To be clear I'm not asking for anyone to share anything.

Considered that and why focusing on link restriction only. Don't think new
users need to post links to get the help needed

Seems to me anyway, that simply restricting zero feedback members the use of
links in the forum, would immediately eliminate most current spam posts and deter
future ones. Haven’t been looking that close at these posts, but from what I’ve
seen, it’s presenting links they have as a common purpose or motivation. Removing
motivation is often a subtle yet effective tack in life.
Could be that it’s not all that simple, technically to implement. I don’t know,
but if doable, why not? Personally don't find the spam posts all that bothersome.
Many do though, and if there's an easy fix to tidy things up a bit...

NOK, Nokia Oyj shares?
Okay, I get it, Norwegian Krone Euro conversions have been somewhat wonky for
reasons outside the sphere of influence of BL and third party, and beyond whatever
site issue there might also be.

The conversion rates are just fine. Both listings are correctly converted. To
me this looks like a sorting issue in BL.
|
I see. Interesting

There it is! Finally a foodie I can relate to here...
Italian BMT; no lettuce, heavy tomatoes, heavy onions, vinegar on the meat side

That sounds good! I might try it the next time I go!
My personal favorite is:
Regular white bread with pepper jack cheese and steak (also toasted). Along with
lettuce, tomato, onions, mayo, and a sweet onion sauce. It makes for the perfect
lunch!

I just might give that a try too. Thanks!

My question concerns the up-to-date rules as applied here to distance
selling with the UK. Not certain about UK cross-border buying protocols, anymore.
~ As seller, will I need to electronically insert proof of taxes-paid into the
customs form (IOSS) in order to avoid the buyer being double taxed?
~ If taxation is applicable to such an order, will taxes be processed within
the order itself, or garnered from the buyer on the receiving end?
Thanks in advance

Help pages notwithstanding, if any UK member would care to offer empirical
input it would be appreciated. Thanks

It's really straightforward 
BrickLink will automatically collect the UK VAT (under GBP135).
You will receive an e-mail with the VAT receipt, and can download the PDF from
the order page if not recevied.
Print it and attach it in a transparent document pocket outside.
Fill a normal CN22 or CN23 form.
|
This. Specifically for UK - this is enough. Your PayPal payment will have a 'Partner
Fee' section for this, which will be forwarded to BL's PP account immediately.
You will have to attach a VAT invoice to the outside of the package - you will
see it on the order page + will receive an email from BL with a .pdf
No need to attach anything electronically to your shipping label.
|
Thank you, guys!
I'll take both of your inputs as empirical and as an affirmation of the updated
help page. Very helpful. Thanks again

I may be mistaken but I think to the UK you don’t need IOSS but rather just printout
the VAT receipt and include it on the package. At the top of the order whenever
taxes (except to the USA) are applied you will have additional options at the
top of the order that let you know what to do. Picture 1 is from a UK order I
had which only prompts me to include the VAT receipt (which I download and print
out on 1 or several shipping labels and apply to the package just like the
normal label) and then in image 2 which went to the Netherlands I needed to also
include IOSS in addition to the receipt.
As for your 2nd question, yes if bricklink collects taxes they are collected
on the order itself just like USA sales tax unless it exceeds some $ amount which
varies by country in which case the buyer is charged it on delivery
|
Thanks. But this doesn't help to advance my understand beyond what I already
knew, in what to expect from the specific order details presented...
"if bricklink collects" "exceeds some $ amount"
"varies by country"
The effort is always appreciated though. Thanks again
|
These are specific numbers

Thanks, Jason. But as I highlighted "up-to-date" is what I'm
looking for here.
