  Hello all, hopefully someone can help me out.
Hopefully this is in the right place.
I am new and setting up my bricklink store, I would like to manually invoice
anyone who buys from me, just until I can work out all the postage costs that
I would have.

Another question is how do I go about allowing cash payments on pick up for local
buyers as I have been selling individual pieces on facebook market place (people
send me their list of parts and I check if I have them and get back to them with
a cost) or is this not allowed?

I have now opened my store, the Invoices should be set up correctly, if not I'm
sure I will get a message about it.

I will continue to sell through other means, but in my time doing so I have found
that it takes so long to fill large orders as I need to look up every part, then
check to see if I have it (unless i'm sure that I do or don't have it).
So for that reason I will encourage people to buy from me through bricklink.

Fair question. We refunded through the order, not PayPal. Since Bricklink is
collecting sales tax on our behalf. Aren’t they responsible for refunding any
partial refunds as well, the buyer equated to 10.95 due back. We as sellers,
in my opinion shouldn’t be held responsible for that if said entity is collecting
on our behalf. Without even knowing what that particular persons sales tax is,
as city, state, counties, all have different sales tax structures. Or does the
buyer get it back from Bricklink just not at the same time we issue the partial

I help desk messaged, but we all know how far that goes here.

One could thing you can do is that you request to remove that part(s) from the
order and the buyer has to approve this.
https://www.bricklink.com/retractOrderItem.asp

After you do this, the total in your order and the sales tax will be adjusted
at the same time and you can more easily figure out the total (remaining) you
need to refund.

Not when you use instant checkout like we do, the order is paid for and then
if we are missing something it takes us to where we are with a partial refund
and the sales tax question. I’d say that was ok for those manually invoicing
buyers.

As far as I can tell this answer is still true
https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1307761

Copied here:
   Yes, the BrickLink refund page shows the amount that comes from the seller and
the amount that comes from Bricklink.

The problem is that the page cuts the tax amount from the refund amount submitted
by the seller, this means that the seller has to play over/under with the submitted
amount to refund the correct amount for the missing parts since it needs to include
the tax in the first place which isn't intuitive.

Instead they should have added the tax amount refunded by BrickLink to the submitted
refund amount by the seller. I don't know what they were going for with this.

In Problem Order, SezaR writes:
  I have a situation with a buyer and I think other sellers may want to know this
and stoplist him.
I also guess the buyer could already be in my stoplist and this is his second
account. I have many buyers on my stoplist and cannot check this easily.

He has zero feedback and ordered the set
 
Set No: 7750  Name: Steam Engine
* 
7750-1 (Inv) Steam Engine
254 Parts, 2 Minifigures, 1980
Sets: Train: 12V
for price $469.99 USD. This is the lowest price for this set on BL.
Shipping costs (from Canada to USA): $19.74 USD
From the get-go, I had a feeling something was not right for this order so I
took many photos (I don't take photos in general). I only upload one photo
here (the bag in which the wheels were included).
After he received the order, he wrote me that one wheel was broken
 
Part No: 4180c05  Name: Brick, Modified 2 x 4 with Red Wheels, Train Spoked Large (29mm D.) and Red Pins (4180 / wheel4 / 2344)
* 
4180c05 (Inv) Brick, Modified 2 x 4 with Red Wheels, Train Spoked Large (29mm D.) and Red Pins (4180 / wheel4 / 2344)
Parts: Wheel
and that he bought the part from Ebay (from a seller in Germany) and requested
me to refund $35.53 USD (shipping and tax included)!! He attached two photos
(see the second and third photo attached here)
Note that I sell this part for $19.89 and based on his photo, only the pin and
wheel-holder was broken and their value is $1-2 USD.
As I sell big sets, about 100 times customers claimed something was missing or
broken and I always believed them and fixed the issue but in this case, I certainly
don't believe the wheel in his photo was the one I sold him. This wheel does
not break so easily, specially if it is inside a bag together with many other
parts and the Lego was wrapped with bubble mailers too and was packaged inside
a small box. (I pack sets in small boxes because larger boxes tend to get crushed
specially if they are not full)
If you have had these train wheels, you know that they are not likely to break.
How come the pin of the wheel is broken inside the package but the wheel
 
Part No: wheel4  Name: Train Wheel Spoked Large (29mm D.) with FreeStyle Pin Hole
* 
wheel4 Train Wheel Spoked Large (29mm D.) with FreeStyle Pin Hole
Parts: Wheel
is intact?!

