Any increase to first class international is another nail in the coffin for international sales…
I quit doing international sales a long time ago when the chinese who purchased my items started to knock them off on ebay at some ridiculously penny price. Did they get around that? sure – they started using freight forwarders. how’d I get around that? went into paypal and refused to accept international credit cards. If I don’t ship internationally why would I accept an international credit card that paypal charges me extra for all the while helping to unemploy myself? Here’s the deal – I need to hang onto my job. I can’t live on anther bowl of rice – I need to make the mortgage payment on the house. Wish you’d address this issue of the chinese killing our jobs on the open format for discussion. Am I losing sales? Yup – lost 6 this month already. I simply request that the buyer pay using the USD thru paypal. They have all declined so far. Not one paid. I don’t care. It means my item doesn’t show up on ebay and undercut me. Let them start from scratch from my picture and hire a carver to create the mold. That’ll take them awhile and their too lazy to do it.
