I’ve noticed an exceptional increase in American customers believing the tariff propaganda coming out of the U.S.
It’s caused a high number of people who place orders with me to ask for a refund, for fear that they’ll pay tariffs. This has been over the past 2 weeks.
I make it as clear as possible on my shop that I pay broker fees and properly import my products into the U.S. so they won’t face tariffs. I wonder if Etsy is now warning customers when they buy from Canadians? Whatever it is, it’s hurting my buisness.
Ugh. #BrittBuilds3D
