Last year USA was on the 2nd place on our list , this year is on the 5th place. It is still early in the year to say how things are going to stand, but for now their predictions are not accurate.
You are not paying only 10%. This is a common mistake made here, the new tax is 10% ( in your case) from the whole item price. You are in fact loosing ab 16-17% from your US sales.
Imagine how it’s for authors who pay 30%, they lose 41.3% on each US sale. Would be great if they at least implement option to disable sales to US clients if author wants that. Or at least exclude US sales from support.
@wpgenie that will mean that envato is loosing money
So they will loose authors and on the long run new markets will show up and they will loose more authors… so in the end they will have to do something. But I guess for now they have the power. Time will tell if authors will accept there terms.
as far as I understood it may take several months, even years until we are going to see improvments. They have a team that are working on promoting the company in usa…
