We stopped selling online training in the EU because of it: https://www.brentozar.com/archive/2017/12/gdpr-stopped-selling-stuff-europe/ https://www.brentozar.com/archive/2017/12/gdpr-stopped-selli... I actually love the idea behind GDPR, but as a small company, the cost of compliance (and heaven forbid, responding to an EU inquiry) is just too high relative to the low amount of revenue we get from EU citizens. I'm looking forward to revisiting that in 2019 as WordPress, WooCommerce, Gravity Forms, etc make it easier to be compliant, but right now there's just no way.

That's a very informative post. I missed it at the time it was discussed on HN, so thanks for linking it. As an EU citizen, I can say your decision is totally understandable, and I sincerely hope that after the dust settles, you'll get your chance again to sell to EU customers. You might have more competitors by then, though - I fully expect that as various companies retreat from European markets and/or shut down the "products which were on the backburner anyway", we'll have local companies popping up to fill the void.
