concretedogI'm going to have to close my @tindie store. I get occasional orders to the US but atm it just takes ages to find the new tariff stuff the mail service needs and I have to pay the trumpian tarrifs this end... I have no option to increase prices just for US customers... and it's all just a bit naff. For the few UK sales I have I might just go ebay as it incurs no fees... or perhaps I need to launch a UK open source hardware market... Put my tindie shop on vacation mode for a month... #ponders
Andrew Lewis Workshop@concretedog @tindie I feel your pain.
Chris Burton@concretedog @tindie do you only sell to the USA on Tindie? If not you could exclude USA in the shipping settings (that's what I do with the EU since GPSR).
RC2014@concretedog @tindie That's sad to read, but not completely surprising. I'm still baffled why Tindie can't allow for tax to be charged based on the destination country.
kianryan ☑️🐙🏳️🌈@concretedog @tindie Considering the uniqueness of the UK market WRT tax position, etc, I'm a little surprised we don't have one, even if it's just serving the inter-maker market.
@kianryan strkes me that whilst I am not technically the person to build this... I could be useful in terms of getting something going and visible... might start a few convos... nobody hold their breath though!
Offerman IndustriesHave been pondering too about setting up my own store instead of using the @tindie store: no new functionality for years, no price diversification, no VAT support, no discovery. My impression is that the platform is slowly dying.
Sven@concretedog have you looked into lectronz? I only know it from the consumer side (where their big benefit over tindie is that they handle EU VAT) though
@HeNeArXn I haven't but I see that it's cool. A lot of people added their stock there. It seems like its more for EU based people slightly but I should check it out.
