Just have patience.
In a few days it will become clearer and wander down to your local post office and they will know the score by then.

The buyer will pay more!

The buyer may choose not to pay more by purchasing from another country.
I frequently decline to purchase when the shipping costs far exceed a reasonable sum. I think this will become more apparent when the internet sales sites start to add in the customs and handling fees as well as using it to add to their own corporate earnings.

"as well as using it to add to their own corporate earnings."
Never a truer word has been said.

"The buyer will pay more!"
The way it looks so far is that I normally list my items at catalogue +15%.
This will stay the same.
However the number of times I do "Clearout at 10%" will be reduced.
Postage costs will increase by 50 cents
This should allow me to cover whatever tariff has to be paid to US Customs.
That is the plan.
Whether it lasts may be another matter.

Just had a wander to our two Post Offices.
One says "Everything Back to Normal". "No extra 50pence handling charge". "No collection of Tariffs".
Second says " Letters No Problem". "Large Letters need Customs Form". "No idea about extra 50pence handling charge or collection of Tariffs"!
I'll wait another couple of days and ask them both again.

I think that was a typo, and should have read at 15% of catalogue.

I have been trying to find out the current Royal Mail situation in regards to items from UK to USA. Confusing seems to sum up the situation.
This link is regarding the Postal deliveries duty paid, not sure how it will work if you don't have internet or cell "phone.
https://www.royalmail.com/business/inter ...
This link outlines the change following the De Minimus changes.
https://www.royalmail.com/usapersonalupd ...
From this latter article I quote,
"What duties will apply to goods? For goods (or gifts over $100), shipped via Royal Mail PDDP services, duties will be calculated according to the country tariff for the item’s country of origin (where an item was made"
Does this mean that in the case of sending stamps from many countries, that each country would need to be named on the customs form?
If I was confused before I'm certainly very befuddled now, time for a rest in a darkened room.
