| Dear BrickLink members,
Due to legal compliance with DAC-7 rules, we are required to collect additional
information from new business sellers in the European Union starting from the
middle of next week. Refer to Article 8ac of the document to find out if you
have the documentation to qualify as a business seller.
https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=CELEX%3A32021L0514
Additional information that we will be collecting includes the following:
- Name of business
- Business registration number, including a supporting document. As different
rules apply for each EU member state, refer to your local authority for more
information
- Tax Identification Number (TIN), including a supporting document:
https://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/tin/#/check-tin
- OSS Number and/ or VAT ID for each country of registration:
https://taxation-customs.ec.europa.eu/online-sellers_en
At the moment, only new business sellers who are registering after the launch
are going to be affected by the new procedure. However, if a current EU seller
changes their country, they will be required to provide additional documentation
as well.
All existing EU business sellers should be aware that these rules will also apply
to them starting from 2024, when the re-verification of existing details will
happen. Until then, we will continue working closely with authorities to establish
the best process for this next step.
Thank you,
BrickLink Team

| Dear BrickLink members,
A report has recently surfaced of a possible data breach on our website, BrickLink.com.
We can assure you, our members, that we have seen no evidence of any breach of
our systems and have no reason to believe that the data you entrust us with has
been compromised.
A short while ago, we were approached by a third party who offered their services
to fix several potential security loopholes they had identified. This third party
is not one of our suppliers and we did not request them to provide any analysis
or diagnosis of our systems.
When we did not engage the services of this third party, they apparently released
this “news” that a security breach could have happened on our site. Whereas it
is true that there is always a small possibility that data could be compromised
on any site, we feel this report unfairly portrays our website as unsafe.
We have invested substantially in our security system and are confident in its
ability to keep your data safe. In addition, we strictly follow the LEGO Group
standards for GDPR compliance and other legal requirements regarding the data
of our users.
Thanks for you attention, and please feel free to contact the Help Desk with
any questions you might have.
The BrickLink Team

| Hello everyone,
It has been quite a while since we added a new US state to the sales tax list,
but come January 1, 2023, Missouri will also be there:

Please consult this Help Page for an explanation of how Bricklink collects US
sales tax:

This Help Page also touches on refunds, quotes, the store address, and manual
tax settings.

| Dear BrickLink member,
We’ll be making some changes to the LEGO® Account system in 2023 that’ll make
things a bit easier for you and other BrickLink® members. We’re introducing a
universal LEGO nickname that will work in all online LEGO experiences, including
BrickLink. This means that your username on BrickLink will be the same as your
LEGO Account nickname. That way, you’ll only have to keep track of one nickname,
and it’ll be easier for others to follow you and enjoy your LEGO content.
Right now, we’re giving our BrickLink and LEGO Ideas members a chance to create
and reserve their preferred nickname before we open the service to other LEGO
account holders. If you already have a LEGO Account, we’ll ask you to do a quick
setup on that account by following the link below. All you must do is submit
your BrickLink username as your new LEGO Account nickname. That’s how we’ll make
sure you get the nickname you prefer, on BrickLink, LEGO Ideas and everywhere
else!
If you do not have an account already, follow the link below to create an account
and to select your own nickname.
We understand how important it is to you that other BrickLink members recognize
you on our site, so we encourage you to complete the nickname setup as soon as
you can.
There’s one more thing, though. For trademark and copyright reasons, nicknames
can’t contain words like “LEGO” or “BrickLink” We appreciate all our BrickLink
members, and we understand that changing your nickname isn’t necessarily something
you’d like to do. It’s all part of our work to provide our BrickLink members
with the best possible way to connect with the LEGO brand and each other, and
we hope you’ll feel the benefits of this going forward.
If you find your nickname is rejected for this reason, we encourage you to use
other words related to the LEGO brand like “brick” or “build.” See what fun and
personal combinations you can make!
Anyway, here’s what you need to do:
• Follow this link to log in to your LEGO Account or to create a new LEGO account
https://identity.lego.com/en-US/profile?returnUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bricklink.com%2F&clientid=0fd7ca3b-3a33-48e3-a747-8ec6f09557c1&appContext=false&adultexperience=true&hideheader=true&hideclosebutton=false&hideexternallogin=false&childsignupexperience=
• Click the Edit icon next to your avatar
• Choose your preferred nickname in the field
• Click Submit and wait a few seconds for your nickname to be approved
• That’s it! You’re all set!
Please select your preferred nickname by the 16th of January 2023. If you’re
not able to change it by this time, we’ll give you an auto-generated nickname.
PLEASE CHECK THESE GUIDELINES BEFORE SUBMITTING A NEW NICKNAME
A nickname...
• can be created in the languages available within a LEGO experience, e.g., LEGO.com
or LEGO Life.
• must be between 4-25 characters in length
• can contain both upper- and lower-case letters
• can be a mix of characters and numbers
• can include a maximum of 4 numbers
• can only include the following special signs: ‘.’ and/or ‘-‘and/or ‘_’
• can include spaces, but not two or more consecutive spaces
• can’t contain the LEGO wordmark including any variations that make it look
as if the name indicates an individual representing the LEGO Group
• can’t contain a LEGO franchise that is a trademark owned by the LEGO Group
• can’t contain a name from another intellectual property not owned by the LEGO
Group (example: Star Wars)
• can’t contain an email address or other contact info
• can’t contain references to other social platforms
• must adhere to the standard LEGO moderation guidelines including but not limited
to political or religious topics, drugs and alcohol, weapon references, hate
speech, profanities, violence, or abusive language

| To all French buyers,
Beginning in July 2021, all marketplaces were required to recover VAT charges
for any purchases under EUR 150 coming from outside the EU.
This year in France, this rule was expanded to include all imports from outside
the EU, specifically on purchases above EUR 150.
The question we have is:
Based on your experience, are customs authorities collecting VAT on imports
valued over EUR 150 that have shipped during this year (2022)?
We are reaching out directly to several French buyers on BrickLink for their
input, but we also wanted to ask this question to French buyers who happen to
be in the Forum. Please add your reply to this thread.
Thank you,
The BrickLink Team
