... Ssssooooo... If it's seller responsibility should the seller foot the
bill for mandatory insurance?

Depends on your risk management strategy. I charge insurance on orders over
$50, I will replace or refund all orders lost, and we have decided that we can
handle the occasional $50 or less "loss."
We have an order out right now that appears to be lost that has 10 rare items.
So, I just took another 10 out of my inventory as insurance for the buyer in
case it is indeed lost, it will be a minor hit, but the customer service, in
my mind, is worth it.
I believe that Bricklink should null and void all of the "I am not responsible
for your order once I hand it off to the shipper" nonsense. IMO, this only
encourages bad selling practices and unhappy customers.
If you are a seller, you are bound by the same contract that your buyer is agreeing
to upon submission of their order.

Hi,
You should be able to find a part by its LEGO Design ID here because BrickLink
uses it as a base for its IDs.
The differences are:
1. Some parts have multiple Design IDs for LEGO but are “bunched” together on
BL. In that case, the BL parts has the other Design IDs as “Alternate IDs” and
they are searchable too.
2. Some parts have one Design ID for LEGO but are deemed different on BL. In
that case, the BL parts IDs have a letter or another suffix. For instance,
3001 = brick 2x4, 3001old = the older version(s), without inner supports.
3. On BrickLink, decorated parts (print or sticker) use the plain part’s ID,
with a “p…” suffix. For instance 3005p04.
4. Some parts are a composite, an assembly of subparts (either sold that way
by LEGO or assembled afterward but difficult to disassemble). Those parts have
a “c…” suffix.
For 2, 3, 4, you can find the part by adding an asterisk (*) to the ID: searching
“3005*” will give you all the decorated 1x1 bricks (3005).
You should also be able to find a part by its LEGO Element ID (called PCC, Part
Colour Code here) too.
That being said, 3895 doesn’t seem to be a LEGO design ID.
Does it have a LEGO logo somewhere? (Not all LEGO parts do but when they have,
we are sure they aren’t clones  )
Could you post a pic?
That’s the ultimate solution when you can’t find part: use the community

This is simply obsolete and even illegal in many places.
Especially as BrickLink doesn't display a button "Click here to pay for
an order and have 90% chance to receive it! (and agree)".
So, you can't be sure buyer has even seen or thought at the risk he's
taking.
No, distant selling isn't a game anymore; just talk about this with PayPal,
you'll see

Regardless of the rights of the buyer in the sellers country, you can 'have'
a right and not exercise it.
if I'm holding the seller responsible when I'm trying to save money,
the seller may simply choose not to give me a choice in the matter the next time.
And I will always want the right to choose.
I would reply, thank you for the offer of the 50%, but I took my chances in sending
it uninsured. That's just me though

| If the seller paid insurance, which they should have on an order over $10 usd.
They should be reimbursed the full cost. You should too. We've had 2 orders
lost by usps, one was delivered 3 months later. Refund was issued prior, all
good. Cost of doing business.

Agree on approx this number; in short, it's very small.
Much more, if a seller pays for insurance, imagine what's the cost on 1000
order... Refund from time to time may be cheaper.
But of course it's a bit more complex, there's tracking which may not
be provided without insurance (depending Country/postal), and other legal concerns...

| I've never had anything stolen, just a few hiccups on the road. About 4%
of my mail is not delivered. They're almost always waiting for pick up at
the post office. A tiny percentage are sent back. And only 1/1000 have actually
been lost or stolen. I completely gave up on an order once, and it was delivered
7 months later.
You're justified for a full refund, but I'd err on the side of optimism
and eat the costs.

Absolutely not, 100% refund is.
A couple months ago we've a 250+ € order lost, and discovered even with the
proper insurance rate, French Post Colissimo only refund private customers to
100% - but 70% to professionals 
In short, we lost the order, time to pick/prepare it, ship it, and 30% of the
value.
But still of course we've refund 100%.
Also, sellers: read *well* your insurance terms especially for pros

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

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 ...
