How do I run my US Etsy shop while shipping orders from the UK temporarily?
AAnonymous
• • No answers yet I run a US-based Etsy shop selling small handmade paper items, and I’m considering living in the UK for about a month while keeping my shop open.
If I fulfill orders from the UK during that time, can I simply update my shipping profiles and listing origin/processing details to reflect a temporary UK dispatch location, or would I need to change anything more significant in my shop settings? I’m also trying to understand how this affects shipping costs and tracking for US customers.
Alternatively, if I put my shop on vacation mode for 4–5 weeks, does that typically hurt search visibility or sales momentum when I reopen, and do customers usually come back after a break?
