|
| Hi,
Is it possible as a buyer to add personal comment to a lot or part in the cart?
By personal I mean that it will only be visible to me and not the seller.
Currently it is possible to add comments only to the whole order after it has
been made but
I need something in higher resolution.
For me it can be helpful to write down the purpose of the item I'm purchasing,
for later usage when the order arrives.
How do I suggest something like this to Bricklink?
Thanks,
Nadav

| I just wanted to ask if anyone knows if the 71710 is the box or instruction.
I am very confused!

Odd question but is there a way to just buy the pieces of the set? Like I wanted
to check if this was a feature. Select an option where you can get the pieces
you're looking for if you have instructions or a button to select. In case
the set is hard to find or very rare. And if you don't care about the box,
minifigs or instructions?
Thanks!

alternatively, you can look for a used set and just sell the instructions, buy
a new set and ask the seller to de box it for you. Buying it individually will
almost always be more expensive than in a set

You should be aware that if a set is rare (demand higher than supply) then some
of the parts are also likely to be rare. And will probably end up costing more
than the set.

You can add a sets inventory to a 'Wanted List' (see pic).
You can then use the Wanted List to search for stores that have all the parts.

There are many excellent sellers with stores that offer conditional “free shipping”
and if you come upon a store that doesn’t, simply ask ahead of ordering.
You may be surprised how well the request is received, if when asking, you spell-out
what type of order you’re considering. Not just dollar amount, but number of
lots and the type of items too. In supplying these particulars, you’ll find more
sellers willing to entertain and reply. Basically, it's letting the seller
know that you’re serious and what costs they can expect to factor and absorb.

Normally, I offer free shipping on domestic orders over $200, though I'm
considering lowering the threshold for 2022.
But since it's Christmastime, I'll temporarily offer free shipping on
domestic orders over $25 for anyone who sees this post. Just mention this offer
in a message with your order over $25 before tax between now and the end of Christmas
Day (midnight on 12/25). You'll receive a refund for the full shipping costs
when your order ships.

Oh, and Merry Christmas to all!

A common problem with Russian banks 
|
The problem is not solely with the banks, but with PayPal. Rather than packing
up and leaving the marketplace (as they spoke of early on) they ultimately decided
to stay, accepting the new restrictions: https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1305735
The root cause for the new restrictions is the Russian Government's concern
over the domestic money-flows. They want insight if not more control over money
movements within the country itself. Apparently instruments like PayPal were
heavily relied on for such, at least as claimed in their statements. Not that
knowing the "root cause" will help you or anyone else just trying to transact
with/from Russia using PayPal of late
| | Ask your seller to manually create a PayPal invoice from their PayPal account.
There are two ways to create a payment request by the seller.
1) 'Request Money' - this will NOT work
2) ';Create an invoice' - this should work

Yes, you can add any part to your wanted list in a specific color, condition,
quantity, and maximum price. Then make sure that "notify" is checked next to
it. What you will get is an email notification anytime a seller uses the "notfy
feature" in their store that matches ALL the criteria on that part. If any condition
is not met, you will not get an email. So if your quantity shows 10 and they
only have 8 you will not get an email.
As for receiving only notifications from a specific country, I am not sure that
there is a way to do that.

| Hi Bricklinkers,
I already have copy of 4 existing certificates but the goal is to find all 7
(known to be in existence) ones.
I want to check the market, so see my wanted list, please:
1 x certificate with lime lom "Altair" (lom003) --- search "lomcert5" on
www.bricklink.com
https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?G=LoMcert5#T=S&O={%22rpp%22:%22200%22,%22iconly%22:0}
1 x certificate with sand purple lom "Mizar" (lom009)
1 x certificate with black lom "Rigel" (lom011)
Please get in contact with me. We can figure out a good deal for both of us.
I would be happy if I find another certificate . It is some time ago I found
one.
It would be a cool Christmas present for myself .
Hoping to hear you, very thanks and greetings

If you don’t have filters in the way, I think this happens when you’ve browsed
stores “too much.”
|
May I kindly ask what does "browsing too much" mean? I am searching for the items
from my wanted lists. Do I need to wait to do that?
|
I don’t know what is “too much,” that’s why I used quotes
There’s a “daily” counter but I don’t know on which “day” it runs. It may be
reinitialized during the daily maintenance (in less than an hour) or at 0:00
(just a few minutes ago).

