I wonder what happens when you register for the OSS. Does it mean that from that
point you are obligated to use it (ie. count VAT per country, at each
individual country's VAT rates), or does it mean you just have access
to that tax reporting environment?

I am asking because in the latter case, nobody needs to be "banned" unnecessarily.
Some sellers don't need to use the new system but Bricklink will say they
do (I am thinking about margin VAT sellers, and possibly sellers who sold over
the limit last year but will not do so this year). If they just register for
the OSS and provide the ID in their profile, they can continue to sell and they
can decide for themselves whether to use it or not.

Margin VAT sellers could just enter their VAT and OSS ID if Bricklink requires
it and continue to sell as before. The only real difference would be export out
of the EU, where the seller misses out on the full (19%-27%) VAT amount. They
could compensate by higher shipping rates though. Far from perfect but significantly
better than not being able to sell here at all.

This is not a big deal for me personally as I am not currently selling here,
so I can plan it when I want.. but... really?!

The catalog changes are scheduled for April 1. That's only 2 weeks away.
I noticed that this is a DRAMATIC catalog update that will throw the entire store
upside down. Definitely won't be able to take my entire 1.2 million parts
store apart and piece it back together just casually within these next two weeks
between sorting orders. Especially moving all the wedges will be be fun puzzle.

Not gonna object against any changes, they seem alright to me. Except that there's
one change clearly missing from that list: Moving the 2x2 corner brick to Brick,
Modified.. (since plate and tile are there)

I hope this really was THE update everyone was waiting for, and now we're
satisfied..

38339 Train Wheel RC, Holder with Pin Slots

But I see it is in "Wheel"... is this a mistake? Since, well, it clearly is not
a wheel

Again, can Bricklink please do something about the way the mininum average lot
value is explained to the buyer? I am getting many messages about it and find
myself explaining the same thing over and over. Please improve these descriptions
in the interface. Maybe by including an example, and by changing the terminology.
As is evident from many forum posts as well, many fresh buyers don't even
know what a "lot" is supposed to mean, let alone they will understand the concept
of minimum average lot value.

Very surprised to find moving rounded bricks to the Slope,Curved category. How
many people really were in favour of that idea and how many were against? I thought
the general sentiment was that curved slopes are an entirely different thing
than parts with a quarter circle.
Putting rounded parts in Slope,Curved really makes no sense to me. I'd really
like to see some kind of vote on this as I cannot imagine this is intuitive to
the users.
