I've noticed that sometimes the prices in NOK are not sorted correctly (price
low high)

In the two screenshots it looks like one shop is pricing in EUR and that price
is converted to NOK and is sorted correctly. The other looks like it's pricing
in NOK, which is converted in EUR and is sorted incorrectly. Exchange rates are
the same 0.9911.63 is same as 2.3527.50

I have only noticed this behaviour with shop's from Norway. Why is this?

NOK, Nokia Oyj shares?

NOK NOK, whos there?

A Norwegian?

Are maybe someone doubling down on Nokia Oyj shares

Okay, I get it, Norwegian Krone

Euro conversions have been somewhat wonky for
reasons outside the sphere of influence of BL and third party, and beyond whatever
site issue there might also be.

Great!!! That happened to me not too long ago! Celebrating with you!

Congrats! Don’t forget to celebrate with pizza!!!

Thank you! We may actually celebrate with a foot long at Subway!

There it is! Finally a foodie I can relate to here...

Italian BMT; no lettuce, heavy tomatoes, heavy onions, vinegar on the meat side
and the oil on the veggie side, toasted of course

That sounds good! I might try it the next time I go!

My personal favorite is:
Regular white bread with pepper jack cheese and steak (also toasted). Along with
lettuce, tomato, onions, mayo, and a sweet onion sauce. It makes for the perfect
lunch!

I just might give that a try too. Thanks!

How about getting you a brick now? That yellow brick would look pretty good on
your ID card alongside that interesting pic

You've been around long enough,
might be time

Got someone asking to purchase a single part lot with a pre-shipping order value
of 120 USD. I'd like to try and oblige this member, if I can...

My question concerns the up-to-date rules as applied here to distance
selling with the UK. Not certain about UK cross-border buying protocols, anymore.

~ As seller, will I need to electronically insert proof of taxes-paid into the
customs form (IOSS) in order to avoid the buyer being double taxed?

~ If taxation is applicable to such an order, will taxes be processed within
the order itself, or garnered from the buyer on the receiving end?

Thanks in advance

Help pages notwithstanding, if any UK member would care to offer empirical
input it would be appreciated. Thanks

It's really straightforward

BrickLink will automatically collect the UK VAT (under GBP135).
You will receive an e-mail with the VAT receipt, and can download the PDF from
the order page if not recevied.
Print it and attach it in a transparent document pocket outside.
Fill a normal CN22 or CN23 form.

This. Specifically for UK - this is enough. Your PayPal payment will have a 'Partner
Fee' section for this, which will be forwarded to BL's PP account immediately.
You will have to attach a VAT invoice to the outside of the package - you will
see it on the order page + will receive an email from BL with a .pdf

No need to attach anything electronically to your shipping label.

Thank you, guys!

I'll take both of your inputs as empirical and as an affirmation of the updated
help page. Very helpful. Thanks again

I may be mistaken but I think to the UK you don’t need IOSS but rather just printout
the VAT receipt and include it on the package. At the top of the order whenever
taxes (except to the USA) are applied you will have additional options at the
top of the order that let you know what to do. Picture 1 is from a UK order I
had which only prompts me to include the VAT receipt (which I download and print
out on 1 or several shipping labels and apply to the package just like the
normal label) and then in image 2 which went to the Netherlands I needed to also
include IOSS in addition to the receipt.

As for your 2nd question, yes if bricklink collects taxes they are collected
on the order itself just like USA sales tax unless it exceeds some $ amount which
varies by country in which case the buyer is charged it on delivery

Thanks. But this doesn't help to advance my understand beyond what I already
knew, in what to expect from the specific order details presented...

"if bricklink collects" "exceeds some $ amount"
"varies by country"

The effort is always appreciated though. Thanks again

These are specific numbers

Thanks, Jason. But as I highlighted "up-to-date" is what I'm
looking for here.

When you do go purple, celebrate with some music, old school

My son's girlfriend just bought the Prince LP over the weekend during our
visit. Fun listening to vinyl again

It'll be fun to see your veteran profile ID card with the purple brick.

Same here. You get, what is it, about 6 weeks to pay it so there really shouldn't
be any excuse to missing it. Especially if going away, paying it before leaving
is sensible. You don't have to remember once you are back.

One feature that might be helpful here is the ability to pre-pay fees.

+1

AutoPay set-up, as available with most other services today, might be nice too

Many sites have automated billing yes,

also they could implement more payment methods with less fees that would bring more revenue for them...

More payment methods with less fees? Not something to argue with

Though still
trying to understand "bring more revenue for them" Who's them,
and how would it do that for them?

Much more... with the extra planning development test deployment accounting costs
to save say 2% of 3%... they may start to save money in 5 or 10 years maybe?

Interesting. Thanks
