So I made sales to US today (happy) non-USMCA and buyers sending extra DDP tariffs payment
Summary: itolduandso shares their experience of selling digital items on Etsy, highlighting the ease due to non-refundable policies. They mention doodling a picture and using Chitchats for shipping, contrasting it with the more complicated Stallion process. In a response, marnotom! points out that eBay’s Money Back Guarantee doesn't cover digital goods, but doubts persuading buyers to purchase from a second listing is effective. The discussion centers around navigating refund policies and choosing the right shipping services.
So in case of Etsy, it's easy, I create Digital item, which is non-refundable, and I doodle a picture of DJT and they purchased it (if they download my DJT doodle, no idea, so far positive feedback) and that allows me to pay for the DDP for Chitchats/Stallion.
For Ebay it's difficult because all items are refundable, right, so basically here I would use like Shopify check-out page until Ebay comes with global shipping for Canada.
That allows me to look less foolish and suspicious rather than asking buyers sending me paypal money.
One obsevation with Chitchats, it seems to me the process with entering manufacturing details is easier in Chitchats, Stlalion requires approve, it's going through screens and settings, and creating inventory items and they charge for it, crazy complicated at Stallion to add ad-hoc item to ship with DDP. No thank you - no Stallion - this sucks so badly. Chitchats doesn't ask me to run in circles, they have it all on one page. So I guess I am back with Chitchats more for smaller stuff.

But I think it would be difficult to persuade buyers to purchase from a second listing, particularly if they didn’t read the original one very closely in the first place.
