I am New to selling and am curious why at the end of the month I got a bill for
the seller fee. I already get a partner fee subtracted on every purchase when
I look at the PayPal invoices. Do you get 2 fees taken per order, any info would
be greatly appreciated!

The “Partner fee” is the taxes BrickLink is obligated to collect as a marketplace
/ facilitator (Sales tax in the USA, import VAT in UK and EU).
Those taxes were added to your total and are paid by the buyers. They are not
taken from your total and actually never touch your PayPal/Stripe account.
The bill you get each month is the “real” BrickLink fee.

The sales tax goes into your paypal long enough for it to get added to the 1099
total that paypal sends you.

But then the taxes are deductible, aren’t they?
Yes - and you do get charged the processing fee (3.49% or whatever) on the sales
tax amount
Yes, I’m trying to stop giving walls of text to explain this thing
Also, BL said they couldn’t do it any other way and the PayPal surplus was considered
their “fee” on handling the taxes for you (as opposed to having to raise the
BL fee on every transaction).
