| Sigh... Once again, a buyer has asked me to commit customs fraud. I would like
sellers to have the OPTION of immediately canceling an order, immediately returning
the items to their shop inventory, posting non-positive feedback for such buyer
AND blocking the buyer from posting any feedback for the seller (or having BL
remove any feedback from such buyer) *IF* the buyer requests that the seller
commit customs fraud* in the order comments or via a BL message. It is very easy
for Admin to check order comments and BL messages to see if such a request was
made, and those comments cannot be doctored or changed by the seller. I do not
want to risk having to file an NPB and waiting 1-2 weeks before I can return
the items to my inventory, receiving non-positive feedback or being hit with
a PayPal reversal for refusing to engage in criminal activity. Even when we ignore
such requests, sellers can still incur the wrath of some of those buyers. Sometimes
it is best to just cancel these orders without taking any chance on such buyers.
Thank you.

| Excerpt from Admin's Post:
"Bricklink cannot and does not police buyers' and sellers' compliance with local
laws, including but not limited to reporting revenue, paying sales taxes, VAT
taxes, customs declarations, and so on. Bricklink expects its buyers and sellers
to follow the laws of wherever they operate."
Your suggestion would essentially mean BrickLink would be policing these requests.
It is up to the individuals here to police themselves. I do not endorse customs
fraud, nor would I ever lie on a customs form. However, you need to deal with
these requests as you see fit. If you give a negative for such requests, and
you get retaliatory feedback, I think any buyer looking at that would see it
as such and ignore it. I would simply tell the buyer that you won't do it and
send the invoice. Simple.

I disagree. Implementing this suggestion will not actually enforce any laws or
make these buyers more honest or force them to pay the proper customs duties
and VAT. On the contrary, canceling the order (without harm to the seller) will
mean no customs duties or VAT is payable at all. The ONLY thing this suggestion
will do is protect sellers and encourage more sellers to comply with BrickLink's
very own ToS.

| I do agree with the option to cancel immediately, however I would not post negative
feedback for the buyer, nor would I blcok them (it depends on their attitude,
of course).
Foster, please note that sending packages as gifts have been a pretty standard
trend on eBay for at least 10 years. This is what buyers request there, and most
sellers will do it without a second thought. In fact it was a buyer over there
who "educated" me about how to do it.
I don't ever recall eBay making a fuss about this, so I'm pretty sure it is still
happening, even though I haven't been buying or selling there as much as I used
to.
I used to do it also when I was a seller there. I never thought of it as breaking
any law or anything. Just doing a friendly little favor to a buyer which I considered
good customer service.
So, if a buyer here would ask me such a favor I would not consider them criminals
asking me to commit fraud. They are used to it if they have ever shopped at the
other site. I would let them know this is not acceptable here and I would give
them the option to cancel if they like.
What I WOULD really like though is admin's recent post about this (or something
similar) being part of the BL TOS I could direct my buyers to. So, it doesn't
become personal.

Thank you Reki.  For the record, I am not asking Admin to "police" or enforce
or report anything. I am asking only for an optional tool that will prevent sellers
from being punished for following the rules and BL ToS. These requests are illegal.
I see no reason why an honest seller should risk having their time wasted with
an NPB, their inventory tied up for weeks and then getting negative feedback
for doing absolutely nothing wrong and everything right. This all happens ON
BRICKLINK so I see no reason why BrickLink cannot address what happens right
here. When a buyer places an order and then writes right in the BL order comments
that the seller should "write down on shipping as 'used toys' value less than
$20" so the buyer "shouldn't get charged extra taxes/duties thru canada customs",
this is pretty black and white.
Admin has every right - the duty in fact - to discourage illegal, wrongful or
unethical conduct that happens right here ON BRICKLINK. So if a buyer is foolish
enough to use BrickLink to commit or request such acts, I see nothing wrong with
or contrary to Admin's recent post to give sellers the optional tools they may
need to protect themselves from such misconduct without costing them time, money
or their BL reputation.

Hi Foster,
from Admin's recent post I read that BL doesn't want to get involved in disputes
between buyers & sellers regarding customs forms/fees.
I suggest to add to your store terms that you will not serve to buyers requesting
any falsifications of customs forms.
You then would be able to cancel orders immediately for cancellation reason #5
- Buyer did not comply with store terms.

I don't necessarily agree that Foster should have to put this in his terms to
be able to Cancel the order. When placing an order, the buyer should have to
agree with the store's terms AND automatically agree to the site's ToS, which
you agree to by using the site. The ToS state that you will comply with all applicable
laws, which falsify these forms is against the law, whether you are the one falsifying
the forms, or requesting it.
I think what the intent of the suggestion was was to prevent retaliatory feedback
for such cases. But based on what Admin has stated (and others have referred
back to), this suggestion is not likely going to be implemented.

All this will accomplish is to have buyers move where they request such things,
from order notes/bl messages to private e-mail or paypal notes, both of which
are not verifiable by BrickLink.
There are already options available for dealing with this.
If you want your inventory back immediately, then OCR and post appropriated feedback.
Yes, you risk the chance of retaliatory feedback, but you are also always pointing
out that retaliatory feedback is quite rare and that a proper reply to adverse
feedback is better then a positive.
If you do not want to risk the adverse feedback, then you have the option of

I certainly am not afraid to risk getting retaliatory feedback. But many other
sellers are. I am asking for this optional tool not just for myself, but for
all other sellers as well. This tool will empower more sellers to not only resist
these demands, but to do something about them without suffering themselves. Sellers
who are afraid of getting retaliatory feedback are much less likely to leave
honest feedback and to decline these requests. I have heard from several newer
sellers who told me they felt very intimidated and helpless when buyers (particularly
experienced buyers) make these requests. A few have even said that they went
along with the request solely because it was too much hassle and risk to refuse
it. This suggestion empowers them by giving them an effective way of dealing
with these requests without being punished for doing the right thing.
| |
If you do not want to risk the adverse feedback, then you have the option of

|
Sure, that is one way. If you don't mind having your inventory tied up for two
or three weeks or more. Remember, nobody requests customs fraud for small orders.
These requests are made for large orders which involve a fair amount of inventory.

| I voted "yes" because this is the best solution to the problem. It does NOT
require Bricklink to get involved or engage in policing; rather, it simply provides
the seller with the OPTIONAL tools to take care of the situation. I love the
idea...this is the first "survey says" that I've ever gotten involved in, and
I feel pretty strongly about this.
Everybody that thinks that this means Bricklink is supposed to enforce the law
should re-read the suggestion...to me, it means exactly the opposite. BL won't
have to get involved, and it then becomes an issue between the seller and the
buyer...one where the seller doesn't get screwed with the lovely option of either
breaking the law or receiving negative feedback.

to commit customs fraud the seller can block this buyer in his store . and there
are no problems or bad feedback
