| Thanks everyone for your input... still no word from Admin... but I think I'll

But do I allow PayPal and USA sales with taxes charged??? Or just stick with
Canada?

| | Hi all. I have to know why my store was suspended???!!!
If it's cause of a USA teenager who bought from my store and then said I
was a scammer cause I don't take paypal,, then this better be rectified right
away because that is allowed to not take paypal and I didn't scam anyone!!!
Admin, please contact me right away! Everyone who knows me in the LEGO community
knows who I am and I've never scammed anyone!
I also have a NPB against this teenager who shouldn't be allowed on this
site. Then their negative feedback will be removed!
PLEASE HELP ME!!!

But actually, I don't have to charge tax to USA buyers and that's legal
cause I'm in Canada. I work for a 50 year old company of sporting goods.
We only sell to Canada and USA. When a USA buyer buys from the website, they
are NEVER charged taxes and can check out with the purchase price and shipping
is the only thing added. We don't charge taxes and leave it to the boarder
and the buyer to pay the taxes if it's needed.
|
Dosnt the buyer pay the tax need thru bricklink now tho. Even tho the seller
isn’t required to collect it bricklink now is required to and as such the buyer
has to pay bricklink whenever they purchase thru bricklink (or any site that
deals in sales volume over x amount of dollars) so technically you wouldn’t be
collecting the sales tax but bricklink would on behalf of the buyer.
|
Yes maybe your right... But can't a BrickLink admin tell us about these
things and help their customers, (Us Sellers who pay their bills.), what we
need to change to make it all work out???
I'm afraid to use PayPal now because of sellers being scammed and screwed
by buyers who lie and PayPal gives them their money back and the seller loses
the item and shipping!!!
|
I do agree that for parties involved there should be better info given. As for
PayPal I’ve used it for about 7.5k transactions and haven’t been scammed once
yet. We typically only hear of the horror stores but buyers can file claims pretty
much any way they pay. I’ve actually had someone try to scam me on PayPal but
PayPal actually stepped in and protected me from the buyer and I didn’t have
to give any refunds
|
Yes I have a great reputation with PayPal and they have always sided with me...
but I shouldn't have to fight, worry and stress about that stuff. So it's
easier for my life to just not. I don't have to sell to USA either. And
Canada post already killed my overseas business cause of increased prices. 😔
|
You should see if you have a chit chats near you. If you use them you can ship
stuff fully tracked overseas for as little as $10 to some countries
|
We actually do,,, but the one near me has a very bad reputation and bad feedback
for over charging and losing packages!!! They need to improve before I can trust
them.

Wow. Too far, dude. He’s been on BL far longer then you and I. That was just
rotten sounding. You sound like you are trying to parent a 5 year old who got
his finger pinched in the cookie jar lid. That was just a bit too far.
|
It has nothing to do with parenting or judging, it was making a point. If
the site admins fell like you won't make an effort to correct mistakes they
won't reinstate your selling or buying privileges. It's happened in
the past and we know they read comments in the forum as well so if you say you
don't care or compare it to another business and make it sound like you won't
fix it in the future, they could easily say they won't let you sell again.
Also, just because I haven't been on this platform doesn't mean that
I have no knowledge of the process from an outside view or another platform or
business. I'm just making a statement based on the information provided.
|
I have no problem fixing ANYTHING I did wrong or mistakes in my store. I was
NEVER told why they closed my store. So I'm waiting for an answer. This way
maybe an admin will notice and help me fix it.
I'm used to the old ways on here so didn't know I had to do it their
way. I can either stop Selling to USA buyers like I have for overseas buyers
cause of high shipping prices. Or put paypal back on my store and open it up
to everyone.
Thanks for your help and knowledge.
Peace,
James

Are you working for a franchise company that is "owned" by someone in Canada?
If this is the case, then that is you delta. BL is a USA based company and
has to abide by US law. Even though they are owned by TLC, they are US based.

My store is based in Canada, so I don't charge a USA buyer any taxes.
|
You might look at it from another angle, James: Practically speaking, it’s BrickLink
that “charge a USA buyer any taxes” via third party arrangements.
You, as representing today’s online vendor, do not determine, apply to invoice
(charge) or have access to any tax-funds collected for remittance.
As it stands currently, the site can only fulfill what is now an obligation,
by using the payment process. The Onsite method, contractually allows for this.

Hi there. Yes you're right. So I either stop selling to USA buyers, or
conform and risk stress and pain. 😔

But your store is on a platform that is based in the US. You are selling on
a platform that is US based and this is the key piece. Unless you are brick
and mortar with your own order system, you have to abide by the rules and laws
by the country of origin.
|
I get you point. Maybe I have to stop USA sales, or conform. Shame cause I have
such great stuff still to list.

But BL is a marketplace, and has to make sure buyers pay taxes in front,
since relatively recently.
Your Company may not do distant sales, or has another status that authorizes
what they do, apparently.
On the other side, every shop owner should receive an e-mail or a message explainging
even in a few words why the shop has been closed.
But also, we're in August; it's not a "normal" period

Hope the attachment works,, but this is all I got from BL on my profile page...

want better communication, integrity and customer service from who runs it now.
Some people's LIVES depend on Bricklink so if poor decisions are made about
a person's store, it can't be taken lightly and needs to be human in
it's handling of such major decisions! This is OUR Bricklink!!!

Oh boy!! It’s getting intense!! I can’t wilt to see how far this goes! I’m in
support of that, though! The oldest users practically built bricklink with Daniel.
Shouldn’t they have more of a say then they do now? You got my name on the petition!

You think it is getting intense now. You should have been here 10 years ago.
Nothing going on here compared to then. We did help build bricklink but I do
not think that entitles us to anything. We did it for a love of Lego. Dan had
all the right ideas (except naming Bricklink BrickBay.) So many of my pictures
and inventories were used in the early days, but I did not think there was anything
owed to me. I just enjoyed being around others that love Lego and was happy
to help.

Agreed. But it should help us get a little more respect and communication from
an admin to explain what we might be doing wrong with these new rules and stuff.

| | Bricklink is in the US though, and that's where the transaction takes place.
Your choices seem to be, ship to the US and allow them to tax their citizens
based on their laws, or don't ship to the US..
eBay has started collecting tax on Canadian purchases as well, so I'm sure
Bricklink is not far behind.

| | As I put on your facebook post, I suspect the reason for your suspension is that
you say you're ok shipping to the US, but advertised that because you don't
take paypal, they would be avoiding the tax.
Bricklink can't allow users to break a law in a country that bricklink operates
in.

It is possible that the post's that say we will work something out because
you don't accept PayPal set off a red flag that you might , I said might,
be circumventing BL's fees. I am not accusing you, but it gives the impression
that you might be making deals based on orders on BL that are collected outside
of BL.
|
Oh yes I see what you mean. Never had a deal outside of here but I wish I could
sell to other states that are blocked from my store without that auto payment
thing.
Thanks,
James
