Tariffs Tipped the Scale — The Storm Has Arrived | Selling

The storm clouds were visible months ago, but now that tariffs have hit, the scale has tipped. Selling on eBay as a Canadian just isn’t worth it anymore. It’s not only tariffs. It’s the 2–3% of headache customers, chargebacks, returns and poor phone support stacked against sellers. Canada Post threatening strikes every other week. UPS and FedEx wrongfully piling on brokerage fees for returns. To be fair, their Facebook reps were decent — but that’s the exception, not the rule. This past month was the worst yet: U.S. buyers blindsided by tariffs, wriggling out with chargebacks and returns. Sales may still trickle in, but the tide has turned.Honestly? I’m relieved to be done. Free from the drain, and ready to focus elsewhere.