Apparently this has been an issue for a long time, but has not been fixed yet.
The biggest worry is why it has to take so long to fix something as important
as a check out process.
I have broken off several carts when seeing the cost, I didn't click to the
2nd page, I had no reason to. So stores missed out on sales because the price
shown is incorrect. I know now to click to the next screen.

The total will also include other fees that the seller might have as well as

But that's idiotic! If I know the amount of the additional costs, I also

PO box address. Can't remember what I did when we got the PO box to change
the address, but we didn't change the main one.

Ok. Your PO address is in the same country right?
So this is the message when trying to change the shipping address
"You can only have addresses assigned to one country at a time. To change your
shipping country, update your main BrickLink address in Account Information."
So what I stated in my OP is correct.

Here an idea. I am guessing you use pay pal to pay??? Now for the seller and
buyer protections to be LIVE you need to send to the shipping address listed
on the pay pal account. If it sent to the shipping address listed on that paypal
account the buyer protection there to cover it. NOW the fact bricklink will
not let you change shipping address to match pay pal is insane as it leave Sellers
open to claims if they follow the bricklink shipping address and strips the seller
protection of them through pay pal. Any smart seller should be following the
shipping address on the pay pal account.. Just food for thought

| Haha. Vinegar smell does disappear on its own pretty quickly. I’ve only ever
ended up with one cigarette smoke batch. I couldn’t even stand the smell so
I threw it all out except the figures. Soaked those overnight (outside) in 50/50
vinegar and the smell was gone totally in the morning. I’ve used vinegar on
a couple of other “old person house” batches too and it works great.

Yes it is interpretation. There is nothing to say only sold by LEGO after the
such as, and such as implies it is not an exhaustive list. Whereas they do specifically
mention assembled by LEGO when taking apart assembled minifigs and selling the
parts. Buying parts as new from another seller and not using them means they
are not used. Plus PAB parts have no provenance either, someone could have put
them together in the bins. BAM parts are even worse, kids frequently build them
and dump them.
I frequently buy new minifigs in BL for a specific part, then sell off the bits

At what point do they again smell like Lego?
If they smell like vinegar and you put oil on them, do they smell like salad.
If someone at Lego production passes by the bagging machine and passes wind and
they arrive with a smell, is that still new and what Lego smells like out of
the factory. The Danes do have some weird tasting and smelling food` when dining.
I wouldn't even bring up the fact that Lego was produced in Juarez just
across the border from El Paso.

Sure you can, so long as you believe the seller is trustworthy. If a seller sells
new parts and you don't build with them, they are still in the same unused

In fact, you can set it up so that if an account signed up with an irish address,
uses a dutch shipping address, the order cannot be placed. And you can let stores
choose to enable or disable address match.

| Ive worked for paypal for a couple of years, I know how it works.
"I think a seller should have the right to choose especially where there are
different
costs to them."
They can, you can restrict shipping to countries in your settings.
"Are you denying paypal charges a cross border fees when someone
with an account in another region pays you? "
Eh? I didnt say that, paypal does charge cross border fees. And you misunderstand
how paypal works, it doesnt charge on delivery address, it charges on the registered
location of the paypal account.
"if a German buyer (with a German registered PayPal account) buys in GBP from
a UK seller but puts a UK address, this is not classed as a domestic transaction
by PayPal, it is international."
No, that is not how it works. It would still be a local transaction. paypal doesnt
care about the shipping address, it only cares about the funding source.
"No it doesn't, if customers are allowed to change their BL address to
a
Dutch one, then change back. They still have to sell to anyone so long as they
put a NL shipping address."
Correct, so they can only sell to dutch customers. They can restrict paypal
payments from other paypal accounts in their paypal settings.
"No, they can't. They can restrict the country on BL, but if buyers can
change
their address to the seller's country to place an order, then they cannot
stop that buyer from buying and using a foreign PayPal account to pay, hence
increasing the PayPal fees charged."
OK, they can still block those payments on their paypal account, or force a quote
before shipping.
It can all be resolved, but people rather think in problems then solutions.

