so we can instant checkout like most other countries?

IIRC there was a post by Russell more than a year ago saying that the BL legal
department concluded that BL wasn't an online marketplace according to Canadian
laws and thus, didn't required them to collect taxes. Did I dream that ?

(It's entirely possible Russell eventually posted this) but I also had posted
a message I received from Russell/BL legal about it with that note. They mentioned
that the previous communication in the ~Oct/Nov 2022 newsletter where it said
the implementation was coming was no longer happening. But of course, it doesn't
mean they won't voluntarily do it either (they can always choose to do so).
On the flipside; it doesn't explain why they still haven't turned on
the old school tax tables for Canada though. That's literally all sellers
are asking for lol We couldn't care less if the marketplace tax is on or
off (and for most; it's best if it doesn't happen of course).

There are also a lot of incoming changes and clarity surrounding the platform
sales coming in I think in Jan 2024 via the CRA. From the wording, I don't
think this part will apply to us as BL is based in the US and we sell physical
goods (not AirBnB and other services like that), but platforms will need to start
reporting sales data to the CRA for their registered sellers. That legislation
I think added a bunch of other clarity for platforms related to the tax collection
thing, so who knows...

  Is there an easy way to list the parts from a cancelled order back into my store
stock or do I have to manually re-enter each lot from the order manually? This
is not a NPB issue. Thanks.

If already cancelled? No it's too late and need to do it manually (or could
use BrickStore to import that order to get the items, and then upload).

But after you refund via BL, and then open the OCR, the OCR page for cancelling
the order gives options of what you want to do with the items (such as bringing
them back into your inventory).

  So my suggestion/request is one of the following:

Option 1 - Allow any buyer to enter any shipping destination in the checkout
process, just like 99% of webshops allow to do so.

Option 2 - Each account should have a buyer and a seller address. Only when changing
the seller address, a new store verification is required.

Thanks for considering any of these options.

I completely hear you on this; it's very common in Canada since we hug the
US border. There are types of parcel holding facilities where we get to have
US shipping addresses, and we cross over to get them once they arrive.

This isn't a full solution to what you're looking for, but in Feb 2021,
Russell did say they would consider allowing sellers to open another buyer account
for certain cases like these. I'm not sure if this is the case right now
and I'd recommend reaching out to Help Desk to confirm first, but here's

  I was wondering if anyone knows a way to link to the tracking numbers generated
through Paypal shipping, so when I send out the "drive through" notification
it will automatically include the tracking number without my having to type it
in manually each time.

Thanks!

You'll likely need to make something custom to do the API calls required,
or use a type of BrickLink specific SaaS/product that can do this.
