Limit Etsy Ads to USA only

[AanganofIndia]

I need a solution to limit Etsy Ads to be used only with USA. I ship from USA so I am really hoping there is a solution for this.

It seems like I get a lot of interest from the international market when I advertise, but they never purchase it because volume shipping would cost them almost twice than the product itself.

In my opinion, if Etsy added a way to limit my ads to USA/Canada, it would be beneficial for seller and Etsy.

I talked to the tech team yesterday and their solution was to: Edit shipping profile to only ship to USA and it would limit Ads as well. 

However, I still see in google analytics, ads are being clicked by users from outside the USA.  

Any help would be appreciated.

Your Etsy Ads will only been seen by people in countries you ship to.

Thank you.  I was hoping this was the case! I am noticing an increase in sales since Ive made the change.

Your etsy ads will be seen by people who have their country selected to - ships to USA - they may not be in the USA

I am in the UK, but do this when I am buying to ship directly from USA shops to family and friends in the USA

This totally makes sense.  I'm ok with this as long as shipping to USA is the end result.

Any recent update on this? I want to re-open my shop to ship globally but don't want my ad spend to be wasted on international searches and only advertise within the USA. If anyone has any advice on how to separate advertising from shipping globally would be highly appreciated! 

Thank you guys!

you can't, limit your advertising  to only one country,

your items will be shown, ads and non-ads, according to your shipping settings, and the customers choices

I really wish this was a feature too! I want to ship globally but don’t want to waste ad spend
