I just got an email from eBay Main Street, which is eBay's mailing list for political issues which affect their sellers. This email is tells me to call congress to NOT withdraw from the Universal Postal Union, under the logic that it will make it harder to ship stuff from the US to other countries.

Of course this is bad for eBay, and perhaps etsy, shopify and others. The flood of direct-from-China sellers selling cheap products and shipping for free (on USPS's dime) will stop.

  Definitely bad for eBay and etsy. They're absolutely dependent on the flood of cheap goods. Honestly this is disastrous for etsy, but maybe it'll help them get back to their roots and be useful again.

    This sounds like a win for America.
