Now
I don't know whether a seller has to register as a corporation to be considered
a "business".
|
That’s the usual problem: some like to hide behind “I’m not incorporated” / “I’m
not registered.”
So other criteria are used: buying to resell, number of transactions, gross income….
But all that is local / can only be verified locally.
So, for importations, the rule is simplified to: if it’s not a gift (below such
amount) then it’s business.
(Otherwise, if I were country X, I would say: all the businesses that export
aren’t considered businesses by country X, so they aren’t businesses for any
other country either!)
That being said, I don’t know how the package tax works….
|
Since January, the Germans have a new law. The "Platform Tax Transparency
Act". It obliges online sales platforms to report all sellers who have either
made more than 30 sales or earned more than 2,000 euros a year. The report is
made in January of the following year. So for the first time in 2024.

These are exclusive sets for Blue Oceans Publishing's LEGO Star Wars magazines.
The sets should have a number on them, e.g. 912055, where 20 is the year of issue
and 55 is the number of the magazine.

| | Was looking to buy as many as I could from any source/site, within a given price
range, a certain LEGO item...
This particular vendor had sold many (being myself, late to the game) with only
two remaining available to buy within the listing. So I bought the two remaining
and paid the shipping, thinking the price made the shipping cost of the two well
worth it. I then noticed the vendor loaded a further two to the listing with
a one dollar increase each, so I bought them. Again evaluating the costs as within
my range. After which, the vendor loaded another two with a further one dollar
increase in price, and again I bought those.
This pattern repeats itself up to today’s purchase...
Now, all five transactions fall within my targeted acquisition price, so I’m
good. That said, while USPS has made out like a bandit as I hope did the vendor,
if the seller only would have contacted me after the first or second buy and
stated their total inventory and desired price for said inventory, I surely would
have bought all in a single transaction. At the very least, dividing the USPS
and packaging costs between us, buyer and vendor.
Okay, I could have and indeed would have, made the move myself had the item not
been underpriced to begin with. You deal hunters know what I'm talking about

Where does the buyer come from? If he comes from the EU, it is not possible to
pay by IBAN. You need an online payment option so that BL can calculate and collect

You can do it yourself. On Brickshelf you can find the corresponding data.

I don't know who made the entry on Lugnet, but comments are ignored there
too. From the errors you can see how all, Bricklink, Lugnet, Peeron and Brickset
copy or have copied from each other without doing their own research.
There are 446 watches listed here on Bricklink. I have found 770 different watches
so far. Where as a collector I consider each order number or box variant as a
separate watch. If I eliminate that, there are still more than 520. How many
watches have you catalogued so far?

Sadly the excessive wait, makes me not want to contribute to the catalog ever

As recently as two months ago, we had a backlog of items going all the way back
to February of last year. We are now caught up to November of last year, and
we are trying very hard to get to the rest. If you had submitted the items six
plus months ago, they would be in the catalog by now, so the truth is that you
submitted them earlier than six plus months ago. When I look at the pending items,

A useful starting point for speeding things up and saving a lot of time would
be to import directly the images of new parts from LEGO database. Why reinvent
the wheel and take fresh pictures of everything?

| Yes, you are right. The 6750 set was launched in October 1986.
The Set 880 was classified by TLC as a service pack. That is why it is mentioned
in the collectors guide in the "Service Packs" on page 890 with set number
and year of release.

The year 2000 mentioned in the collecors guide is a result of the information

Both, 1998 and 2000, can be correct. From 1998, this set was available exclusively
from Shell and/or Ferrari as a promotional or sales set, and from 2000, LEGO
sold the remaining stock. However, this set does not appear anywhere in the dealer

Perhaps someone knows more about it. I did buy my sets on Ebay until 2003.

I voted "yes" because this would actually be easy to do (also tax-wise).
However, there is still the hurdle "Paypal". Each seller is required

It's not that simple anymore. BL will charge Florida sales tax, which may

Give the seller a reasonable period of time until the money must be refunded.

Oops, I missed that part. 
Though I see how this could cause trouble for sellers, with buyers tying up inventory
for three days only to reject (or fail to accept) the offer.
It's a great idea, but there's a number of solutions already in place,
with different benefits and drawbacks for the buyer and seller involved (e.g.,
buyer pays for order and leaves seller negative feedback more than thirty days
after the seller has left the buyer feedback so the seller can't retaliate).
I do agree that BrickLink could be more friendly to buyers, though. I know of
few ecommerce websites that allow sellers to increase the price of an order after
the buyer has agreed to pay.

Here in the EU, all commercial sellers must give buyers a 14-day right of withdrawal
and without giving any reason! Even if the orders are already paid. Exceptions
are only peronalized or specially made items.

I like looking at minifigures and many kinds of tiles with printing and so many

nature, caves, bridges, parks, many animals, waterfalls, beautiful looking buildings,
imaginary characters with so many nice, funny costumes...
I would love to build a world, where they would be areas for different things:
at least one for dinosaurs, one or more for some hobby themes...
Have also thought about some tv shows that i have watched like Mystery diners,
90 day fiance, Married with Children and so many more...where some minifigures
would be certain people from so called real world, but other would be like only
"played the role of person x ..." with different names, and put a story around
them.
I also saw some stop motion videos from Youtube, just wow, so amazing! How much
time and effort have they put into making them! Real patience they have Like
one with Titanic theme, so much details and everything there...
I love many colours, they are like eye candy to me, all the imagination related
things here for example...
And since i had put stuff more far away from my eyes, it felt like tiny Christmas

Well, sorry for my long message. Anyway, i hope that you get lots of joy with

Have had a spurt of these over the last couple of months - IC is not the answer
for us we need another tool or option, perhaps where we can set a minimum feedback
level for a buyers first order - an option of course and that would allow stores
to choose rather than Bricklink.

