Canada?

If it's cause of a USA teenager who bought from my store and then said I
was a scammer cause I don't take paypal,, then this better be rectified right
away because that is allowed to not take paypal and I didn't scam anyone!!!
Admin, please contact me right away! Everyone who knows me in the LEGO community
knows who I am and I've never scammed anyone!
I also have a NPB against this teenager who shouldn't be allowed on this
site. Then their negative feedback will be removed!
PLEASE HELP ME!!!

But actually, I don't have to charge tax to USA buyers and that's legal
cause I'm in Canada. I work for a 50 year old company of sporting goods.
We only sell to Canada and USA. When a USA buyer buys from the website, they
are NEVER charged taxes and can check out with the purchase price and shipping
is the only thing added. We don't charge taxes and leave it to the boarder
and the buyer to pay the taxes if it's needed.
|
Dosnt the buyer pay the tax need thru bricklink now tho. Even tho the seller
isn’t required to collect it bricklink now is required to and as such the buyer
has to pay bricklink whenever they purchase thru bricklink (or any site that
deals in sales volume over x amount of dollars) so technically you wouldn’t be
collecting the sales tax but bricklink would on behalf of the buyer.
|
Yes maybe your right... But can't a BrickLink admin tell us about these
things and help their customers, (Us Sellers who pay their bills.), what we
need to change to make it all work out???
I'm afraid to use PayPal now because of sellers being scammed and screwed
by buyers who lie and PayPal gives them their money back and the seller loses
the item and shipping!!!
|
I do agree that for parties involved there should be better info given. As for
PayPal I’ve used it for about 7.5k transactions and haven’t been scammed once
yet. We typically only hear of the horror stores but buyers can file claims pretty
much any way they pay. I’ve actually had someone try to scam me on PayPal but
PayPal actually stepped in and protected me from the buyer and I didn’t have
to give any refunds
|
Yes I have a great reputation with PayPal and they have always sided with me...
but I shouldn't have to fight, worry and stress about that stuff. So it's
easier for my life to just not. I don't have to sell to USA either. And
Canada post already killed my overseas business cause of increased prices. 😔
|
You should see if you have a chit chats near you. If you use them you can ship
stuff fully tracked overseas for as little as $10 to some countries
|
We actually do,,, but the one near me has a very bad reputation and bad feedback
for over charging and losing packages!!! They need to improve before I can trust
them.

Wow. Too far, dude. He’s been on BL far longer then you and I. That was just
rotten sounding. You sound like you are trying to parent a 5 year old who got
his finger pinched in the cookie jar lid. That was just a bit too far.
|
It has nothing to do with parenting or judging, it was making a point. If
the site admins fell like you won't make an effort to correct mistakes they
won't reinstate your selling or buying privileges. It's happened in
the past and we know they read comments in the forum as well so if you say you
don't care or compare it to another business and make it sound like you won't
fix it in the future, they could easily say they won't let you sell again.
Also, just because I haven't been on this platform doesn't mean that
I have no knowledge of the process from an outside view or another platform or
business. I'm just making a statement based on the information provided.
|
I have no problem fixing ANYTHING I did wrong or mistakes in my store. I was
NEVER told why they closed my store. So I'm waiting for an answer. This way
maybe an admin will notice and help me fix it.
I'm used to the old ways on here so didn't know I had to do it their
way. I can either stop Selling to USA buyers like I have for overseas buyers
cause of high shipping prices. Or put paypal back on my store and open it up
to everyone.
Thanks for your help and knowledge.
Peace,
James

Are you working for a franchise company that is "owned" by someone in Canada?
If this is the case, then that is you delta. BL is a USA based company and
has to abide by US law. Even though they are owned by TLC, they are US based.
You don't get to make your own rules and when you break them, this is what

My store is based in Canada, so I don't charge a USA buyer any taxes.
|
You might look at it from another angle, James: Practically speaking, it’s BrickLink
that “charge a USA buyer any taxes” via third party arrangements.
You, as representing today’s online vendor, do not determine, apply to invoice
(charge) or have access to any tax-funds collected for remittance.
As it stands currently, the site can only fulfill what is now an obligation,
by using the payment process. The Onsite method, contractually allows for this.

Hi there. Yes you're right. So I either stop selling to USA buyers, or
conform and risk stress and pain. 😔

But your store is on a platform that is based in the US. You are selling on
a platform that is US based and this is the key piece. Unless you are brick
and mortar with your own order system, you have to abide by the rules and laws
by the country of origin.
|
I get you point. Maybe I have to stop USA sales, or conform. Shame cause I have
such great stuff still to list.

But BL is a marketplace, and has to make sure buyers pay taxes in front,
since relatively recently.
Your Company may not do distant sales, or has another status that authorizes
what they do, apparently.
On the other side, every shop owner should receive an e-mail or a message explainging
even in a few words why the shop has been closed.
But also, we're in August; it's not a "normal" period

Hope the attachment works,, but this is all I got from BL on my profile page...

Oh boy!! It’s getting intense!! I can’t wilt to see how far this goes! I’m in

Shouldn’t they have more of a say then they do now? You got my name on the petition!

You think it is getting intense now. You should have been here 10 years ago.
Nothing going on here compared to then. We did help build bricklink but I do
not think that entitles us to anything. We did it for a love of Lego. Dan had
all the right ideas (except naming Bricklink BrickBay.) So many of my pictures
and inventories were used in the early days, but I did not think there was anything
owed to me. I just enjoyed being around others that love Lego and was happy
to help.

Agreed. But it should help us get a little more respect and communication from
an admin to explain what we might be doing wrong with these new rules and stuff.

