I think the tab at the bottom is some kind of standard attachment because I have
seen pictures of boats with different motors attached to that tab but never found/seen
a matching LEGO motor.
(That was just in passing that I saw the pictures. I’m not an expert in motors
for model boats.)

Is there any experience in removing the floor sections from the hulls on 4010

Are they clicked into place and 'need pressure' or a tool using a certain
method for disassembly or could they possible be glued/heat formed into place
with no hope of removal. 4010 in particular has 2 holes in 2 adjacent studs for
some reason that might allow a long thin prong tool access to a internal clip
but am loathed to attempt until I know more. 4005 has no such design.
Any advice no matter how small appreciated.

in sets like : those are
formed in the factory as to be water and air tight as these boats are intended

Definitely view your inventory by Item Type and you'll be able to select
all of the minifigures by checking just one box.

This won't answer your original question (hpoort explained that well enough),
but to do what you put in your example, all you have to do is go to inventory,
then sort by item type, check the boxes for everything except minifigures, then
under the "Update Inventory", select the "update availability" and put them in
the stockroom.

It is a technical issue that you will find on almost every web interface.
[Ctrl] and [Shift] only work to extend a selection if the data is contained in
a single control, usually a list control. What you are looking at on Bricklink
is a web page, basically an entire text document, not a single list control.
The web report just contains a bunch of essentially non-related checkbox controls.
Your browser would not have a clue how to interpret your [Shift+Click] other
than to select the text from point A to point B, which may or may not include
the entire set of checkbox controls.
I don't know the seller interface, but on various other pages on Bricklink
at the very top of your list of checkboxes, there is an extra checkbox to click
for [Select all].

|
| | | that when issuing a refund, sellers have to calculate the total amount with tax,
issue the refund through BL and BL will automatically separate the tax part and
the seller will only be debited of the actual part amount?
I wish sellers would know the proper procedure for a refund, and that BL would
communicate it clearly (and as intrusively as they communicate how invoices should
be paid...). I think I'll start putting that info when I email sellers about
missing parts.
|
About 1/3 of the time the BL refund system throws up an error and won't process
the refund. At first I would simply re-submit and keep trying until the refund
finally went through. But, sometimes PP has pushed the refund, but BL doesn't
see that it has been accepted and continues to throw up errors all while refunding
the money over, and over, and over again. Now I try once and if I get an error
I go straight to PP and issue the refund through their system. I don't always
remember the tax issue, so hopefully this thread will help keep that top of mind
for me.

BL messages can be received by e-mail and thus read but not “read” as a BL message.
That being said, 3 weeks, no answers, and you already paid: file an NSS, https://www.bricklink.com/retractOrder.asp
That should at least wake up the seller.

Sellers occasionally close their shop to catch up on orders or for other reasons.
I wouldn't be too worried. Has the seller shipped the order yet? It's
been more than two weeks. If not, I would send them a message.

|
| Hello,
it looks like the Quote Request form for UK RFQs is not working correctly. I
have similar issue on 2 quotes already.
The first issue is I can add shipping costs only once and no further change or
add of additional costs is possible. All results in to following message: This
Quote can not be updated because all numbers had been updated already.
In addition, the Quote calculation is different in the line on the list of all
Quotes Received page and on the Quote details page. Here is an example:
Calculation in the line of the list of all Quotes Received page is correct and
shows:
Order Total: 1,384.88
Shipping: 433.12
Final Total: 1,818.00
Tax BL collected: 363.60
Grand Total: 2,181.60
In case I go to Quote detail page I can see following:
Item Total: 1,384.88
Shipping: 433.12
Est. United Kingdom VAT: 363.60
Grand Total: 2,545.20 (!!!!!)
As you can see the GRAND TOTAL is different. For Quote to Buyer is used the wrong
number from Quote detail page. It looks like the UK VAT is calculated twice there.
Any idea what to do with this?
Thanks in adavance for any help.

Yes, it should. It's not a hydralic piston (fluids can't be compressed),

But you should feel a decent resistance to compression and the piston should

Hello Joerg,
The problem with the "Easy Buy" function is that there are no filters/parameters.
All you can do is click "Easy Buy" and it selects stores for you, from anywhere
in the world and regardless of whether or not the store offers instant checkout.
This makes the feature quite useless in my opinion. However, the wanted list
buy page that SylvainLS mentioned is essentially the same thing if you use the
"Auto-Select" feature, but it allows you filter stores by location, whether or
not they accept instant checkout, etc. This is much more useful in my opinion.
As a side note, the instant checkout filter will filter out stores that do not
accept instant checkout, but that does not necessarily mean that you will actually
be able to check out with instant checkout. For example, I used to have a weight
limit of 16 ounces for instant checkout orders, so my store would show up in
the list if you applied the instant checkout filter, but if your order was over
16 ounces, shipping would show up as TBD and you would not be able to use instant
checkout. Other stores only offer instant checkout for orders under/over a certain
value or only to certain countries.

The filters are on the Buy page: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/wanted/buy.page
, the link is in the Want menu / heart-shaped icon on every page, or if you click
Buy when looking at a Wanted List (not EasyBuy on the list of Wanted Lists).
You’ll need to click the “Expand” link next to the phrase “Store Filters” to
see those filters.

