By placing 50+ orders. It isn’t that rare, in the past I got about ~40 of multiple
promos (and no those weren’t ones that were limited availability they were available
for many weeks on end)

40712-1 (Inv) Micro Rocket Launchpad

I was just checking to see what's the average price, and there's a number
of sellers who has 50+ of this set somehow. The set was gift with purchase from
LEGO. Either someone placed multiple orders with LEGO to get 50+ sets or they
got it from another means.

Any idea how would someone get 50+ of 40712 sets legally?

those are all in china. rules are very different there. look at US only listings
its only 1-3 qty with one person having 10 as the most available.

I didn't have to do any verification like that. Honestly without knowing
exactly what you are describing, it sounds a bit like further phishing. My verification
was only in an email from Russell. As for response time, unfortunately, I was
hacked at 1030PM and had to fend off the hacker for 7 hours while I waited for
an admin to wake up lol

FYI I think we've got Rick's situation sorted out.

Our admin staff does not have access to the communcations with various members
over the years, so they cannot act as quickly or with as much confidence. Because
of the sensitivity of the situation, they follow a strict protocol that puts
security above everything else.

We have been on BL for 18 years and selling for all of those 18 years, why is
BL now wanting us to do a seller verification? We were hacked and we are fixing
things as we go and we found the verification? Is this new and why would it
come up after 18 years?

What are they asking for to re-verify you?

They want name and date of birth and copy of photo ID

They are possibly just trying to verify they are speaking with you and not the
hacker. When I was hacked, Admin Russell asked me some questions that only I
would know the answer to in order to verify that the hacker didn't have access
to my email as well.

-Pete

This page asking for verification of the "Owner" of the store, name DOB
and Copy ID. But we keep getting form not filled out correctly which it is.

This has turned off ability for our customers from being able to pay. So we
cannot get any orders, this just came out of the blue and we have been selling
for 18 years.

How long did it take for you to get Russel to help you out. I have sent 2 messages
to him and have not heard from him yet.

I have customers ready to place orders but they cannot checkout.

So I asked a seller to cancel an order and they did (Its now set to canceled

or do I need to recontact them to ask what's up?

There is a notice on the seller end when we process refunds that it can take
a few days, but from my experience (only with partial refunds for overpaid shipping)
it takes a few hours. When did they cancel the order?

Okay
Last Night. I bought the wrong thing and emailed them , and they canceled it
no issue. I Had bought 2 things and canceled them both but one guy instant refunded
me and the other hasn't issued a refund.

Mmmmmh if it's paid PayPal or Stripe onsite you can see in your order if
it's been refunded or not.

I'm not sure to understand?

Comments from Submitter:
Bought the set new from LEGO in 2011 and my part inventory only has the jumpers without grooves for this color. Included possible alt pieces for used sets.

We only add alternates to sets when those pieces actually came in a new set.
Since there is no proof that the others ever came in the set, they will not be
included in the inventory.

Cheers,
Randy

I don't think it makes a difference. The ability to set your own default
settings for searches (whether on want lists or catalogue searches) has been
suggested many times before.

Too bad, it would be a great feature to have. Saves a lot of time for the bigger

I had a couple of these this in my inbox this morning. They looked completely
legitimate. I did login in to BL from my work computer yesterday. When I have
logged in from work before, I have never gotten an email like this, but I thought
that maybe it was a new security feature.

Anyway, with a very official looking email in hand, I clicked the suggested logout
from all devices link and had just about entered my credentials in the new window
to log back in when I noticed two minor things that seemed just a bit off. I
won’t mention those things in case the fraudsters are reading. I looked at the
URL and it was very close to BrickLink’s (it was not the .net one that was mentioned
before). Needless to say, I immediately changed my PW and reenabled the one-time
PIN (I had turned it off because I was being repeatedly prompted for a new PIN
over very short time spans even when I hadn’t logged out). I’ll also be downloading
my inventory

BE DILIGENT! I’m a pretty suspicious person when it comes to online activity,
but, in my groggy state when I woke up this morning, I almost fell for a phishing
scheme presented as a very authentic looking email.

I don’t know why BrickLink has suddenly become such a juicy target. These people
have no hope of accessing any of my monetary accounts. I assume the goal is
to gain access to a legitimate shop so they can list high-dollar items to scam
other members.

I don’t envy the task that management has ahead of them, but they need to take
some substantive action soon. This is not a primary income stream for me, so
at some point, when all the gummy spam, phishing attempts, and slow helpdesk
response times become too much, I may simply close my store for a while. I don’t
need the extra headache of worrying about online security for a part-time job.
Had I fallen victim to this phishing attempt, I’m really not sure how much effort
I would have put into trying to recover my account. BrickLink just feels like
a dicier selling proposition lately.

Had one last night and it went right to my spam folder. Could tell right away
it was not from Bricklink.

Absolutely, you can disable any shipping method.

