| seen a lot of good features from goatleg by 62bricks but i am less likely to
use them when they are on a separate site.
so if admin could please integrate these features into bricklink advanced search
somehow, or give 62bricks the authority to start implementing the features himself
here since he seems very knowledgeable about coding

Does your "End" key not work

Are you referring to the "End" key that does not exist on my iPad ?

Completely irrelevant for nearly all bricklink transactions. Notice they refer
to the SED (Shippers Export Declaration). This is for commercial shipments over
$2,500, and much, much higher value than that usually. An "export" here is referring
to the kind of exports that typically require formal Port entry, for example
giant crates of iPhomes coming in from China. Check out the SED document if
you do not believe me. Do you fill that document out evetything you ship a Ninjago
figure to the Netherlands? Didn't think so.

True alright. But still, someone simply.. disagree  Law itself doesn't
impress me (e.g. during WW2 hiding people was
We can initate heated debates over following law vs. acting on personal persuasion,
but at the end of the day, there'll always be those two kinds of people.
The one who says 'I'll have to ship this in two batches to keep it below
the critical value', and the other who says 'nobody would benefit from
that' might as well ship it at once and write down half the value on it.
It shouldn't really matter what someone's position on law is. I've
noticed that to some people here that's hard to swallow an law is almost
holy, but.. really. I'm not saying you have to condone the other, but a simple
refusal should suffice. Nobody should of course do anything against their principles.
I always get a bit uneasy when these kinds of topics arise, because I feel people
get judged overly harsh. Many people just got out of their dark age, are young,
and are not aware that what they're asking is considered by some people to
be very malicious. Or people live in a country where parcels get stolen if they're
valuable, and they really want to have Lego as a hobby. It's easy for us
to judge people in that situation. And there could be other reasons.
From my point of view, for example, fishing is barbarous and immoral, but I'm
still able to be on perfectly fine civil terms with Americans who like to go
fishing with their son and I appreciate that's considered a nice and bonding
family activity. I wouldn't want "buyer participates in fishing" as a reason
to cancel an order either  Let's just disagree with each other whenever
we feel like it and focus on getting the Lego from the one end to the other.
Once a point is reached where a mutual deal cannot be reached and someone is
getting forced to break their own principles, it's time to resort to cancellation.

sure, lie on the customs form its no risk to the buyer, all the risk is on the
seller, how would you feel if you receiving the package took on all the risk?
but until then I'm not breaking the law and taking such a huge risk because
a buyer wants to save a few bucks.

Actually the reality is the exact opposite. Putting aside all the legalese and
"technical" legal ramifications, this is the risk in reality:
1) Buyer has to pay the full customs duties owed
2) Buyer risks being known by local postal workers to receive many underdeclared
packages, so they may scrutinize his items more closely
3) The package could potentially be returned, in which case the buyer may have
to pay to have it shipped again.
Since no one is going to arrest or report or bring any legal action whatsoever
over a $100 package (it just does not happen in the real world. Regulators are
concerned about nabbing the $100 million corporate export cheaters instead),
the seller faces no practical risk whatsoever.
So really, the buyer bears all the risk. Seller faces no practical risk. You
might say "But...but... but... legally...technically... its still.... but but
but!"
To which i say, nice tinfoil hat. Have fun standing in your own way of making
a profit.
