USPS To Ban International Shipping On Lithium Ion Powered Gadgetry 131

sl4shd0rk writes "Apparently the USPS is enacting a ban on the international shipment of all devices containing Lithium Ion batteries. The ban is expected to lift in January of 2013. It seems like this would drive more business away from the already floundering USPS financial situation. The article focuses on the shipment of items out of the U.S., but doesn't mention whether the same ban will apply to purchasing these items on eBay from overseas sources."

    It passed a unanimous voice vote in the Senate.
    Before that, it was also passed by voice vote in the House and the motion for a roll call vote was denied.
    The law that created this fiasco was passed after midnight on the last legislative day of Congress.
    Our lawmakers just wanted to get the hell out of there.
