I have heard this issue before but that would not explain poly bags like this:
 
Set No: 5002948  Name: C-3PO polybag
* 
5002948-1 (Inv) C-3PO polybag
1 Minifigure, 2015
Sets: Star Wars: Star Wars Episode 7
This poly bag was officially sold by TLG and was just one minifig. This would
violate that Hasbro issue if true? Idk

I would love a SW CMF series and I hope the MCU CMF does well in sales so it
will give TLG motivate to make a new series for SW. Especially since all these
new Disney+ SW shows are coming out in 2022! It would be a perfect run off of
the MCU Disney+ shows CMF!

Hi CSC!

Like tEoS said, I would try the refund method first (https://www.paypal.com/us/smarthelp/article/how-do-i-request-a-refund-faq406).

If no action is taken there, you can open a dispute with the seller (https://www.paypal.com/us/smarthelp/article/faq1344).

Hope this helped and best of luck to you!

Could you help me ID these heads? I bought a large used lot and these heads are
stumping me...

#2 is dual sided, the other head has a scared look, the lip is a squiggly line.

Thank you for you help!

KDSBRICKTOPIA,

Yes, you can advertise a sale or a listed lot in the forum, though the "Sales"
section may be a more appropriate place to post.

The issue with your post is this lot is not listed in your store and it appears
you may be offering this lot "off the record". To sell something on this website,
it must be listed in your store and officially hosted by BL. That is so if you
make the sale, BL can collect state sales tax and their commission fee, which
is clearly stated in the terms of the website.

I hope this helped and good luck with your lot!

This was kinda of my question about forwarding, you just worded it better lol

I suspect I have had 3 different buyers like this and I haven't had any PP/BL
issues with them. The only thing I have noticed with these sellers is they don't
leave any feedback for any of the orders they make, but that is their personal
choice.

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!!
