I know sellers, who have friend outside our contry, and that friend can help
with paying that fee. Most of seller will find the way to pay fee... So those
who can't (or don't want to find a way) - can be deactivated. That will
be better decision.
And just blocking all russian profiles is not only limiting sellers, but also
limiting byuers - kids and AFOLS/thier parents who may play LEGO as their only
way to hide from problems.

Artist can go mad if he will be limited to buy paints and brushes

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.

Exactly, which is why I understand BL restricting Russian to Russian sales also;
because the sellers wouldn't be able to pay their fees.

  I have always been for Bricklink and believed that it was
an independent platform!

It is not independent. It is an American company owned by a large multinational
company based in Denmark. There have been policy changes to align it with LEGO
since LEGO bought it. Unlike McD and similar companies that run as franchises
in Russia, there is no Russian subsidiary that you can deal with that will keep
operating. You cannot use the service because you cannot pay to use the service
due to financial sanctions imposed by most international companies and banks.

  Do you think we like this whole situation in the world?! We are decent people
who understand everything, we are trying to get out of this difficult situation.
We are trying to find alternative solutions! We are generally against everything
that is happening in our country!

You are expression your opinion against the official point of view of Russia.
Isn't that a dangerous thing to do? So far, as I see it you risk 15 years
of prison just by doing so, isn't that so? I really can't imagine what
it must be like to live like this... it must be frustrating and frightening..



I didn't think I'd get this kind of
  news from Bricklink! I have always been for Bricklink and believed that it was
an independent platform!

In general, this is not a reason to turn off Bricklink in Russia due to payment
systems. It's not the Lego fans' fault!

If you close Bricklink, Favorite Cubes will find a way out and we will continue
to trade on or off Bricklink. But a huge number of Lego fans will not do this,
you will simply lose them! Silly! This is Bricklink's stupidest decision
ever! I do not respect this decision!

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
anything! I don't want you to end up in such a mess.

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.

.
This seems like a major change for your shop, are you moving all stock to the
new place in Kazakhstan? Are you also moving yourself to Kazakhstan and live
there?