Simply create a new one (as a copy of), and forget the previous.
Later on, next year for example, simply delete the disabled ones.

Comments from Submitter:
Both parts are used to build the flying scooter in booklet 3 on page 111:
https://www.lego.com/cdn/product-assets/product.bi.core.pdf/6455444.pdf

I have found 6 different versions of the third booklet, some may only have differences
in paper size.

The only changes are as follows:

- The bar (part 4083) underneath the scooter has been replaced with the two aforementioned
plates. This can be seen in step 858 on page 111.
- The trans-yellow jewel and trans-yellow head has been replaced with new designs
(different PCCs on page 165).

So I will accept these changes but mark them as redesign alternates.

good spot. i see his store is closed with a message that he is under attack.

In your store settings do you have One-Time PIN enabled? It's there for
your store protection, and BrickLink may have automatically turned it on in the
wake of recent hacked accounts. You can turn it off if you want, just be careful
of your account if you do.

Depending on what you have set/parts things can take a long time to sell especially

A salient question, Penny. Especially for the diehard Lego SW collector...

Never had any of the magnet set version you're asking about, so I couldn't
say with enough certainty. But the original doesn't have (not always) the

- Turn off the payment

I think in that picture there are red glints that are artifacts from photography.
I am pretty sure that the eyebrows are referring to the shape of the eyes that
seem to have eyebrows mushed into them. They DO give the effect of angry eyebrows
and it was probably meant that way, I guess, but the idea of a skeleton having
eyebrows is actually pretty strange.

That makes me feel much better. I thought I was loosing my mind there for a minute.....
oh, wait, I did, but not over that.

Thanks!

Hi,

Min/Max pick all the matches, all the lines shown in the search.

So if one line in you Wanted List matches several lots in the shop, Min/Max will
add the min/max quantity for ALL of them.

That works if the Condition is Any: it matches both New and Used lots.
But it also works that way for the colour Not Applicable: it matches all the
colours in the store.

One may consider that a bug, or a feature. 🤷‍♂️

In Terms and Policies, Saitobricks.ca writes:

I noticed that the studio terms say that you can’t post creations of sets released
by LEGO.

Precision: You’re talking about the “Studio Gallery terms,” not the “Studio terms.”

For Studio itself: You can do whatever you want with Studio if you keep your
creations to yourself. And if you distribute the results (free or for a fee),
whatever the support (.io file, PDF, paper, vellum, qipu…), IP laws apply. That’s
the same restrictions as with a pencil.

Is that a no LEGO sets at all, or a no direct copies that you can make money
off of?
[…]
Also it says no brand names yet on the published studio creations I see dozens
of brand name cars, and movie based creations.

What’s going on?!?!?

Complete explanations:
https://studiohelp.bricklink.com/hc/en-us/articles/360042355033-Studio-Gallery-submission-guidelines

Summary/rewording:

1. There’s different levels of access:
— Private: the design is not on the Gallery. My Studio, the place where you
upload your designs, only serves as a private repository (“in the cloud”).
— Display: the design is on the Gallery, but other members can only see images
and a 3D view.
— Full: the design is visible to all, other members can have the parts list,
can use EasyBuy, and (if you opt in) can download the .io file.

2. What’s forbidden (religion, military, violence, brands logos…) is set to Private
by the admins.

3. What’s IP protected is set to Display (or rather, is not accepted to Full).
IP (mostly) means copyrights and trademarks. That includes anything that says
it is, or obviously is, based on someone else’s brands or designs.

So, for official sets:
— If you build an official set in Studio and put it on the Gallery, it’ll be
Display.
— If you build a MOD of an official set (“hey, look what I built with the parts
of set XXX”), it’ll be Display.
— If you build a MOC that complements an official set (“hey, look, a 3rd floor
for modular 10xxx-1”), it’ll be Display.

So I can publish released LEGO sets so long as no one can download them?

I did a few yesterday with fake details. They instantly ask you for the OTP once
you have entered the account details, so presumably they are not being read by

66% of quotes I provide are accepted. I like this system and I don't think
it is a waste of time. I think that is because the buyer actually fills out a
cart.

I think my post was vague. I've had quotes enable in my shop since the beginning.
I even have a link in my terms to the BL help page for how to request a shipping
quote.

My own conversion rate is about 1/3, mostly because international buyers are
shocked a the shipping cost.

I found something similar.

When I was shipping internationally, most quotes were not accepted but I believe
that was mainly because (1) most domestic customers should not need to ask for
a quote as the shipping prices should have been clear from terms (or later, from
IC) so I got few domestic quote requests and (2) the high shipping prices for
lowish value international orders were nearly always rejected.

