So, America now has an additional Tariff on - just about - all imports from what I am reading.
This WILL apply to items sold/bought on ebay and I assume ebay will be collecting that from USA buyers as of now on checkout as they do now with any applicable Sales Tax.
And of course, ebay will add that 10% tariff to the total Invoice value to calculate their final valuation fees!
Once again ebay will profit at the expense of their customers - both buyers and sellers!
Enough of my rant, has anyone seen any news from ebay regarding these USA tariffs?
I sell mostly secondhand car parts so are my USA buyers - USA would be 20% of my export sales - going to be hit with the 25% tariff on cars and car parts?
Thanks
Simon
PS - that 25% tariff on cars & parts is, in my - experienced - opinion, going to have a HUGE negative impact on the USA auto industry, as the Button tariff plan did to the Australian car industry in the 1990's!

I no longer sell.
However if I did I would not make any assumptions until I see some eBay Announcements.

I needed to return an item to the USA and had to explain to Australia Post what the item was, how much it was worth, am I sending it to a business address, was it worth over $100 USD, (Tariff applies), is it being sent to a business or private address. WHAT THE. Does anybody know how to switch OFF the USA from any further product searches. I wont NO part of this rubbish tariff war.

If you want up to date tariff information, Aus Post can assist if you are using their service as they assisted me today but the information they receive changes almost daily. Goodbye USA

Search for Australia only. You might get some foreigners, but they are supposed to have stock in-country and the location should be shown. Sellers listing on other sites have their prices italicised for Australia, as the prices are only estimates, fluctuating with exchange rates.
Pretty simple.
