I placed a Cash No COD Order on February third I got the items I ordered at the
end of February. First the seller accused me of lying about sending the money
and they got it a few days after that. The order was still marked as packed because
I did a cash payment. Around a week ago I messaged the seller explaining to them
how to mark the order as shipped so I could set it as complete and they told
me that they are not going to waste their time doing that and I need to disappear.
Then earlier today I decided I've had it with Bricklink and decided to unregister
my account because I am going to start buying from a store who sells Legos that
is near where I live. I had to cancel the order if I wanted to unregister my
account because the order was still marked as packed. The seller didn't cancel
it and accused me of harassments which is false. They also gave me negative feedback
last week on a order from almost two months ago and wrote false things saying
I was a Bad Buyer. I am not sure what I am supposed to do now. Can someone give
me some advice.

P.S. On the image it says I was blocked twice. I made a second account once because
my old account broke On my original account I was blocked from their store for
asking to cancel a order. When I placed the order on my new account then I did
not know I was blocked from their store. I have already worked it out with the
Bricklink support team and they just revoked my old account and then I go my
buyer privileges back on my new account which they had taken away prior.

in this case if I'm understanding you correctly, you both are in the wrong,
it sounds like you paid offsite but sales taxes are involved. since you are in
georigia, which is one of the states bricklink collects sales tax, the payment
can ONLY be made onsite with either paypal onsite or stripe. not doing
this means that its sales tax avoidance/the seller is keeping the sales tax (unless
you have a sales tax exemption).

the seller cannot mark the order as shipped since bricklink has not received
the sales tax which only they can do, the seller isn't authorized to and
the seller has no way to remit it so the only course that can be recommended
is for the seller to return your money and you pay for the order onsite. then
they can mark it as shipped. and no, there isn't any workarounds to pay the
tax to this account or that account or such it can only be done during onsite
payment as bricklink charges and collects it during the payment process

Thanks for the info. The seller has Cash No COD listed on his payment options
but it wasn't listed when I placed the order so I set it to request invoice.

some sellers haven't updated the options unfortunately, it still is "possible"
for buyers from like 2 or 3 states but since it never showed at checkout for
you, it wasn't an option you were able to choose as bricklink only lets you
choose onsite methods if tax is involved

And the only way to do that is… drum roll please… paying onsite. Bricklink is
the only party authorized to charge and collect sales tax on the order.

And they can only do that when you pay onsite. You dont send bricklink or the
government a cheque, you don’t send them a separate payment, you don’t send them
a letter saying you owe them the sales tax, you don’t wait for your tax returns
and fill some field out on that, you make the payment on bricklink where bricklink
with charge, collect, and remit the sales tax to the proper authorities. I don’t
know if your answer is a random out of context quote from a help page or some
ai summary but I dont get what your trying to say


Sorry, Nubs, but sales tax can be remitted by each of us in the States to our
respective states through a use tax on our personal tax returns. That is what
we did before BrickLink started doing it.

yes, but if its thru a transaction where the buyer already paid the amount including
the tax to the seller, then even if they send it to the state, the seller is
still keeping the sales tax money, no? the only potential "workaround"
i could see is if a buyer choose to pay offsite, sent the seller the money minus
the sales tax and then somehow send the sales tax money to the government, but
the seller cant remit it as it was bricklink who was authorized to collect it
for that particular sale and not the seller (even if the seller is registered
for sales tax collection elsewhere, the bricklink sale can only be collected
and remited by bricklink not by the seller). or am i missing something?

I see what you are saying. Yes, it does get complicated with BrickLink as the
middleman in the situation. The seller could refund the tax portion to the user
and the user would then pay use tax. But there would have to be a way for BrickLink
to know this so that they would no longer be on the hook for the tax on that
transaction. Since BrickLink doesn't have a way to do that, the order really
needs to stay within the BrickLink ecosystem.

Interesting statement.

So those here whom have been granted resale licenses from their respective states
to collect and remit sales tax, whom additionally have been voicing their concern
over this topic ever since the whole "online tax collecting restrictions"
were said to be implemented, should now in your opinion, forfeit their lawful
right and obligation to their state governments?

Don't conflate "sales/use tax" with taxation elsewhere in the world
that BL is effecting. Here, it's a STATE legislated matter, not federal or
national as others might better understand it.

My point is that it remains an legal conundrum.

My point is that it remains an legal conundrum.