What is not true? Are you denying paypal charges a cross border fees when someone
with an account in another region pays you? For example, if a German buyer (with
a German registered PayPal account) buys in GBP from a UK seller but puts a UK
address, this is not classed as a domestic transaction by PayPal, it is international.
But BL treats it as domestic, as the buyer claimed to be in the same country
for ten minutes before changing their address back. The seller pays more than
they would if it was domestic, down to the CROSS BORDER FEE. Even if paid in
the right currency, the cross border fee is still charged. Maybe you don't
have it for EU-EU transactions. It can be as high as an extra 2%.
| | If you mean a dutch store doesnt want to get payments from a cross border paypal,
than that means he can only sell to dutch customers anyway.
|
No it doesn't, if customers are allowed to change their BL address to a
Dutch one, then change back. They still have to sell to anyone so long as they
put a NL shipping address.
| | if a store doesnt want to deal with cross border paypal payments, they can choose
to restrict this on their account and set up IBAN payments. And IBAN payments
are more expensive than paypal anyway if it is from EU to Non-EU.
|
No, they can't. They can restrict the country on BL, but if buyers can change
their address to the seller's country to place an order, then they cannot
stop that buyer from buying and using a foreign PayPal account to pay, hence
increasing the PayPal fees charged.

if a store doesnt want to deal with cross border paypal payments, they can choose
to restrict this on their account and set up IBAN payments. And IBAN payments
are more expensive than paypal anyway if it is from EU to Non-EU.
Look, whatever, its all way too complicated as it is now, just allow for more
shipping address on an account, just like ebay and amazon, and problem is sorted.

Sellers used to be able to see this information and they changed it, for whatever
reason. Unless there is a good reason to change it back, I doubt they will. If
anything they could probably remove the ability for buyers to see it, that gives
equality and doesn't really affect anyone's ability to buy on BL.
| |
As for asking persons to open an account for me, I am not going to ask my 80
year old parents to open an account on BL, as for other addresses, those are
forwarding services like Addresspal and Mailbox.de. I am also not going to ask
a friend to open an account so he can buy his own birthday present.
|
So ask your parents for permission first and open it in one of their names.
There is an issue with buyers that keep changing countries in that their paypal
accounts remain based in their country. That means extra cross border fees for
the seller on what appears otherwise a domestic transaction. I wouldn't mind
if BL went the other way, and cracked down on this changing country behaviour.
If a seller chooses to be domestic only, then they should be able to deny international
transactions where the buyer sends a domestic forwarding address. Of course,
some sellers don't mind it, but others will.

No, just allow for a buyer or store to have shipping addresses. It is a basic
thing. Never come across this address lock-in anywhere ever. Marketplaces like
ebay and Amazon are all set up to have several shipping addresses.

Well then, I'm not sure. But when I check my account setting, it shows my

PO box address. Can't remember what I did when we got the PO box to change
the address, but we didn't change the main one.

Ok. Your PO address is in the same country right?
So this is the message when trying to change the shipping address
"You can only have addresses assigned to one country at a time. To change your
shipping country, update your main BrickLink address in Account Information."
So what I stated in my OP is correct.

You should be able to change your address on checkout. We use PO box for our
store address, but when I just recently purchased on Bricklink a few days ago,
it had our normal house address all ready to go. So both address are in the BL
system.
Whether or not you're allowed to have another address out of country, I'm
not sure.

That's why you always need to read store terms before buying. I, too, wrote
in my store terms that I'm a smoke free house. I really think that, even
if the parts are new, the parts with cigarette smell should be cheaper than non-smoke
parts. You are right, the smell of cigarettes is really awful. Try to wash your
new parts in the washing machine. Hope it'll helps.

Sure you can, so long as you believe the seller is trustworthy. If a seller sells
new parts and you don't build with them, they are still in the same unused
condition.
Store buyouts would never happen if new parts became instantly used when changing
hands.

Presumably they have only a single address field in the database. Maybe get the

One thing I've encountered at times is updating a wanted list in the few
minutes immediately prior to the daily maintenance. After the maintenance finishes
my changes have disappeared.
It's intermittent and probably due to server load in those few minutes -
the update request probably gets obliterated in the maintenance. Or there's
something that gets restored from a backup.
If I was adding parts when this occurs, they disappear after the maintenance.

I think that's the only reasonable explanation, especially as the OP seems
to remove items rather than updating have quantities - the selection checkboxes
don't clear when you make a change, which means they could easily be deleting
a number of items without noticing there are one or two more already selected.
I've had a number of decent sized wanted lists there for some time without
anything disappearing unexpectedly. I recently tidied up my lists so don't
know how many lots the oldest ones had, but I have a 599 lot list which has been
there for well over 3 years and still has the correct number of lots and total
items.

I can't say that I've ever had this happen. I don't have large wanted
lists at all. My largest would be around 50 lots, but I do have one that I've
had for well over 6 months that has two lots in it that hasn't been affected.
