Dear BrickLink members,

Due to legal compliance with DAC-7 rules, we are required to collect additional
information from new business sellers in the European Union starting from the
middle of next week. Refer to Article 8ac of the document to find out if you
have the documentation to qualify as a business seller.

https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=CELEX%3A32021L0514

Additional information that we will be collecting includes the following:

- Name of business
- Business registration number, including a supporting document. As different
rules apply for each EU member state, refer to your local authority for more
information
- Tax Identification Number (TIN), including a supporting document:
https://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/tin/#/check-tin
- OSS Number and/ or VAT ID for each country of registration:
https://taxation-customs.ec.europa.eu/online-sellers_en

At the moment, only new business sellers who are registering after the launch
are going to be affected by the new procedure. However, if a current EU seller
changes their country, they will be required to provide additional documentation
as well.

All existing EU business sellers should be aware that these rules will also apply
to them starting from 2024, when the re-verification of existing details will
happen. Until then, we will continue working closely with authorities to establish
the best process for this next step.

Thank you,
BrickLink Team

Dear BrickLink members,

A report has recently surfaced of a possible data breach on our website, BrickLink.com.
We can assure you, our members, that we have seen no evidence of any breach of
our systems and have no reason to believe that the data you entrust us with has
been compromised.

A short while ago, we were approached by a third party who offered their services
to fix several potential security loopholes they had identified. This third party
is not one of our suppliers and we did not request them to provide any analysis
or diagnosis of our systems.

When we did not engage the services of this third party, they apparently released
this “news” that a security breach could have happened on our site. Whereas it
is true that there is always a small possibility that data could be compromised
on any site, we feel this report unfairly portrays our website as unsafe.

We have invested substantially in our security system and are confident in its
ability to keep your data safe. In addition, we strictly follow the LEGO Group
standards for GDPR compliance and other legal requirements regarding the data
of our users.

Thanks for you attention, and please feel free to contact the Help Desk with
any questions you might have.

The BrickLink Team

Hello everyone,

There is a thin yellow banner that pops up to remind you about the upcoming monthly
maintenance. Please notice that the date on the banner is exactly one week later
than usual:

[REMINDER] The site will be down during the monthly maintenance scheduled
at 12/28 from 01:00 AM to 02:00 AM EST.


Thank you.

Hello everyone,

It has been quite a while since we added a new US state to the sales tax list,
but come January 1, 2023, Missouri will also be there:

Please consult this Help Page for an explanation of how Bricklink collects US
sales tax:

This Help Page also touches on refunds, quotes, the store address, and manual
tax settings.
