File a paypal complaint if the seller remains unresponsive.

  I have placed an order on a store and he hasn't shipped in 3 weeks and hasn't
replied so I've logged a NSS, seller says he's refunded me but I haven't
received anything. (STRIPE PAYMENT). Am wondering how long I should wait for
the refund. (Refund initiated on 8th April)

Do not remove the NSS until you have Proof that the seller has refunded your
money and you have you have received your money back.

Seller is now suspended with Preventive action lol, not sure whether to just
sit here and wait or try and figure out what to do... it's a 3k order so
I'm pretty worried rn🥲

If the seller has been suspended, it probably means there have been several similar
complaints. You almost certainly will not hear back from the seller or get a
refund. You should be working with your bank immediately to get a reversal of
the charges. Was this an experienced seller with good feedback? I assume seller
did not offer paypal for payment. For a valuable order, I would not have recommended
using a payment method that did not give buyer protection.

My storage closet runneth over, looking to move some bulk out. I've been
busier at my day job and I don't seem to be finding time to get this sorted.

  Hi,

I am trying to complete my old Lego sets that are mostly from the 1980s, and
created several wanted lists (1 per set) in order to buy the missing parts.


Question:
How can I be sure that I am buying the (era)correct part?

Example: set "6951 Robot Command Center" from 1984 is missing 1x "Brick,
Round 2 x 2 with Axle Hole" = part 3941 in White.
However, the new part has a 'bottom ring' visible and the original parts
did not have that
(https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=3941&C=1#T=C&C=1).

So when using the 'buy all' option or selection all wanted lists that
I want to buy parts for, how do I know I get the correct part and not the newer
version?

Or has this option fully disappeared from Bricklink now?
In that case: what parts-buying site does still make the distinction between
versions of a part?


Many thanks for your help.
Kind regards,
Menno


All, thank you for your helpful replies!

  For a few weeks now you have to clarify with the seller whether it is the part
you want. So you can no longer use these functions.

That difference never was recognized in the catalogue by different entries, only
by a note as it is now.
You ALLWAYS had to clarify with the seller for such variants.


Then this entry is missing in the catalog.

Not really. There are loads of minor or unimportant variations that have never
been individually catalogued, just mentioned in notes.




Thank you all for the helpful comments.

I was under the impression that as there is a clear photo of the four different
variations AND there are an equal number of different Item Numbers, they should
be (have been) easy distinguishable...
Also, visually they are different - try to combine original era ones with new
ones and see how (awful) it looks.

Again, all thanks for your replies!
Kind regards,
Menno

  Hi,

I sell items from Vietnam. Some orders sold to Germany
automatically added VAT.

International sales?

Thank you!

You can't eliminate VAT - it will be collected either by BrickLink (if the
order is under 150 euro) or by customs in the buyer's country (if the order
is 150 euro or more).

To be clear: it’s German Import VAT, not Vietnam VAT.

BrickLink collects taxes from the buyers in these situations:
— US Sales tax: most US buyers, when they buy from any seller for any amount,
— UK import VAT: UK buyers, when they buy from non-UK sellers for less than £135
(items total),
— EU import VAT: EU buyers, when they buy from non-EU sellers for less than €150
(items total).
— Australian GST: AU buyers, when they buy from non-AU sellers for less than
AU $1,000 (items total).
— New Zealand GST: NZ buyers, when they buy from non-NZ sellers for less than
NZ $1,000 (by item).
— Norway import VAT: NO buyers, when they buy from non-NO sellers for less than
NOK 3,000 (by item).

UK/NO/EU VAT and AU/NZ GST are directly paid by the buyer for other amounts. 
Domestically (intra-UK, intra-NO, intra-EU, intra-AU, or intra-NZ), it’s handled
by the sellers when necessary.

Hey Everyone,

Opened my store just over a month ago but didn't know about this forum, so
thought I might as well look out for any feedback people might have..

The store is based in Australia and I started selling just domestically whilst
I took the time to figure out what I need for international shipping, pricing,
etc.
To which I think have got the information I needed and have opened up international
today in hopes to invite a larger audience as Australia is quite small compared
to the overall market from what I can see(around 4%).

