That is INSANE!
It's also devised by an American with a $200 import limit and someone who has NO IDEA what buying and selling over borders is about.
I do not lie on custom's forms, nor do I request that a seller fudge the #s for me.............. but asking that customs and duties get paid in order to complete a transaction is such a bad idea I can't stress it enough.................
Do that, and your cancelled transactions, NFB, UPI disputes, trashed ratings etc. will sky rocket.
That would put a stop to using paypal shipping and fast
As long as we can still opt out of paypal shipping, there is always the option of adding in large print at the top of the listing: "We do not use paypal or eBay shipping,"
In time regular buyers will catch on and the newbies won't all be cancelling their purchases with the new revised bill including taxes/duty/handling fees etc.
As a buyer, I would limit my purchases to under $20.
As a seller, my sales to European countries would be over.
My sales to the US will be restricted to items under $200.
I suspect my Canadian sales would increase a little, but that's not worth much to me because my customers are not in Canada.
Horribly BAD IDEA for everyone except the few sellers who sell items which Canadians are currently purchasing from the US.
