Re: XE.COM - rankster (1899) | [...] [...] That's why I'm confused, it has nothing to do with VAT settings. Sellers accepting other currencies than theirs are losing on it and not just because [...]

Re: XE.COM - SylvainLS (46) | [...] Indeed, “VAT does not apply” is for all EU. So no VAT removed, no VAT added, their prices should be the same for all EU.

| Re: XE.COM - yorbrick (1182) | [...] That would also suggest no VAT removal before Austrian VAT is added too, doesn't it? So not as simple as VAT1/VAT2 ratios.

| Re: XE.COM - SylvainLS (46) | [...] They don’t have a VAT number in their terms or banner, so they don’t seem be registered (or they didn’t tell BL / don’t use the VAT mechanism), so “VAT does not [...]

| Re: XE.COM - yorbrick (1182) | [...] The 2 decimal places numbers (1.85 and (1.76) will have been rounded. It depends what rounding has been done on the 1.85 and 1.76. I don't know if these [...]

| Re: XE.COM - yorbrick (1182) | [...] I cannot even tell what I'd be charged in that store. I am being charged a very specific amount for VAT on top of an amount that is to be determined, as they don't [...]

Re: XE.COM - wildchicken13 (875) | [...] But it is not exact, no? 1.85 / 1.76 = 1.05113636 (approximately) 1.27 / 1.20 = 1.05833333 (approximately) So it's close, but not exact.

| Re: XE.COM - SylvainLS (46) | [...] Shorter: You are not in EU, BL collects VAT from your EU buyers. VAT between EU sellers and EU buyers is another matter that BL does not touch. Simpler enough?

Re: XE.COM - Nubs_Select (3748)  | [...] I think your using big words to sounds smart :D:D:D I’m not vat register but bricklink collects it when certain buyer buy from me :D:D

| Re: XE.COM - SylvainLS (46) | [...] We’d need someone who hasn’t a 20% VAT (and know which seller it is) to test if the price in € changes with the buyer’s VAT rate.

| Re: XE.COM - SylvainLS (46) | [...] I’d say about the same as in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth… though I heard the latter had to rise the rates after their French king absonded with the Treasury.

| Re: XE.COM - yorbrick (1182) | [...] Yet the difference is exactly 1.27/1.20=1.058.

| Re: XE.COM - SylvainLS (46) | [...] Once again, no. BrickLink collects import VAT, the VAT paid when an EU buyer buys from a non-EU seller. That’s different from the intra-EU VAT that an EU seller collects [...]

| Re: XE.COM - Nubs_Select (3748) | [...] I don’t think stores charge vat (anymore) on bricklink. Bricklink charges it based off the buyers location and order $ total

| Re: XE.COM - Nubs_Select (3748) | [...] That’s why most sellers only accept 1 or several currencies and not all

| Re: XE.COM - yorbrick (1182) | [...] Right, but then you wouldn't have such a bad rate that the buyer was complaining about.

| Re: XE.COM - rankster (1899) | [...] Why do you assume that PayPal rate is used? When paying my seller fees with PP I always use my card issuer's rate which is much better. This issue has nothing to [...]

| Re: XE.COM - rankster (1899) | [...] This issue seems to be still unfixed. I've checked a Hungarian store and a minifigure listed for 700 HUF equals to 1.76 EUR which is not correct. If I check xe.com [...]

Re: Multiple Accepted Currencies or Not - Emporiosa (5531) | [...] It's usually a matter of preference, and you touched on it (the fees portion). Do you wish your international buyers to cover the conversion fee, where it [...]

| Re: XE.COM - yorbrick (1182) | [...] Because xe quotes a mid market rate, between buying and selling. Whereas when you pay your fees you are essentially selling euros/buying dollars at the PayPal rate.

| XE.COM - Krekeltje62 (1879) | Hi Why is Bricklink charging me with a rate of 1EUR = 0.9289 USD XE.COM says it's 1 EUR = 0.996012 USD The difference is absurd !

| Re: currency POV - Teup (6595) | [...] As far as I know, yes. There is a 'store currency' setting which determines it, and you can only access that setting as a seller.
