| An email was sent out a few hours ago concerning the new requirements for EU
sellers regarding VAT registration. I am reposting the email here for those who
may have missed it.
Email Preview: Action may be required if you have reached the new EU VAT distance
sales of goods threshold in the preceding 12 months EU VAT Registration Guidelines
Dear BrickLink member,
Following the implementation of the new EU VAT e-commerce rules for online marketplaces,
BrickLink is asking each seller who has reached, or expects to reach, the new
EUR 10 000 distance sales of goods threshold for the preceding 12 months to ensure
they are compliant with their EU VAT registration obligations and provide proof
of registration.
Changes at a glance:
• The previous thresholds for distance sales of goods to buyers in other EU Member
States (EUR 35 000 or 100 000, depending on the Member State) has been abolished
and replaced by a new EU-wide threshold of EUR 10 000.
• Below this threshold, you can continue to apply the domestic rules for VAT
on your cross-border sales. If your sales are above this threshold, you are liable
for VAT in the Member State where your buyers are located. Alternatively, you
can register for the One Stop Shop (OSS) – where you can register for VAT in
one Member State and pay the VAT due in other Member States.
• For more information, please see the European Commission article on this topic
here: https://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/business/vat/online-sellers_en
What this means for you:
• If your sales in the preceding 12 months are above the new EUR 10 000 distance
sales of goods threshold, you will need to register for the OSS or in each individual
EU Member State where you sell on BrickLink.
• If BrickLink determines or receives notification that you are not meeting your
VAT obligations within 30 days after receiving this notice, this will result
in the suspension of your selling abilities on BrickLink.
• Once registered for VAT, you will need to enter a valid VAT and/or OSS registration
number in your Store Settings page within the Management tab and enable VAT in
your settings.
This material has been prepared for informational purposes only, and is not intended
to provide, and should not be relied on for advice. Please speak with a tax professional
if you have any questions about your tax obligations. BrickLink does not assume
any responsibility in terms of determining or notifying sellers about their VAT
registration obligations.
Thank You,
The BrickLink Team

| Dear BrickLink members,
Because of the severe nature of the spam in our Forum today, we will need to
take steps to prevent excessive posting from new members. In the past we have
not placed limits because we wanted to keep the door open to new members who
may have issues that are not resolved with one or two posts.
Obviously, it's going to take some time to cancel all the spam from today.
Please bear with us, and contact me personally if you have any idea who you think
is behind this attack.
Thank you.

| Over the past weeks, we’ve been working hard alongside the fan designers to finish
the details for the BrickLink Designer Program projects. Unfortunately, due to
unforeseen complexities, we didn’t quite get there with Mountain View Observatory.
This has caused us to have to change things a bit.
We're sorry to share that Mountain View Observatory won’t be available for
pre-order in Round 1 of crowdfunding after all. This isn’t what we or the fan
designer had hoped for. However, before we can offer a project for crowdfunding,
we must make sure it’s completely ready.
Mountain View Observatory is still in the program; it will be added to one of
the later crowdfunding rounds. We’ll let you know which one when we announce
the Round 2 candidates.
All other projects in the first round of crowdfunding will be available for pre-order
as we previously announced.

| Dear BrickLink members,
On July 1, to accompany the EU VAT Marketplace implementation, we will be making
a few small changes to our Terms of Service. The changes are listed here:
From the General Terms:
4. General Statements Regarding Fees and Taxes:
Simply becoming a registered user on the Site is free and BrickLink does not
charge you any fees for simply being a registered user.
Of course, as a Buyer of an item from a Seller, you must pay the Seller for the
item you purchase from the Seller.
In addition, certain US states require marketplace facilitators such as BrickLink
to collect sales tax directly from the Buyer. If the shipping address for an
order is in one of these states, state sales tax will be applied to the order
regardless of where the Seller is located. Due to technical complexity and the
need for accurate recordkeeping, BrickLink may restrict the type of payment methods
available for all such orders.
Sellers are subject to pricing and payment terms in the Seller Terms (as defined
below).
Designers are subject to pricing and payment terms in the Designer Terms (as
defined below).

Of course, as a Buyer of an item from a Seller, you must pay the Seller for the
item you purchase from the Seller.
In addition, certain countries and regions require marketplaces such as
BrickLink to collect and remit transaction taxes (e.g. sales tax, VAT, GST, etc.)
directly from the Buyer. If the shipping address for an order is in one of these
countries or regions, transaction tax may be applied to the order. Due to technical
complexity and the need for accurate recordkeeping, BrickLink may restrict the
type of payment methods available for all such orders.
Sellers are subject to pricing and payment terms in the Seller Terms (as defined
below).
Designers are subject to pricing and payment terms in the Designer Terms (as
defined below).
From the Seller Terms:
1.3.9 Value Added Tax (VAT):
If you have enabled VAT in your store, your fees due to BrickLink will be based
on the sum of the order net prices for the items in the order, which net prices
exclude VAT (i.e., we do not charge Fees on VAT amounts). If you are a VAT-registered
Seller in the EU, you must enable VAT in your store and submit your VAT ID to
the Site. All submitted VAT IDs will be verified electronically and the VAT ID
and the registered name of the store will be displayed on the store front. If
you are a Seller in the EU who has not enabled VAT in your store, a VAT charge
will be added to your bill for all BrickLink fees you incur on the Site. The
percentage of VAT will be determined by the national VAT rate of your country.
VAT-enabled stores will need to handle VAT through self-accounting practices.
Will now read:
1.3.9 Value Added Tax (VAT) and similar taxes on Fees:
Where applicable, VAT will be applied on fees charged by BrickLink. If
you have enabled VAT in your store, your fees due to BrickLink will be based
on the sum of the order net prices for the items in the order, which net prices
exclude VAT (i.e., we do not charge Fees on VAT amounts).
**************************************************************
1.4 Tax Obligations:
In addition to paying taxes on BrickLink fees, you are responsible for handling
all applicable taxes on the items that you sell from your store. However, for
orders shipping to an address in certain US states, BrickLink will collect sales
tax directly from the Buyer.
