Yes, as a business expense. So it does all come out in the wash.

Good.  And who doesn’t love a bit more paperwork?

  Yes - and you do get charged the processing fee (3.49% or whatever) on the sales
tax amount

Yes, I’m trying to stop giving walls of text to explain this thing

Also, BL said they couldn’t do it any other way and the PayPal surplus was considered
their “fee” on handling the taxes for you (as opposed to having to raise the
BL fee on every transaction).

be greatly appreciated!

The “Partner fee” is the taxes BrickLink is obligated to collect as a marketplace
/ facilitator (Sales tax in the USA, import VAT in UK and EU).

Those taxes were added to your total and are paid by the buyers.  They are not
taken from your total and actually never touch your PayPal/Stripe account.

The bill you get each month is the “real” BrickLink fee.

  Hello all,
just a quick question, I am a seller in the UK and I have just received an order
from the states with an additional charge of sales tax in California. Do I need
to do anything

Nope. Bricklink collects it and remits it on your behalf. You don’t see the money
as it get removed as a “partner fee” on your PayPal or stripe transaction. That’s
why payment for orders with tax has to be made onsite

Nope! Just make sure the order is paid onsite. BrickLink will collect and remit
sales tax to the state of California.
