You have got to list to sell.

I would have liked to buy from you when you were selling off your collection,
but I did not know about Bricklink back then.

I still miss my little collection. Hopefully, I made many people happy.

I ship large baseplates 26x26, wrapped with a cardboard, in a bubble mailer with
CanadaPost inside Canada.

But I am not sure if this is going to be safe for shipping to USA.

Somebody ordered two baseplates and it helps to save few bucks if I ship it as
a letter, wrapped with cardboard. This way, the weight of package will be about
150-200gr lighter.

If you have any experience with shipping baseplates: is this going to be too
risky?

Baseplates are always a risk with shipping.
I try and make it as sturdy as possible, so it doesn’t bend by accident.
Sometimes it helps to write “do not bend” on the package, but it may just incite
others…..

Thick cardboard is your best bet if you don’t want to ship in a box.

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.

You can try to contact TLG. I'm sure if you buy a few billion parts you can

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! 😊

Why would this person who is promoting the 'other lego website' decide

Most likely, they have done so already. Fortunately, the mods are pretty quick

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.
