You could try, but i don't think 10% is going to be deemed excessive. I have
seen stores that charge a nominal amount for parts + a gigantic "handling
fee" shut down for fee avoidance (BL fees are not charged on shipping).

Instead of reporting them...

Why not just choose to purchase from stores where you are in agreement with their
Terms and Conditions.

Packaging material (carton or bubble wrap envelopes for ex.) are far from free.
Stickers, printer ink...

Fees aren't forbidden.

Of course, while $0.75 is super correct, 10% seems more to be an abuse of fees,
or a BrickLink fees avoidance.

This said off context, with the few info (and no number) you gave us.

Anyway, to report, use this form, put the username once, select a reason, explain
a bit:

There really isn't a rule about fees I don't think. They could have
fat fingered it and meant to put in 1% unless that's what they say in their
terms. Do they have an long history of positive feedback?

  Hallo

Ich möchte hier auch ein paar Klemmbausteine verkaufen , habe auch schon ein
upgrade auf Verkäufer gemacht nun soll ich bei der Storeeinstellung eine weiter
Versandart einpflegen ich weiß aber nicht wo, kann mir jemand weiterhelfen.

Hi!
Dein Shop sieht von hier aus offen aus, das hat also schon einmal geklappt. Wenn
Du weitere Versandmoeglichkeiten dazufuegen willst (ins Ausland z.B.), dann musst
Du dazu im Menue von "My Store" auf "Edit Store" klicken, und
dann auf der linken Seite "Shipping". Dort siehst Du Deine Versandoptionen
und kannst weitere eingeben.
Viel Erfolg als Verkaeufer auf Bricklink!
Patrick

  Can you image if UPS had this kind of transition? They’d be out of business.

If DeJoy has his way, that is exactly what will happen. Then his corporate buddies
can sweep in and pick up overblown federal contracts taking dollars out of the
general population and putting it into the pockets of shareholders; all the while
blaming the federal government for mismanagement of federal dollars, continuing
to reduce the middle class, raise prices, blame the population for their lack
of drive and work ethic, while rigging the system so only the 1% can succeed;
while the cult of personality waves the flag, lies with his hand on the good
book and distracts the gullible by spouting Putin's talking points and prosthelytizing
about freedumbs.

Many of the changes the USPS has been making are necessary and, in some cases,
have improved service. Package processing during the holidays has been great
the last few years after the pandemic meltdown.
But this was a disaster, my USPS rep as usual had no answers. I see now not even
a US Senator could get his answers without dragging Mr. Dejoy Infront of a committee.

We are having so much fun in Atlanta with our postal system! (NOT.)

Please understand that I love the United States Postal System. I think it is
an amazing organization that has done an outstanding job serving the people of
our country since its founding. This post is not meant to denigrate the hardworking
individuals who are trying to do their jobs, but are caught up in a political
nightmare not of their own making.

In case you've been caught up with other stories around the world, here is
the latest on my region's woes and the USPS system in general:

  When I opened my store shipping was a weight scale, starting at $3.00 but hat
really only covers First Class postage, which can't be tracked. One package
sent First Class still hasn't arrived to the sller, after 2 weeks.

You are the seller. Your customers are buyers.

You can't ship LEGO via First Class mail. This is just for normal mail that
runs through the roller sorting machines. You should turn off this shipping method.
Go through the Calculate a Price feature on USPS.com to learn the different shipping
methods and their rules and prices.

  I changed my shipping options to 2 methods that provide tracking information
- Ground Advantage for $5.95 and Priority which is $9.85.

These prices are high. Consider purchasing your postage online for a significant
discount.

  
Problem is buyers are still paying the $3.00 so every shipment I eat a min. of
$2.95. I'm sure it's something I haven't done, don't know how
to do, etc.

Suggestions?

Go through your shipping methods. Delete or disable the ones you don't want
to use. Don't trust any 'shared' shipping method on BrickLink. They
are not maintained or updated. You need to learn enough to create your own shipping
methods. I would suggest updating your terms as well.

Good luck,
