| I offer international shipping since I first opened my store. I haven’t gotten
one single international buyer yet. What’s wrong?

Buying from abroad is more risky and more expensive. It really needs to be worth
it.
So, what do you have that non-US buyers couldn’t find from sellers who are nearer
to them or which would be worth added taxes, shipping charges, and risks?

$15 minimum postage + VAT + customs + taxes + broker fees + ...
To be worth it, the prices in your shop would have to be that much lower than
the same item located in their region/country.

| I think there is a lot more US buyers buying from Europe than the opposite for
that reason.
Minimum shipping to the USA is less than 6 dollars for me.

Also, the US dollar vs other currencies is very strong right now, which makes
US sellers more expensive.

| Honestly, I have only purchased from outside the U.S twice (I've made over
300 orders over the years) and then only because I really needed the parts, and
they were not available anywhere in the U.S., as cost and time and cost of shipping
from foreign countries is really high. I would imagine it is the same with others
buying from the U.S.
