@devon@ebayWe ask eBay to eliminate at least temporarily those limits on shipping charges. There is a possibility of tariffs anywhere and eBay is not handing these presently. Even if global shipping rolls out to .CA this is still going to force people not using the global shipping to have to cancel sales. I can't increase prices to cover tariffs because that would hurt non-US sales. The only other way to handle this is via complex splits between platforms or via manually editing each individual shipping cost for each listing which is time consuming but probably best way right now.What eBay is promising is futures. It's pie in the sky for me right now. eBay buyers from the US are cancelling because the way eBay buyers shop is by price (unlike on Etsy where it's more by uniqueness and where I have most sale nowadays.)eBay please allow flexibility on shipping cost. Lift those restrictions on how much I want to charge. I'm not Amazon and I don't sell on Amazon. So eBay shouldn't try to be Amazon.It's disappointed buyers that is the problem. If buyer sees higher price, won't place order. But some buyers are willing to pay the price for tariffs. It's less often the case on eBay than Etsy, but it still happens. Every sale is good for eBay as well. So why not acting now.Thanks.