The seller makes the sales but in the eyes of the government it’s bricklink who
is the “deemed supplier” (at least that’s its name in some countries). When a
transaction goes thru bricklink, to a location that bricklink is authorized to
collect sales tax, the seller no long had the right to collect that sales tax
as bricklink is the only authorized one since it’s in their marketplace.

In short if you are a marketplace who is required to collect sales tax, all sales
tax collection responsibilities that are required are moved to the site and away
from the seller.

Yes this is from Europe and not the USA, but it is likely something similar just
different wording in the USA, we have something like it in Canada aswell

“Deemed suppliers is a new term introduced to the European law by changes from
1 July 2021. According to them, electronic interfaces (such as Amazon and eBay)
may be considered 'deemed suppliers' under certain conditions: if retailers
sell via this platform non-union products with a cost below €150, wherever the
company was established, and union products if a company was incorporated outside
the EU. Being 'deemed suppliers' means that these electronic interfaces
will be responsible for accounting for VAT, reporting, and paying it to the tax
authorities by themselves for a seller or a customer.”

And by the USA, I mean individual states, hence why bricklink dosent collect
sales tax in all states (unless those are just states that don’t have sales tax
but i thought there was at least 1 or 2 that have sales tax but not requiring
bricklink to collect)

Maybe stop while you're able to seem as being ahead, Jason

Your misunderstanding on this matter, was well understood sometime ago. Let's
see how it eventually plays out

What do you mean then? You seem to have me confused then as it seemed like you
were saying even if bricklink is charging sales tax, the seller can simply ignore
it and collect it themselves when the sale went thru a platform that was authorized
to collect it.

Interesting statement.

So those here whom have been granted resale licenses from their respective states
to collect and remit sales tax, whom additionally have been voicing their concern
over this topic ever since the whole "online tax collecting restrictions"
were said to be implemented, should now in your opinion, forfeit their lawful
right and obligation to their state governments?

Don't conflate "sales/use tax" with taxation elsewhere in the world
that BL is effecting. Here, it's a STATE legislated matter, not federal or
national as others might better understand it.

My point is that it remains an legal conundrum.

the only way to do that is to pay for the order onsite, you cant send them a
cheque or anything.

And the only way to do that is… drum roll please… paying onsite. Bricklink is
the only party authorized to charge and collect sales tax on the order.

Yes but if for some reason one doesn't pay sales tax on an item for which
he or she should have, he or she can remit "use tax" (at least that
is what it is called in NJ), which is the sales tax that should have been paid.
Like if I accidentally buy something for myself (instead of my store) and don't
pay sales tax, I pay the use tax in order to convert the item to personal property.

Yeah but that's up to the seller to make right, the buyer can't do anything
about that.

but in the technical terms the buyer in this case wouldn't have to pay the
government the taxes since they already paid them, just to a person who it wasn't
supposed to but someone who put themself in a position in which case its now
the problem of tax authorities and the seller

What should happen in a case like this is that the seller should refund the amount
of the sales tax to the buyer.

indeed, or more optionally refund it fully and then the buyer repay

I love using Bricklink but the sellers drive me crazy. I am not really familiar
with buying things online. Also most stores on Bricklink refuse service to a
user with negative feedback. And the seller wrote a bunch of lies in my negative
feedback he wrote about me after I gave him positive feedback. The only thing
true in the feedback is the fact that there were like 26 messages total between
the two of us but that was mostly because we did cash no COD and the seller kept
asking when the payment would arrive in the mail. I will consider keeping bricklink
but it depends on a few diffrent factors. One of the them and is the most important
is that my feedback removal request is approved.

One way of using bricklink os to entirely ignore a seller’s feedback history
and submit and order which naturally comes with problems and bad and idsrespectful
communication and incorrect instructions from that seller(this is your main
mistake) Then complaining and commenting about sellers on bricklink and saying
they make you crazy and would rather buy from a loval store. Your local store
would not have this huge selection of parts and sets. Sellers on ebay are far
worse in average than thos on bricklink.
As an established seller and also buyer on bricklink, i would not order under
any condition from a seller with such poor feedback history. Check feedback history
of me or any other seller on this thread and compare for yourself.
Most sellers disallow buyers with negative feedback to avoid issues and scams.
It is quite simple.

There are very good sellers on bricklink! I hope things get sorted out for you
and you stick around! Good luck 😀

If you have ordered from me or others who posted on this thread, we would only
allow you to pay via paypal or stripe onsite. Then you wouldn’t have had any
problem because we know how bricklink works. Your seller has over 7000 feedbacks
but he still doesn’t know how bricklink works.

