In this episode, I break down the messy new EU GPSR changes and what they mean for Etsy sellers like you. These new regulations, effective as of December 13th, apply to most non-food consumer goods, including handmade and digital products. Whether you're shipping from the EU or outside it, these changes impact anyone selling to the EU or Northern Ireland. I'll explain what the GPSR is, how it works, and what steps you should take to stay compliant or make decisions about your shop.

Here's what we'll cover:

โ€ข The basics of GPSR and its impact on Etsy sellers.

โ€ข Who needs to comply with these regulations and why.

โ€ข The impracticalities of compliance for small sellers.

โ€ข Required listing details for GPSR compliance and their challenges.

โ€ข The risks of non-compliance, including fines and account suspensions.

โ€ข Exemptions and solutions for Etsy sellers.

โ€ข Specific issues for digital product sellers.

โ€ข How to update your shipping settings or discontinue sales to the EU and Northern Ireland.

โ€ข My take on the challenges and evolving nature of this regulation.
