Another month of GST you owe back to Canadian seller with a GST number already.
When will this issue be solved?

Will there be a response this month. The bill that BL owes me is growing, am
I allowed to start charging interest?

  Hello

I'm looking into starting to ship to the US (my store is in Canada and currently
only sells domestically) but I don't know what to charge for taxes and who
I'd owe it to (Do I owe something to the IRS? customs fees?)

This is the last step before I start selling to the US and I look forward to
start being able to do so, as this would multiply the amount of potential buyers
for me by more than 4x

bricklink handles collecting tax but if their are any import fees its the buyers
responsibility to pay them. if the order is over like $400 USD you need to add
a commercial invoice but that's not something done to regularly. don't
forget tho that you cant send lego via lettermail to any other country then Canada
so if you sell lego parts you need to ship them parcel to the USA

And be sure to never accept or propose anything other than an Onsite payment
method (PayPal Onsite or Stripe, like you have in your store now) for US buyers:
https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1401495


  also I noticed you collect sales tax in your bricklink store so I just wanted
to confirm you have a GST/HST number as unless you are registered to collect
tax you are not allowed to collect tax in Canada

Isn’t it mandatory to show that number when you’re registred?  (It is for VAT.)

yup at the very least in your terms page or else something like what I do like
this

It is a GST requirement to show your number on every invoice.

  I had the same here with that buyer. Repeat customer for a while too, but no

  A buyer placed an order in my store in January. I shipped it out. A month later,
they file a chargeback with their credit card company, saying they did not authorize
the payment. (NOT that the item didn't arrive, but that the payment itself
should never have been charged to their card.)

Another month later, Paypal sides with them, and reverses the payment and charges
me a $20 fee on top of it.

I looked at their feedback today, and it appears they have done this to at least
one other seller recently.


Shouldn't this be what our BL fees go to, stepping in to vouch for multiple
sellers that got their money taken away?

They quickly step in when multiple buyers get the shaft.

  Too much time has passed for me to file a non-paying buyer (and the rules seem
to indicate that it would be removed even if it was still in the timeframe).
It's too late to change my feedback for them.

What is the official process for me?

yannbellucci if anyone is curious.

Thanks in advance,

Just tried ordering these items.
The black and dark red showed the IC unavailable icon.

These colours do work with IC at other stores, so must be a setting on your end.

What happens if you delete the listing and then re-add it?

During the checkout process, it showed this error under all but the request for
invoice shipping method.

  “Instant Checkout/Invoice is not currently available for this method due to missing item information.“

It can’t be a shipping setting as it lets the other colours go through as IC.

It also gave me the AB, QC, NWT, NV, YK Package shipping method, instead of BC,
MB.

On that note, BC and MB should be treated the same as AB, QC etc. we only pay
the GST, that is until BL gets their Canadian tax situation sorted out

Also, you have your PayPal me address listed under payment policies. You should
probably remove that so buyers have to use on-site and can’t just send you the
payment directly, thereby avoiding BL tax collection.

Well the BC government disagrees with you. According to your province I'm
required to collect and remit BC provincial tax. You may want to review when
you charge provincial tax.

BL defaults to the lowest shipping option automatically, unfortunately users
have to change to the correct province manually.

Having my PayPal address visible does not allow people to circumvent BL tax,
as it only accepts automatic payments from the States on the shipping setting.

Thanks for the feedback.

Tyson.
