EU sales suspended on Ebay and Etsy
Increased EU bureaucracy around customs and duty fees has made sales to EU countries too difficult. Tajima1 Miniatures made every effort to comply with the new rules but they continue to add new levels of difficulty and friction. Customs charges are being applied on relatively low value orders, despite the EU rules stating this should not happen below certain thresholds.
This has resulted in a number of EU customers buying items and then refusing to pay the fees upon delivery. This means the items should be returned to us but are in fact just being lost or destroyed! We cannot accept this risk and so we will no longer sell to EU buyers from these platforms.
Tajima1 Miniatures will continue to sell to Scandinavian customers in The EU, where we do not seem to experience such problems.
In any event, buyers should always be aware of applicable local custom fees/duty that may be payable upon delivery.
