#37 - GPSR, Is Etsy's $£ down? Instagram scams and things you need to know - The BIG Update
💙 The BIG update episode - I dive into some significant updates that every handmade business owner needs to be aware of, especially as we approach the holiday season.
🎄 With Christmas orders piling up, I wanted to ensure that you have all the essential information in one place, without the hassle of sifting through misleading clickbait or lengthy articles.
🚨 The episode kicks off with a crucial discussion about the General Product Safety Regulations (GPSR), which come into effect on December 13, 2024. If you are based in the EU or sell to EU customers, this is a must-listen segment. I explain the implications of these regulations, emphasising the need for businesses to take greater responsibility for product safety. I share my observations from working with numerous handmade businesses, highlighting the importance of compliance and the potential consequences of neglecting these new rules.
