Why wasn't there more publicity about this much earlier? @jreynoldsMP @biztradegovuk @Etsy why are you so woefully unprepared? Why weren't you communicating with sellers sooner? Why haven't you provided the tools sellers need to comply with #GPSR in Northern Ireland?

Hang on @Etsy states they will provide "an update by 31st Dec" re: split delivery for NI/GB ๐Ÿ™„ This is too late as #gpsr is ALREADY in force. Offering for sale is a breach, so Non-EU sellers with no rep, face a choice 1) Close their shop or 2) Take the risk #etsysellers

Online marketplace Etsy says it intends to follow other e-commerce sites by making it easier for sellers in Great Britain to stop selling to Northern Ireland. bbc.in/3ZCPT8e

Well thatโ€™s itโ€ฆ I am officially closing due to the new GPSR regulations. With 75% off my business coming from the EU, there is no point trying to continue. 8 years over in the space of 2 weeks. Thank you Labour government for giving us the heads up and information we needed LOL

Sadly, whilst @etsy sellers await "the announcement by 31st" they are still faced with two choices. 1) Close up shop or 2) Potentially breach GPSR. We need action and FAST! #gpsr #EtsySeller #etsy

Etsy says itโ€™s going to follow other platforms & allow sellers to separate GB & NI as shipping destinations so that GB-only sellers wonโ€™t have to comply with new GPSR rules.

@Etsy when will you be putting Northern Ireland in its own shipping profile, this is utterly embarrassing having to cancel orders for people trying to comply with the new GPSR rules in the UK? #gpsr

Thank you @Etsy for finally listening to your sellers. However, sneaking an amendment to the #gpsr article in the Handbook, on 13th Dec - really? Sellers urgently need split delivery settings NOW! Waiting until 31st Dec for "an update" is too long. @fsb_policy @e_nation #etsy

To all small and micro businesses happy #GPSR day. For all my fellow #Etsy businesses that continue to sell to England Scotland &Wales @ therefore break EU rules by doing so as we also have to offer our goods to NI, may good fortune be with you. #BrexitBrokeBritain

They have said they have no plans to make any updates to help sellers continue selling to the rest of the UK (minus NI). This issue also applies to anyone on @Etsy who wants to continue selling to the UK. #gpsr #etsyseller @britainsmallbiz @fsb_policy @Channel4News

On the advice of @Etsy Support and the Etsy Handbook - I have sought legal advice about shipping to NI. Thank you @BabsJamiesonLaw and @PRdispatch for your GPSR webinar at 10am today (12th Dec) I asked if Etsy's advice of simply cancelling NI orders was sound advice #gpsr

Please listen to the 100's of sellers who are posting in your forums @Etsy This affects EVERY seller, outside of the EU, who wants to sell to the UK For UK sellers, we can't comply with YOUR terms of use UNLESS we spend 100s of euros on an EU rep for #GPSR

@EcommerceBytes are you aware of how the EU's new #GPSR will affect @Etsy sellers? This doesn't just affect UK sellers, but everyone who wants to sell to the UK and EU.

Is #GPSR not a barrier? Is #GPSR not a concern for @allianceparty

There is also a specific problem for UK @Etsy sellers: Etsy need to separate Northern Ireland shipping profile from rest of UK. But Etsy are refusing to do it. So sellers are having to close their etsy shops or risk huge fines. #GPSR @jgsilverman
