That is for regular people and companies. I'm sure they could find a way
round if they wanted to do it. Such as having three different LEGO BL stores,
one for standard parts, one for bestsellers Europe and one for bestsellers North
America, or however many locations they ship from.
But it would still go back on what they said originally, and I think would damage
new parts sales from regular sellers who would then shift their stores completely
to brickowl. Moving both used and new parts sellers, moving customers and losing
BL fees.

We don't know how lucrative PaB is, but I am sure it isn't just for the
benefit of lego enthusiasts. If TLG were to capture more actual sales then just
fees, I am sure they would be making more money then just fees alone. So if a
brick only costs a few cents to manufacture and they can capture the same profit
as PaB that will be more than 3-2% of what a part sells for on here.
Example:
PaB part cost to manufacture, 5 cents, sells for 10 cents that is 5 cent profit.
Where a seller sells that part at 10 cents TLG makes 2 cents (from a major seller).
Sure you can say but TLG has overhead, where? They are already manufacturing,
storing, sorting for sets and PaB so no additional overhead.
TLG has a global foot print, way more than any seller has on here along with
better shipping rate options.

Sure they could try to capture more of the market for inividual new parts, but
at what long term cost? They cannot keep up with PAB standard as it is. PAB best
seller is OK for speed but that s relatively small inventory.
If they aim to kill small businesses selling on bricklink then there is little
point in owning bricklink. Longer term,it would be worse for sellers and buyers.
