| | Ive noticed once that refunds through stripe, use the same dates as payout to
seller (stripe holds the funds for some amount of time and pays out on set dates,
if so orders will be accumulated)
Payouts in refunds follow the same time frame but the other way around (stripe
to buyer)
Stripe wont go into negative on the sellers account.
So the seller needs to have the 1.8K gbp or more in his stripe balance , to make
this refund go through from stripe to in this case you.
I feel like the seller is not aware of this.
I think his balance in stripe is not high enough to set the refund through.
If his funds got paid out to his bank account before the refund was set; this
could be a likely scenario.
Please ask to seller to check in his stripe account, check if the balance is
enough.
And wich date the next payout would be.
He should see somewhere that there is a pending refund also.
Note; for high value orders like these the paypal fee's are a pain but it
does come with extra buyer protection.
Also refunds with paypal are much faster paid out

This is what he's sent me as proof of refund... not sure if it's fake
or real

This is my latest Stripe refund (from 2021), checked all the details and seem
to match your screenshot, except the conversion fee. Maybe as being a large amount
Stripe needs to verify something, but 3 weeks its quite some time, try to contact
them and see.

If they are small and fit in a drawer then go there as one lot more in the store,

You are right.
The problem is not the result, but the research.
3068bp* finds SOME result of the 3068p* but not ALL THE results.
Instead, it should return nothing.
The search is broken, not the inventory

The old item numbers 3068bpXXXX were put as Alternate IDs in the corresponding
parts to help locate them for users who don't know about the changes.

Because when searching 3068bp*, as it should, many do not appear.

3068apb are old, old ones without groove.
3068p are printed ones that were described by LDraw before Bricklink was created.
Dan used their designations to harmonize and gave them credit.
3068px are printed ones that were described by Peeron before Bricklink was created.
Dan used their designations to harmonize and gave them credit.
3068pb are printed ones that were described on Bricklink after creation.

| | Hello,
The Bricklink administration removed one of my selling listings. The reason was
that the parts were listed in a non existent color.
The part was actually a genuine lego part, listed in the correct color. Only
was it never released in an official set, so it does not show up in the color
guide in any set. Is it no longer allowed to list such parts? As far as i know
this type of parts could be obtained in a legal way from a pick a brick wall.

Where they in a transparent color? If so it might be related to this post:

My second BL glitch in 48 hours. The other one was an order item that my records

I know it's an error listing because the Retain Lots was NOT enabled and
pretty much 100 percent of my inventory items have Retain Lots turned ON.

I see in your inventory you have many items with bulk x4 and x20, could it be
that when listing this item you wanted to put x20 and typed 10 instead?
You can download Brickstore and sort your inventory by the retain column to see
if all items are changed, do you use any other software?

This is already possible; the seller needs to have the appropriate macro tags on
their invoice templates.

Thank you! I looked back at several pages of messages and found that only 1 of
10 stores actually include the (tax) line on the invoice which begs me to ask...
How come the tax line is not automatically included?
Cass T

As the invoice are custom templates they need to be updated or reset manually,
they have specifications from each seller so if the admins reset them all that
would be lost and become a mess for all.
They could inject the code instead but I don't think the bricklink system
is so capable...

It is very annoying to see:
Total: US $43.77
Shipping: US $10.80
Insurance: US $0.00
Additional Charges: US $1.00
Credit: US $0.00
Grand Total: US $57.94
$43.77
$10.80
$ 1.00
-------
$55.57
There is clearly a discrepancy between the Grand Total and what is actually showing
for charges. Since taxes are not included in those charges, the discrepancy must
be the taxes.
1) This discrepancy will likely confuse many buyers.
2) Anyone who prints the invoice for business reasons will not have a paper record
of the taxes paid.
3) In case of an audit, having a record of taxes paid on paper is beneficial.

| | From what I can tell this is a bug. I've seen more times than I am happy
about and am having a hard time getting it resolved.
For me it has happened when a buyer is local and selects local pick-up. I invoice
them, they pay, they pick up, but the system never registers the payment, their
order then sits permanently at packed with payment as none. Then the next order
they place gets added onto their last 'open order' as a new batch. I
send them an invoice and there is no pay button. My inventory/order system then
tries to subtract their previous order + their new order from my inventory screwing
up my numbers. It's become a whole annoying thing. I currently have 22 orders
sitting as filed that are payment-none and status-packed.
|
Seems to strange, I have customers that choose Local Pickup, we invoice them
with 0€ shipping cost and they pay normally. Then come to get the order when
we send them a message that it is packed.
Also if your orders are packed Bricklink doesn't add new batches to it. Neither
if it is paid.
Try using the setting to separate Payment Status from Order Status:
https://www.bricklink.com/orderSettings.asp
| |
I've been patiently waiting for the help desk to look into the ticket that
I filed, but have it on my to-do list to send them a second request for help
at the end of the month. It isn't currently happening, but my local buyers
have been busy recently and haven't been placing as many orders.
The only solution we have been able to work out is for me to email my buyer my
direct paypal link and take payment that way, then we can at least move forward
with getting their parts to them.
|
This is TAX fraud, try to get a friend customer with you that can help solve
the way you process a local pickup order trying things, there is a correct way
that works.

We definitely could have talked about it on the catalog panel if the catalog

The catalog panel was informed of this merge project months before it was announced
publicly. But the purpose of the panel is to bring community voice to the development
team, not contribute to catalog policy.

Unless there was a meeting I missed somehow, I do not recollect that we were
informed of this project or asked to give any input or suggestions. There was
a brief mention that there was a variant project but no details or timetables
were ever given. Considering that many people on the Panel were among those who
expressed surprise and dismay when this was all introduced, I would think that
those meetings would indeed have been an ideal place to breach the subject with
the members at large.

the catalog, but nothing specific, I must have missed it too.

| | We do address catalog policy when it comes up, but it's definitely a sideline
issue, as are all issues that relate to other BrickLink teams, like Marketplace
and Studio. Panel meetings are not the place to debate proposed variant merges.
The Forum is, and there was plenty of debate and even opportunity for more debate.

Perhaps it was not the place to discuss the exact specifics of each part being
looked at. But it would have been good to know how the project would be introduced
and carried out. We are supposed to be looking out for the community and sharing
out expertise after all.
