Hi everyone, I am a seller based in Japan. I’d love to get your insights on something.

Recently, I’ve noticed a drop in purchases from buyers in the US compared to before. I'm wondering if this is mainly due to the impact of the Trump tariffs, or if the overall demand for used guitars is just declining? Or perhaps it’s a combination of both?

Also, I’m debating whether or not to include customs duties in the shipping cost. Currently, I include them in the shipping fee because I figure it makes it easier for buyers to calculate the total cost, even though it makes the visible shipping price look higher.

I would love to hear your thoughts or any advice on what would make you more inclined to buy from a seller in Japan. Thanks!
