Royal Mail PDDP service for USA

[lindisfarne2]

Could anyone tell me if they have managed to find a way to add Royal Mail PDDP as a postal service to their listings. All my listings are showing this blue  banner for US buyers ," Due to US customs policies, the buyer of this item will need to pay import fees to the postal courier prior to delivery". This is simply not true as most of my  items are exempt and I send everything via RM PDDP service so I pay the tariff not the customer if it is applicable. All other sites I sell on allow me to add this service and my sales to the US have continued. On Ebay I have had one sale to the US since the Tariffs were brought in ( previously half my business), hardly surprising if they're being told they have to pay the tariff .

No, but all I did was add the £1.50 RM processing fee to my Custom International Postage and left it alone. While things are so up in the air - legal challenges to the tariffs for example - I just figured any US buyers could have a 10% discount (I pay the tariff with Royal Mail PDDP) or that I would switch to EVRI (buyer pays the tariff before it leaves the UK). Not a single sale to the States but to be fair, I wouldn't be importing right now either especially, as you say, if eBay is scaring them so badly before Halloween!

Also seems like eBay are applying tariff charges to GSP sales to the US in categories that are exempt. 

I think all you can do is mention the exemption in your item listing description.
