| From a previous ticket I had sent in to BrickLink, I was inquiring when they
would be implementing the marketplace tax for Canada. I thought they would formally
communicate this out, but it's been over 2 weeks since I received the response
so here are the details as I know many were waiting for info:
It was previously mentioned in October that the Seller's fees tax was coming
in and that they were ramping up for the full marketplace tax (like US, EU, AU,
etc...). The response I received is that they were advised that they are not
deemed a marketplace (distribution platform operator, in CRA terms). This could
change of course later on, and they mentioned they could choose to opt in anyways
as well at a later time.
✅Good for Canadian buyers buying internationally (and not getting dinged by CBSA)
arriving via Canada Post, as well as buying from domestic smaller stores who
do not need to collect taxes
❌Bad for sellers still struggling without tax tables, but I'm optimistic
they'll implement them for Canada now. Also bad for international orders
that do get dinged by CBSA that you do not self-clear as Canada Post also charges
a ~$10 brokerage fee, as well as any arriving via DHL/UPS/Fedex

| Hope they'll simply implement a method for the seller to filter residence
province of the buyer and getting a CHart like the weight band. Like that a Seller
can charge the right % of taxes for each province, because it's different
for everybody.

I do this already. Just add something to a cart in my store and cancel before
paying.
