thought.

| | Dear BrickLink member,
We’ll be making some changes to the LEGO® Account system in 2023 that’ll make
things a bit easier for you and other BrickLink® members. We’re introducing a
universal LEGO nickname that will work in all online LEGO experiences, including
BrickLink. This means that your username on BrickLink will be the same as your
LEGO Account nickname. That way, you’ll only have to keep track of one nickname,
and it’ll be easier for others to follow you and enjoy your LEGO content.
Right now, we’re giving our BrickLink and LEGO Ideas members a chance to create
and reserve their preferred nickname before we open the service to other LEGO
account holders. If you already have a LEGO Account, we’ll ask you to do a quick
setup on that account by following the link below. All you must do is submit
your BrickLink username as your new LEGO Account nickname. That’s how we’ll make
sure you get the nickname you prefer, on BrickLink, LEGO Ideas and everywhere
else!
If you do not have an account already, follow the link below to create an account
and to select your own nickname.
We understand how important it is to you that other BrickLink members recognize
you on our site, so we encourage you to complete the nickname setup as soon as
you can.
There’s one more thing, though. For trademark and copyright reasons, nicknames
can’t contain words like “LEGO” or “BrickLink” We appreciate all our BrickLink
members, and we understand that changing your nickname isn’t necessarily something
you’d like to do. It’s all part of our work to provide our BrickLink members
with the best possible way to connect with the LEGO brand and each other, and
we hope you’ll feel the benefits of this going forward.
If you find your nickname is rejected for this reason, we encourage you to use
other words related to the LEGO brand like “brick” or “build.” See what fun and
personal combinations you can make!
Anyway, here’s what you need to do:
• Follow this link to log in to your LEGO Account or to create a new LEGO account
https://identity.lego.com/en-US/profile?returnUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bricklink.com%2F&clientid=0fd7ca3b-3a33-48e3-a747-8ec6f09557c1&appContext=false&adultexperience=true&hideheader=true&hideclosebutton=false&hideexternallogin=false&childsignupexperience=
• Click the Edit icon next to your avatar
• Choose your preferred nickname in the field
• Click Submit and wait a few seconds for your nickname to be approved
• That’s it! You’re all set!
Please select your preferred nickname by the 16th of January 2023. If you’re
not able to change it by this time, we’ll give you an auto-generated nickname.

but it won't let me pay.

| | Hello everybody,
Yesterday we updated the Seller Terms of Service. Here is a summary of the changes
that were made.
• Opening section - Removed one restrictive phrase
If you do not agree to the revised Seller Terms, then BrickLink is entitled
to terminate these Seller Terms as they apply to you, and disable your
Seller account.
• 1.2.8 - Replaced the term “on hand” with more explicit language
Exact quantity: The quantity of the item that you are listing for sale must
not be greater than the quantity you have physical possession of in the country
in which your BrickLink store is registered. Drop shipping is not permitted.
• 1.2.11 and 1.2.12 - Removed these sections regarding the MOC Shop
MOC Packages. If you offer for sale in your store bricks and build instructions
for a design made available by a Designer (a “MOC Package”), then you must (i)
offer to sell all the bricks that are necessary to build the model represented
by the MOC Package and (ii) deliver or otherwise make available to the Buyers
of the MOC Package the build instructions for the MOC Package.
Designers’ MOCs and Designs. Without written consent of a Designer, or except
as otherwise permitted herein, you may not sell, reproduce or create derivative
works of any Designer's models, images or designs published on the Site,
including at moc.BrickLink.com or within the Studio Gallery portion of the Site.]
• 1.3 - Removed various other mentions of the MOC Shop
• 1.3.11 - New language was added regarding complimentary use of the site
Complimentary use in Select Countries: LEGO BrickLink, Inc. is required to
register with the tax authorities in the countries from which BrickLink collects
Store Fees. For certain countries with few BrickLink sellers, or where the overall
BrickLink sales volume is low, the cost to LEGO BrickLink, Inc. of registering
for tax purposes can exceed the anticipated revenue from Store Fees. In such
cases, BrickLink may not charge Store Fees for sellers in countries where the
cost of registration with local tax authorities would make it economically advantageous
for BrickLink to not charge Store Fees. The list of countries for which BrickLink
will not charge Store Fees is subject to change from time to time as economic
conditions change, at BrickLink's sole discretion. The current list of exempted
countries may be found here.
**************************************
You can easily see the exact differences by opening two tabs for this page:
https://www.bricklink.com/v3/terms_of_service_seller.page
On the dropdown menu in the upper right corner, select July 1, 2021 and for the
other keep it at the default Feb 2, 2023.
None of the changes to the TOS were considered critical enough to require consent
from our sellers. However, communication was sent to various groups of sellers
who may be affected by these changes.
Thank you,
The BrickLink Team

| | Why exactly did we get rid of the Moc shop? The concept seemed cool…
|
I don't remember exactly when MOC Shop was retired, but it was sometime around
1-2 years ago.
I was fairly active on MOC Shop, both as a designer and as a seller for other
people's MOCs. However, I found the amount of effort required to produce
kits to be too much for the amount of money involved, and not many buyers were
willing to pay the full price. I ended up selling many kits at a loss.
In retrospect, it was not very well thought out. Why pay someone else to do something
you enjoy?
That being said, some MOCs did sell well, such as the Nintendo Entertainment
System. Funny enough, the LEGO Group released their own version just a few years
later!
Not sure if it can fit a Raspberry Pi, though.
My personal favorite was the pegasus, I even kept a copy just for myself. It
was also my best selling MOC. The instructions are for sale on Rebrickable:
https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-74921/Amida_Na/pegasus/#details
Now, I just sell instructions for my own MOCs, since buyers can easily upload
the parts list to BrickLink and order the parts on their own. Buyer does all
the hard work, much easier for me…

It didn’t work out. Nobody used it. No demand, no offer; no offer, no demand.

PayPal works in Belarus even with local credit cards from banks that are not
under sanctions, so no problem with payment. I think the real reason is that
Lego left our market, so Bricklink left it as a part of Lego group.
|
I thought paypal had stopped operating in Belarus as Western governments have
applied the same financial sanctions on Belarus as Russia. And yes, LEGO pulled
out of both countries, as have many other Western based international companies.

this situation? why should they be deprived of the opportunity to buy a children's

The Belarusian foreign minister confirmed last week that Belarus is doing joint
exercises with Russian troops building up in Belarus. Russia is freely using
Belarusian air space for missile and drone attacks on Ukraine. I don't think
YOU or any of your friends are to blame, but your government is entirely allied
with Russia in this.
