Selling in the USA and tariffs | Selling on eBay

I’m a private seller using eBay to sell in Italy and the EU. Some users have messaged me privately asking if I can sell to them too, but they’re in the USA. But, considering tariffs and customs formalities, is it actually still worth selling to the USA today? Have the recent tariffs changed anything regarding private-to-private sales? I understood that no duties are paid if it’s a private-to-private sale and the value of the goods does not exceed $800, but otherwise it’s the buyer who has to pay them? And if the goods get stuck at customs, can the buyer ask for a refund since the goods don’t arrive (on time)? Lastly, is it safe to ship with Poste Delivery International Standard, which offers tracking only up to customs?
