Might even be real China-made parts. The plastic from that factory does have
similar differences from the other factories worldwide.
So, is it real, really counterfeit or just a misenterpretation of the fact Lego
had quality issues in China ....?

You mean before we had a RED line telling what item was wrong so you can easily
correct it?
Now we don't....
I like the suggestion

In your own store inventory, you can search for parts of a specific set. See
attached picture.
In the buying area of a store, this is not possible.
The functionality is there, please add it to the buying area.

Spot on.

On uploading used parts, I always check for my self: "Would I be happy to receive
this?" Whenever the anser is NO, the part goes into the bin, unless it's
a rare piece. In that case, I try to describe as detailed as possible the condition
of the part.

Maintaining high standards for oneself prevents in most cases selling crappy
parts.

  A: Because I always obey all the laws *to the letter*, of course

Also because I can not stand people who are immune to reasoning.

Ouch, if that is serious, you're in a living hell ...

Might this be an option:

- calculate 10% fee
- receive payment
- refund any overcalculated fee after payment was received

Or will this alse affect the percentage and therefor costs made?

Man, thinking about this might even get me PP-fee-less in the near future. But
at higher item prices? Is that what most PP-fee-less sellers do? Help me out
with some GOOD advice people....

  Personal rates are only for 'personal transfers', transfer for goods
are 'commercial', regardless wether you have a personal, premier or business
account

Mmmm, that makes it even harder.
Just checked my last 8 payments on PP (USD and EUR, 5 different countries). Overall
fee is 5.6%. Ranging from a 3.6% to 8.1%.
How can you get a cost table implemented like that that can be explained and
maintained as well?

Ah, these are the commercial rates.
I was looking at the personal rates.
As I am a hobbiest seller and not registered as a commercial user of PP, I think
the personal rates apply. Correct? Or does PP not distinguish between them?

VS, Canada, Europa I**
0,5% = balance payment
3,9% + vaste kosten = credit cards

That's for Belgium sellers receiving payments from for instance Holland.
Correct?
Or am I looking at the wrong tables?

According to my table that's for credit card payments through PP, not balance.
Or am I wrong here?

Mmm, checking


  If I buy from you and apply what PP tells me

PayPal charges sellers a fee of between 1,7% and 3,4% of the total sale plus
€0,35 EUR per transaction within the Euro zone.


Then you're still cooked

Made me adjust my PP costs anyway. I was way over the current table of costs
at the PP site. Thanks for pointing me to that!

These rules you refer to, apply to commercial business only as far as I can follow
it through. So this might only be applied to those.

As all sellers and buyers alike we are expected to operate within the law.
So either we should implement ALL laws from ALL countries BL has members from,
or there's a general rule that we all stick to the local laws from the country
the seller is based in. No need to add some specific rules and leave others out.
It's either ALL or NOTHING....

  How would they do that??

Easy, follow up fast on this kind of notification. BUT: report them through HelpDesk
and NOT only in the forum. The forum gets far less attention by CS than the HelpDesk
calls!

  All you have to do to avoid that is simply to delete the text you didn't
write!
This feature would be completely pointless when designers could be
working on more important things!

Like cosmetic overhauling the front page ?

I do delete the non-relevant parts (see this reply for instance) in my replies.
Most users don't, that can be annoying to quickly read through a thread with
20+ replies.
I guess your activity on the forum is not that big, so your not annoyed by it

How do you change the setting to "off" anyways?

You can't as a user. It is coded in the system....

  And lastly... use a screen of proper size and resolution, so you dont need to
abuse your mouse/PGDWN keys

Try to find a monitor that big......!

That option is better indeed, but needs more programming
