Not a bug but guidance needed
As the Covid 19 crisis spreads, many post offices are unable to offer"normal" postal service, and there are many embargos. Will there be a recommended procedure for sales to an embargoed country, ie should we prepare shipment and wait, or should we cancel and refund?

If you send something to an area where service is suspended, the mail will be held at a location until the suspension is lifted. This could be not good for shipping stamps. If what you send winds up in a mail bag sitting on the floor at the bottom of a stack of mail bags for a couple of months, well you get the picture.
I have a couple of purchases made with sellers outside the US where quarantines have shut down the post offices. The sellers have contacted me, and said that they will hold my purchases until the post offices reopen. I'd rather have the stamps sitting at their place. Communicate with the seller/buyer and handle it as best seen fit for all.
So far I just have one order to worry about and I do not plan to send it until the suspension is lifted. There will be a language gap in communicating with the customer that may be interesting.
Canada Post has, according to some on the Feebay Canada sellers page returned parcels to suspended destinations but nothing has been mentioned about plain old letter mail.
