Or use instant checkout - but then they would have to be more upfront about their
33% paypal charge (which must be the worst case of profiteering on bricklink,
I thought 10% was bad) and their additional 8% service charges.

I missed the latter, I wonder if the 33% is applied to just the order or the
order plus 8% service charge

know where I can go to enable states specifically? Has not been an issue until
lately and the admins have not replied to my inquiries.

By law BL has to collect sales tax on orders from most U.S. states and they can
only do that through Onsite payments (PayPal or Stripe).

Without onsite payment with Paypal and/or Stripe, you cannot sell to any state
that has sales tax.

Also, if you supposedly NEED to charge a 33% fee on purchases to keep in business
(which I seriously doubt), you are doing something horribly wrong and I'd
suggest reworking how you do things or stop selling altogether. Those terms are
actually against paypal's terms of service, and could get you in trouble.

My favorite part is the charge is to cover their income taxes based on their
income that is now being reported, income which they were supposed to be reporting
before regardless of getting a 1099 from PayPal, yet in their terms they state
"Nobody likes to pay taxes and fees to useless morons in government but I am
not going to commit fraud nor do business with those that request it."

I didn't catch that one. His whole terms basically read: "I have a store
but I really don't want to spend time to sell to you unless I make insane
profit, so I'm going to make ordering as difficult and pricey as possible."

Oh Gosh - this seller is either a legend or a douchebag.

Or in between, but I've difficulties to represent it