Got one as well (yay?), also 0-FB user (order #16505080). I checked all the info
I could check on my side:
- As others already said, the name is simply not sent for that table row (so
no browser-side fix for some "tag-soup-like" error).
- The browser does report CORS errors for "manifest.json" due to a missing "access
allowed" header - although very sloppy, this is not causing the issue we see
here.
- I checked the info as reported by the API, there is nothing that is different
from properly-working order rows. Our internal software (which runs off of the
API) has no issues whatsoever.
- I can also confirm this issue does not seem to impact the order process (like
invoicing etc).
Niek.

| I do get the point. Like BrickWilbo siad:
Explain it's because the timezone you didn't respond earlier and saw
a negative feedback which isn't the way to a solution.
You would want to work on a solution by shipping the missing parts or send a
refund them.
So email first, try to work out a solution and if that doesn't work out,
file a NSS or review. How would you feel if you get a NSS or negative review,
before you even could respond or act on the matter?
Cheers and have a good one!

I asked him, for future references, write the store in case of a complaint and

email, he demands money back for the whole order. Then he files a NSS and a negative
review, my first 😇. He did all this in 2 hours, when I was asleep. Only in the
review he is mentioning, that he had received only 10% of the order.
Normally spoken, if there’s something wrong, I’ll resend or refund plus a bit
more, for the troubles of the customer, but now I think the customer is aiming
for free stuff. What would you guys do?

Good morning!
I'm sorry to hear that. It looks like this buyer has lodged a few (perhaps
unwarranted) complaints in the past. If you have proof of shipping, you should
be able to get the NSS removed, but I'm not sure about the negative feedback.
Maybe try reporting the member to the problem center:
https://www.bricklink.com/retractOrder.asp
Perhaps if enough people report the member, BrickLink will take action. Or maybe
not. I'm not sure how BrickLink handles these types of situations. Good luck!

| You can do this via the API. It's technical stuff, not easy to use if you're
not familiar with these kind of systems. But definitely possible.
Register for the API here:
https://www.bricklink.com/v2/api/register_consumer.page
The 'call_back' url that you can specify, is a web url that BrickLink
will request when an order, message or feedback is received. On this page
you have your script that processes the request and does something. Like sending
an e-mail or updating something in your own system etc etc.
Details:
https://www.bricklink.com/v3/api.page?page=resource-representations-push
This is called 'push', because you have to do nothing to get it. You
can also 'pull' aka request it by calling the '/notifications'
endpoint. For this to work, you still need a call_back url, but it can be a webhook.site
url or something, that you then ignore.
I think ErwinNL on the forum has made a tool that can do this too.
Hope this helps!

Not that I know of with BrickLink. Maybe there is some third party software that
does this. Or you could write a script.

| I parted out this set a few weeks ago. I selected the option 'exclude all

| The upper limit is based on a ton of variables.
Number of people logged in, number of database calls, network traffic, if the
moon is in the Seventh House and Jupiter aligns with Mars, etc....
The easiest thing to do is use Brickstore. You will have the entire inventory
you can work on and then just upload from there in chunks by highlighting the
rows.
If you use Bricklink, you will have to check half the boxes in the inventory,
upload and then repeat for the second half. Which is time consuming.

Click the little paper icon to the right of the order date. That will allow you
to send an invoice with the shipping cost included. I believe yours will not
have a check mark since you have not yet sent an invoice. Note that you may want
to credit them for the amount that they have already paid.

Sort of. You can import an official LEGO set into Studio, but it's not assembled.
On a Mac, the command to do so is File - Import - Import Official LEGO Set.
However, a great way to learn Studio would be to reconstruct existing LEGO sets.
By the way, there is a dedicated forum for Studio-related questions. It can be
accessed by hovering over the red Studio icon on the top of every page and clicking
on "Studio forum" or by going directly to https://forum.bricklink.com/ You will
probably have better luck getting your Studio questions answered there than here!

To succintly answer your question, yes all the official LEGO sets can be imported
in Studio, just not the way you expect them. Instead of a built model, you get
all the parts for it nicely arranged on a plane like you would do on a table
before starting to build the real set if you are into knolling.
Of course, with all the parts present, you can then proceed to build the set
in Studio after the digital instructions you can get from the LEGO.com website.

Was it an instant checkout/instant invoice order? Or perhaps the buyer marked
the order as paid? Anyway, at the bottom of the order details page, there is
a button that says "edit order". Click on that and then next to "payment status"
select "none" from the drop-down menu. You should then be able to add a shipping
charge and send an updated invoice.

I don't know about Europe, but in the U.S., sales tax is based on the location

| Thank you for the link.
So I might not find out what happens to that buyer unless I keep checking to
see if he is there still? That's kind of annoying...

Just to reinforce what Tim has said, Stefan.
Enable an onsite payment method, either Stripe or PayPal. It’s needed to facilitate
the required online sales tax collection here in the states. The third party
BL has contracted with, has agreements with the aforementioned online payment
processors,
|
Actually, it’s BL, the seller, and PayPal (or Stripe) who have a tripartite agreement
that allows BL to look into and intercept the payment request, the payment realisation,
and a potential refund.
For PayPal, this agreement is called “PayPal for marketplaces.” For Stripe,
I guess it’s the “standard” agreement.

Thanks, Sylvain...
BL has not partnered with the third-party for collection and remittance, but
for the calculation and application (bullet point #7): https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=2501

Let’s hope. They’ll certainly need it for EU very soon.

| | Hi there,
I'm a seller from germany.
Since last year i get some feedback from US-buyers, they can't order in my
store. They get a popup window in ordering process "seller does not ship to US
state ..." (here Maine, California).
In my settings i only see "sending to 100% of all countries worldwide". Where
is a setting for single US states? Interesting also that states like Florida,
Colombia are still working. Is there any tax setting missing?
Hope somebody can help me.
Attached a screenshot from a buyer.
Regards
Stefan

| An onsite payment option is required for USA state sales tax. Consider setting
up PayPal onsite.
