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

If you're referring to the store's listing?

https://store.bricklink.com/CanadaFirst?p=CanadaFirst#/shop?o={%22q%22:%2271710%22,%22sort%22:7,%22desc%22:1,%22pgSize%22:100,%22showHomeItems%22:0}

... then it's the instructions. Yes, it can be confusing for the uninitiated.

btw, you can always put questions to them directly

  Hello.

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!

Hi,
Use a Wanted List: https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=1

And then use the Buy Page to find store(s) with your parts: https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=2445

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
