With the new EU General Product Safety Regulation (GPSR) coming into effect on December 13, we're unsure how to proceed.

Are any of you selling on Amazon to EU customers? How are you planning to comply with these new rules? Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

We got rid of EU sales when the postage became more trouble than it was worth after Brexit.

We’re getting roped into this now because (at the moment) it’s not possible to shut off NI orders from UK sales with Amazon and these new regulations apply to sales there.

It was fairly easy for the few FBA lines we run, but we have over 2000 FBM listings which I have no idea what to do about.

If you only sell in the UK i don't think you need to do anything, do you? From what i understand your orders will just be live in UK but not NI. I think. I've looked on the Amazon forum and it's not easy to understand what exactly you have to do.

This is what I’m hoping, but over on eBay faced with the same rules it’s like the end of the world and they’re going to be hiding non-compliant listings. Fortunately on there it’s easy to remove shipping to NI.
