAY AND HOLD (unless you have an urgent need to get the items sooner, and then we WILL send them to you, but of course, any tariffs you might incur would be beyond our control. I say this because I feel SO strongly that the tariffs will be gone before 16 weeks are up, and the moment they are you can have your purchases sent (and of course, you can also have them sent at any time in-between). WHAT IF THERE ARE SOMEHOW STILL TARIFFS COME 16 WEEKS FROM NOW? If this is somehow so, we are extending the maximum length of Pay and Hold for non-U.S. customers only to ONE FULL YEAR! Surely this situation will be resolved by then, but if somehow not, I will be open to extending it even further. And as you likely know, we have a giant walk-in vault, and all expensive orders on Pay and Hold are stored there, so security of your purchases is not an issue. And of course I very much hope this is "much ado about nothing" and that the tariffs will go away as quickly as they came, but I want you all to know we are there for you in this way, and we have been in every way for 35 years (and THIS is what makes us so very different from EVERY other auction, poster or otherwise). ________________________________ To unsubscribe from the MoPo-L list, click the following link: https://listserv.american.edu/scripts/wa-american.exe?SUBED1=MoPo-L&A=1 Visit the MoPo Mailing List Web Site at www.filmfan.com ___________________________________________________________________ How to UNSUBSCRIBE from the MoPo Mailing List Send a message addressed to: [email protected] In the BODY of your message type: SIGNOFF MOPO-L The author of this message is solely responsible for its content.
