That isn't a big problem since I work from home but to get packages shipped
off, I have been relying on pickup requests through PirateShip.

I had several packages picked up a few days ago but one of them still says that
USPS is awaiting the item. I'm not sure if I should have asked the buyer
if they wanted a refund, but I really don't want to keep someone waiting
for a package that'll never arrive. I guess I take the loss out of a desire
to keep people happy.

Really disappoints me since it was a $30 parts order after shipping.

A few days isn't nearly enough to start really worrying. Start worrying if
it's like 2 weeks or more.

Maybe it was just not scanned correctly.  It will be scanned later… maybe only
at delivery.  According to many threads here, it happens a lot.

" or additional promoting for profit "
... for profit....

so, you are saying it is 'Additional Promotion' to repost it, but it's
only a "problem" to do that if it's for Profit...

ok gotcha..
so, it's worse than i thought, they aren't even getting anything out
of the deal, just 100% free promotion for that website.

duh.....

also, i used the terminology "Likely" not "assume"

i never assumed anything

-- facts .....

Congratulations, you read the forum and had the information provided to you already
so you knew exactly what to do with it. Guess what, I did the same thing when
I got it. But you know what else, it came to my email account which is where
I saw it first and for those that don't look at or view their incite BL messages,
that's quite possible where these members are seeing it first as well.

It's not the fact that they posted it, or the call out that it was the full
message and "promoting" it. If people want to sign up for a new selling site,
they are allowed to. The problem here is the manner and attitude used with the
assumptions made that it is malicious or additional promoting for profit. I
think you need to have a more open mindset in understanding all perspectives
to grasp what is being communicated. Additionally, the original poster has realized
that this thread has already been started many times over and has since removed
the post, so again this is all mute.

I will be running a big sale and try to clear all my parts and instructions (some
minifigures are on sale too) and focus on used and sealed sets. Feel free to
ask a quote.

no it's not amazing & it's not an assumption... it's a simple marketing
ploy...

you all are promoting the website, word for word, for free for them... all they
had to do was private message a few 'white knights' & wha-bam!

Why is it a problem to post the message here so that people are aware of it.
This is a forum to inform people and that is exactly what is being done. If
someone is of the wrong mindset and doesn't listen and follows through with
all of us saying it's bad, kind of a "shame on them" moment.

if it's not a problem to post it publicly, why is it a problem to get the
private message."

posting it publicly is worse....

Report them here: https://www.bricklink.com/problemMember.asp

This spam appears to be working, I went to look for a physical address, found
2. One is a virtual office in Vancouver, BC and a house in San Francisco, CA.

While there I searched for Lego and I found multiple Lego sellers on there, some
did not even bother to change their store name from Bricklink. This is likely
why they keep spamming our message boxes, because it works. SMH.

I'm surprised a BrickLink seller would want to sell on the site, what with
the free shipping policy and all

  Not saying that there's a clear right or wrong answer, just that there's
always some other consideration. In my own store, new minifigures are unassembled
(unless factory assembled) and used are assembled.

I do the same. I keep new and used separate anyway, but it is a useful internal
check that I have picked the correct condition. If it is assembled it is used,
unassembled means new. The few I have that are new assembled, I make a note or
put an N on the bag.

This is a scam, so you post it in public on a forum?
Ermmmmm...

BTW, I'm not sure it's a scam, but it's spam for sure.

Considering they open up several accounts here everyday just to send spam messages
knowing that it is against the TOS when they sign up and also knowing that their
accounts will be quickly closed down but they still repeatedly do it several
times a day knowing then I would say that kind of constitutes it being a scam
site or at least a very scummy site.

I meant...
Apparently (but I didn't check much) it's a working marketplace.
So it doesn't seem to be a scam.
But the way they promote their website is pure spam.

If you wish, it's like if BrickOwl would send messages to all sellers here...
But BO isn't this kind of business, of course.

I see your point and I agree, their spamming here dose not prove that the site
itself is a scam. I should have read your post more carefully before I replied
to it. I apologize for any offence given.

Jim.

Not a mystery...

That’s the rub when using such adjectives or descriptors, they’re subjective
in nature. It’s why they say that vendors should under-pitch, rather than use
such absolutes in sales. Every expectation of "pristine" condition, is unique.

The only instance I've ever felt comfortable in using such terms in sales,
is with our certified/graded trading cards we're selling. And not even with
all grading companies either, PSA only. Otherwise I steer clear of using such
absolute terms in sales.

Tell me about it... People often think their stuff is "like new". They have
an issue where they can't be objective over their own items. I drove 70
miles to get some "absolutely brand new" rims and then see these marks on almost
every spoke and this rash. I didn't even need them to be perfect, but I
felt let down after that description.

Totally agree with underselling. I rarely ever go higher than a “good condition”
description anymore.

The use of adjectives such as “Mint, Pristine, Flawless, Perfect, etc” to better

the proper use of adjectives would be to better describe the honest condition
of flawed/damaged/worn items.

However terms "Like-new or As New" as descriptors can add confusion
to a listing (I assume is the reasoning applied) and therefore discouraged

Thats the only good one (for the most part/that I know of) I've seen what
other companies call good and stuff and they are very unreliable

Of course then there’s the stores that describe their hundreds of 30+ year old
“new” figures as “pristine”.

Not sure how to take that one.

Hello everyone, I had my store suspended after I didn't pay my selling fees,
I have now paid them and contacted BL multiple times through the support form
but there has been no response on getting my store reinstated. Can anyone help
with this?

Ermmmmm...

BTW, I'm not sure it's a scam, but it's spam for sure.

Considering they open up several accounts here everyday just to send spam messages
knowing that it is against the TOS when they sign up and also knowing that their
accounts will be quickly closed down but they still repeatedly do it several
times a day knowing then I would say that kind of constitutes it being a scam
site or at least a very scummy site.

I meant...
Apparently (but I didn't check much) it's a working marketplace.
So it doesn't seem to be a scam.
But the way they promote their website is pure spam.

If you wish, it's like if BrickOwl would send messages to all sellers here...
But BO isn't this kind of business, of course.

I had the same problem when I had instant checkout and it was a semi-regular
occurrence. although I haven't activated instant checkout since (still waiting
for the Canadian tax update) but perhaps it's possible to set a minimum thickness
to 0.01 thickness since all the error ones have a thickness of 0

I run a UK-based store, and ship within the UK. A few months ago a Canada buyer
contacted me as he wanted an instruction sheet sent to Canada. I obliged, and
set up a shipping method for letters (max thickness 0.5cm) so he could place
the order. All went fine and he received his instrcution sheet a couple of weeks
later.

Today I have received an order through instant checkout for a minifigure from
a Canada buyer, using the shipping method that should restrict dimensions to
0.5cm. Now I dont ship parts and figures overseas anyway but I did some digging
and it turns out BL does not have dimensions in the inventory for the minifigure....presumbaly
this is how it slipped through and the buyer was able to order it.

I have suggested to the buyer that we should cancel the order...waiting to hear
back

Question: is there any way to stop Bricklink allowing orders through instant
checkout when there are no dimensions loaded, so I can prevent this from happening
again.

TIA

Probably several of the injured were under 13 considering it is more of a young

I got one too, went to report and message said store suspended. A short break
until another account is created, I suppose.

The account sent message to me is not even confirmed. So I made a suggestion
for not letting such account to send message
