Some who have tried to register, have been told they don't need to, or hit a dead end in the website where is doesn't allow the registration to be completed.
Tindie still haven't managed to sort it out.

Feel free to give your politicians hell for this, they deserve it.
Removing the <£15 VAT free imports, at the same time as all the Brexit related issues with customs, ports and shipping was a really dumb move.

Indeed, but you have to admit, the current set of Tories are very consistent in that regard. You know that whatever they do will be immensely stupid, and also give a fair chunk of money to their chums.

On similar subject I hate that they make sales tax so complicated and require sellers to handle taxes for every jurisdiction. They should treat an online store the same as a physical store, you should only need to collect tax for your own jurisdiction. When someone shops online it should be equivalent to if they came to your physical store. In the states there are 10's of thousands of different tax jurisdictions for example, I don't even know how sellers are expected to handle all that. The amount of legwork is just insane. How is it even normally done?

Just in case anybody is interested: I've sent four packages from Australia to the UK this year so far. Two with a value of less than £15, the other two were somewhere between £15 and £135. They have all been delivered now and none of the recipients were charged any taxes/fees by the courier company (they were sent DDU).
