Good day colleague sellers,

I have selected shipping to "anywhere" in my store settings. Why do US
customers get a "seller does not ship to me" announcement and how can
I change that?

Thanks,

René

Presumably you don't have any onsite payment methods, so sales taxes or VAT
cannot be collected.

I have Paypal as payment option for abroad.
Strange thing is that it is apparently only for US buyers.

You need to activate the Onsite version of PayPal in this page:

“PayPal Onsite” is not the same as “PayPal.”  “Onsite” means the buyer is sent
to PayPal (or Stripe) by BrickLink.  They don’t go off the BrickLink site (“offsite”)
to login in PayPal on their own (or through a link the seller gave them).

Here’s the usual blah (3 years now and still useful):

An Onsite payment method is mandatory for BL to be able to collect the
taxes.
That means PayPal Onsite (not Paypal) or Stripe.

If the order is not paid this way, buyer and sellers are liable for tax evasion:
https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1401495

BrickLink collects taxes from the buyers in these situations:
— US Sales tax: most US buyers, when they buy from any seller for any amount,
— UK import VAT: UK buyers, when they buy from non-UK sellers for less than £135
(items total),
— EU import VAT: EU buyers, when they buy from non-EU sellers for less than €150
(items total).
— Australian GST: AU buyers, when they buy from non-AU sellers for less than
AU $1,000 (items total).
— New Zealand GST: NZ buyers, when they buy from non-NZ sellers for less than
NZ $1,000 (by item).
— Norway import VAT: NO buyers, when they buy from non-NO sellers for less than
NOK 3,000 (by item).

UK/NO/EU VAT and AU/NZ GST are directly paid by the buyer for other amounts. 
Domestically (intra-UK, intra-NO, intra-EU, intra-AU, or intra-NZ), it’s handled
by the sellers when necessary.

to login in PayPal on their own (or through a link the seller gave them).

[...]

They shouldn't go off the BrickLink site, but a lot of them are doing that
- wrongly - and what you meant to write was words to the effect of the following:

They have to pay using the PayPal Onsite method. Paying as they would expect
through the PayPal website means that they have paid incorrectly and that it
is tax evasion because BrickLink is required by law to collect and remit the
taxes on the seller's behalf.

There have been a lot of forum posts about buyers who don't use the PayPal
Onsite link, and pay incorrectly, causing their order status to get stuck because
they did not pay using PayPal Onsite. If a seller finds that the buyer has paid
using the incorrect link, they should refund the payment, and send a message
to the buyer to pay again using the correct PayPal Onsite link.

Sellers who have PayPal Onsite should preferably only use that payment method
to avoid buyers paying offsite on the PayPal website. When taxes are supposed
to be collected and remitted, it has t o go through the PayPal Onsite link, and
NOT the PayPal website, which is offsite.

Cheers ...

Great information, I was wondering why my international sales dropped so hard
from last year, and some Aussie dude was saying I had a $1000 minimum for ordering
in my store. Just accepted onsite payments so hope the sales pick up! Cheers
all!
