Go to Market Stores and choose "New Zealand" under Asia/Oceania:
https://www.bricklink.com/browseStores.asp?countryID=NZ&groupState=Y

When you're looking at parts you can also filter by country - just click
on "More Options"

Yeah, that’s strange. We had another case in another thread: a very new seller
(even newer than your example) with no terms.

They could have deleted their terms after being approved… but I fail to see the
advantage

Some rule they wrote to appear “good” but don’t want to follow anymore?

Anyway, for me, no rules = goodbye (mind how it’s spelled

I think there are a lot of stores w/o terms. I would just write to the seller

Hi,
I run camps using the original Lego Wedo. Some of our motors are beyond fixing
so I would like to find some to replace.As we begin to run concurrent camps,
we will also be buying Lego Wedo 2.0 sets.(probably 10 additional)
Here is my question:If I wanted to turn my original WeDo sets into Lego WeDo
2.0 (we have 10 full sets of the originals), what parts should I eliminate and
what parts should I buy to make them compare to the new Lego WeDo 2.0 sets that
we'll need to buy? That would include instructions too, I imagine.
Otherwise, where can I find original motors?

I'm not familiar with WeDo but here's a good starting point if looking
to replace the original motors from the first series. This search brings up all
of the WeDo components (including series 2), so you can pick and choose to look
up the components you're requiring https://www.bricklink.com/v2/search.page?q=wedo#T=S

As for knowing which parts to eliminate/replace to upgrade to WeDo 2.0, if you
don't happen to get an answer here, I'd reach out to LEGO Education https://education.lego.com/en-us/
They should be able to guide you in what the new updated parts are, and they
may also sell them directly on the main LEGO site.

Thanks for your suggestion! I have now written to them as well.

PayPal holds you responsible for the packages until they are delivered. If you
are sure the packages were stolen, you should refund the orders. No need to force
your buyers to file PayPal claims, potentially aggravating them and thus increasing
the likelihood of bad feedback.

If I were your buyer and you proactively let me know that my order was stolen
and also refunded me I would leave excellent feedback because there was a problem
and you took care of it.

I never leave anything in my mailbox. I hand my packages in at the counter. On
the rare occasions where that is not possible I scan them in at the self-service
kiosk and put them in one of the big blue bins. My post office allows packages
to be left on the counter by the clerks but I never do that. If there's a
long line and the blue bins are full I come back later or the next day.

I have discovered that 7 outgoing orders have possibly been stolen from my residential

One customer in-particular is being very belligerent about not receiving his
order (over 400 pieces!).

I will have taken a big hit to my bottom line by the theft of those 7 orders,
and through no fault of my own, should I have to be the brunt of negative feedback?
He's already filing for a refund through PayPal, which is his right. What
are my options in this case?

I'm certainly not doing anymore business through my residential mailbox!!
I'll drive out of my way to go to the PO from now on!

How long have your orders gone unscanned? I recently had batches of orders not
scanned in for 8-10 days before they started on their way. One order took 13
days to travel two states away. However, all of these orders did eventually get
delivered.

I no longer leave my packages for my mail carrier or even drop them in the box
at the station. We wait in line every time to get them scanned. Times have certainly
changed.

Sorry about your bad luck!!

Just out of interest, is it normal(or common) for sellers and buyers to communicate
via telephone?

It is required by most shipping companies, usually they text you the tracking
and delivery date, sometimes the delivery person needs to contact the recipient
if there is no one at home or there is a problem with the addresss.

So that means if I would part out only bag #1 of a set I need to set deletion
for all other parts manually on the part out page before verifying and uploading?

It is better to do it the other way, exclude all parts when parting out and manually
include the parts as you check them. It is normally less work, and you are less
likely to make a mistake. And if you do make a mistake, you typically don't
add inventory you do have, rather than adding inventory that you don't.
