By tax exclusive, I wasn't referring to any kind of tax exemption. Tax exclusive
when referring to calculators like this means that the total you have entered
does not include the sales tax. This is how sellers want it to operate (based
on discussions), where the amount we enter is tax exclusive, so the calculation
below it will add the tax automatically without the seller having to calculate
it (since we can't easily know what the rates are).
Tax inclusive is for when a seller is doing an amount (usually) above and beyond
just a direct refund of a part. To clarify, how it works right now by default
is this method - tax inclusive. When you enter an amount, the calculator believes
that you already included the sales tax, and it's doing the breakdown of
which part of that refund is sales tax, and what is the amount for the item(s)
itself.

You can turn it off for form fields (as well as for forms in general) by using
the attribute 'spellcheck="false"'. Whether the browser obeys is another
question, but I think most of them do.

| I know that suggesting new features might mean hitting a wall, but here we go.
As the Catalog Admins only accept pictures of items in colors that are not in
inventories if the part is in hand, then update the known colors list with this
data.
Also, this might tie with an update to be able to find parts that have a color
image from this page: https://www.bricklink.com/catalogColors.asp (now, if they
are not in a inventory they don't show up.)
And even further, show the selected color image not the standard one...
Hope this is read by a BL Dev someday

Or, you could move to a different jurisdiction that doesn't charge sales
tax.

I WANT to pay my taxes. I have no problem with paying my taxes.

The problem is that we (BrickLink) cannot pay those taxes unless the seller chooses
to use an onsite payment method. We cannot force sellers to make this choice,
so it is up to these sellers to open themselves up to the larger market.
This is why some other members in this thread are advising you to contact sellers
you wish to buy from and kindly ask if they would adopt an onsite method. It
is not a lengthy process - it takes just a few minutes for those who already
have an account.

First, “IBAN” is a misnomer, it’s just bank transfers, to be precise, an International
(not only EU) standard for Bank Account Numbers (i…b…a…n…!). It’s very unfortunate
that BL named this method this way, or, rather, it’s unfortunate it’s the name
under which it was publicized or at least collaquially adopted in some countries
(NL).
Even more unfortunate, this method actually covers many situations of bank transfers
but not all bank transfers: different currencies not only EUR, national or international
transfers but not “only EU” (or even “only Europpe”), and with or without fees
but with no way to know beforehand (depends on both seller’s and buyer’s banks).
I strongly believe BL should not have added this method, “bank transfers” was
sufficient, or should have given it a narrower meaning… and then, maybe, should
have created more than one.
| | From what I understand, several countries have their own preferred interfaces
for IBAN transactions. Outside Bricklink my Dutch customers pay by iDEAL and
my Belgian customers sometimes by Bancontact. As far as I know they're similar.
The cool thing about Stripe is that you can just accept these payments without
even knowing what they are, so adding these methods would be great for most on
Bricklink worldwide - the only exception being sellers outside the EU who only
sell domestically. (and of course it's great for the buyers in the countries
where these payment solutions are used)
The Dutch one is very popular here in spite of the fee. The fee is only €0.29
regardless of the amount, and even if a store/organisation/restaurant/etc would
offer both options, I'm assuming people just go for the onsite solution,
even if the seller passes on the fees to the buyer. That's what I do anyway.
It seems to me that offsite bank transfers are becoming less usual in daily life
here, with the main second hand trading site now also offering onsite payment.
It's going to be a matter of time before Bricklink (and Lego.com!) are going
to have to follow along.
|
In France, it’s mostly cards (with the possibility of chargeback, contrarily
to bank transfers) and I expect it will stay that way. Though, with the new
SEPA instant payment rules now in place and implemented, maybe the banks will
do something.

What Bricklink could do is inform all sellers that since mid last year they need
an onsite payment option to sell to (almost all) US buyers.
And inform them that in case of an error when trying to send an invoice they
have to check there template.
The Brexit mail was good although nothing was really said in it, but for the
US tax changes nothing has been communicated, while given all kinds of forum
posts a lot of sellers don't know about it.
|
Yes, I think there is overwhelming evidence that many sellers did not receive
the message from BrickLink regarding how the sales tax deployment directly affected
their stores. Despite all the problems and like 900 Forum posts about it, BrickLink
prefers to do nothing to solve this problem. The broken template thing was also
a bug they never addressed. Typical.

Oh right, Stripe does do debit/bank as well. Works fantastic on BrickOwl for
myself as well. I still get folks that like to do the Interac E-transfer method
(for Canada), so I'm not sure if they specifically support *all* debit features
natively but most.

IBAN is offsite but it can be used with instant checkout. For offsite payment

So you want them to break the law just for you? It is required for Bricklink
to collect sales tax. The sellers are the ones who haven't updated their
policies not Bricklink. Why don't you message the sellers telling them what
they need to do. Be part of the solution not part of the problem.

Just in case it wasn't clear-I have no problem with the taxes. I have a
problem that Bricklink won't allow me to complete a transaction with many
stores at the moment. I do a fair amount of bricklink buying to put it mildly.

| Sellers (those who have enabled onsite payments) are not paying your taxes at
all, they are simply enabling BrickLink to collect and remit those taxes on their
behalf as required by law for sales in many states.

If you don't want to pay your sales taxes to the great state of Massachusetts
then I suggest you use your democratic rights to elect legislators who will change
the law.
Or, you could move to a different jurisdiction that doesn't charge sales
tax.

Actually, I think that browsing is much more efficient with the small thumbnails
as long as the images are good enough. Larger images would only mean a lot more
scrolling. Different users have different needs! I hope any updates or changes
would acknowledge both needs.

That's correct - I think 2017 was the cutoff from what I've read here
in the forums.
I switched to a seller account just last year and never had a choice off onsite
vs. offsite - just PayPal, Stripe, or both.

I agree, it's a pain. And the bandwidth is not that much, just move the images

You are blaming the wrong people for the wrong things. Blame BrickLink for not
doing more to educate their sellers about the recent changes to the site that
directly affected their stores. Sellers received only one communication about
the tax update, and the relevant information was buried in it.
All you need to do is contact any sellers from whom you can't order, inform
them that they need to enable an onsite payment method, and direct them to the
Forum if they have any questions. You will be doing them, yourself, and lots
of fellow BrickLinkers a great service.
Also, many sellers have conflated onsite payments with Instant Checkout and have
resisted changing their stores for this reason. Instant Checkout is confusing
to implement and imperfect, so try to be understanding. Here is a handy chart
you can use if anyone needs convincing.
Good luck,
Jen

So you want them to break the law just for you? It is required for Bricklink
to collect sales tax. The sellers are the ones who haven't updated their
policies not Bricklink. Why don't you message the sellers telling them what
they need to do. Be part of the solution not part of the problem.

Yeah... On every website you buy online now you put your whole address, email
and phone number. Half of the packets shipped to mine I get a SMS or a call from
the delivery man/woman.
The thing is most BL users that are here more than a few years were not required
to put it on registration, but new ones have it there (optional).
Another problem is you can't add it in your profile: https://www.bricklink.com/pref_address.asp
I found that in XP you have the field available and it saves good to show in