So the buyer decided that since something was missing, he could just go ahead
and buy the part from elsewhere for whatever price and the seller did not need
to know and agrees this but had to refund the buyer for all the costs of his
purchase!(what?) What company agrees to refund this way?! Amazon, Lego.com, playmobile,
Samsung, BMV,...?
Based on his logic, what if 4 parts where missing or broken? Then would he
assume the seller is supposed to refund like $100 USD?!

I certainly don't believe he actually bought or or maybe he simply wanted
to buy and have an extra wheel.

I had checked the parts twice before shipping and the wheels were ok. I wrote
him back that the parts were ok when I shipped them and I have photos but I can
sent him replacement for the broken pin and wheel-holder.

This time, he replied me that the box was delivered damaged because there
were not enough packaging material and he does not want the replacement parts
and he will leave an appropriate feedback.

The money is not that important but I did not refund him because this is not
correct and I do not believe any of his words. I just consider this as an attempt
for scam and will never comply to this.

I replied that my packages were never arrived so damaged in a way that one part
was broken but in any case, the package was fully insured and if he sends
me photo of damaged package, I can file a claim for partial refund from the shipping
company (UPS mail innovation) and that they always check with their own photos
and notes of postmen to make sure the claim is legitimate and would eventually
issue a refund.

No more message from him, so he does not want the replacement parts, he does
not want to send me photo of the damaged package (guess why) and now, he left
me my first negative.

"Paid $540 USD for train shipped in a flimsy box w/no cushioni. Had broken
part."


By the way, the price of set was $469.99 USD and the total with shipping and
tax was $521.56 USD and not $540 USD.

I reply to this thread and add our correspondences.

I spend thousands of dollars a year on eBay and other collector sites buying
and selling on eBay and when someone orders an expensive item like this one and
when someone spends $540 (includes customs tax)you don't ship their item
in a flimsy beat up amazon box that it barely fits in with no cushioning to protect
it. This was a gift for my son who had to wait weeks for it to arrive and was
upset that it was broken so I ordered the same wheel from eBay when a seller
is careless in sending something the right way the 1st time I'm not going
to wait weeks in hopes that they might actually send a replacement part. The
bottom line is if you took a bit of care in wrapping up the item and didn't
have an attitude about it and make threats to me about getting sellers to blacklist
me here on Bricklink you wouldn't have gotten negative feedback. You have
a bad attitude and a fusing me of trying to extort or scam for m you for 30 something
dollars is an absolute joke and an insult. Just because I am new to Bricklink
doesn't make me a bad person. I do not tolerate ignorance for m anyone, especially
from rude people like you. This was my 1st purchase here and will be my last
thanks to you and your ignorance.

no, you can't get full-year data from there, despite BL telling us, forever,
that you could.

You can't get detail information (e.g. what items you ordered), but you can
definitely get totals - simply change the date range under "Include only orders

What more are you looking for? You can get all the individual invoices for all
the purchase after six months (never have been able to), but that link gives
you a break down of shipping, tax, totals and other stuff. You can get this
for both your orders and your sales.

You can download all the “headers” of your orders: ID, date(s), seller info,
shipping, charges & coupons/credits, taxes, total number of lots, total number
of items, payment method.

What is purged is the details of the lots & items.

I just checked and downloaded all my placed orders sinced I registered in 2014
(actually just set the from year to 2013).  It works.

I received an order that requires manual invoicing even though I have a instant

Thanks again for the help,

P.S. Is there a way to prevent manual invoicing?


Huh, what is the reason something would not be eligible for instant checkout?
I guess I have four items that can't be sold that way, a random random minifig,
a random instruction book, a box and a set (both of which are in my inventory
and not for sale yet).

It's usually down to missing weight and/or dimensions in the catalog for
those items.
Without that data, Instant Checkout can't work out how to ship the item.

Ah, OK. They are fairly new items, this would explain it.

No it's not automatic and it's very easy to miss.

When you checkout you can select a coupon to use on Step 3 Payment the coupon
chooser is at the bottom of that screen.

"Before submitting an order in a store, a buyer is alerted if there are any
open coupons for the buyer in that store and given an option to redeem the coupon
on the order they are submitting. If there are 2 or more open coupons then the
buyer is presented with a selection of which one to use. The buyer does not have
to redeem a coupon and can save it instead to use on another order."

I have posted this issue in the past, there is still no simple solution.

