BREXIT has introduced some big complications for small businesses.
The big new requirement is that non-UK vendors have to set up accounts with UK Customs and collect VAT for all orders under a certain amount, then pay those VAT periodically. I am not prepared to do that.
This is why you see the minimum order amount with some sites, and I will likely start doing the same.
My short-term fix was to just stop shipping to the UK. I will try to get some better software updates done soon.

I was in the market for a pair of Lo-Z Retro boards with mounted op-amps and I’m disappointed to discover yet another problem with our government’s recent policies. I fully understand your stance, but I wondered if Ebay offers any kind of solution for this? I’ve recently bought a couple of overseas items where they have handled the VAT. I don’t know much about the selling side of Ebay and there may be other reasons why you wouldn’t want to use them.
