We want to delete countries from shipping profles!
As a vintage and antiques seller on Etsy, I work with a wide range of item sizes and weights — which means I have to create multiple shipping profiles. I wanted to exclude France from my shipping destinations for legal and administrative reasons. Sounds simple? Not on Etsy. Etsy refuses to provide sellers with a basic tool: the ability to block certain countries. The only way to exclude France is to manually input ALL other countries into each shipping profile - in my case, that’s about 190 countries × 12 profiles. Insane? Yes. But that's Etsy's policy. Now, Etsy is threatening to send seller data to French tax authorities, while not allowing us to remove France from our shipping lists. What a way to treat the people who generate your revenue, right? To make matters worse, their support team is deeply untrained. Two agents gave me incorrect instructions on how to remove a country - which wasted my time. Only the third admitted that it’s not even possible. Etsy is making sellers jump through ridiculous hoops instead of offering reasonable, professional tools. Disappointing and frustrating.