All you need to do now is to order from a good sellerwho leaves feedback and
pay with paypal onsite. Once your feedback is zero or positive, you can order
from all others stores. For example, you can contact me to ordera few small parts
if you find something useful and i can give you a bypass. I think other sellers
who commented on this thread would be happy to help you too.

So many things wrong - avoiding taxes, creating a second account after administration
terminated(?) the first one and/or you've been blocked buying in the Shop,
etc.

About "What should I do about this seller" the question is more, what's
your problem?
You've got your order.
You're lucky if BrickLink doesn't merge both your accounts or simply
close this one.

I'd be you I'd cancel the original post and move on, especially with
more sane practices than paying cash an online order.

The seller had Cash No COD Listed in their store payment options but it wasn't
listed on the order page so I selected request invoice. Bricklink collects the
tax from the buyer when it comes to Cash No COD orders so I didn't avoid
taxes.

that is incorrect. bricklink adds a sales tax column, but does not collect it
unless its paid onsite, bricklink collects sales tax in only 1 way, during the
payment process when you make the payment onsite, bricklink adds a "partner
fee" to the transaction itself, that is when bricklink takes the sales tax,
it isn't billed to sellers and there is no way to remit it to them, it is
only collected during the process of the paypal/stripe window popup when you
make the actual payment

You've posted this screenshot twice now. It does not mean what you think
it means.

Firstly, it is a summary answer of the question you asked Google, and it was
answered by googles AI, Gemini. Googles AI summaries are notoriously incorrect.
Even if they were correct (which this one is not), they do not override the
terms of service on individual websites like Bricklink.

A few members have now told you that tax is collected by BL only via the onsite
payment method, and this is correct. You CANNOT pay this tax yourself by any
other means. You cannot send this payment directly to Bricklink, or the seller,
or the tax authorities, or me, or anyone else - it can ONLY be paid via onsite
payment during the checkout process.

Also I didn't create a second account for a bad reason. I created it because
my original account broke and Bricklink's help desk helped me resolve this
issue and I got to have a new account. I didn't know that the store I ordered
from was the same one that I was blocked from. If I did I would not have bought
from their store.

I am wanting to unregister my account but the seller refuses to cancel the order.
The order status must be set to either complete or cancelled in order for a user
to unregister their account. So now I have to wait until august when the order
is purged from the site.

Why do you want to unregister? If you no longer want to use bricklink then just
sign out and ignore the fact that you opened an account.

I could do that, but then Bricklink will still have my account information. If
I just ignore Bricklink then someone could hack into my account and make orders
they don't pay for.

So set the password to be some long string of random letters and symbols and
don't keep a record of it.

Alright I have found a solution I have talked to the Bricklink support team about
this and everyone who said offsite payments like cash don't collect tax is
correct. My idea is since it was a $48.52 including tax, shipping, and total
of the items then I can just give the seller the link to the paypal payment and
have them pay it since they already have the money. I would think that since
they got $50 and the order total was $48.52 then the seller wouldn't mind
doing it for me since they got a small tip.

this and everyone who said offsite payments like cash don't collect tax is
correct. My idea is since it was a $48.52 including tax, shipping, and total
of the items then I can just give the seller the link to the paypal payment and
have them pay it since they already have the money. I would think that since
they got $50 and the order total was $48.52 then the seller wouldn't mind
doing it for me since they got a small tip.

I’m genuinely not sure if it’s possible to send a link to the seller and have
them use their own PayPal account to pay that same account. (Tho is something
I truly have no idea either way so it might just work but it would be a very
unique thing indeed!)
Bets of luck!

I doubt they will do anything for you. If you look at their feedback they have
a little under 7300 feedbacks with 73 neutrals and 73 negatives with many of
them for shady business practices. Basically out of every 50 feedbacks they receive
one of them is a negative or neutral - VERY BAD record.

They refuse to even contact me. They delete my message about it without even
reading it. This seller is the reason I don't like buying on bricklink. It
is also why I am starting my own Lego Business.

You don't know this. They might read it in their email software, then delete
the messages in the bricklink message centre.

  This seller is the reason I don't like buying on bricklink.

That is a rather broad statement after one purchase.

  It is also why I am starting my own Lego Business.

Presumably not on bricklink? You will find selling LEGO is much harder than buying,
especially these days when so many people are doing it.