So you want to exclude buyers without sufficient reviews from your store? Then
others should make sure that the potential buyer gets enough reviews to buy from
you as well.
I can only hope that these buyers mark your store as "least favorite".

the changes and just log in one day to find that they are now SuperShinyDolphin.
Stores could have their URLs embedded all sorts of places that will be difficult
to update. To be honest, I don't think we are a very social-media-tech-savvy
crowd. Giving people one or two messages and one or two months to go figure out
a new system before significant change occurs is what's not fair.
Sales tax was deployed how long ago and how many posts are there from sellers
wondering why they can't ship to US states?? Quick communication is not a
guaranteed thing here.
As a catalog contributor, I am extremely concerned that many not very active
BrickLink accounts will have their usernames changed. That means all their catalog
credit will change too. Those of us who work in the catalog know our fellow member
names from long association. We know who is a trusted source, who focused on
which themes, who to contact to resolve an inconsistency. How many names will
change over to the silly default ones LEGO is handing out? Changing old accounts
to bb-whatever or BLUSER was bad enough, this is a disaster in terms of
catalog credit.
The disruption here from changing usernames will be severe if a better system
is not worked out. You are the ones who should be making sure all our usernames
stay intact.
Thanks,
Jen

Thanks for expressing your concern.
What is happening now gives members a chance to avoid problems like this by reserving
a nickname that is identical to their BrickLink username. We know that we won't
get everybody, but the idea is to solve most of these problems at this time.
For those of you who don't understand why your chosen username was rejected,
let us know and we will look into it. We have already contacted the LEGO Account
team about several representative cases that have arisen. So at this point, please
don't assume that just because a mickname is rejected by the system, that
there is nothing else we can do.
Regarding the changing of usernames that are part of our catalog legacy, this
is one of many issues we will handle when the time of actual integration comes.
Store URLs are another of those issues. There are several options we can explore,
including separating the URL from the BrickLink username.
We're making a list of these issues, so if there are other problems you anticipate,
please add them to this thread.

We’re sorry, but we couldn’t accept your nickname, Dino. Please submit another

As a seller you can cancel any order. However, you must then expect to receive

The total of parts (about 10 pneumatic cylinders) was about $40, and the seller

Aren't shipping costs more or less 'regulated', or is a seller 'free'

Not to sound suspicious but this reminds me of a scam many years ago on eBay

I don't know what went wrong, but your site always selects one shop with
a 14€ min buy.
I have 15 €, so that shouldn't be a problem, right?
Exceeeept, this is false information. Once i have created my carts and go to
checkout, it says, that the min. buy is 28€, not 14!
Sure, i can contact the merchant and do whatever, but to quickly solve these
situations, it would be really nice to be like "Yerah, i do not want that shop!".
Maybe you have had personal negative experiences with them and simply do not
want to shop there ever again, due to personal reservations.
I can think of two other instances, where this would have been nice -i just forgot
the exact reason- and if there already is a way to do this, it really needs to
be more comfortable/obvious.
Only solution i have found so far, would be to manually select every shop, that
suits your needs, which is not comfortable at all.

Yet your terms (which you have now changed) stated buyers could choose the option
of PayPal. This is part of your offer to buyers when they place an order, even
if this was not offered to them at the checkout. So a buyer reads your terms,
decides to pay with PayPal, places the order knowing that you allow the buyer
the choice of paying with PayPal, then you refused to honour your terms. And
then you left them negative feedback for wanting to pay using PayPal.
If you cannot accept that you made an error in offering buyers the choice of
PayPal then refusing it, then it is perhaps not surprising that the buyer refuses
to remove their negative feedback.

Before, Paypal was only allowed for Buyer outside of the Netherlands.

| | | Seeing that your terms were only updated today to say PayPal only, and the site
is PayPal dominant by default due to a lot of requirements for PayPal onsite,
a simple cancellation due to unclear terms on your part would have sufficed (and
you had started the "feedback war" by unnecessarily leaving your prospective
buyer negative feedback for something that was not their fault).
And yes; you're responsible for safe delivery of the order to your buyer.
Based on your response to others in this thread (and the negative feedback you
received years back), it sounds like you have no intention of honouring that
with IBAN. I can understand why a buyer would not trust to send their payment
via IBAN.
|
As far as I remember, the "Payment Policy" was only changed in that now only
IBAN is available.
Also, it is not true that the seller is always responsible for the delivery.
This is only true for professional sellers. For private sellers, the responsibility
ends with the transfer to the shipping company.

Hallo,
bisher hast Du nichts falsch gemacht.
Das Du den NSS eröffnet hat, bringt dir dein Geld nicht zurück. Das kannst Du
nur über Paypal direkt tun. Dafür hast du aber 6 Monate Zeit ab der Bezahlung.
Schreibe den Verkäufer noch einmal an und bitte ihn um eine Sendungsnummer. Besonders
wichtig! Schließe den NSS erst, wenn du die Ware erhalten und geprüft hast, auch
wenn der Verkäufer dich bittet oder sogar droht erst nach Schließung die Ware
zu versenden, denn du kannst kein zweites Mal ein NSS eröffnen!
Von BL wirst du nichts hören. Die halten sich da sehr bedeckt.
Viel Erfolg

Genau darin liegt das Problem! Bricklink kassiert zwar die Verkaufssteuer, meldet

Du mußt in der Zollinhaltserklärung die, von Bricklink mitgeteilte, Nummer angeben.
Normalerweise sollte dann der Versender alles weitere veranlassen (leider geschieht
