US removed from global shipping eBay - any way around it?

 I’ve only just realised , especially from lots of messages lately from people in the US, that they can no longer buy my eBay items, as looking at the global shipping countries you post to eBay have now removed United States – my best customer. Needless to say my sales are plummeted which is gutting when I’ve been paying £94 a month to sell worldwide.

Has anyone found a way around this? I cannot seem to add international postage because of the global shipping but global shipping excludes America so I’m really stuck.

    What's the origin of the items you are selling?

    Isn’t this because of the tariffs? 
    Although it doesn’t effect me but I thought I saw somewhere else online that USA had been reinstated.

    But are the items originating from the UK?

    I’m not sure, it must be the tariffs . People were not able to pay but I listed an item today and she still couldn’t see the item so I checked and USA has been removed so it’s definitely not been lifted on ebay

    I've just checked my Global Shipping listings and the USA is still there.

    I’ve had people buy from US and not able to pay and eBay told me it was a glitch. Newly listed items with global shipping have this list with US removed

    Mostly likely to do with the uncertainty over tariff's. Ebay cannot  charge upfront for the import duty duties. The rates might be changed while the goods are in transit.

    I don't use it so don't know one way or another. It's likely tariff related though. The GSP relies on knowing what the import fees will be in advance. As they keep changing every five minutes that's increasingly difficult to do.
