| | Can someone point me in the right direction to move all my store items to a stockroom
in one go.
If I can, presumably I can then put each item back into store one part at a time,
hope someone can advise.
Store is closed at present.
Thanks in advance.

| | Hi, I am a new seller, I just found out my only option for receiving payment
is through paypal, but I can't seem to find an option for adding a % for
paying through paypal. (I don't want to lose another 3%, so would like the
buyer to pay this.)
Or do I add this % as a shipping and handling fee?
|
Why not just increase your prices a bit?

| | I was wondering if any of you have ever had an issue with new member buyers trying
to scam you or anything like that. I haven’t had a problem with them so far
but there seem to be a lot of new members buying from my store. I don’t think
there’s any reason to worry but it’s also interesting that bricklink tells you
they’re new members if there hasn’t been a problem in the past.

I once had an issue with a new buyer placing an order and not paying. But most
new buyers are great, in fact I welcome them to my store.

| | Aren't the fees PayPal gets on transactions enough to solve disputes?
These charges for disputes sound like scams
|
they often are but whether thru stripe or Paypal it's always a $20 or so
fee as a slap in the face basically
|
And Stripe recently changed their terms so that you get dinged for the $15 even
if you win (because they get charged by the bank regardless)

| | As I am sitting here building 10316-1, I suddenly wondered why Elrond put Bilbo
up. I know Bilbo helped Thorin, but did he help Elrond? Will Elrond put up
anyone who will follow the rules?
|
Because Elrond (and Gandalf) knew Sauron had captured Gollum and tried to (and
continued to) use him to get to the Ring. They knew Bilbo was likely next and
so him being in Rivendell both protected him but also protected any information
he knew about the Ring.
|
So he was a prisoner and didn't know it or didn't own it.
|
In a way yes - when Bilbo first sees Frodo again in Rivendell after *checks notes*
18 years or so, he mentions that he thought of going back for the Ring but that
Gandalf and Elrond wouldn't let him:
"I hear all kinds of news, from over the Mountains, and out of the South,
but hardly anything from the Shire. I heard about the Ring, of course. Gandalf
has been here often. Not that he has told me a great deal, he has become closer
than ever these last few years. The Dunadan has told me more. Fancy that ring
of mine causing such a disturbance! It is a pity that Gandalf did not find out
more sooner. I could have brought the thing here myself long ago without so much
trouble. I have thought several times of going back to Hobbiton for it; but I
am getting old, and they would not let me: Gandalf and Elrond, I mean. They seemed
to think that the Enemy was looking high and low for me, and would make mincemeat
of me, if he caught me tottering about in the Wild."

| | That’s what NET weight would mean 
AFAIK, you will have to sum all the individual weights.
Maybe BrickStore can do it for you.
Problem: the same part can have different weights IRL, depending on colour (transparent
parts in PC are heavier) or depending on the variant.
| | If not, every set has normally its weight indicated.
|
Note that this one can vary too IRL: some sets have leaflets / catalogues or
different versions of the instructions (different language for instance).
|
You could make an educated guess by taking the weight of the set and subtracting
the weights of the box and instructions.
e.g.
The weight of the set, in box, is 1758g; the weight of the instructions is 290g;
and the weight of the box is 264g. So the parts plus bags (which are *very* light)
should weigh about 1204g (approximately 2 lbs 10 oz). Of course BL doesn't
have weights for every box and instruction booklet.

As long as your customers paid onsite the sales taxes were collected by BrickLink
and remitted to the proper authorities. No need to worry.
When I file my quarterly sales and use taxes return in my state I list all of
my BL sales as exempt.
