Just realized I have been selling on Bricklink (Brickbay it was called back then)
for 25 years now!
I believe the currency on Brickbay was $ only at the time but I may be wrong.
In the Netherlands we still paid by guilders in 2000 ...
It's a long period, many things have changed on the site, but I still enjoy
selling here!
Hope to serve my fellow Lego enthousiasts for another 25 years at least.

Sure it was, and even when I arrived in 2005/2006!
For a few years maybe we had to invoice in USD, and even the VAT had to be converted
in $ !
And of course, due to PayPal exchange rate we always lost a bit but had to pay
the real invoiced VAT amount in EUR...
That was really a mess!

Thanks Peter to still be here with us; you're one of the best and kindest
sellers I've met on this site, sincerely!

Do you remember how people from around the World would send actual cash money
as payments? I recall receiving as much as US $ 400 cash from Australia and
I once sent US $ 600 to a seller in Italy.
Direct Bank Transfers were great, too. No Cost to the seller, YAY.
In fact, before Paypal, all the old payment types were NO COST to the seller
-- the Buyers had to pay all fees and costs. Ah, the good old days. Cash,
Checks, Money Orders, Western Union, and EFT.

Congrats Peter,
I have closed my stopped selling parts and sets many years ago and now I have
stopped selling instructions here about a year ago. Actually I have also recently
sold off 95% of my Lego inventory to a friend. I kept some of my favorite builds.
I will be building digitally from now on. Just don't have the time and space
for the Lego collection. Also needed the money for a deck rebuild.