I do understand that having more stock will be really beneficial and I have around
the same lot count in extra-storage that I am still yet to sort and add to inventory.
But as I have started this as a partial hobby, to get used to business-style
selling, etc, I only put a set starting amount of $1000 to build inventory as
well as a good amount of stuff I already had and am using any money made from
selling to reinvest back into more inventory.

Any feedback would be appreciated, whatever it may be.

Thanks in advance!

They left you feedback for an order on 5 April.
Check your feedback. You can click on the order number on that feedback to see
what you ordered.

It is also possible that you have already filed the order so it doesn’t show
on your orders page

I feel so very old now. Getting one of these was so awesome when they came out.
They didn't come with sets like the new ones do

Opening for the 2024 season. Looking for "Guest Builders" this year
to get a few projects done.

If you are near Bellaire, Ohio or traveling through let me know if you are available
and what type of building style you are into!

Thank you.

  HI there I'm thinking selling on this website. I wanted to ask a few questions
about it however.

#1 I have "Complete" sets, but there're original bricks are scattered
in my LEGO box. is it right/uncouth to sell something as "complete" if
I put the sets back together again from my vast lego box?


Yes you can list this as "Used, Complete" if the instructions are
missing you must state this in the description


  
#2 Is a mini figure still "new" if it has been gently taken care of in
a box of other minis, and never been played with and still shinny and unscratched?


Must be listed as "Used"

  
any help is appreciated! I would just like to know the "Dos and don'ts"
of selling LEGO's

Cheers Cy Kill's Garage!

here is the help page on the "item for sale Condition"
https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=102

Thank you all!

okay then another question, what started me on this was when I found my 20th
anniversary Lando figure still in great shape, and upon looking at the going
rate for him amounting at 45-50 dollars for him complete with stand, I was blown
away! so is he worth more with or without his set?

The figure alone sold 81 times the last 6 months while the set only sold 18 times
both in used condition

If you have the set I would sell it with him to make it complete

ok thanks!

Yes, it is official. However, we limited the scope of communication to members
who had initially shown interest in the development of this feature.

Hello Admin Russell,

I have in the past couple years sent a couple emails to the helpdesk requesting
this feature and have asked for the feature to be added on multiple occasions.
https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1390647

I sent a helpdesk request under other issues.

Since I need to send in a couple pdfs, hopefully there will be an email address
to attach the documentation to.

Alex

Use the link in this Help page for the exact email address:

https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=2467#exemptions

email address: bricklink@support.lego.com

subject line: US tax exemption


You should be able to send an attachment when using the email address.

Kind Regards,

Officially 2 weeks, but since we are focusing on this at the moment, it should
be considerably less.

  Yesterday I received two messages from one of the BL CE accounts, informing me
that US sellers are now able to submit their reseller certificate, in order to
be allowed tax exempt purchases.

I'm seeing no announcement about this in the Community. Is this official
? Personally, I do not see myself making use of it going forward, as I don't
wish to acquire additional inventory.

Nita Rae

Yes, it is official. However, we limited the scope of communication to members
who had initially shown interest in the development of this feature.

Hello Admin Russell,

I have in the past couple years sent a couple emails to the helpdesk requesting
this feature and have asked for the feature to be added on multiple occasions.
https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1390647

I sent a helpdesk request under other issues.

Since I need to send in a couple pdfs, hopefully there will be an email address
to attach the documentation to.

  HI there I'm thinking selling on this website. I wanted to ask a few questions
about it however.

#1 I have "Complete" sets, but there're original bricks are scattered
in my LEGO box. is it right/uncouth to sell something as "complete" if
I put the sets back together again from my vast lego box?


Yes you can list this as "Used, Complete" if the instructions are
missing you must state this in the description


  
#2 Is a mini figure still "new" if it has been gently taken care of in
a box of other minis, and never been played with and still shinny and unscratched?


