Post here or PM me, either way is fine.

Thanks for reaching out to the community. Some of us have to manually determine
the sales tax we need to collect and it would be great if the "credit"
column on the orders received page could be a different colour/have a border
to better distinguish it from the "add. charge 2" column to its left.
This will help prevent accidental entries of the sales tax amount in the credit
column and should (it seems) be a simple change.

YES YES! The log from the other site is so helpful to narrow down discrepancies
and mistakes.

If I'm interpreting this correctly, and I'll verify with CRA today, BrickLink
wasn't supposed to be collecting this tax on sellers who were already registered
for GST/HST and we can request a refund not from the CRA, but from BrickLink
and BrickLink will not be able to reclaim this from the CRA because it was an
error in how they collected.

As there has been no update from BrickLink, the CRA recommendations are that
the GST/HST remittance is to be completed without reclaiming the taxes paid on
commissions via input tax credit as they do not believe BrickLink was allowed
to charge taxes, and that BrickLink is to provide refunds on the taxes paid directly
to us (likely a credit on a future commission invoice).

I'm not sure if surprising is the right word, but it's definitely disappointing
that BrickLink still doesn't have confirmation after over 2 weeks. Nor have
they provided the GST/HST # that they are required to disclose. I understand
that complying with tax requirements around the world isn't easy, but the
total lack of communication from BrickLink/LEGO Group since the initial acknowledgement
is a problem. Many sellers stressed the fact that remittance was due month-end,
and most complete it well before the last possible day to ensure no late payments.

Total Items: 193

Does this mean that my order has not shipped out as of yet and is just sitting?

It's very likely to have been caught up as the problem occurred on 10th January.
We have not been able to send international mail in the UK since then until today.
The problem was caused by a ransomware attack on Royal Mail's export systems.
However, I believe that they have been clearing the backlog so it should be on
its way now.

Thank you, Jonathan. I certainly hope so. I just wish the seller had reached
out to me. I have enquired with them, 2 days ago, about the order but have received
no communication back.

Snatched up a lot of minifigs and then when I went to the cart I saw: "via

Shipping should have been somewhere in the mid teens. Theres an arbitrage opportunity
but I can't risk it.

I was not asked how to pay my order....

First one i selected iban transfer, but nothing later..
Second order i chose paypal, but again i was not asked to put my paypal information
so that the payment would proceed..
So, how do i pay my 2 orders?

Read the e-mail Invoices, it must be indicated there?

Or ask the sellers?

Warning: if you're brand new here please carefully select the Shops where
you buy, including reading the Feedbak Profile, prefer shops with a certain number
of transactions, prefer shops with Auto Check Out and Instant payment on site.
Prefer using PayPal, avoid using IBAN; or you won't have much help in case
of any problem.

I assume you ordered at shops without instant checkout; wait for the seller to
send you an invoice which should include information on how to pay.

During the last meeting we were told that the plan for seller tools was scraped
because what was being developed did not fit in with the plan for the new site.
(Yes there is a plan to write a new site). Yes, I am MORE than disappointed that
we, once again, are not getting anything new to help us.

So I am wanting your seller input that can get us a few things now, to work with
this site, to hold us over until the new site is done. My recollection is the
next two years.

I have a few pet peeves that I will be sharing, but I want to hear your annoyances.
I know they are many, hit me. I'll do what I can.

Post here or PM me, either way is fine.

As a result of this progress and the growing capability of our alternative export
solutions, we can now announce that from Thursday 26 January we will be resuming
our International Tracked & Signed as well as International Signed services to
all destinations for business account customers and customers buying postage
online. This includes parcel, large letter and letter formats of these services.
Online shipping solutions will be enabled to allow customers to select these
services, print labels and send items from Thursday 26 January.

Note: Customers in Northern Ireland are also able to submit both export letters
and export parcels for all services bound for Ireland into the Royal Mail network
through all channels. These services are currently only available for customers
based in Northern Ireland.

Delivery of International Tracked & Signed and International Signed items posted
from Thursday 26 January may take slightly longer than usual and customers may
notice different tracking information as items leave the UK.

We continue to ask customers not to submit any new Tracked or Untracked (Standard/Economy)
export parcels into our network just yet. We are aiming to provide further updates
on these services in the coming days.
