LEGALLY, this applies to (EU) business sellers only - (real!) private sellers may very well refuse this responsibility, unless they accept PayPal payments...    At least in the Netherlands this is incorrect. ANYONE selling something to another person is legally (through consumer law) responsible for getting the goods in the hands of the buyer in the agree condition. So damaged or lost shipments are always the seller's responsibility, business or private. AFAIK, consumer law address legal details between (business!) sellers and CONSUMERS only - this does not cover purely private transactions, regardless of a payment involved or not. [And yes: this exception will NOT apply to the vast majority of BrickLink transactions]    Well, I did personally contact the consumer law's organisation about this some while ago, and they were very clear to me that the law in question covered ALL transactions, including private-private. interesting...    This is irrespective of payment method or whatever, when person A buys something from person B than B is responsible for getting the item to A. I specifically made the distinction between private and bussiness, but they said there is no difference. This is info I got from those who should know the applicable law in the Netherlands... Absolutely. So as a Dutch seller, you have a hard time selling ANYTHING anywhere - even your old clothes at eBay or anything else. I wonder if they are sponsored by TNT to inrease their turnover through registration services Thanks for letting me/us know! Jan this all doesn't mean that it wouldn't be difficult for a buyer to get his money back in case of lost shipment, in the end you will have to go to police/court and for small buys this can be costly... So it's more theory than anything else... As you know, we have a thriving site called Marktplaats for 2nd hand stuff... Most of the time, things work out well. Richard
