So, what's BL doing to fix this?

some guidance.
System logged me off and I'm unable to log back in. I believe the issue is
that I had a six digit password but I see now that an eight digit password is
required.
It doesn't like my password now. I get the "ID or Password Mismatch!"
I've tried to do a password reset but an email does not get sent to make
this happen.
My user name is "jeffhau" (I created this new account to be able to post here).
My store name is THEREISNOSPOON.
I'm really at a loss here as I've sent messages to Help Desk with no
response. I've tried everything I can think of to get back in my account
but no success.
I'm guessing now that I have unfulfilled orders in my store not yet invoiced
so that's not good. BrickLink is a needed source of income for me as well
so obviously it's not good in that regard.
Hopefully someone out there can provide information that can remedy this problem.
Thanks for reading.

seller to let them know and give them an opportunity to correct the mistake.
If the seller fails to rectify the situation, then neutral/negative feedback

Wouldn’t it be nice, if the feedback system required two comments … one that

How large do you want it? How detailed do you want this scene to be? Very detailed
will be several thousands of pieces and quite expensive, not to mention time

I requested only stores with at least 300 bricks. There are two Canadian sellers
selling yellow 2x4 bricks for really cheap. 400 for .07 and 420 for .08. That's
going to be cheaper than going to the lego store.

ebay ranging from $6K to $14K when the BL sales data for the last 6 months, even

They are not overpriced, they are just more than you are willing to pay. Why
would someone part with one at significantly below market price when the buyer
could then quickly flip it at market price. The market price at which others
are buying/selling IS the realistic price.

| Had a similar issue. Buyer was impatient. This was the first summer of covid.
There were expected shipping delays. I'm confident the buyer got his minifigs
eventually, albeit 2-4 weeks later than expected but never bothered to pay me.
Some buyers think they are stealing from a large company but they don't
stop to think that they're actually stealing from an actual person. I think
if more did, they wouldn't be so cavalier about it.

Yep - this behaviour was recently mentionned here:
https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1328323
Some buyers are kind and they'll pay again, apparently some are less.
And the Claim remains as a mark in your PayPal account 
Anyway - not much you can do, apart maybe counting 100€ "lost" every year while
selling - or such provisional amount, and include it in your prices.

| | I received an order earlier today from an address less than 2 miles from our
home. (It was a simple order totaling $50, containing a single minifig) Packaged
and invoiced within 10 mins. The newish-to-BL/new-to-us buyer, paid immediately
followed by “thanks, I just paid” comms. So the order was labeled and ready for
USPS drop-off within 20 mins of it being placed. I normally wait for other outgoing
packages at the end of the day to post. But as my daughter had a package awaiting
pick up, I figured I'd take the single package to the PO to grab her package.
I jumped into our truck with the package, started the truck only to pause staring
forward down the driveway, contemplating: The man only lives 6 minutes away,
shouldn’t I just drive to his home and place the package on his front doorstep?
How silly is it to drive the same distance to mail the package? He’ll likely
receive his order within 24 hours anyway, but still? I could file for a refund
for the $3.27 label, later?
It’s not the first time this scenario has play out though, as I’m certain
it has for some of you too.
Tell me what you’d do and I’ll tell you what I did...

| I've since readjusted my evaluation to $100k CAD which is about $70k Euro.
Even at 100k Euro as others suggested, it's a far cry from $400k CAD. I'm

I think your asking price of almost 400k CAD is way too high. Consider that
you can get 2 million new parts for 200k CAD but you're asking for double
that for new and used and your inventory has been picked over for the good parts
over time. I think 50k CAD is the right price but it's moot since I'm
nowhere near Germany and you won't ship it.

Somewhat reductive approach to evaluating inventory, isn’t it?
The man has large volumes of higher-valued minifigs and minifig parts, among
other factors to consider for an accurate resale purchase number.
After reading your “I think 50k CAD is the right price” statement, I left wondering
if you’re simply having a little fun with the 35k euro evaluation? If so, why
not just let the man try and promote his sell-off, long shot that it might be.
He’s been jammed up here a few times already.
I think he knows what’s what in this marketplace, at least as well as we do.
Make an offer or not... But respectfully, do it via pm.

If you consider they send free sets to influencers, 50% discount seems like the

When somebody inventories it basically
BrickLink relies on volunteers and members to provide set inventories.
So we need somebody that
a) owns the set
b) is wiling to open it
c) is really willing to sit and count and check the inventory
No small feat for a 9000+ piece set

I am willing to do this if someone would just loan me the set!

| As others have pointed out, you're responsible if the package doesn't
reach the buyer.
However, I would probably ask your buyer to be a bit more patient. Ask them to
wait a few more weeks and if the order doesn't arrive, you will be happy
to offer them a refund. I've had cases where a few users got anxious and
asked for a refund prematurely and this always diffused the situation. Sometimes
they just need assurances that you're not going to scam them and by saying
you'll offer them a refund in a few weeks (be specific with a date), they'll
have it in writing and feel better about it.
In Problem Order, Friend.bricks writes:
| | Hi,
We wish to kindly ask for help with NSS. Buyer placed an order with us and asked
for cheapest shipping. We replied that it would have no tracking and no insurance
in that case. As he accepted that and paid his invoice, we shipped his order
without tracking and insurance - as he ask for. Several days ago, he contacted
us that he still did not get his order. We very politely explained that there
is not much we can do right now – maybe there is only delay with shipment (Christmas
time) and if by chance order would be returned to us we will inform him. We also
asked him if there is anything else, we could do for him. As he still did not
get his order after few next days he issued NSS and he is saying that he has
no proof no reason to believe we shipped his order and even if we shipped it
and if it is lost, it is our fault and we are responsible for it.
In our store terms and conditions is written that if order is not insured we
are not responsible for damaged or lost shipment. Isn’t it so that, if buyer
requires shipping without tracking and insurance and if we have in our store
terms and conditions written that we are not responsible for lost or damaged
shipments if they are not insured, so if he place an order he agrees with our
terms and conditions and he is accepting that risk of damaged or lost shipment
is on his shoulders?
We shipped over 2000 orders in last 10 years and even 30-50% of them were send
without tracking and insurance we did not have such a problem in the past.
Is there anything we can do to protect ourselves? Buyer paid via Paypal. We are
getting suspicious whether the buyer did not plan this. What if he already got
his order, he is saying that he do not have it and wish to get refund. We will
never get any proof if he got it or not. From buyers 24 orders he already has
1 NPB with negative feedback.
Please what can we do? Many thanks for your advices and support.