Must be listed as "Used"

  
any help is appreciated! I would just like to know the "Dos and don'ts"
of selling LEGO's

Cheers Cy Kill's Garage!

here is the help page on the "item for sale Condition"
https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=102

Thank you all!

okay then another question, what started me on this was when I found my 20th
anniversary Lando figure still in great shape, and upon looking at the going
rate for him amounting at 45-50 dollars for him complete with stand, I was blown
away! so is he worth more with or without his set?

The figure alone sold 81 times the last 6 months while the set only sold 18 times
both in used condition

If you have the set I would sell it with him to make it complete

Used sets do not have to include either the instructions or extra parts.

LEGO is the same as deer, you don't add an "s" to the end to designate
multiple LEGO

One Deer -- Herd of Deer
One LEGO -- Box of LEGO
One Egg -- Dozen Eggs



Yes LOL I have recently learned that about LEGO bricks, i've always called
them LEGOs

Not you too

Lol forgive me for my blasphemy.

Read it and weep...

Mhm seems like prices are going up a bit

Stock up while they’re still cheap.

Only on permanent stamps, the price increase still applies if you'll apply
old stamps.

  Hello Everyone,
I need some advice and I hope someone can help. I placed a order on 03/29/2024
and paid immediately through PayPal.
On 4/2/24 I was messaged and told that one of the items couldn’t be found and
was asked if I wanted a different color or a refund, I chose a refund as I
already had lots of the other color. The refund was never given before shipping
and when I received the order on 4/8 the item wasn’t in there but that’s not
the worst part! There were multiple problems with either incorrect colors of
a item sent, wrong quantity, one item not Lego, incorrect items sent and one
other item missing. So I sent a message and stated the issues and said I would
just like a refund mainly because one item that was damaged is a hard to find
one and there was not another in the store. The next response from that store
came through regular email and not through the “my messages” area but in the
email it was stated that the corrected items would be sent out at the earliest
convenience. I responded through the “My Messages” and asked for the refund as
I ordered from another store since they didn’t have another of the “special”
item and I was going to have to pay for shipping from that new store anyways.
I have sent 3 messages since that one email from them and I’ve had no response
or refund (or even any items coming in the mail) and I was going to report a
problem order but I’ve made payment, received most of my items so I’m not sure
if that is the route I need to take. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,

  HI there I'm thinking selling on this website. I wanted to ask a few questions
about it however.

#1 I have "Complete" sets, but there're original bricks are scattered
in my LEGO box. is it right/uncouth to sell something as "complete" if
I put the sets back together again from my vast lego box?

#2 Is a mini figure still "new" if it has been gently taken care of in
a box of other minis, and never been played with and still shinny and unscratched?

any help is appreciated! I would just like to know the "Dos and don'ts"
of selling LEGO's

Cheers Cy Kill's Garage!

LEGO is the same as deer, you don't add an "s" to the end to designate
multiple LEGO

One Deer -- Herd of Deer
One LEGO -- Box of LEGO
One Egg -- Dozen Eggs

I think it’s ok so long as the colours are the same and the variants are the
same, and there are instructions.

  #2 Is a mini figure still "new" if it has been gently taken care of in

No, if you sell those as new you will be in trouble. You can only sell figs as
new if they are straight from the bag or assembled and put STRAIGHT into storage.

Yes, but you have to note in your listing if you don't have the box and/or
instructions.

  #2 Is a mini figure still "new" if it has been gently taken care of in

Nope. It's Used.

so long as what you have matches the bricklink invenoty there is nothing wrong
with selling a used set even if you parted it together from a big box

  #2 Is a mini figure still "new" if it has been gently taken care of in

you can only sell minifigres as new if they are handled only for sorting and
selling purposes. if you used them for any other purposes including display then
they are no longer new

if you start selling make sure to fully read the tos

Yes, it is official. However, we limited the scope of communication to members
who had initially shown interest in the development of this feature.

Good news. Is this LEGO group or just LEGO Bricklink?

Just BrickLink, and just for reselling. Non-profits like schools are currently
not covered.