Once I stopped shipping internationally, I didn't get many quote requests
as domestic shipping was nearly always already calculated though IC so there
should not be any reason to ask for a quote. I can understand asking for a quote
when IC did not calculate shipping for larger sets or very heavy orders. But
I really don't know why some buyers were still asking for quotes when IC
would have calculated it for their prospective order. Nearly all the of the few
I received on such prospective orders did not actually lead to an order once
I entered the same postage costs as IC would have told the buyer. I can only
assume they were hoping that I would give them a lower price than what was being
shown to them through the checkout.

Somehow, a large list of Bricklink account emails was acquired within the last
few months

Not necessarily in the last few months, there have been waves of spam targeted
at sellers several times previously - I know I had several around April 2022
purporting to be from a genuine store here about bulk purchasing, and there were
a lot of comments from others about the same thing.

It's very easy to get sellers' emails at least, all it needs is a little
automation rather than any hacking. Every time someone sends you a contact message
enquiring about an item in your store, if they request a copy to their email
I believe it will include the seller's address. I think we all get obvious
timewaster enquiries from time to time and just dismiss them.

I'd be very curious if people with only buyer privileges have also had these
spam messages.

I am a buyer only and I have gotten several of these emails in the last several
days. I have only been on the platform for about a year so if there was a release
of emails it is fairly new.

66% of quotes I provide are accepted. I like this system and I don't think
it is a waste of time. I think that is because the buyer actually fills out a
cart.

Can I get help understanding what the ability is for requesting quotes?

https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=2437

If a seller offers the Quote button then they presumably have to respond, but
otherwise (such as contacting them via BL messaging) there is no responsibility

A seller does not have to respond. If they do, the quote is good for 3 days.

All too many sellers offer no clear pricing for shipping, and I'm not about
to get snookered into paying 30%+ for shipping. In addition, most sellers don't
have a Quote option. This seems quite anti-consumer.

This is because most quotes don't result in a sale, which is a waste of the
seller's time.

66% of quotes I provide are accepted. I like this system and I don't think
it is a waste of time. I think that is because the buyer actually fills out a
cart.

Of the remaining 33% that are not accepted, a good number are cancelled because
parts were purchased by someone else.

Yes and this is exactly the reason I mention in this thread why I believe stock
should be held for 24 hours during the quote period. Giving buyers confidence
in being able to secure parts without being subjected to store terms that are
easily overlooked encourages confidence in buyers to be less hesitant over placing
orders/quotes and more likely to spend more money!
Quite often if a buyer wants certain items badly enough they will just quickly
place their order before they get snapped up by someone else there is often no
further opportunity to continue browsing a store to include other items since
the order is then already placed!

Zou het iets te maken kunnen hebben met de DAC7 regels van de EU? Dus dat BrickLink
verplicht is om aanvullende gegevens van jou te verzamelen en deze naar de Belastingdienst

Net als op bijvoorbeeld Marktplaats en Vinted? Wel raar dat je winkeltje gesloten

Change filters on Wanted Lists

Hi,

Each time I have been logged out of Bricklink and I am heading to my wanted lists.
I have to manually adjust the settings I always use. From 25 per page
to 100 per page. When I change the amount per page, Bricklink always changes
the sort by from Color, Item name to Item Name. Although I want
to keep the Color, Item name as default.

Are there settings somewhere hidden in Bricklink so I can change these settings
to a default without having to do it each time?

You have some very good points here. The whole communication architecture on
BrickLink is definitely in need of some upgrades. They may want to start looking
into it sooner rather than later.

For example, every transaction I have on eBay has everything done through the
eBay platform. There is never any communication outside of the platform between
myself and anyone that I purchase something from. In that way, the user on the
other end remains completely anonymous. It would be a good model to look into.

That is partly so they can monitor communication and partly (probably mostly)
to stop deals being done outside of eBay. Anonymity is just a by-product. Here,
any businesses selling on ebay (or elsewhere) are required to have their identity
and address shown before a buyer decides to buy.

As someone not in any LEGO groups (or at least not using my BL email address),
and am still getting the scam emails, I am certain it related to either the hack
or fake contact/orders on BL that can harvest seller emails. Had a lot of these
orders, immediate cancel request, and no contact there after a few months back.
I know it was to phish my seller info as often as the pattern was repeated exactly.
But even messages we reply to can do this as the system still lonks our email
to those. It really should not do this unless an order is placed, or even confirmed
as paid by the system (instant or seller marked). Simply put, contact info should
remain better protected until a transaction is deemed legit. BL is largely an
open book for all seller info if the party wanting to phish it knows how the
site works.

Waltzking

Is there any need at all for buyers/sellers to see each other's email contact
info even on legitimate orders? Maybe I've been using instant checkout and
the pay now button for so long I have forgotton, but it has been a while since
a buyer has made a payment directly to my email address. Since BrickLink implemented
sales tax collection, all (at least all of my) payments are negotiated through
PayPal Marketplace.

Maybe other payment methods require an email address.

I know some people send photos via email (if only we could attach photos to a
BL message!).

I'd be perfectly happy to have "public-facing email address" be an
option that I can enable/disable at will.
