the payment in the first place. Bricklink doesn’t own our inventory.

I assume this is a theoretical observation.
I am not a lawyer, but I think differently:
* A buyer has found a seller who has the items they want through this platform
(BrickLink).
* By going offsite for the transaction, the seller does not pay the fees associated
with the transaction.
* I assume part of the fee covers the service that BrickLink has provided.
* This does not consider any other taxes that may need to be considered for the
transaction.

I don't know how it works in your country, but bricklink will have a record
of all the cancelled orders in your store. If they observe a large number of
cancelled orders (for whatever reason) can they pass this information to tax
authorities so they can investigate the number of private transactions you have
made where you either didn't collect tax or collected tax and might not have
passed it on correctly?

As a registered business in USA we can collect our own tax and submit it at the
end of the year. Bricklink just collects it and remits it on our behalf. There
is no tax evasion. I'm just saying due to bricklink not accepting payments
for paid-pending orders not all orders in general.

Also, BL collects US sales tax for all the states that require it. I don’t think
_Brick_Slayer_ does that, or can even do that (they would need to be registered
in all the states, no?).
They made the marketplace laws for a reason: taxes were not paid and they couldn’t
make the sellers in other states collect it.
