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

I think it's one thing to not include a polybag, but the CMFs come in boxes
now.

They still need to be opened to identify them as they are meant to be blind packaged.
Of course, in some cases the barcodes can be used where known. In the same way
buyers don't care about ripped open foil packets for earlier series, I doubt
buyers will want sellers to be shipping the relatively large and heavy ripped
open boxes at the buyer's expense, just for them to be thrown away. If they
were meant to be identifiable without opening, it is a very different case.

You can't sell them as New, Complete without the box.
You can sell them as New, Incomplete OR you could part them out as sets and sell
the minifigures in zip bags.

Honestly I personally think the guidelines for complete sets should be changed.

It doesn’t account for real shipping: it uses an average of “recent” “similar”
orders (it’s somewhere in the help I think); so I doubt it does anything with
fees.

As Saitobricks.ca said: you simply make a post in the Sales topic. That also
goes for advertising new items for sale.
In case of doubt, look at the topics’ descriptions: https://www.bricklink.com/messageTopics.asp
I moved this thread to Selling as it’s not properly an ad for your sale and you
can only do one such ad per month.
(To be clear: you only get one new thread per month; you can answer your post
for updates… provided it’s not a way to circumvent the limit.)
Also note that when you post in Sales, you post appears on the site’s main page
(scroll down a bit to see the current ones).
(That only works if you post in Sales, not when the post is moved to Sales.)
So, go and make a proper sale post in Sales!
Happy selling

Here on the forum, just select the sales topic and post about your sale.

This is strictly forbidden by PayPal and BrickLink - and somewhere probably by
EU Laws...
You could report this shop, or at least tell them and see if they change their
Terms?

So, he add fees to the buyer but try to avoid them himself...

If they have said that in bricklink messages, rather than just by email, then
report it. They should be suspended for doing that.
