I'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
Have 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.
