Honestly this is why I generally just part them out if I'm going to sell
them.

I just opened all of mine so I can note that one can open them with minimal damage
and use tape to re-seal (not to sell them as sealed, of course). I don't
think this is possible with a polybag.

  Can a store in the USA charge other stores in the USA for their PayPal fee?
Thanks

I think using that verbiage is against paypal's TOS.

I also think someone else once mentioned that it's against paypal's TOS
to have a cheaper payment option than paypal if multiple options are available
at checkout. So if paypal is offered as a payment option, it can't be a higher
price than like a check or cash order. This was probably more relevant in the
days before onsite payments were required.

One thing I've questioned though is if it's just the verbiage.

So, in theory, a store could charge a 3.49% fee + 0.49 extra and call it an "admin
fee", "service fee", or "general fee", and be safe as long
as they didn't call it a "paypal fee".

Yes although like you say I think the principal from Paypal's perspective
is that you cannot charge your paypal customers different to any other payment
method so even if you called it an Admin fee that fee would need to apply to
all customers and not just your Paypal customers else it would be deemed as a
paypal specific admin fee. I guess you could get around this by making your store
only accept paypal as a payment method because then the admin fee applies to
all your customers equally!

No, it’s because the store has 0 items for these WLs.
So there’s no need to let you (un)select the WLs from the current search as that
won’t change the results.


  […]
Ultimately what I'm trying to achieve is given a specific piece, I want to
find stores that have a lot of parts on my other wanted lists. The best way
I've found to do this now is to first find stores that have the specific
key part and then look through each store applying a "wanted list" search
in each one of them. This doesn't work very well since I can't select
grayed out lists. It's also pretty tedious. Ideally, I'd be able to
filter the list of sellers in the "Buy" view by a specific piece after
I've searched them for my wanted lists.

Use the Buy page https://www.bricklink.com/v2/wanted/buy.page
and on the left, use the Wanted Items tab (the default is Wanted Lists).
There, you can (un)select individual items from all your WLs.  And you can make
some items “required” with the small lock icon (that is: only stores that have
these items are shown).

I noticed that when I search by wanted list inside of a store, some of my wanted
lists are searched but others are grayed out. It seems like there might be a
maximum number of wanted lists that are considered in this search? I can understand
limiting this as it could be an expensive search. Of the "active" wanted
lists in this view I can select which ones I want to search but I don't see
a way to select some of the grayed out lists. Is this possible?
Does anyone else have tips on how I might do this?

Ultimately what I'm trying to achieve is given a specific piece, I want to

  Yesterday I placed an order on a little store where I saw that in store terms:
"Additional Bricklink/PayPal fees will be added at the end of the order (packaging,

I'm thinking of a new one:

"Additional charge of $1.50 per order for professional accountant's fees."

That's cheap, even when averaged over all orders!

I don't know at your place, but a year of accounting in France for a small
company is invoiced about 2000/3000€...

The trick is to save all the documents and not think about it until tax season,
then do nothing but taxes for 3 days straight and then forget about it until
the next tax season. Good money saver

3 days? 15 days, at least

Usually 1-2 days but what is you doing that takes 15 days 🦦…
