  We have recently noticed that we are reducted an automatical extra fee from BL
via PAyPal payments.
At the moment we only have this fee which is ca. 6% of the total amount reducted
with US customers We have no further information from BL about this.

I think we are paying quite a lot in fees - so prices of bricks must go up...
Does it still make sense to sell single bricks or are we getting cut off by Lego
in the end?

Partner fee = US taxes that are being collected. This is not a fee to you. It
was automatically collected by BrickLink as per the invoice sent to the buyer,
and that's them taking it from the payment received from the buyer so they
can submit it to the US government/agency that collects the taxes.

Yes, look at the PayPal transaction, you’ll see a ‘Taxes’ line that exactly matches
the ‘Partner Fee’ line and that’s added to _your_ grand total.

IOW, the money was never for you and never really touched your account.  But
you pay PayPal fees on it….
