It's completely the seller's responsibility. If he chose not to do tracking,
that's on him to accept the risk.

A few months ago, a placed an order from a highly rated Danish seller. The order
amounted to 434.69 DKK (roughly $62.82 USD), and was shipped February 20th. It's
been over three months and the order is nowhere to be seen (tracking was not
included on the order), and the seller and I both agree that the item was likely
lost or stolen. The seller sent photographic proof that he wrote my mailing address
correctly, so none of this is his fault.
We're considering a 50% refund as the fairest option, but I'm curious
about what you all think.
Thanks!

Unfortunately, my purchase settings won't change after repeated attempts.

Which settings are you talking about?

1. Icon My BL »» Settings »» My Wanted List Settings
  »» https://www.bricklink.com/wantedSettings.asp?viewFrom=P
There’s a “Save Settings” button at the bottom of the options.

2. On the Buy Page (icon Want »» Buy), you have Store Filters (see pic).
  Those should be memorized, by preference cookies.
  So maybe check that you accept those cookies: https://www.bricklink.com/v3/cookies.page
But even if you don’t accept cookies you should be able to change them (and
you would have to, each time, because without preference cookies, they revert
to the defaults… but that doesn’t prevent you from changing them, just from keeping
them).

Or other settings I forgot about?

IOW, more info please

Was the shipping a priority service, for example, air, or was it sent by some
economical shipping service, for example, surface or economy air?

Definitely ensure both you and the seller check the shipping agencies responsible
for handling the parcel in both countries. Both you and the seller should also
check with the Customs agency in the respective country, perhaps it was delayed
there?

Sometimes packages show up late because they went to an unexpected destination.
You might still get your package, although as you state, there is a large possibility
it was lost or stolen.

The package should have had a Customs form, sometimes they can track it via that
number, if you or the seller have it. In some cases they use a declaration sticker
but if it's for goods nowadays, it needs to be a properly filled out Customs
form for the relevant country.

Cheers ...

legally the seller is fully responsible for the delivery and should refund fully
but if you are fine with 50% that 100% is up to you and the seller would likely
be happy

  Hello all. This may be my first post here.

In the listing information of a set, there are two sections at the bottom that
I don’t understand. What are “alternate parts” and “counter parts?”

Thanks,
- Rob

See https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=1562

Alternate is for instance when some copies of the set contain a brick with solid
studs and other copies of the same set have been found with this brick with open
studs.

Counter parts is for instance a wheel and a tire listed each separate in a set,
with the combination of both in the counterpart section. Similarly for unstickered
parts + sticker sheets in the main section, and the stickered parts in the counter
parts section.

counterparts are for things like stickered parts or part assemblies like a
turntable where the base an top are connected. alternate items is for when 1
part is found in 2 different versions or moulds in a set it gets added to alternates
or if a set is redesigned during production but stays as the same set then then
new parts get added there

  I swear there was a set that had 1x1 round brick chrome but for the life of me
I can’t find it. Would someone please help before I pull my hair out. Thanks

Which colour of chrome? There is chrome gold, silver, antique brass, black, blue,
green, and pink.

Chrome silver like an old bumper I want to use them as exhaust pipes

Is this the piece? https://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemIn.asp?P=71075&colorID=22&in=A

Thanks for the help, yes I came across that one too but I'm thinking it might
be to long but if I order some and they don't work they just go into inventory
so win win. Thanks again.
