  Would be useful to have the phone number on the user profile and orders.

Couriers often use it to check if people is home or whether they can leave the
package to a neighbour.

Given we don't even have the tracking number, I basically have no way of
knowing whether the package was delivered to a neighbour or is still in transit.

I believe there is a way to add your phone number to your BrickLink account,
I do not know how to do this and I do not see the option to in my account info,
but I have noticed a lot of the orders I get from newer buyers show their phone
number on the order details page. I have never used it as a seller, but as a
buyer I am sometimes asked to provide a phone number for insurance purposes.

This is what happens:

As for the tracking number, if you paid via PayPal, you should get a shipping
notice when the seller prints the label, if not you can message the seller and
ask for the tracking number, it may just be that there is no tracking number.

Making phone numbers required has been suggested a few times. If this is important
to you please take the time to search for and vote those older suggestions up
too. You never know when the BL dev. team might be able to fit in something other
than tax updates.

  Would be useful to have the tracking number on the website, along with a link
to the courier's site.

Store Settings - Message Templates

In the "Thank you, Drive Thru!" template you can use the tracking number you
enter into order details with ORDERTRACKNO variable. You can embed it into a
link if you want if your tracking site allows it. Once you set it up, it's
just entering the tracking number and sending the drive thru message.

There are tons of different courier people use so it would be a hassle for Bricklink
to get it right. One thing though ; for all those orders utilizing international
postal system there is indeed unified tracking sites like 17track and so on.
Still for Bricklink it should be left to sellers to setup. Before coming to this
Bricklink needs more customization options in the storefront.

  BL has to, by law, collect US Sales Taxes, UK-VAT and EU-VAT.

Is there such a “marketplace law” in Canada yet?

Noy yet, but I have no doubt this will happen eventually.

Me neither… but the subtext was “BL does what is mandatory because BL is running
behind the bus.”

  Hi

I'm a seller for over a year and in the next year I will be legally obligated
to charge sales taxes (GST, HST, QST,..) on all Canadian orders. For the Euro
zone and the USA the taxes are automatically collected by Bricklink. When this
feature will be implemented for us in Canada (5th larger country by number of
stores after USA, UK, Germany and Netherlands)?
It will be more useful and easier to understand for buyers and sellers.

  I'm a seller for over a year and in the next year

Next Year?
February of the current one?

Seller wants taxes added to his prices = decrease in sales?

I'm puzzled here...

Pretty sure it's already in the works. It was mentioned it was in their plans
somewhere on the forum in 2021, when the US taxes were being implemented.
