Hi Nita!

Just asking to better understand, why do you have a policy against freight forwarders?
What are the repercussions of selling to these users if they pay the price of
the item you have listed?

Reason I ask is I recently received two different orders where the buyer asked
no packing slip be packaged with the order in the invoice comments. I just assume
they could be freight forwarders due to making that request. But the sale went
through and I personally haven't had any issues with these orders/buyers.

Thank you in advance and hope you can get your negative feedback resolved!

Hi everyone!

I got the idea from built_bricks on instagram to improve and upgrade the Bad
Batch minifigs to look even more awesome. I gave them all backpack like in the
show. I tweaked the idea a bit, let me know what you think! I kept Tech the same
for right now, I'm glad Lego added a printed brick with him.

⭐️Credit to built_bricks on Instagram for the improvement idea! Check him out
on IG!

⭐️I was able to order all the needed parts from Brick_Sifter! Check out his BL
store! https://store.bricklink.com/Brick_Sifter?p=Brick_Sifter#/shop

Thank you for your time and take care!

Hi Adam!

It is all personal preference and how you want to run your store. I have seen
a few cents to several dollars for lots over 50+, 100+, etc.

I personally don't charge any lot fee as I feel it deters some buyers who
would rather buy from sellers with limited to no additional fees. I feel this
is especially important to consider for a brand new store.

I think if you organize your inventory well, orders shouldn't take too long
to process and package. I would recommend looking at multiple factors of your
store to consider if you should or should not include a lot fee including how
many lots you have, your organization, the value of your time to package, how
much time you have free to package orders, etc.

I hope this helped and best of luck to you!!

Hi everyone!

I am curious how many other sellers have social media accounts for their stores?
I am still trying to get the hand of things with my store's IG account as
I don't normally post much on my personal social media accounts.

If you have a social media account, post the link in a reply! I'd love to
see how others advertise and use social media platforms to connect with your
customers and enhance your store! I'll post mine below, let me know what
you think!

Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/alamocityminifigs/

Take care!

  Dear BrickLink members,

Because of the severe nature of the spam in our Forum today, we will need to
take steps to prevent excessive posting from new members. In the past we have
not placed limits because we wanted to keep the door open to new members who
may have issues that are not resolved with one or two posts.

Obviously, it's going to take some time to cancel all the spam from today.
Please bear with us, and contact me personally if you have any idea who you think
is behind this attack.

Thank you.

I agree that limits may need to be implemented for new members to avoid this
nonsense. Wish you the best of luck and hopefully this can be contained soon.
Appreciate the work you do!

  Hello,
when we try to set "minimum buy" in my shop, there appears Red info : "You can't
set store minimum buy greater than shipping method minimum buy value". And we
can't find where to manage this " shipping method minimum buy value" I would
be very happy to solve this setting problem. Its not transparent to me...
Thank you Very much
Irena

Hi StarBricks7,

In your individual shipping methods under the shipping tab, scroll down to "Restrictions
and Adjustments" and you can adjust the "Order restriction Min buy" to match.

I hope this helps!

racerxmtb,

Yes, very frustrating. I wonder if this is caused by economic issues stemming
from COVID but it's been over a year now and the increase just occurred?
Really makes me wonder the true cause of why...

Hi everyone!

This is my first ever MOC that I wanted to showcase!

I have always loved the mini Slave I build from the Betrayal at Cloud City #75222
set. I am also big fan of Jango Fett and the Star Wars Episode II Slave I.

I thought I'd breakout into the MOC realm starting easy with just changing
the color scheme and a few part changes, but still following the main build created
by Lego. I mostly followed the 75222 instructions for the MOC.

Let me know what you think and if you have any recommendations! I know the colors
may not be 100% movie accurate and I plan to add on/change out parts to make
it as movie accurate as possible.

*I did get inspiration from DarthBH's build. https://www.bricklink.com/v3/studio/design.page?idModel=90995

Thank you for your time and take care!

I agree and would further say, create a downloadable mobile app for BL! I check
my store and messages often when I am out, on my phone using the phone internet
browser. It is not very user friendly on a small phone screen. A mobile application
would be so much more convenient and easier to navigate, for sellers and buyers!
