  Hi Afol friends.

I was wondering whether it is allowed to pass on the bricklink fees on an order
to your buyer?

I was under the impression that this is absolutely not allowed, but I can't
find it in the bricklink terms.

Does anyone know of this or where I can find it.

Greetings Dave

You cannot do it explicitly and define it as BrickLink fees.

You must build the fees into your inventory prices or as part of your shipping
charges to buyers.

I understand but can it be found somewhere in the bricklink terms that this is
not allowed

I have just searched thru several of the HELP pages here on BL and could NOT
find ANY reference or mention of charging BrickLink fees to buyers.

It may have been in the seller terms of service at some point in time past, but
I did not find anything about it today.

So, the answer to your question is actually,

That there are NO written restrictions on BrickLink about charging BL seller
fees to buyers.

If you wish to charge BL seller fees to your customers, BL does not prohibit
this.

NOTE: I am not a lawyer. Nor a representative of BrickLink and its parent company
The LEGO Group.

I don't think it has ever been in the terms, probably as it is not enforceable
since sellers could just charge 3% extra for unspecified reasons if they want
to avoid saying it is for fees. Free market forces are more effective, buyers
being able to least favourite stores that charge extra percentage fees is possibly
more powerful. If large numbers of buyers avoid stores that do it, stores have
a reason not to do it.

Factor all of your costs into your pricing, additional fees will drive away customers.

Don't sweat the nickels and dimes.

Speaking as a Lego buyer and a small business owner.

I don't think it's prohibited, but that's a good way to build your
list of users who have you as a least favorite.
