Bricklink must legally comply with SB-478 Consumers Legal Remedies Act, which
will be the law in the state of California effective July 1, 2024.

Personally rather than create a system that specifically targets California sellers,
I would prefer a prohibition on the practice of unnecessary fees sitewide.

The practice itself is deceptive, because it manipulates the price guide, making
some sellers prices look artificially cheap.


Under the Consumers Legal Remedies Act, Section 1770(a)

The unfair methods of competition and unfair or deceptive acts or practices
listed in this subdivision undertaken by any person in a transaction
intended
to result or that results in the sale or lease of goods or services to any consumer
are unlawful:

(29) (A) Advertising, displaying, or offering a price for a good or service
that does not include all mandatory fees or charges other than
either of
the following:

(i) Taxes or fees imposed by a government on the transaction.

(ii) Postage or carriage charges that will be reasonably and actually
incurred to ship the physical good to the consumer.
