EPR the final nail in the coffin ?
Summary: grumpyoldposter expressed frustration about the necessity to upload numbers to comply with EPR regulations for sales to the EU, highlighting the difficulty for small sellers due to fees and complexity. ptbequipe agreed, mentioning the significant costs and challenges, and stated a preference to focus on their own website instead, suggesting it will affect many small businesses. Both participants see this as a detrimental move for small sellers, potentially favoring larger companies.
So seems we need to upload numbers now to stay compliant with EPR otherwise no more sales to EU
Yet another hoop to jump through yet this one is not likely to happen for me
Seems you need to pay a fee per country to be able to sell there..
Yet another way to shut down SME's it would seem
Hope ebay has a plan for this one using GSP otherwise cannot see nobody selling owt to nowt..
How is a small seller expected to deal with this ? ridiculous!
Looks like it over folks unless i am missing something.
good news for the big boys looks like they have finally finished off the small seller for good this time.
Say goodnight to the folks Gracey and thanks for the fish.

·3 weeks agoI've just received detail on this this morning from eBay, its going to be very costly and a potential minefield in what is already a very expensive market place. I'll be happy to give the EU a miss, its hardly likely to make much of an impression in sales for me. My brand has been going long enough, I'll now start to look towards going website driven, and yes these challenges will still be there I'm sure, but they will be for me to deal with in my own way, and not being dictated to by this particular market place. This is going to have a huge impact to the EU, with so many small businesses offering supply out there. Sad times
