| I received an order from a recurring customer.
This time, the order has a different shipping address, a different name, and
the buyer says it is a gift and I should not specify any price or add any invoice
or bill to the envelope.
I clearly sense a dropshipping case here.
Is it allowed on bricklink?

I believe it's allowed, one wishes that buyers would be a bit more honest
though.

| What does this have to do with the honesty of the buyer? The seller can't
care where he sends the item. Unless it causes higher shipping costs or the address
does not match the address stored with PayPal. If payment was made via PayPal.

I don't care where I send the item and I don't care if a dropshipper
orders from me. I just think it's lame when they dissemble and claim they're
sending a gift.

I understand where you are coming from, but to a certain point there is no need
for going into major detail about one's life or need to share. There's
no need to say "I'm at my parents after dad passed away, my brother and
I are trying to complete a set that has sentimental value." , "it's
a gift" should suffice.

To be clear I'm not asking for anyone to share anything.

You can't list items you don't own, but that is in the sellers control.
1.2.8 Exact quantity: The quantity of the item that you are listing for sale
must not be greater than the quantity you have physical possession of in the
country in which your BrickLink store is registered. Drop shipping is not permitted.
The only exception to this is a custom fan magazine that has to be pre-ordered
and the Buyer is made aware of this in the item description.
But a nothing says a dropshipper couldn't order from bricklink. Besides there
are tons of different reasons to ship to a different address: a gift, item you
were short on, completing a transaction, trades how and shipping to hotel, business
partner, relative that doesn't like the internet, friend that doesn't
want the hassle to setup a bl account.

Yes, to be clear a BrickLink seller can't dropship since BL sellers can only
list what they actually have in inventory (maybe an exception can be made for
inventory mistakes, etc.). But there isn't anything stopping people from
listing on e.g., eBay, and then dropshipping from BL.

Yes exactly this ^
Bricklink doesn't want people selling what they don't have to hand here
because that can create a bad buyer experience. However it will be of little
concern to Bricklink if the buyer is shopping from another platform and the goods
are drop shipping from Bricklink

The only time we step in is if the dropshipper is a professional buyer and starts
giving sellers a hard time about orders that didn't go well. Otherwise, we
tolerate them - because a lot of our sellers appreciate the business.

Yes personally I'm happy to take orders from drop shippers but for my own
sales I prefer to hold the inventory else things can get messy with sourcing
as well as jeopardizing own feedback when relying too heavily on the service
and accuracy of others

Yes, it is allowed. If it is a dropshipper, you may get a nice repeat customer.
Also, just because the buyer's info is different doesn't automatically
make it a dropship. It could be a seller short of parts on an order who wants
you to ship the missing parts directly to their customer.

If it is shipped outside your own country, you will still have to add customs
info including price.

I don't like it, only because if a customer has an issue with quality
or packaging for shipping I would like for them to contact me directly. They
could provide photos of anything broken or damaged in route. Perhaps one day
when my store is big enough I will feel more comfortable with drop shipping.
Have an epic day!
