A simple transfer of my account would mean they do not have to upload the inventory

allowed and maybe there is another way to go about a transfer.

I'm going through the TOS now and I may come across the relevant answer but
I figured someone has to have had a similar situation before and maybe they can
offer an answer that will save me time and keep me from violating any rules.

Go to the TOS and read paragraph no. 1

ima message 1001bricks real quick since he can probably explain it better

lol

As the "seller":

* simply close your shop (or make impossible orders like with no shipping method
or $99K minimum)

* then download your Inventory file invxml.txt here:
https://www.bricklink.com/invExcel.asp

Be sure to check XML and "Include My Stockroom Inventory" (to be sure).

Transmit this file to the buyer, e-mail or wetransfer.com...

Buyer then can download BrickStore (free, open-source), import this file, check/change
prices, whatever and upload to his shop.

Warning - one should upload by batches of maximum 300 lots maybe.
It's not a BrickStore problem, but BrickLink / the browser won't accept
too big uploads.

no. accounts cannot be traded or sold. you can sell the inventory but not the
account. you can help the potential buyer out by downloading your store inventory
and then giving them the file

What would you be complaining about? You were told there was a service charge
for shipping and handling and decided to go ahead and pay. Just because it cost
the seller less than you paid is not grounds to complain to the payment provider.
You agreed to the full price when you chose to pay, to later expect to be able
to reverse the payment because you feel you overpaid on one aspect of the transaction
is not really fair. And you might get stoplisted by other sellers if that is
your attitude towards sales made here.

I agreed to pay shipping on two separate orders that then got shipped together.
The total shipping charge for those two orders was nearly $24. The seller shipped
via a method that cost $5. If the seller was going to combine the two orders
into one shipment and still charge $24, then a faster shipping method should
have been used that reflected the $24 charge. It's very clear in the invoice
that there was an additional $3 charge assessed to each order. I have no idea
what that charge was for, but I'm not disputing that charge. That's
probably a handling charge. $6 for handling is more than fair.
It's VERY clear that this seller was listing things for an extraordinarily
low price to be at the top of the list and to avoid BL fees and then making money
on the shipping of the items. I have no problem paying a reasonable shipping
fee, with even a few extra dollars charged to cover shipping supplies, etc.
But to refuse to group items into a single order and then charge about $18 more
than shipping actually costs is shady. I'm ok if sellers with this business
practice don't want to sell to me.

What has any of yhat got to do with trying to get a refund through your credit
card?

And it is not shady sellers that may stop you, but decent ones that see you make
credit card chargebacks for anything you disagree with once you receive an order.
If you disagreed with the costs once invoiced, then you should not have paid
but instead asked for a cancellation due to high shipping costs.

But to refuse to group items into a single order and then charge about $18 more
than shipping actually costs is shady. I'm ok if sellers with this business
practice don't want to sell to me.

I don't know if it was instant check-out or you submitted a quote or you
just ordered and the shipping charges were added. In the latter case, if it was
added after you ordered, did they follow their terms? If so, then it does not
matter if the shipping charges were $24 and they paid only $5. They wanted, for
some reasons, to charge $24 for shipping costs but they were clear and transparent
about it in their terms (or instant check-out, or quote request....) In this
case, you have no ground to complain and how they did business is correct.

On the side note, the difference between $24 and $5 is huge and they chose to
do business in a way that does not help them.
I have had buyers who ordered from me multiple times, one buyer more than 10
times, and this is because they were happy with everything. I also ordered from
some stores multiple times for the same reason.

Overall, it is ok and there may be reasons a seller want to charge high handling
fees. In one case, a store wanted to charge $7 while the shipping costed $2.05
but I know shipping items for time are more time consuming than for me. They
explained the shipping charges in their terms and I may be happy to order from
that store.

If you just submitted an order in a store that do not have instant check-out,
do not have quote request enabled, and do not explain shipping charges in their
stores, then in my opinion you should not have ordered from this store.

P.S. I don't stoplist you and I think others should and can understand why
you are upset and don't stoplist you

I understand your frustration.

But yes, you may have read more carefully the Shop Terms - few do, I don't


On the other side, you complained, and for any reason, this shop is closed, fair
enough.

You paid but received the goods, IMO it's too late to complain about the
price paid, I wouldn't anyway.

Also note that shipping price has NOT to be equal to postal price.
I'd say it's often or the more often not the case.

+1 I do agree with this even if it was overcharged shipping it was still willingly
paid

Report them to bricklink. Those stores often get shut down

As has already been said, no it isn’t.

This is why I always check both feedback and terms of the store I’m viewing,
these stores are immediately discarded as I don’t trust them.

No, it isn't. If a store does that then click on favorite stores at the top
of the page, then bookmark, then the down thumb. If you make sure you exclude
least favourites from future searches, then you won't see that store again.

I'm fairly new here, but is it standard practice to keep the prices REALLY
low to reduce the BL fee and show up at the top of the list, refuse to group
lots so that shipping has to be paid twice and then charge over 200-300% of the
actual shipping price to "make" money that way?

No no, not this link - I guess the (duplicate) question hasn't been understood?

Ah I see not a duplicate.

But you can't contact BrickLink administration like this, in forum (except
cases where Russell reads...)

I'm not sure what the proper way to contact them, but I'd try:
https://www.bricklink.com/v3/help/contact.page

Or open a ticket here (opening an account with the same member name):
https://helpdesk.bricklink.com


  You may expect a long delay unfortunately.

Ah now that is progress. Thank you so much 1001bricks, it is okay I have time.

  Update: in fact he wanted to ask if it's normal that BrickLink seems to request
his ID Card copy to become a Seller. Replied that yes.

Ah, good that his question was answered. I suppose the next question will be:
How do I get a feedback?


Or "How do I unregister to BrickLink?"

Of course not; it's not your concern.
BrickLink *may* have it, but a buyer cannot ask for this.

I like boywithuke a lot, it might be the sad vibe, or the ukelele.

I just love the music!

He is decent but let's just say he has some "unique images" that were "interesting"
(On ig (alt account) I was able to get so many people angry at me on one of his
posts but it was so much fun )

BTW, read your me page (thanks, even if I'm mixed up with bad people!)

I've doubts about the "music" you're talking about.
Anyway, if it's your taste...

This *could* be close, the difference is they're very good musician/artists
