As part of EU Digital Services Act (DSA) compliance, the BrickLink team is introducing seller account self-certification. This page will be updated with more DSA requirements as we move forward with each. What is the Digital Services Act (DSA)?EU Digital Services Act is a law aimed at creating a safe online environment across online platforms, such as BrickLink. More specifically, DSA focuses on illegal and harmful online content. A required step we are taking is enabling self-certification for BrickLink sellers. The DSA requires that all sellers must certify that they are providing products and services that are in compliance with European Union law by February 16, 2025. What does the self-certification procedure look like?On December 5 2024, all BrickLink sellers will be presented with the following popup when they log in:
Existing Sellers must self-certify that their products and services are compliant with European Union law by February 16, 2025. The stores who do not complete the self-certification by the deadline will have their seller privileges revoked on February 17, 2025. If sellers choose to self-certify after February 16, they will need to go to their Orders Received page to view the popup and check the self-certification box. New stores will become compliant after they check the applicable checkbox during the New Seller Verification process. If I am not selling to the EU, can I opt out of the DSA self-certification requirement?No. DSA seller self-certification is required for all sellers. Even though many of our transactions fall out of the regional scope for DSA, we are committed to keeping our community safe on a global scale. This means that all sellers must self-certify if they wish to continue selling on BrickLink. I’m a buyer, not a seller. How does DSA affect my account or BrickLink user privileges?As a buyer you do not need to complete any type of self-certification. However, if you decide to upgrade to a seller account, you will need to self-certify during the New Seller Verification process. What happens if I have not self-certified my store by February 16, 2025?If you do not self-certify by February 16, 2025, your store will be suspended. You will be able to re-open your store if you choose to self-certify at any point after that. The self-certification requirement applies to all sellers who wish to continue selling on BrickLink. |
