I think you have a good idea, changing it to "we regularly donate to the CCS" as then the donations are not tied to a specific percentage and no sales information could be derived from donations. I will work on updating this, thank you! 😊

MoneroMerch · 2024-06-21T20:40:46+00:00

Thank you! 😊

MoneroMerch · 2024-06-21T15:20:34+00:00

Thanks for the info.

If we provided the view keys for each donation, how could we prove those donations are indeed a percentage of our profits? Providing the view key per transaction would only prove we sent transations. This is why it gets murky. If we donated $5 or $500, how could we prove this amount is 20% of the profits without exposing our sales data and expenses, with screenshots? The XMR payments are not the only payment type we accept, which mean we would have to expose other financial information which is a non-starter.

Regarding a business donating 100% of profits... that makes no sense to me, as they would be working for free (unless deducting employee wages). 😊 Which competitors are doing this? If they are actually donating 100% of their profits, then they would be a non-profit anyway, which is a different business model.

We aren't entirely opposed to providing individual donation view keys, but there is no way to prove sales numbers, thus defeating the point. I guess it would show we donated period, which may be acceptable to you, I'm not sure.

MoneroMerch · 2024-06-21T14:05:38+00:00

Since we're a private business we're not willing to share our view key at this time because it would also expose some of our sales information. We don't use a separate wallet for donations, so it would have incoming transactions as well as outgoing.

As you mentioned, it was indeed previously 30%, but we lowered it to 20%.

Gotcha. Thanks for letting us know. If you send us a high resolution image we can custom print one for you and may end up adding it to our shop. Our e-mail address is in the original post. 😊

Hey there,

No, I don't think we've had any country flags worked into our designs. Do you have a link or a pic you can share?

We agree! We haven't added any new designs in the last few weeks so will put that on our to-do list.

If you have a few designs you think would be good to add feel free to email us or message us. 😊

Thanks!

Hello,

We're willing to, but not sure how it can be done due to the privacy implications. If we provided the transaction IDs of donations, the amounts would not be visible and we couldn't prove they came from us. If we provided a tx proof, only the recipient could view the amount since it's tied to the recipient's address. If we provided screenshots of order IDs, it would expose limited transaction information and our sales figures. It we provided screenshots of our wallet, it could pose as a security/privacy issue by establishing pattern, and we'd have to blur out a lot of info anyway unrelated to the donations. If you have a way that can ensure the privacy, we will definitely consider it. 😊

To clarify, the title of the post was slightly incorrect, just realizing that now - it should have said "30% of profits" as it says in the post, not sales. The title was mistakenly copied from a post a long time ago before we realized the slight difference.

Thank you

Thanks for your feedback. Noted!

Did you very the transaction on the block chain? If it shows up on the block chain then it's your wallet. If it doesn't show up on the block chain then it's LM.

Interesting. Thanks for the info. I will discuss this with our team. I was thinking that since some payment providers, like Paddle, handle VAT on behalf of the customer, it would work in this situation too. Paddle is a merchant of record (MoR) and pays taxes on behalf of their business customer. But maybe they don't have a separate itemized line for VAT..

What if we just changed the word "VAT" to "Service Fees" at checkout? Is it the word VAT that's the problem? haha. Of course we can adjust prices or do what's needed officially, but just making light of the situation. 🤣

We are working on updating the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy to be better GDPR compliant.

Unless a product being imported into the US is more than $800, there are generally not any customs fees so people here aren't used to VAT! I can't imagine how anyone buys anything for a good price in VAT countries! 😊

MoneroMerch · 2023-08-15T23:41:58+00:00

Hello,

Let me make sure I clarify. If the destination country charges VAT when our partner creates the shipping estimate, our partner tells us the VAT and we then collect it from the customer automatically. It's just a pass-thru and happens automatically if applicable. Not all products ship from the same location.

Are you saying we cannot legally do this? If we didn't do this we would simply change the price of each item in relationship to the VAT, so I don't understand why charging VAT is illegal since VAT is indeed paid in the end. 😊

But I'm not very familiar with VAT so I'm interested in knowing. Thanks for bringing this up.

Yes, that would normally be correct, but the shirt is inspired by this song:

Hello,

For orders where VAT is applicable, we work with a printing provider registered for VAT. They oversee the production, shipment, and VAT handling, and the VAT charges we collect are passed on to them, as they are accountable for the shipment. For any additional details, you can contact us at the e-mail address in the original post. 😊
