Germany is not Portugal and most of the large BL stores in Germany are not one-man-company.

Hat Deutschland eine TIN Nummer?
Seit dem 01. Juli 2007 erhält jede Person zur eindeutigen Identifizierung in
Besteuerungsverfahren eine 11-stellige Identifikationsnummer, die sog. TIN. Diese
ändert sich bei Umzug oder Heirat nicht. Die Nummer bleibt der Person lebenslang
zugeordnet.

TIN (Steuer-Identifikationsnummer): TIN steht für Taxpayer Identification Number.
Diese 11stellige Nummer wird jedem Bundesbürger zugewiesen und wird ein Leben
lang behalten. Diese Nummer ist im Programm in den persönlichen Daten des Steuerpflichtigen,
der Ehefrau und der Kinder anzugeben.

In Deutschland haben Unternehmen keine TIN. Nur Personen.
Daher können wir keine TIN für das Unternehmen angeben.


Was ist die Identifikationsnummer / TIN?

Bei der steuerlichen Identifikationsnummer (abgekürzt IdNr. oder Steuer-IdNr.)
handelt es sich um eine elfstellige bundeseinheitliche Identifikationsnummer,
die jede in Deutschland gemeldete Person für Steuerzwecke erhält. Oftmals wird
diese auch TIN (Tax identification Numbers) genannt.

Bricklink don't tend to remove comments (at least not very fast), that is
the job of the moderators, who are not bricklink employees.

Posting political views is against the terms of using the forum, so doing so
will get your post removed. Similarly repeating other people's posts that
discuss politics in them will get the post removed.

Yes and No. For one-man-company in Portugal VAT ID = PT + NIF = PT + TIN

So, my TIN = NIF = 197210856 ans my VAT ID = PT197210856

(You can check them on VIES)

Hope that's clear.

  Dear BrickLink members,

Today is the first day that you can submit additional information that is needed
for the DAC7 reporting directive. EU DAC7 regulation requires BrickLink to start
collecting additional information and documents from our sellers in the EU.

To qualify for DAC7 reporting, you should meet at least one of the two criteria:
a. 30 or more sales through the BrickLink platform within one calendar year,
excluding orders that have been cancelled within the same year;
b. Total sales in the amount of EUR 2,000 or more within one calendar year. This
amount only includes item cost totals and not shipping and other additional costs.

All required information should be submitted through the Seller Verification
page: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/mystore/registration.page (only accessible
for the sellers in the EU). Your store will still be open while your Seller Verification
request is being reviewed by the administration, even if we request additional
information or ask you to resubmit your request.

We will also be sending out personal invitations to sellers to submit their Seller
Verifications. These emails will be sent out to some sellers before others with
the goal to relieve the load on our administration and to ensure that all requests
are handled in a timely manner.

The deadline for all eligible EU sellers is November 30, 2024. However, we encourage
you to go ahead and submit your Seller Verification at your first convenience
if your store matches the criteria that we mentioned above.

For more details on the DAC7 directive and the information that is required,
refer to our DAC7 FAQ page: https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=2645.

Thank you,
The BrickLink Team

We're starting the process but two problems/confusions:

In Germany, businesses do not have a TIN. Only persons.
So we cannot give a TIN for the business. What's the solution for this? Usually
in Germany the VAT number is the verification number for businesses.


Did you try to fill in with your VAT ID number?

(In my case TIN = VAT ID, but I am a one man company)


  How to proceed as business entity with the personal information. According to
the overview it's the business-name and no Date of birth. But is then a proof
of identification necessary? Would be the same as under business registration
details.
Or does this for business entities means the information of the CEO?

Hey Admin Team!

The updates seemed to have broken the link to Brickstore ...
(It's an app that appears on the list of "BrickLink-compatible Store

Anyone maybe know of an easy fix to get my favourite software back to pulling
average prices, please?

... just MyTwoPence Bricks

Seems to be working fine for me, and also nobody else reported any issue that
I could find online, maybe try rebooting yours?

Apparently it's been resolved, see previous messages in forum?

But of course it won't send back the previous e-mails you didn't receive
already.
So this could be "normal".

The platform will be down for an extra 10 minutes during the daily maintenance
period tonight. This means that BrickLink will be unavailable from 1:40 AM -

Hello!

No problem, especially and luckily for us it's early in the morning like
6 or 7am, so nobody will notice this while in the middle of Summer

The problem in what you say is that I can't find in Help/TOS it's described
we've got a daily maintenance, when and for how long?

We'll old timers and forum know, but I wonder for more casual users...


At least maybe an explanation in the stormtrooper maintenance page like:

For regular ones:

"This is our daily BrickLink maintenance, as every day at 00:00 up to 01:00
EDT. Thank you for your patience!"

Or:

"This is an exceptional BrickLink maintenance, started today Tuesday, Jul
23, 2024 00:00 up to 06:00 EDT. Thank you for your patience!"

Just an idea though.

Bon courage !

  Dear BrickLink members,

The LEGO Group released the following statement regarding the war in Ukraine.

Our thoughts are with all the children and families suffering as a result of
the war in Ukraine.
Our priority is the safety of all our colleagues. We are in contact with our
Ukrainian team and are providing ongoing support to ensure their safety. We are
also working to support other colleagues around the world impacted by the escalating
crisis including our team in Russia.

We have paused shipments of products to Russia given the extensive disruption
to the operating environment.

We care deeply about the lasting impact on children and together with the LEGO
Foundation and Ole Kirk’s Fond, we will donate DKK 110 million (approx. USD 16.5
million) to emergency relief efforts, with a focus on providing support for children
and families. The donation will be made to existing partners, including the United
Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), Save the Children, and the Danish Red Cross.

This is a volatile and constantly evolving situation which we are monitoring
closely.
What does this mean for BrickLink?

The global payment platforms we use on BrickLink are currently not available
in Russia and deliveries to and from the country are severely disrupted. Given
this, buying and selling activities in Russia will be temporarily deactivated.
Members impacted by this will be informed individually.

We are grateful for everyone in our community and never imagined we would face
a situation such as this or witness the heartbreak and devastation we’re seeing
in Ukraine.

Please continue to adhere to our community guidelines and show each other respect
and support.

Thank you for your understanding.
The BrickLink team
