| Just curious here. Has Bricklink always collected sales tax on shipping fees?
I thought only the actual sale was taxable. PLMK if I'm missing something.

parts are starting at 15% off. Minifigure and animal parts are starting at 8%
off. Over the next 6 weeks the discounts will continue to increase until everything
is gone. See something you like, make an offer.

Minifigure and animal parts are starting at 5% off. Over the next 6 weeks the discounts will continue to increase until everything is gone. See something you like, make an offer. |

| This is a horrible idea. This site has been hacked a few times in the past under
previous ownership. Why make this site a target with worthwhile incentive...a
trove of credit card info with matching names and addresses. Nothing I've
personally seen or heard here has led me to believe that Lego has significantly
improved security here. Hopefully I'm wrong about this.

| | | Thanks for the tip! For product bought for reselling, what sort of expense do
you list that as? When I put it as inventory, any sets I paid for that haven't
been sold this year (inventory remaining) are not deducted from my profit, which
doesn't seem right to me because inventory purchased is still an expense.
|
I just declare it as inventory purchased. Weather it sells or not during the
year it's still a business expense. Even if you sell those unsold sets the
following year you'll still get taxed on them.

| I was in a similar position earlier this year. In Illinois most of us got blindsided
when our governor changed the thresholds for online payments (with zero info
provided before hand). I simply hired a CPA. Best $200 I spent this year!
I've always saved my expense receipts just in case something like this ever
happened. FYI the following are all tax deductible...
Shipping supplies and postage
Paypal, Bricklink, or any other online service fees relating to your business.
Product bought for reselling. Get a receipt book to keep track of cash paid
for private collections.
Vehicle mileage. (runs to the post office or purchase of product or supplies)
Home office if you have one.
A portion of your monthly internet bill.
There's a few others too. HIRE A CPA! LOL

| | | I know this is kind of off topic but what is the paypal limit you're talking
about?
|
I keep my paypal income activity under $20,000 for the year.

| I suggested this in the past with little to no response but I would like to be
able to have a different minimum order threshold settings for domestic and international
orders. Personally I'm tired of having small value orders that have high
shipping rates eat into my paypal limit. Even the cheapest international shipping
price isn't so cheap anymore. If I get bashed for being a cheapskate so
be it, but I'd like to get everybody else's input on this too.

| I fail to see the issue with typing in all caps. For some people it's the preferred
way of typing and most likely is easier for them to read and check what they
have written. Whenever I have to actually write something I prefer printing.
Writing in cursive is a pain in the a-- for me and I have a hell of time reading
somebody else's cursive. Many call typing in all caps yelling. This is false.
If you want to show excitment when writing most people use this "!". You're
making a mountian out of a mole hill. This is a non issue in my opinion.

| I don't know about everybody else but it would be nice if there was a way to
make problem members check with a seller before placing an order. Let's a seller
has a member that consistantly pays late for his orders and has to have a NPB
filed everytime to make him pay. A seller should have an option to flag this
member and have the buyer check with the seller before placing an order. This
way there is no mistaking a store's policies and a payment deadline can be agreed
upon.
