So this is kind of a multi part discussion so brace yourselves.
Lets discuss the partner fee we pay through PayPal as well as the "Fee"
we pay for selling items here. The reason id like to discuss what these fees
are used for is because i feel some of the money that we pay to use this platform
should go toward making improvements on Bricklink. Yes i am aware that someone
has to pay to keep the lights on, literally snd metaphorically speaking. I do
also know that with the platform essentially complete, it does not cost as much
money to maintain. Im also fairly certain someone familisr with bricklinks code
is still on the payroll. im also aware the platforms newer version is still being
worked on correct? So since bricklink doesnt actually help solve any of the very
few issues that arise (monetarily speaking) where does this money go? the most
important item that needs addressing is to pay someone to add the ability to
automatically remove items from our wanted lists that we purchase. To me this
seems to be a no brainer in regards to convenience. People like myself who suffer
from neurological disorders that make us forget things much more easily are taking
a hit. Yes it is my fault im not denying that but i feel as if no one would complain
if the option is added somewhere in our settings. i know im kind of ranting and
i know the Lego Group can do whatever they want with their money, but without
our generous double dipped fees, this platform would cease to operate. And i
have no ill will toward lego or bricklink for requiring fees to be paid. All
organizations require some fee since the very first Home owners association we
formed after exiting our caves for good. But seriously im not irritated at anyone
but myself...
the "partner fee" on paypal in sales tax. bricklink gets none of that
money. they only get the fees that sellers pay once a month.
