But this is about DAC-7, not about OSS & the €10k “Distance Selling” threshold.
AFAIK, DAC-7 wants to know for how much you sell, not what you buy.
And, again, there’s no proof that what you buy here, you sell here. At most,
if DAC-7 was interested in that, it would ask for your buying _separately_, not
“selling minus buying.”

| Because of margin goods
https://www.belastingdienst.nl/wps/wcm/connect/bldcontentnl/belastingdienst/zakelijk/btw/bijzondere_regelingen/margeregeling/
As far as I know margin goods do not count towards the EU-marketplace rules.
But need to be done with your local tax office.
We informed BrickLink about those rules back in 2022 with a signed document by
our local taxation office confirming our statement.
Now in 2024 those rules still apply and as far as I`m aware it will still exist
in the same form after 2024.

Why?  The regulation asks for what you sell, not what you buy.
Of course you need to buy before you sell, but buying here is no different from
buying elsewhere.
(Besides, there’s also no way to know if you sell here what you buy here. You
might buy elswhere to sell here and buy here to sell elsewhere, hopefully for
you at a higher price each time.)

If by sellers not sending to Norway you mean Bricklink shows a message that the
seller does not support orders to Norway then you can try to contact those sellers
as they just need to accept PayPal Onsite or Stripe as payment methods.

I believe BL is required by law to collect VAT and remit to the Norwegian authorities.
I'm guessing that many sellers just don't want to bother with the VOEC
number or the possibility of something going wrong.

But which problem?
BrickLink provides an invoice showing VAT has been paid and the VOEC number.
I don't understand.

https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=2616
"Sellers are required to ensure that VOEC number issued by BrickLink is provided
to Norwegian Customs authorities for each order that contains only low-value
items.
Failure to provide a VOEC number from BrickLink may result in errors and delays
because an order’s value would have to be identified at the border.
How to provide the VOEC number digitally:
Freight by postal service:
Provide the VOEC number (7 digits) via «electronic advance data» (M33/ITMATT
V1.) when booking the freight from your local postal service. Enter your 7-digit
VOEC number in the ITMATT field «sender.identification.reference».
Freight by other transporters, for example couriers, express delivery services:
Enter your VOEC number (7 digits) in the EDI message or via API as directed by
the carrier when booking the freight.
You can find up-to-date information on how to sell goods within the VOEC scheme
to Norwegian consumers here. If you have questions about how to provide your
VOEC number digitally, please contact the carrier of your goods"

we still do NOT receive e-mails sent though mailchimp or whoever you use to send

But if sent from @bricklink or @lego, no problem of course.
So, please inform sellers from bricklink and not through the mass e-mail
provider.
Thank you!

An observation, is that orders (without any shipping method changes) went into
a very slow patch for a several days. Do you have a test account ? Might be worth
putting a few things into a shopping cart and see if they calculate correctly,
and based upon the correct zone.
What is not clear (from the announcement) is ... how is BL arriving at the zone
(and the correct postage). The old API method pre-dated when USPS switched to
zone based PM and FCPS. With the new system, you can do it via a API call to
USPS or by loading your own tables and doing a 2-step table lookup (one lookup
for the ZIP-code to zone calculation and one lookup for the actual postage values).
More recently USPS has applied a need for package dimensions, because larger
packages get surcharges. Presumably the API calls also have to supply package
dimensions, else then will generate incorrect results (or possibly refuse to
generate any result). Any table lookup methodology should also need to be sensitive
to package size (because large packages have surcharges).
If BL is using the API calls, then the package dimensions would be a requirement
(just like they are on Pirate Ship). I hope someone from BL can enlighten us
about how this was implemented.

We have removed these outdated API-based shipping methods:
• Domestic USPS First-Class Packages (retail),

Starting from today, you will be seeing the following shipping methods in your
Store Settings instead:
• USPS Ground Advantage (commercial),
• USPS Ground Advantage (retail),
• USPS Priority Mail (commercial),
• USPS Priority Mail (retail).
As usual, you can access the new USPS rates for Courier API methods upon selecting

2. Paid with a debit or credit card by using the 'Pay with Card' link

Seller fee payments that are sent to our PayPal account at billing@bricklink.com

So you're still offering "3 as before" payment methods, only on a
case-by-case basis? How about rephrasing your announcement to "Please submit
your fee payments via these 2 methods, the third is no longer desired - Thank
you, Your BrickLink Team"

Usually, this happens when
a) Sellers are closing their stores temporarily or permanently,
b) Sellers have an outstanding balance that is below the annual threshold for
collection. Accounts like that are billed on December 5th every year, more about
this here: https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=38 in the Minimum Bill Requirement
section.
Please reach out to us or comment here if you have any questions.

This is great news ! Now, will they (the new and improved methods) correctly
identify and select the zone (as determined by the first 3 digits of the seller's
zip and the first 3 digits of the buyer's zip) ? All of the Priority Mail
methods (ignoring flat rate) and all of the Ground Advantage require knowledge
of the zone.
The old API methods did not identify/use the zones.
