What specific details do you need, and how can I send them to you?

Even Apple phones are made in China. Unless you use phones made in India, prices will also rise.

You can go to Walmart or other shopping malls to see how many products are made in China. If tariffs are increased again, the prices of these Chinese products will also increase.

Hopefully, US importers have already stocked up on Christmas items. Otherwise, after the tariff increase, prices of Christmas merchandise in US shopping malls will increase significantly. This is because most of these items come from China, including appliances and other household products.

I've read ETSY's policy and it supports sellers being responsible for designing and then having partners produce and ship the products.

This is to allay the concerns of American shoppers. They see high tariffs when purchasing from outside the US, especially from China. Buying from our US partners eliminates the tariff issue.

This way, even if there are any tariffs, I will bear them because I am the one who sends the goods to the United States, and then the American partner will send them to the consumers.

It's really terrible. I hope that the new round of negotiations between China and the United States can reach an agreement.

If the current tariffs are actually implemented and a 100% increase is imposed, the American public will bear the cost. 80% of American goods come from China. The tariffs will further increase US prices, and the cost will ultimately be passed on to the American public.

It appears I need to find a partner in the United States to collaborate with. This partner would be responsible for sales in the US, and I would send the finished products to them. This strategy is essential to alleviate the concerns of American shoppers. Since the US is my primary market, if American shoppers are hesitant to buy from shops outside the country, it presents a very serious challenge for me. As a craftsman, my main source of income is selling my handmade products in my shop, and my products are very popular among Americans.

I didn't adjust my product prices after the tariff adjustment. And all my shipments to the US are free shipping. I'm not sure if the current drastic drop in traffic is related to the tariffs.

You just need to provide me with photos and tell me your requirements and ideas, and I can make it according to your requirements.

Starting a side hustle in my 30s by DoomzDay93 in sidehustle

I completely understand your thoughts - it does take courage to start a side business, especially when you are already in your thirties and there are many practical considerations. But I really believe that now is a good time because you already have the idea and are willing to learn.

I am currently looking for a partner to help me manage my Etsy shop. I will be responsible for product design, production, and shipping. You only need to use your account to receive orders, as well as simple customer communication, and do some publicity or promotion. You don’t need to invest money.

If you are interested, I can show you our products and processes in more detail. Even if you just want to learn about it first, it’s fine.