I'm a seller. Everything I buy here is technically for resale, and I have
a tax# for that. But BL is collecting sales tax on every purchase; they have
yet to start collecting tax#'s from any of us.

I went to the download section, no details, just totals, and still only get 6
months of data. And paypal separates taxes (partner fee) when you sell, but not
when you buy. Every penny of taxes BL has sucked out of me is due back to me;
I have to file with my state, but I have to calc the total first.

I was told more than once that order totals don't get purged after 6 months;
they lied. I printed out the last 6 months on Jan 1st, but now I have to figure
out the 1st 6 months.

  Just FYI to turn off manual invoicing as an option you need to:

1 - make sure there are no non-Instant Checkout items in your store (you can
do a search of your inventory to find them), and

2 - turn off the "Backup for Instant Checkout" setting on your store Management
page.

If you do 2 without 1, then there will be times that buyers can't check out.

  Hi Bricklink,

I received an order that requires manual invoicing even though I have a instant
checkout store. I just want to double check that I am doing the "Sales Tax Seller
Collected" box right. Since the buyer is from a state not on the Implementation
of US State/Territory Sales Tax list, I just leave this at $0.00, right? The
"Tax BL Collected" is already auto-filled with "N/A" which I can not change.

Thanks again for the help,

Upstate_Brickz

P.S. Is there a way to prevent manual invoicing?

Awesome, Thank you!

Thumbs up for this!

Not true.

As peregrinator suggested, please speak to a tax professional. It will be well
worth your time and put you at ease about this.

Here is the wording of the new law on the IRS website; "Separate reporting of
these transactions is not required. However, you should follow the return instructions
on the form you are completing to report your gross receipts or sales. You should
report items that qualify as a trade or business expense on the appropriate line
item of Schedules C, E and F." Since most of us are not businesses we will not
get to use the forms for expenses, hence we will have to report the gross amount
as income.

Again, this is why I strongly advise you to consult with an accountant. This
aspect of the law hasn't changed, by the way. I don't think the law foresees
individuals making more than the occasional sale online.

  If it really works like that, that would be very strange indeed. I know that
the Dutch tax agency only counts profit as income in that situation. I know there
are vastly different rules in different countries but you would think that it's
universal maths that private possessions (all taxes paid) being turned back into
money doesn't count as "income"...

If you sell something you own for less than you paid for it, you don't have
to pay taxes on it, if you sell it for more than you paid for it, you have to
pay taxes on the difference as capital gains:

I'd strongly advise hobby sellers in the USA to consult an accountant. I
don't think you would pay income tax on the whole $2,000 for an item you
originally bought for $1,500.

Here is the wording of the new law on the IRS website; "Separate reporting of
these transactions is not required. However, you should follow the return instructions

If you first change the order status to "Ready" then you can change it to "Paid"
and "Shipped". I hope this helps.

Hello, I wanted to ask if this problem could be solved in the meantime, because
I have the same problem now and don't know what to do. Can anyone tell how
I can solve the problem?

I'll presume that I 'messed up some setting somewhere' since every

You have reached the browsing limit. There is an unspecified limited number of
store pages you may visit in a day or so. Try again tomorrow and you will be
good to go for a while.

  Quick question: I remember in the past, sellers were able to change the payment
status manually if a payment came through in a different way than the buyer originally
selected. However, this seems to be no longer the case.

I have an order (from mid-December) where the buyer selected Paypal Onsite as
the payment method, but they ended up paying directly via Paypal (at least I
think this is what happened). Because BL didn't recognize the payment coming
through, the Payment Status column still shows as "None", and I can't change
it. This also means that I can't show the item as shipped, and I can't
file the order away either.

I was able to add the tracking number, the order has been delivered, BL fees
have been charged, so there are no issues on any of those fronts. However, because
I can't change any of the settings, it seems like my only option is to wait
six months until the order naturally falls off my dashboard.

Is there a way I can mark this order as paid and shipped, and file the order
away?

Thanks for any help with this, and Happy New Year!

Was the seller from the US or another location where Taxes or VAT are charged?
If so, then they have to pay through the BL Onsite so that proper fees and such
can be withheld. If they paid via Paypal offsite then they bypassed this collection.

Are you able to change it using the Edit Order button?
Open the order and scroll all the way to the bottom of the page to find Edit
Order (see pic).

I have a number of orders go by pickup. But the payment is always through Paypal.
I don't want to handle cash on my doorstep. And there is the issue of ensuring
proper sales taxes are collected.
