Well,
10% for handling,

+ 5% for BL,
= 15%

banner/slogan and seems to be exclusive to non-EU customers for "VAT reasons"

|
“VAT reasons” = “we don’t want to do the job of removing VAT as we ought to so
we call it a fee.”
If I’m not mistaken, a few shops do that and are from the same two EU countries.
It’s hard to say if it’s actually legal (maybe there’s a loophole but IANAL…).
Anyway, there’s been a few threads about them and they are still at it. But
maybe BL will eventually do something if they keep receiving reports….

| | I don't like the use of a theme in the name.
What is a town wheel, or a space wheel? What if a wheel is used in multiple themes?
|
Thank you for the input! I certainly agree with you.
However, I think it would be hard to get away from organizing by themes. And
use is just as problematic. In the absence of both descriptors, wheels would
simply go in order from smallest to largest. That, or be organized by their
attachment type.
I did suggest themes, but it will be a very limited number of them and very broadly
interpreted. If I remember correctly, there were only these 7:
1. Castle
2. Fabuland
3. Freestyle
4. Technic
5. Town
6. Space
7. Znap
Items 1, 2, 3, and 7 will only have a few or maybe a handful of wheels each.
The bulk of the wheels would be categorized as either Space, Technic, or Town.
No system is perfect, but better systems of organization may become evident in
the future. Refining an existing organization will be easier, I think. And
until then, we'd actually be doing something instead of spinning our
wheels.

| | Hi,
I'm embarrassed to say that, because I was in a hurry, I accidentally ordered
from an EU seller with an exploitative fee (25%) added to the invoice after the
order. Two questions:
1) This fee is not stated on their Terms page. It's only mentioned in the
banner announcement and the slogan areas. Is this permissible? I thought all
fees had to be mentioned in the Terms. I checked their Terms page before ordering
and saw a "5-10 % - handling, paypal, bricklink fees additional to order," so
I anticipated a smaller fee but not a 25% fee that was only mentioned in the
banner/slogan and seems to be exclusive to non-EU customers for "VAT reasons"
even though we have no VAT.
2) The 25% fee was calculated on the shipping and tax charges as well as the
order. Is it permissible to charge a 25% fee on the shipping/tax?
My order was approximately $106 USD, but the combination of a very high shipping
cost (which I believe was deliberately overcharged as well, based on other orders
I've made from Denmark), tax, and this exploitative fee that's also charged
on shipping/tax adds almost $80 to my order cost. Do I have a valid case for
cancellation based on either the contradictory statements around the fee, the
fee being "hidden" in the banner/slogan, the fee only being charged to non-EU
customers, or the fee being calculated on the tax? Can I report this seller for
avoidance of Bricklink fees?

If it is not in the terms page, I'd ask to cancel. And you might as well
report for good measure, then let bricklink decide if they want such behaviour
on their site.

| Thank you all for the input! The votes were:
Approach 1: 4
Approach 2: 1
Approach 3: 1
Approach 4: 1
Approach 5: 2
Approach 4 description: One member suggested wheels be described not by external
attributes such as theme, but instead by the intrinsic attributes of the part
itself. A primary part of this description would be the way the wheel attaches
to other parts (pin, axle, etc.).
Approach 5 description: Two members liked the first approach without using any
themes (space, town, etc.). So this is a combination of approaches one and three.
_____________________________________
Other member suggestions:
Keep descriptors like small, medium, and large (two members).
Use 10D/10W instead of 10mm D. x 10mm.
Remove the letter D. from titles.
Keep the letter D., but remove the period.
Add a space like so: 10 mm.
Keep the website coding format in mind when formatting diameter. Format titles
in a way that is most likely to return useable search results.
And some further assorted discussion revolving around representing diameter.
_______________________________________
So . . . here's what I've decided. I'm submitting the changes using
the first approach I outlined which had the highest number of votes. The changes
might sit there for a couple years, but I'm turning them in.
I really enjoyed all the discussion!! I got to hear from people I haven't
talked with in some time. I think good points were made, but I don't contract
with this company anymore. It's up to BrickLink to decide what they do with
your suggestions.
And a message to the BrickLink website: The Wheel category has probably
never been truly organized. My organization isn't perfect. Not everyone
will like it. But at least this section of the catalog will be organized if
you approve my suggestions.
Once it is actually organized, then you can think about looking at considering
on deciding how you want data formatted in titles. I know your goal's probably
to figure out the perfect way to format titles before you organize things.
And I'm sure you'll take years of board meetings, planning committees,
website surveys, technical consultations, etc., etc. to get anything done.
In the meantime, we have to scrabble through your junk drawers. Let me clean
up your 22-year-old mess. Then, in another decade or so, maybe you can spend
a few thousand dollars trying to comprehend how to clean it up "correctly."
p.s. An administrator expressed interest in the data I have to offer that will
make the commercial side of the website run better, like missing weights,

Yes, there is: https://www.bricklink.com/catalogListOld.asp?invPend=Y

they are going and the AU bricklink stores are flooded with them now (though
not many selling as sets).

We already know when inventories are submitted, how long the inventories have
been pending, and when changes were last made. If things look like they are not
progressing, we are in constant communication with the submitters until the inventories
are finished or discarded. We do not try to hurry submitters or pressure them
until we feel we have allowed enough time for the work to be completed. My advice
would be to not personally contact them about it and assume that we as admins
will do the jobs we are assigned to do. In other words, a bit of patience is
required.

We are waiting for the user who submitted the inventory to say that everything
is complete. As of December 2nd, changes were still being made. When the user
says that the inventory is ready for verifying, it will be verified and approved
within a day or two.

You will need to add the part to the BrickLink catalog first. It's a bit

halfway there. I am happy to help walk you through it if you need any help.
