Maybe BL can implement a simple limit on the number of messages that a 0 or
1 feedback seller to like 5 a day or something as a temporary solution to the
scam/spam emails? Just a thought for a simple measure.

Another response would be to email all users (or just sellers) saying to delete
the messages from the spammers advertising the site.

On one hand, BL makes all sellers aware of it but hopefully in enough of a negative
light that they won't use it.

Good morning-

I just received an updated terms and policy agreement from PayPal. I noticed
this:
-U.S. business accounts will not be able to receive personal transactions from
PayPal accounts outside the U.S. starting October 31, 2022.
-U.S. PayPal accounts will not be able to send personal transactions to business
accounts outside the U.S. starting October 31, 2022.

Now, I rarely purchase internationally and I don't sell, so this is probably
moot to me. But: could this have larger implications for others on BrickLink?

I did look through the archive to see if anyone else had brought this up, but
didn't readily see anything. Forgive me if it is a duplicate post.

Just curious-
David

Transactions on BL are business Transactions so this is not an issue.

If you are selling lego to friends and family, you might as well sell away from
BL and their fees completely.

AFAIU, prototype parts are a nogo but production parts in off colours are okay

You can try to contact TLG. I'm sure if you buy a few billion parts you can
get them in whatever colour you desire

Hello!
Is there any way I can get Lego bricks a certain color that doesn’t exist on
the catalog? Like, can I message Lego? Or do I just need to paint the piece?
Any help is appreciated.

Btw, I know that “selling modified bricks” is against tos, and so is selling
the “test bricks” so don’t start jumping all over me. I just want to know if
there is a way FOR MY PERSONAL MOCS.

Thanks again! 😊

it's an easy question...

Why would this person who is promoting the 'other lego website' decide
to specifically promote it via direct private message-ads to members instead
of just posting the message-ad directly to the forum as a thread?

Most likely, they have done so already. Fortunately, the mods are pretty quick
about cancelling spam messages in the forum. However, they can't cancel private

yes, you are correct,
posting that information in the forum is considerd Spam.

When it comes to nonexistent part/color combinations, you have three main options:

1. Use the same part, in a different color
2. Use a different part, in the same color
3. "Illegal" options (painting, clone bricks, non-LEGO, etc.)

If you're going to paint pieces, I would recommend painting only the side
that will be seen on the final MOC. Painting the studs will make it difficult
to connect to other pieces.

Getting the color to match TLG colors will be challenging, but many paint or
auto shops will be happy to mix you the right colors if you bring them a sample.

As far as I am aware TLG does not make parts to order, so contacting them directly
probably won't get you very far. Someone please correct me if I am wrong.

In my opinion, part of the creative fun of building with LEGOs is using a limited
building palette; e.g., only parts from a certain set, or only official LEGO
parts.

Yikes. For some parts it’s possible to use other combinations of parts to make

In de toekomst ga je best voor de verzending na of de koper goed beseft dat het

Ik volg zelf ook de tracking en als de koper het niet ophaalt, contacteer ik
hem zelf om aan te manen om op te halen. Soms komen de mails van de logistieke

Hello seller community!!

My store is growing thanks so much in no small part to the tips and help from
experienced sellers on this forum.

Your time in guiding newbies like me is appreciated so much!

Now, my question if anyone can help is this:

I would like to offer a free shipping threshold, starting on a pretty high end,
but I am fearful to do so since I have a lot of instruction manuals for sale.

I enjoy providing the service of selling these even if it doesn't really
ever make me anything lol. But if it were to cost me I would not like that.

SO is there a way to exclude items from a free shipping on orders above $x$ while
still using instant checkout?

Any wisdom on this matter would be helpful!

-Thank you!
-Adam of BrickieSixx

You can set any item to "Manual Only" so that it can't be paid by Instant
Checkout

Koper haalt pakketje niet op bij ServicePoint

Viewed:

Topic:

Beste BrickLinkers,

Ik heb nu voor de tweede keer hetzelfde probleem en vraag me af hoe ik dit in
de toekomst kan voorkomen?

Koper kiest voor goedkopere verzending naar DHL ServicePoint, maar haalt het
pakketje niet op. Het pakketje blijft zo'n week liggen en koper ontvangt
intussen verschillende e-mailtjes van DHL met de oproep om het pakket op te komen
halen. Uiteindelijk stuurt DHL het pakketje retour afzender.

In beide gevallen ging het om geen Nederlands en gebrekkig Engels sprekende buitenlanders,
die het pakketje naar het huisadres van een vriend in Nederland wilden sturen,
maar (per ongeluk, door de taalbarrière?) voor het ServicePoint kozen.

Ben ik in zo'n geval verplicht om het volledige bedrag te vergoeden? Beide
keren heb ik namelijk wel het bedrag voor de items, maar niet de verzendkosten
teruggestort. Is het inderdaad de verantwoording van de koper om het pakket af
te (laten) halen, of valt dit onder mijn verantwoording als verkoper?

Alleen nog verzending naar huisadres aanbieden helpt niet 100%, denk ik. Want
bij niet thuis en geen buren die het pakket aan willen nemen, brengt DHL het
pakket alsnog naar het ServicePoint.

Met vriendelijke groet,
Marianne

I'm currently without a car since mine isn't safe to drive currently.
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.

Like others have noted, it is too early to start being concerned. I have, in
the past, had packages that only got scanned once they were delivered. I now
walk to the post office to have my packages scanned at the counter, and it shows
up a few minutes later.

If you rely on pickup, you can print a SCAN (Shipment Confirmation Acceptance
Notices) form for your carrier when they do the pickup, they should scan it when
they do the pickup. This form is on the ship tab in pirateship under the "End
of Day" button.

on Aug. 11th, i finally recieved it, the stupid email you all have been talking

nothing
i ignored it,
i didn't reply,
i didn't repost it for them here in the forum...
i didn't even read it

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

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.

no wonder sellers are joining the other site.. YOU ALL HAVE BEEN PROMOTING IT

-- good job..

ok, well i guess someone might as well say it..
if you are reposting the ad , an exact word for word copy & paste... likely you
have already opened your store on that website & are getting paid a commission
for reposting the ad.

It's amazing the assumptions that you make for everyone. Posting a message
like this in the forum is to let everyone know that when they get it that it
is Spam and they can ignore it rather than question it again and again.

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!

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."

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

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.

If a Minifigure is in MINT condition or a set along with whatever else comes

The use of adjectives such as “Mint, Pristine, Flawless, Perfect, etc” to better
describe with more accuracy the true condition, is a good thing imho. Just as
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
within the TOS.

“Please do not use phrases such as "Like New" or "As New" in the description
of any item, regardless of whether it is being listed as NEW or USED”

If someone can please message or comment back, this is #3 trying to grab feedback
or help and haven’t gotten a thing..

Take a look at some of the responses you received in attempts #1 #2 and here.
Not many will send a direct message, if that's what you're expecting?
