I was wondering how one would sell the minifig cmf sets? I am selling them as
new but the substatus is somewhat hazy to me. A lot of sellers sell as new and
complete but throw away the box. I would rather (for storing purposes but also
for cheaper shipping) lose the box and sell them in a ziploc bag...

What is the policy on this? And how strict is it? If it is strict, I'm just
going to scan them and sell the boxes as is

Hello, I’m a new seller with two sales under my belt. It’s been great so far.
I have a few cool Lego Star Wars sets for sale and I’m offering them at 20% off
because, well… May the 4th be with you.
With the sale, my prices are very competitive and I would like to promote it.
Is there a way to promote stuff on sale?

I had a buyer send money to my paypal direct instead of through Bricklink.

How do I get the Vat and fees to Bricklink to show that the buyer has paid and
I can get a VAT invoice?

Greetings fellow Bricklink sellers,

I have moved into a new place with more space and looking to reorganize my sticker
lots. I am currently using an accordion style folder organizer, which has been
ok but I have too many stickers so it is not the most ideal.

I am curious what every one else is using to organize their stickers?

Regards,
Quinton

Any sucessfully recieve their exemption?

Bricklink emailed a list of members two weeks ago allowing sellers to apply,

I responded with my sales tax certificate, they asked for an additional form
which I provided. Now its radio silence for a week and still no exemption.

I just went through the same process with Uline and it took an hour:/

Hey everyone,

I've been thinking recently and I have come to the conclusion that I want
to sell a large part of my personal collection. One part of this collection includeds
a lot of older used sets, mostly ninjago and starwars. They are all mostly complete
but I don't know for sure, and I don't really have the time to check
every single one individualy. The seccond part of the collection are a lot of
minifigures, from a large variaty of themes, both new and used. How would I
best go about selling these?

Any tips would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

I am unsure what to do- I have sent multiple messages to the bricklink help desk
over the past weeks but they just seem to go into the ether with no acknowledgement
and no answer. I was late paying my store fees and only notcied when my store
was suspended (this is NOT my profession, just a hobby thus I dont check these
things very often). I piad the fees immediately yet STILL my store is suspended.
According to Bricklink's own rules, the suspension should be immediately
lifted when the past due is paid. I have no idea what to do here as I get no
reply from BL. I never expected such terrible service from a Lego entity. Rather
disappointing. Oh fair community of brickers, any suggestions???

When i run an end of year report on Stripe and I look at a transaction where
Bricklink has also collected taxes, the fee amount shown consists of both the
Stripe fee and the Bricklink collected taxes. I just want to know the Stripe
fee? Is there an easy way to do this that I'm missing? Nubs?

Hello, new seller here.

I just started selling here and I have some rare parts/figs. I know making
my first sale won't happen right away, but I was wondering if my prices are
alright. If you guys have any remarks please feel free to tell me

So I have a buyer who contacted me and asked if they could add some more items
to an order that has not yet been shipped. Of cause I'll make that happen,
but I'd prefer to let this run through Bricklinks system as well instead
of just adding the parts off the book, because this would make handling it for
me easier.

But I'm struggling to find a way to give this user free shipping without
opening it up for all buyers. So far I've tried:

- Issue a coupon for the shipping costs, this didn't work because a coupon
is limited by the value of the order and because my buyer wants to add items
for less than the shipping costs they would only get the value of the items for
free but still would have to pay the full shipping costs.

- Create a "Free Shipping Method" with a very high min-buy and a bypass
password. This didn't work because the password seems to only lift the global
minimum buy restriction, but no shipping methods are displayed during checkout.

Do you have any suggestions on how I could handle this and give this user free
shipping without asking them to upfront it and than sending it back?

I finally got my quote requests working thanks to some help from the forum.
Then my first quote comes in from a buyer in Oregon (no sales tax). Would the
taxes field normally auto-populate or do you have to manually enter that? in
this case the field was blank and I left it blank.

