One International Order, Endless Headaches: My Honest Warning
Thinking of selling internationally on Etsy? Hold up, friend—let's talk first.

I’m pulling back the curtain and sharing the real-life headache I faced with my very first international sale (spoiler alert: it was not the dreamy “cha-ching” I hoped for). I’ll walk you through what went wrong, why so many Etsy coaches advise turning off international shipping, and the sneaky downsides most sellers don’t know about until it’s too late. You’ll walk away with: 💸 The real cost of “easy” global shipping ⚠️ My cautionary tale (yep, it’s personal!) 🚫 The top reasons I turned OFF international sales 🛠️ Tips on how to protect your shop and your sanity This episode is for you if you’re just starting out, already swamped with customer messages, or trying to build a business that actually works for your busy life—not one that buries you in stress.