Do not remove the NSS until you have Proof that the seller has refunded your

Seller is now suspended with Preventive action lol, not sure whether to just
sit here and wait or try and figure out what to do... it's a 3k order so

  Hi,

I am trying to complete my old Lego sets that are mostly from the 1980s, and
created several wanted lists (1 per set) in order to buy the missing parts.


Question:
How can I be sure that I am buying the (era)correct part?

Example: set "6951 Robot Command Center" from 1984 is missing 1x "Brick,
Round 2 x 2 with Axle Hole" = part 3941 in White.
However, the new part has a 'bottom ring' visible and the original parts
did not have that
(https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=3941&C=1#T=C&C=1).

So when using the 'buy all' option or selection all wanted lists that
I want to buy parts for, how do I know I get the correct part and not the newer
version?

Or has this option fully disappeared from Bricklink now?
In that case: what parts-buying site does still make the distinction between
versions of a part?


Many thanks for your help.
Kind regards,
Menno

Some sellers (like myself, though I'm probably too far away for you) sell
in a niche of vintage parts.

I have many parts with notations as to decade made and even what set its pulled
from. I'm sure you can find someone in Europe doing this, perhaps searching
the word "vintage" in shops that interest you. I know that works in mine

Good luck


Crystal

I’ve been having a hell of a time lately with new part outs. Mostly with dark
red and red brown. It’s so bad I started a box of rejects that I’ll just fill
up and sell by the pound.

I found some of those type of cracked parts and several 1x1 round plates with
cracked out sides (PLG) in the 50 pound lot I just finished up. Most likely there
are more that were unnoticed that I will have to deal with later. I cannot spend
days looking for tiny cracks in every part.

I know this is a different issue, but my last 3 orders from LEGO.com have been
missing a significant number of parts or whole sets. Luckily they have a good
customer service system, but it seems odd.

That difference never was recognized in the catalogue by different entries, only
by a note as it is now.
You ALLWAYS had to clarify with the seller for such variants.


Then this entry is missing in the catalog.

Not really. There are loads of minor or unimportant variations that have never
been individually catalogued, just mentioned in notes.

Funny.
I just did a build of over 9,000 pieces, all ordered from here.
Out of 14 little reddish-brown 1x1 round pieces, I broke 9 of them trying to
wedge them between 4 pegs. I didn't "cram"... I just set it in at
an angle, and gently pushed from above to level. SNAP. 9 times!

Link says “LegoS”

I usually still call them "Legos". I called them that my entire childhood
and didn't learn it was incorrect until I was an adult.

It feels more natural to me, and I'll take that trade-off even if it makes
me wrong.

30+ years ago that have held up better than these parts from under 7 years ago.

Anyone else seeing an increase in damaged parts from newer bulk used purchases?

I’ve been having a hell of a time lately with new part outs. Mostly with dark
red and red brown. It’s so bad I started a box of rejects that I’ll just fill
up and sell by the pound.

I guess they are the same as the ones in this article: https://eu.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2024/04/11/stolen-legos-california/73294210007/

  For a few weeks now you have to clarify with the seller whether it is the part
you want. So you can no longer use these functions.

That difference never was recognized in the catalogue by different entries, only
by a note as it is now.
You ALLWAYS had to clarify with the seller for such variants.


Then this entry is missing in the catalog.

Not really. There are loads of minor or unimportant variations that have never
been individually catalogued, just mentioned in notes.

Can you also implement this search query in the Wanted List?

  Hi,

I am trying to complete my old Lego sets that are mostly from the 1980s, and
created several wanted lists (1 per set) in order to buy the missing parts.


Question:
How can I be sure that I am buying the (era)correct part?

Example: set "6951 Robot Command Center" from 1984 is missing 1x "Brick,
Round 2 x 2 with Axle Hole" = part 3941 in White.
However, the new part has a 'bottom ring' visible and the original parts
did not have that
(https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=3941&C=1#T=C&C=1).

So when using the 'buy all' option or selection all wanted lists that
I want to buy parts for, how do I know I get the correct part and not the newer
version?

Or has this option fully disappeared from Bricklink now?
In that case: what parts-buying site does still make the distinction between
versions of a part?


Many thanks for your help.
Kind regards,
Menno
