@toxi@mastodon.thi.ng that’s the reason why I’m not starting a web shop at the moment to sell my eurorack DIY synth kits. I’ll probably have to sell through a distributor and give them part of the profit. The cost per country is too high and would cost me more than I would make if I fully sell my first batch of kits.

    @janvantomme@mastodon.social Yeah, I've been reading countless variations of the same story and it's also part of the reason why I've been delaying the launch of my own shop for months now already (but likely will take the plunge anyhow, at least to aim at Germany and outside EU). I'm still researching concrete responsibilities (and potential liabilities) of becoming a legal representative, but I've also been toying with an idea to set up a ring of trusted friends/partners in other countries to approach this problem from P2P angle, cutting out middlemen, supporting each other, knowing exactly what kind of packaging and (low) volume/issues to expect... (Ps. It's so nice to see you're on Mastodon (again)! 🤩🙌)
