@Bright5park @Mastodon Because you need to establish a working relationship with a fulfillment company in the region close to your customers (because almost nobody will pay 30+ EUR for shipping), split your stock between all the regions, register for sales tax in every country you sell to. The overheads would eat any revenue when the total quantity is 1000 units.

@Gargron @Bright5park @Mastodon so very very many times I've been disappointed by things shopping to US only. Vice versa happens too.
It's sort of nice to see an EU-based somethingorother get popular enough stateside that they get sad when they can't get the merch delivered.
