I've been closed for a while and for the life of me I cannot remember if
BL charges fees including handling and shipping costs or just the order total
plus taxes. The Fees and Billing policy page has no breakdown at all, just this:

$0 USD - $500 USD 3% of the Order Total

$500 USD - $1,000 USD 3% of the initial $500 ($15)
plus 2% of the remaining total

Over $1,000 USD 3% of the initial $500 ($15)
plus 2% of the initial $500 - $1,000 ($10)
plus 1% of the remaining total

BL only charges fee for the value of the parts.

Just on the total of items ordered at the visible price, nothing else.

https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=38&q=fees

In short, if you've VAT (like me) in your prices, the fees are also on the
VAT (which is a bit unfair

But not on Sales Taxes which are added AFTER on the whole, neither shipping,
additional or credit (so, no negative fees removed).

It is what's termed "Order Total" within the order detail page, the fee percentage
is applied.

Just went through and did some calculations on orders to confirm, just in case
I'm behind on updates

Thank you, was double checking as I seem to remember a lot of dialogue concerning
fees taken on the sale tax when it first began. Just want to be accurate for
keeping track.

You pay PayPal (and, I guess, Stripe) fees on the sales tax but not BL fees

I empathize, Judith. I'm the same way, in wanting to double check things
I know, I know (or should know that I know) you know?

Something to do with my age, they tell me. "Age! I'm just getting started"
