| | Another buyer and I with the same last name got our orders mixed up. I have his
order and he has mine. I understand the mix up, but the seller will not even
respond to either of us to fix this problem. I clicked on Report problem on the
order form, but it only says
Send message (done multple times) (the other buyer and I have made contact twice)
&
File a non-shipping alert.
Where is the non-responding seller?
The other buyer and I could mail each other their items but I would be out priority
mail cost to the 1st class shipping cost of my original package and both of us
have already paid shipping to the selling store HHH Brick Depot.
Can BL help with this or not?

I suggest you take your loss of the cost of shipping to each other, then at least
that problem is solved.
Of course start a NSS or NRS with the seller, but if that will resolve much
is uncertain. I don't think BL can do much or anything at all, what would
you like them to do?

Both? Bu-but you can't possibly have both together at the same time - I mean,
can you?
Anyway, BrickLink fees are simple, straight and reasonnable, which is the good
way to make business in the long run.
And this is also why many of us do love BrickLink.
So, stop complaining  and please stay away from eBay dear John!
And please PM me about this story one could get "both"  )
Take care of you.

I cannot stay away from ebay. I am selling my huge collection of Simpsons.
I started with over 4200 different Simpsons items, from Kidrobot figures, Neca,
toasters, bowling balls, dinner ware, and fine china.. And I am selling my Wizkids
Star Trek Attack Wing and Heroclix. I had both lines complete and the Attack
Wing is selling very quickly. So I need ebay more than ebay needs me.

Clearly, that's why they charge so much ebay knows you need them 
Power to the OMP's!!

Well, obviously I can't give any details but also obviously I have emails
to prove this. Emails from shipping company / customs that shipment was on hold
until taxes were paid. Despite the fact that local state taxes were already paid
to BrickLink through PayPal.
|
Can you tell us what was the amount (of the product)?
|
Nope, no details, sorry.

It's not the same because U.S. customs won't try to collect state sales
tax when packages from outside the U.S. are delivered into the U.S. You won't
have a U.S. buyer come to you saying, "hey! They wouldn't give me my package
unless I paid sales tax/customs duties! I want a refund!"
|
Not true. They do.
|
If someone is telling you this, then they are lying to you. US customs will
only hold something if they fell it is illegal or otherwise a problem. They
have nothing to do with sales taxes as they are each managed at the state level.

The EU wants to get a piece of the pie of small sales. Simple as that. In total
this small trades are a huge amount of money. The rest of the world however has
to deal with these new EU rules, do you really think they like doing that?

Local Tax money is travelling all over the world through accounts of people that
have nothing to do with it. And we have only to hope it all goes well.
In the meantime, the 10 richest men in the world has seen their wealth grown
by 100% in just 1 Corona year. There is something really really wrong with the
monetary system.

It's illegal, but who is going to pay for the laywer to prove that?!?
As long as no one does, it can and will continue.

It sounds like your local government agency doesn't know what it is doing
then, if they are charging VAT on every order that you import even if VAT is
already collected and displayed correctly.
|
It happens here too. Even the VAT invoice is attached. So i stopped buying outside
of EU till this is cleared
|
So long as BL is supplying sellers with the correct documentation there is not
really any more they can do. The cannot teach incompetent government systems
or officials.
|
So basically, people from the EU will stop buying outside EU. This will damage
a lot the non-EU sellers.
|
Do you really think the EU cares? Money going outside EU is a loss for businesses
inside EU, so they prefer(!) that you buy inside EU.
| |
However, what is the case that the seller did NOT attach the VAT invoice?
Because in this last case the seller did not attach anything and he claims that
bricklink did never send him a VAT invoice.
Is this possible?

| | We shipped an order to Italy and included the VAT invoice.
The buyer says that they had to pay VAT again when they picked up their package
and now want us to refund them the VAT.
Our response was, so far, to tell them that we had included the VAT invoice as
we are supposed to do and that we can send them a copy of the VAT invoice by
email so that they can request that the taxes they paid in Italy be refunded
as they had already been paid.
We're waiting for their response but wondering how to handle this, if the
Italian authorities do not want to refund them I imagine they would have to get
in touch with Bricklink since we did not receive the amount for the VAT so we
can't refund it. How does this work in this case?
|
Sorry for you this situation. For sure it's a local Italy issue, not yours.
Not the first time this happens and not the last too I guess. This whole implementation
of BrickLink is terrible. Local VAT/Tax charged by BrickLink, paid by buyer to
seller and then confiscated again by PayPal, transferring it to BrickLink again.
It's a circus.

Now now, a bit harsh reponse don't you think? The OP meant it well.
|
So did I (meant it well, that is). From your reaction, I get now that someone
could read it as scoffing too but it’s just a genuine interrogation on what OP
meant by “not printed” (which I think is clear I took as “not physical” while
OP meant “written by hand,” as it was clarified in the next messages).
It’s the usual pitfall of written communication: the tone is missing and each
adds their own¹.
I’ll try to add more clues from now on.
|
Well, it could have been my mood of the moment that read it like such. No hard
feelings I hope

great but captain Haddock didn’t have the same voice as in the book.”)
