In Suggestions, 1001bricks writes:       Ok, but until all stores start removing the min. buy treshold, it remains a problem (regardless of what you do in your specific store). It's not "a threshold": a minimum sale is a minimum. It's a policy, a term, a choice from the seller. Euh, it's still a treshold you need to reach before being able to buy. But it's just discussing the meaning of words now.    Also, otherwise: * people would pay extras to the seller without providing BrickLink fees on sales, which isn't correct, * shops will then have silly competitive prices (down to zero), but will simply ask for "an extra donation of 10€" * what about taxes, are this donation dubject to VAT, Sales taxes, whatever? * PayPal: will not allow partial refund, so the donation will be refunded in case of problem... Millions of problems with this proposal, which wants to ignore people ask a minimum sale *for reasons*. "Millions". Really? But as I have answered just now in another reply: I'm sorry I confused people with the charity part. Forget the charity part. Or even the term "donation". The main part is really simple: add an amount of money to an order without actually ordering extra items to reach that min. buy. Just to be able to buy the part you really need, without forcing you to search for extra items raising the shipping fee, while still satisfying the seller having his min. income on the order.
