Why is shipping, shipping insurance and fees taxed? Bad enough buyers are now
charged sales tax on something previously taxed but it seems grossly unfair to
tax non-retail expenses.

RandyF would say "I think you need to take up the issue
with your governments instead of here in the BrickLink forums."

I'm sorry, but I guess BL made it how it should work, by Law?


Exactly! Take it up with the US government!

Be happy to *only* have the FBI.

Please don't compare having a flu and a cancer

BL is LEGO now. Be sure they've pro staff dedicated to make it work how it's
supposed to work according to Laws.

In short, I guess it's as it as to be - and sorry

Different States have different rules. Florida taxes shipping (and all other
charges required for delivery).

Florida collects sales tax on shipping ... but only if you offer one carrier.
If you offer two or more, it's not-taxable.

When states didn't tax shipping people would charge $0.50 for something and
ask $200.00 for shipping.