I have massive quantities of classic colors of brick I've been listing, and
it hasn't really been selling. Does anyone ever sell large quantities of
brick at once? Thank you!!!

Hi
I have 412 items worth over £2,500 in my store.

If anyone is interested in buying the 412 items I will sell for £1000.00.

Please note that there maybe a few figures that are yellowed and have cracked
torso’s or arms.
I will have to charge £40 postage.

Just out of curiosity, how frequently do you, as owners of large stores (I'm
thinking 1,000+ orders) get messages from buyers informing you about missing
pieces or broken pieces in their order. I have had to send multiple of these
messages during my time on BL (I really hate doing it) and I wanted to know how
irritating it is on the receiving end.

A while back, I had a buyer reach out to me asserting that the

 
Part No: 61287pb007  Name: Cylinder Hemisphere 2 x 2 with Cutout with Blue Lines and Purple Dots Jelly Mask Pattern
* 
61287pb007 Cylinder Hemisphere 2 x 2 with Cutout with Blue Lines and Purple Dots Jelly Mask Pattern
Parts: Cylinder, Decorated
I sold them was fake due to no lego logo and that they've
often seen Ninjago theme as one of the most common themes where knock offs are
produced.

It's possible that it was fake, but there is usually more to it than just
a non logo. The difference in quality is usually glaring and would certainly
be noticeable on a trans-clear part that's also printed.

Since then, I've come across

 
Part No: 61287c01pb03  Name: Cylinder Hemisphere 2 x 2 with Reddish Brown Globe Pattern
* 
61287c01pb03 (Inv) Cylinder Hemisphere 2 x 2 with Reddish Brown Globe Pattern
Parts: Cylinder, Decorated
that I know are authentic that do not have a lego logo. I've
also reached out to a few huge sellers that specialize in minifigs and they've
told me as well that some of these hemisphere parts do not have the logo.

If any sellers are able to check any of their hemisphere parts that they know
are authentic, I'd appreciate the additional data.

Hello everyone,

I´m a long-time collector but quite new in the selling game, and I have a question
that I didn´t find a clear answer to yet.

I like to restore vintage sets, and for my personal collection I sometimes use
replica stickers - usually from 'brickstickershop' - to restore and brigthen
up the sets. They´re high-quality stickers matching original size and colours,
and often are available for sets where it´s hard or even impossible to get the
original sticker sheets anymore.

So every now and then the collection gets too big, and I´d like to sell some
of the sets again.

My questions about this are:

- Is it acceptable / legal to offer vintage sets which use replica stickers?
(Of course with the explicit note in the offer listing that replicas were used.)

- If yes, should it be listed as 'custom item' or would it be okay to
list in the original category? (again, with explicit note of replica stickers
being used.)

Notes: I'm not planning to sell replica sticker sheets, which I know are
third-party items and are not allowed here. I´m just speaking of a handful of
sets where replica stickers were already applied. (picture below shows my 363/555
hospital with replica stickers.)


Sorry for the wall of text, but I want to do everything correct. I´m very thankful
for any constructive answers.

NRB

I have an order from someone in the UK. I adjust the shipping costs and wanted
to send an invoice but I get a white screen with on top the line:

The page cannot be displayed because an internal server error has occurred.

I dont know what is wrong and I never had this before.
Any suggestions??

I have 11 of this NXT set and need to clear some space. Anyone interested in
making a deal? We can meet up in person to save on shipping if you are within
driving distance of Detroit, MI.

These sets would make a good start towards building a full size pinball machine,
as I did 13 years ago.

Cheers - mark

I have had my selling privileges revoked last year as an invoice wasn't paid.
I had closed the store and hadn't checked the emails meaning I missed the
notification. In jan this year I realised and promptly paid the bill I have
messaged admin 3 times to let them know and to ask for the privileges to be given
back as I want to sell up, but after multiple attempts I have had not a single
response. How can I get the store back open?
