I have a technical question, is the limit of 10,000 euros for sales to the EU
only the value of the goods or is it completely inclusive of all the added fees
that I charge for the BL? (postage and paypal fees)
I don't want to become a payer because of the added bureaucratic burden,
so I'm keeping an eye on it. I would like to know what exactly I should monitor,
last year I monitored everything including postage and paypal fees, but I read
somewhere that they do not count towards the limit, so how is it really?
thank you for the answers or the correct direction to the help where it is written.

The €10k threshold replaces the previous by-country thresholds for non-domestic
sales, so it works the same way, and that’s the same way as domestic sales: it’s
your total sales.

BrickLink and PayPal fees are parts of your costs, exactly like buying the LEGO
you sell.  You don’t remove your costs from your sales when you consider your
total sales.

Postage is a cost too.  There’s rare cases where it can be excluded but they
don’t apply on BL.

so bricklink calculates everything including added fees (postage, paypal, etc..)
is that right? (I didn't read anywhere in the help that it would only be
the price for the goods) So I will also count everything the same as last year,
thank you for the answer
