Hi Julleen. You need to make your shipping tariffs again, depending how Aussie Post or whoever you ship with are set up it may be a bit of work.

The way my tariffs are set up here in France, as well as other lines and sections, I have one price for the whole of the European Union, and another for "everywhere else".

In order to remove Germany I had to remove the EU, then make a line for every other country except Germany. After doing this I realized that Germany would now be picked up by "everywhere else"... This also has to be removed, and all countries you want to ship to included one at a time, country by country.

It takes a while. If you have several tariffs it will save you time if once you have done this once, you duplicate that one, change the name of it and then the numbers for each country you want to trade with... Have fun

Gosh, so complicated. Yet another function on Etsy which does not work well for the Sellers.

Also make sure you delete your old shipping profile (or any profile that includes EU or Everywhere else) once you are happy with the new one. Otherwise you might accidentally use it if you relist an old listing. You can see which listings are connected to each shipping profile in your listings manager page.

I was able to go into the shipping settings and simply remove the checkbox from Germany under Europe.

Did you have to create a new shipping profile to remove Germany. I am unable to edit my exiting profile shipping

Hi,

Even I want to stop shipping to Germany. Please let me know how you did it, am not able to find shipping settings. I went to shop manager then in settings but i couldn't find shipping settings. Thank You!

where is that function in Settings.   I am in Australia, and I am not aware that that was possible.  Only been on Etsy for 17 years

According to what I have read, US sellers can individually remove/add countries from their delivery profiles. UK sellers have to create a new delivery profile.

[AmoreTreasure]

not exactly.  If your shipping profiles use calculated shipping, you have the ability to easily exclude countries.  I'm in the US and use flat rate shipping profiles so don't have the ability. I believe only the US and Canada have the option to use calculated shipping.

[TheBeardedBee]

Yes, I want to do this too. And remove France while you are at it.

[CatClayShop]

US seller here.

I can unclick Germany on shipping profiles with calculated shipping charges.

But etsy doesn't let me unclick individual countries on profiles with fixed shipping charges.  helllpppp

[ArtDollsbyJD]

@CatClayShop   You would have to add all countries you ship to for fixed.  There is no simple way.

BTW using calculated and fixed is an invitation to problems.  

It's not a good idea to have a mixture.

[CatClayShop]

Thanks so much.

As for mixing calculated & fixed - been doing it this way for years, and never had a problem.

Could you let me know what types of problems I might encounter in the future?
