If you would like to change the country your store is associated with, you will
need to change the main address on your account first:
https://www.bricklink.com/pref_address.asp
Then, you would need to change your store address, which is found on your store
management page:
https://www.bricklink.com/v2/mystore/management.page
After changing countries, you would need to go through the New Seller Verification
process again. This would require proof of address in the new country.

Ok, Russell. Thx.
We work hard last month and open Limited Liability Partnership in Kazakhstan.
This gave us a chance to continue working with our foreign customers. Now we
will move the Bricklink Store to this country. There are all the necessary documents
and an address to confirm the existence in this country.
Admin_Russell, I and all guys from Favorite Cubes kindly ask you to make the
address change confirmation fast, as we cannot wait 1-2 weeks.

Well, there are many many people losing much more due to the current circumstances.
Losing home, jobs, family, friends, life... so. This is how it works, sad as
it is. You know who to blame.

You will change the attitude of good people who are fans of Bricklink and Lego!
There are many good people in Russia in the real sense! You just don't know

| | Dear BrickLink members,
The LEGO Group released the following statement regarding the war in Ukraine.
Our thoughts are with all the children and families suffering as a result of
the war in Ukraine.
Our priority is the safety of all our colleagues. We are in contact with our
Ukrainian team and are providing ongoing support to ensure their safety. We are
also working to support other colleagues around the world impacted by the escalating
crisis including our team in Russia.
We have paused shipments of products to Russia given the extensive disruption
to the operating environment.
We care deeply about the lasting impact on children and together with the LEGO
Foundation and Ole Kirk’s Fond, we will donate DKK 110 million (approx. USD 16.5
million) to emergency relief efforts, with a focus on providing support for children
and families. The donation will be made to existing partners, including the United
Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), Save the Children, and the Danish Red Cross.
This is a volatile and constantly evolving situation which we are monitoring
closely.
What does this mean for BrickLink?
The global payment platforms we use on BrickLink are currently not available
in Russia and deliveries to and from the country are severely disrupted. Given
this, buying and selling activities in Russia will be temporarily deactivated.
Members impacted by this will be informed individually.
We are grateful for everyone in our community and never imagined we would face
a situation such as this or witness the heartbreak and devastation we’re seeing
in Ukraine.
Please continue to adhere to our community guidelines and show each other respect
and support.
Thank you for your understanding.

Thanks for the update!

The issue here is can you pay your fees? Yes, you can keep selling to other Russian
buyers (at least while you have stock, as LEGO have halted shipments to your
country) and they can pay using a domestic payment method. But can you pay for
using the service? With all regulated international financial systems blocking
money moving in and out of Ryssia, you cannot. It may seem stupid, but is it
fair on other sellers if they have to pay fees whereas Russians can build up
large debts without paying.

Well, what do you expect them to do considering current events? It's not
exactly easy (or possible in some cases) to exchange money and items with Russia.
And it seems like Russian sellers have no way to pay their fees currently, so
that adds a problem too.
|
Russians could sell to other Russians without postage or payment problems, and
they have continued to be allowed to do so all this time. It seems it is the
not being able to pay the fees issue that caused the action here.

It's not the real problem.
I'm not even sure of this info at this point; but this to YOU to search and
be sure.
The other point is WHY?
I mean, OK say you've 5% or 10% fees and shipping, it's not going to
make a big difference (apart if you're really close to this threshold of
10K€).
If you really wish to stay under the threshold, and if you're not rarely
selling International, it's going to be VERY complicated.
Suppose on October you're at 7950€ and you get a 2000€ order.
You're now at 9950€!
So, you will have to close your shop for the 2 remaining months in order
to stay above.
Is this really how you want to manage it?

The stores in Russia will suffer, but the bigger picture, including the financial

a way to let Russian stores sell to buyers within Russia.

We explored a range of options, including whether it was possible to keep stores
open, but decided the best approach for now, given that global payment platforms
are unavailable, was to temporarily deactivate stores.

Congratz barando!
Now that you are a translator, you may be help me out as I am sometimes in trouble.
When trying to translate from English to German and vice versa to communicate
with German sellers on Ebay, sometimes things do not go as expected. For example,
we have this part:
that is called "sleeper".
But sometimes, when I use translation from its German word, via google translation
page, it gets translated to something like "lovers"! Worst is when I put an English
text and sleepers gets translated to something I don't mean. I am not sure
to what word it gets translated and what word should be used in German, but can
you also help me out?
|
When you use Google Translate for translating a word that may have multiple meanings,
try to be more specific in what you are asking Google to translate. Having a
context is required for understanding and thus for properly translating.
Like "sleeper" - "Schläfer" - "sleeper (someone who sleeps)"
But "railway sleeper" - "Eisenbahnschwelle"
with "railway" - "Eisenbahn"
suggest it could be "Schwelle" which translates back to "threshold", so "Eisenbahnschwelle"
is the more appropriate translation.

Interesting you actually wrote a very serious comment but for what times do you
apply your sense of humor?

To translate concepts or specialized equipement or even proverbs, I use wikipedia.
For example I searched in Dutch for the word: "dwarsligger" (literally translated
in English thwart)
https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dwarsligger_(spoor)
found the English version by clicking for the language English
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Railroad_tie
Or clicking German
https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bahnschwelle

Shipping, VAT and

Does the answer above stand for all EU member states?
|
AFAIK, yes.
| | Is it 100% sure that shipping
costs and any additional fees are not the part of the 10K?
|
AFAIK, yes.
And BrickLink tells you so

costs and any additional fees are not the part of the 10K? Are these not part
of the calculations by BrickLink or by my local Tax Authorities? It can make
a big difference…

Thanks Tanja, great reading (though it seems to me that a few answers are only
understandable if you already know the answer…  ).
For the last question “What does it mean to be a ‘Global Marketplace Owner’,”
I think it actually was a very litteral question on the “owner” term / position.
Few non-native speakers or people not involved with international corporations
know “owner” does not only mean “proprietor” but also “skipper” or “leader”
