Hi there,

Wondering if I'm missing something about Bricklink fees.

My understanding is that once I've crossed the $500 threshold for order total
for the month, I pay 3% on the first set of fees, and then 2% up to $1000 (and
then it switches again).

I'm currently at $743, but am still getting charged 3% (instead of 2%).

I have gone back through my orders to the beginning of the month and it has been
3%.

Has anyone else noticed this issue? Am I reading the fee structure incorrectly?
I have not yet heard back from support on this issue.

Thank you!

Jess

See the following help page: https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=38

In particular, note the following line:

The fee is calculated for every order batch (order batch is every new
order or addition to an existing order)
.

So, it's regressive per batch.

Don't worry; I, too, made the same mistake: https://www.reddit.com/r/Bricklink/comments/17phj4e/comment/k8afdsz/

Its per batch/order, not in total.

If you never have a single order more than $500, you will always pay 3%.

Thank you so much for the kind responses! There were several of us confused.