Your choices seem to be, ship to the US and allow them to tax their citizens
based on their laws, or don't ship to the US..
eBay has started collecting tax on Canadian purchases as well, so I'm sure
Bricklink is not far behind.

It is possible that the post's that say we will work something out because
you don't accept PayPal set off a red flag that you might , I said might,
be circumventing BL's fees. I am not accusing you, but it gives the impression
that you might be making deals based on orders on BL that are collected outside
of BL.

Oh yes I see what you mean. Never had a deal outside of here but I wish I could
sell to other states that are blocked from my store without that auto payment
thing.

Communication from Bricklink is terrible. I cannot think of a reason that they
could suspend your store if all is as you say. But that is not what this thread
is about. It is about a lack of humility on the part of Bricklink. They often
do not explain their actions even though their actions have a great impact on
the people they suspend. It is easy enough to tell the person the reason why
as it is to suspend them. It is as if they feel they do not owe an explanation
and have no second thoughts that they may not be perfect and do make mistakes.
I wonder if their thought process is "Let them eat cake."

Hi John! Thanks for your reply and good to hear from you again. I haven't
been in the forums as much as I used to.
So maybe it's time for the big users of this site come together and demand
answers and better service???!!! WE helped build Bricklink with Daniel Jezek
and we consider this OUR site, no matter what company owns it now! So now we
want better communication, integrity and customer service from who runs it now.
Some people's LIVES depend on Bricklink so if poor decisions are made about
a person's store, it can't be taken lightly and needs to be human in
it's handling of such major decisions! This is OUR Bricklink!!!
Peace,
James

I am very sorry for your situation. I hope it is resolved very soon.
There have been several examples lately of stores being shut down for issues
related to payment. There should have been no issue with that buyer as they are
not from a state that collects sales tax. If one report from an angry customer
gets sellers shut down, then we are all in trouble.
A bit more transparency from BrickLink on the nature of the rules and communications
regarding store shutdowns is definitely needed.
Take care,
Jen
|
Thanks Jen!! Yes very true! This site isn't like a faceless place like
Facebook where they shut pages and groups down and not tell you!
Someone needs to explain their reasoning for why its shut down as I haven't
done anything wrong.
I'm building a brand with Dream Builder Bricks and have been around for 15
years!! I need my store and reputation intact!
Thanks,
Janes

Can an Admin here help me quick as I need my store and inventory back.
I'm selling almost everything and have tons more work to do to sell it on
Bricklink.
I've helped hundreds of people use BL. Uploaded items and pictures to help

I hope someone helps me like I have helped the LEGO community.

of minifigures as the entire email is just a bit off

I received it as well. The subject line states "Immediate action required!" which
REALLY makes it sound like they are specifically claiming that my store has counterfeit
minifigures (it doesn't!).
What exactly is the immediate action that I am required to take?
|
Ya it made me worry for a bit as well. I'm in the middle of uploading my
entire personal collection of over 2400 minifigs to sell them off!!! I saw the
email and thought BL was saying I was uploading counterfeit Minifigures!!! I'm
like, WTF, NO WAY, NOT MINE!!!
Mine are over 15 years of hard core collecting from sets, and from other good
sellers!
Don't scare us like that Bricklink! lol.

| Lol, the persons account is registered in India right??!!
We all get phone calls from people in India. They are ok with scamming people,
pretending to be the Government, Canada Health, Credit Card companies or now
pretending to be Amazon trying to make you pay them with (pathetic) pressure
tactics! Lol
I can't believe they are coming in here and trying to scam us now!

wanted to sell on their platform called Everyeshop.com. Signature says they

yet), social media marketing.....
Sounds like ebay but cheaper (maybe).
Anyone know this site? Is it legit?
Also they have their construction cap still and no feedback or orders. Did they
apply to Bricklink for the purpose of finding new clients? Might have been
a bot - addressed oddly to my store name and used a set I have listed that is
high priced but incomplete. Doesn't feel right, Admin?

Is it legit? Would you trust a company that tries to get clients I that way?

Just run away - don't lose your time - bad seller, change seller!

That will probably be best. It is a one of a kind item, hard to find, and pricey
but still only in hundreds.

| I'm following this thread for good advice as well.
And very good to know that we shouldn't deal with TD ever again for doing
something so stupid, lol. Banks know nothing about money and only care about
their shareholders making money, or the politicians they own! This is why Cryptocurrency
was invented and growing strong!
Suggest we find a good insurance company who will cover all us Canadian Bricklink
sellers and sign on with them. Would be a huge win for hundreds of us sellers
and collectors in Canada to sign up with the same company!
Sorry I'm passionate about things and love when the little guy wins and teach
people we are stronger as a pack of small business owners. Ok, getting off my
soap box now. As you were. 
Peace,

| | tldr: need insurance company in Ontario, Canada that will cover home insurance
and business-in-home insurance.
I started my Bricklink business around 1.5-2 years ago, and am in the process
of starting up a small computer business as well. Between the two businesses
the assets are material enough that I would like to have them covered by insurance.
I called up my insurance company (TD) to see if I could get coverage added to
home policy for business assets.
After waiting for a few days they called me back and told me that not only will
they Not cover it, but they will not be renewing my policy when it expires as
well. I asked for clarification and they stated that the value of my business
assets exceed their risk tolerance values. I than asked what if I purchased separate
commercial property insurance for the business assets and they stated the policy
would still not be renewed.
Soooo, that leaves me looking for a new insurance company. I've started calling
around to a couple different insurance brokers in town, but I was wondering if
anybody here might have some suggestions.
