  Yes, it’s my understanding that the solution¹ is for BL to refund the VAT².

But BL doesn’t do that


I also got hit with double VAT charges. Do I read it correct that there is no
way to reclaim the paid taxes from BL ?

Following the original OP's message, I could easily find the buyer thanks
to google.
But I could not add him to my stoplist because he was already stoplisted!

euh ... can you explain that ...

  It was not a friendly remark. She was clearly being sarcastic.

Lovely… so what’s the best way to list these? Mention in the notes that I have
6 that are darker if they want them?

I would list them in a different lot with the note *darker shade*. F

I totally agree. I think fees, all fees, are a way to hide the true cost for
the buyer.
That is my rant.

Actually, not charging for a paypal payment give the impression that paypal is
free while in fact it's a pretty expensive service (between 3 and 6% of total
value, including shipping costs !)

Forbidding buyers to charge that paypal fee is a very sneaky way of paypal to
hide this cost for buyers. And what I'm amazed of, is that the whole world
takes this shit.

Here in Europe buyers can pay by IBAN which is fee free. By charging the paypal
fee, buyers are aware that there is that fee, that that service isn't free.


If I should raise all my prices, firstly I would support papyal in their sneaky
way of deception. And secondly those who pay by IBAN would pay too much.

and that's my rant

  2. After you have completed Step 4: Shipping and the Place Order button goes
live, you finally encounter the Request a Quote button.

the first isn't even true. If you ask a qoute, the items in your quote can
still be purchased by someone else.

  The cost of postage is outside their control. And with the many changes of rates
in the past two years it is possible they missed or made an error in postage
bands. As a seller you should know if their postage was incorrect when you checked
out. Are you as a seller willing to eat that much postage because of your mistake?

Excuse me ??

Why should a seller know if their postage was incorrect. The seller set the
rates and he should sent the order by these rates.

Hi All,

I ordered parts from a well known seller in the US and paid by paypal. It was
shipped by USPS with tracking. Package hasn't been scanned since 18 may,
so that's not good.

When I contacted the seller, he referred to his TOS where he stated that he
is not responsible for lost packages.

Well I think (read know) he is because he's an official seller so (at least
in Europe not sure how it is in the US) a seller is responsible for the delivery
of the goods. And secondly he accepted a payment by paypal so he is bound to
paypal terms.

What are you're thoughts about this ? Can a seller put in terms which are
against the law ? Should BL make an general TOS where all sellers are bound
too ? should I read his terms and not place the order ?
