I do not believe this is accurate. Any package without movement within 2 months
is considered lost.

Where did you get this 2 month "rule"?

  Fellow BrickLinkers,

We are currently closing up to hit order No 25 miljon! What a ride and what a
great achievement from all you members - seller and buyers!

So as a number nerd - if the 25th million order happens to be placed at my store
I will refund all cost and ship it for free anywhere in the world! This offer
limits to an order value of maximum 200 $ or 200 €.

And also - if your store gets it and you post proof in this thread I will give
you 50 % off on an order for you too - up to order value of 200 $/€.

So, what day will it happen? Any day next week?

Also fun to hear if any have had any special order numbers in the past. I don't
think I have but had two orders in numerical order once!

/Niclas

I once got 3 orders in consecutive numerical order once. They all came in within
1 minute.

I put a post about it on the forum but i can't find it.

I remember. If it helps you find more on the topic, Niek showed himself as
the unofficially point man on this topic. If fact, I believe he achieved the
similar in consecutive order numbers. Anyway, the man is very good at this type
of data analyst and expression: https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1320396


  
I hope i get the 25 millionth order!!

Get busy buying and selling

  Can anyone help?

After 6 months of not getting my money back for a refused international package.
(shipping was 50% higher than quoted, so I sent the package back)

You would have known the shipping charges when you paid. Are you talking about
customs fees or taxes? Was there a VAT form attached to your parcel?

  
The seller (Oasis in South Carolina) refused to refund my money until the package
came back to him. There is no detailed tracking on return packages, but it shows
that it came into the USA on October 28th.

He told me that it could take 6 months for it to come back. Since it is almost
6 months, I want to check back with him.

I do not believe this is accurate. Any package without movement within 2 months
is considered lost.

  
All of my prior orders are gone and so are my old messages.

BrickLink purges all non-problem orders after 6 months.
  
I was able to download the order (without much details, but it had the prices).

You would have received a detailed invoice when you made your purchase. Find
it in your email account.
  
Is there a way to get back my messages? Or order? I did not delete these things.

No, but BrickLink messages should also be sent to your email. Have a look!
  

Unless your seller failed to attach the VAT receipt to your order, whatever charges
that occurred were likely not their fault. However, 6 months is a ridiculous
time frame and they should have responded to you by now with either a refund
or a resolution you could both agree to.

Good luck,
~Jen

You cannot have a minimum buy for shipping internationally and no minimum buy
for domestic. You can only have one minimum buy value for the store. If you try
to do it through the shipping settings, it will normally offer whatever default
shipping method you have when all other shipping methods fail. So if you only
have an international shipping option above a certain cart value, you will still
get orders below that, but that shipping option won't be offered. They are
still valid orders though, in that they reach your minimum buy for the store
(of zero, since you don't have one).

Yes but no - see my post:
https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1464775

I thought you could set up a fail safe international method with a minimum.
If it doesn't allow you to buy, then there's no shipping method, then
the buyer won't be able to buy.

I'm not sure, never tried, no minimum or such here, but it seems logical
to me?

I don't know now, maybe possible you can. I don't ship internationally
any more to try.

But whatever they do, the default shipping if everything else fails should have
the international shipping destinations turned off.

I need to sell all my minifigures/items that I have for sale on Bricklink. I
am moving and can’t take items with me.

There is 2133 Minifigures/items with a total of over £13,000. I am open to sensible
offers. I have sold items everyday since I opened it in October.

Please take a look at my store (A World of Minifigures) or message me.

You don't say in which exact cases it doesn't work (country, amount...)

I would NOT set min buy for the shop, as you did I think.

I would set min buy to the Shipping Methods, but:

* don't miss one (may arrive if you've multiples)

* type decimals using "." dot and not a coma "," or simply
avoid decimals (like 20 instead of 20.00)

I have a shipping setup for Domestic (works perfect) and a shipping for International
(only 4 countries included). Only for the international one i have added a minimum-buy,
because with all the documents its just to much work otherwise.

I did not add the ,00 - bricklink does it automatically when saving. It's
also the correct way (mathematically) its always a , never a . so i guess this
should not be the issue and can't be changed manually anyway.

But thanks for your feedback.


I tried for more than 20€ it shows "via Europe Zone 1 (DE, IT, FR, AUS)"

For less than 20€ that seems to be a manual "via Request for invoice"

So the problem is in the via Request for invoice method?

You should have a manual method for local, and a manual one for other countries,
with a minimum.

I for the life of me can't work out what the 2x4 black plate is for?

It doesn't show any use in the instructions and you can't see it in any
of the photos of the set anywhere.

Cheers

I think if you buy all the wave you can join the minifgis stands with the black
plate by the middle bottom.

Thanks, that makes sense.

Not super clear on the instructions.

Cheers
