| We had exactly the same issue once. I asked the buyer to compare them with a
fresh new LBG part, not old used one.
He came back acknowledged they are LG not LBG.
Good luck!

Okay, *I*’m officially getting old: I read “2020.” 
Definitely a problem if it’s 2000.
It may also be a glitch in the app: it may still have bits of an old e-mail that

| Got the following message regarding dark pink hands
"Hi! I think I got the wrong colored hands. I was looking for the dark pink
hands from crystalized and what I got was the pink that came from Sinestro. Its
a lighter color"
I think it's about these two parts
We have 973pb3737c01 in stock and they have regular dark pink hands. We don't
have 973pb4789c01, do you know if it has darker dark pink hands? Or if there
are darker dark pink hands ?)

The Item Total is the cart total BEFORE tax. I think your conversion theory might
be on the money, somewhere in the Spaghetti code USD and EUR mixed up?

VA has 5.3% sales tax but if the buyer lives in a municipality with its own sales
tax then that might make the numbers add up.
|
Unfortunately it doesn't.
We got taxed 6% here in northern Virginia. So if 20.17 is the amount including
tax, the item total should be 19.03, $0.97 shy of 20

But it's things like this that can mess a good seller up or get them off
their game.
Also.. NEUTRAL FEEDBACK! It shouldn't go against our positive, yet it does.
There should be a disclaimer as someone hits the send button on neutral that
says "are you sure? Hitting this button makes this person's positive
feedback lessen.. are you suuuuuuuureeeee?????"
Penny for your thoughts?

Relax, you are not the only one. Read our last neutral feedback
We don't offer money for feedback removal, so our percentage isn't as
high. I don't think it affects potential buyer. Unfair buyers got on our

As for NSS, show help desk your tracking and they'll remove it.

Not always. We had twice got scratched minifig torsos from the vey top feedback
store. Since our purchases were in 200 to 500 pieces, it's not likely they
are USED. They should check their inventory more careful though.

as new), but how much circumstantial evidence is enough? I saw a seller today
who had some very rare castle figs listed as new, so I checked his parts list
and, wouldn’t you know it, some of the exclusive parts from those sets are listed
in used condition with damage noted. Really?
I’ve also sold a used fig to someone before and saw them list it as new a week
after I shipped it.
Why bother having a condition if you can just lie and there are no consequences?

Indeed. It's a travesty. These sellers are nothing more than scammers, the
lowest of the low. I've been reporting the one with the tire brand in their
name repeatedly every few months, but nothing's ever done despite the fact
that it's patently obvious from literally over 100 feedback reports that
they regularly sell new figures as used. How much more evidence is needed? Get.
Them. Off. The. Site.
|
" the one with the tire brand in their name " LOL. Never deal with them but from
all the feedbacks they should be banned.
It's very bad practice, right after fake parts. Even with comments on the
part. We purchased some transparent parts with "has been in storage, may have
slight scratching." They turned out much worse and listed as USED in our store.
The store is on our least favorite list. You may get more money for one sale,
but your customers won't come back.

This is plain wrong - here 1€ is still 1€ !
|
1€ is still 1€, but 1€ is $1.1 before only $0.97 now. When you calculated average
price using USD, there is a big difference 😳.
|
Sylvain was half-joking
“Half-” because when you buy and sell (mostly) in € and in EU or even in your
own country, the exchange value doesn’t matter (yet).
|
It does matter for the global price guide. If a single 1 euro item sold six months
ago and another sold now then the average price in USD has gone down.
|
That’s what bahpstore said, and/therefore I was just trying to explain the not-joking
other half of Sylvain’s comment.
Besides, Yellow.Brick said it’s the opposite that happened: the prices in € are
lower now.
Prices in a weakening currency go up, not down (if the price variation is only
due to the exchange rate).
Say the $ price didn’t change / the $ is stable. Something that cost €10 6 months
ago was €10*1.1 = $11, it should cost $11/0.97 = €11.34 now. So if the item’s
at €9 (old price in € minus 10%) now, like Yellow.Brick said, that’s 20% lower
in $ (9*0.97/11 = 79.4%).
|
Let's use a simplest example:
One part sold twice, one for €1.00 another for $1.12 when the exchange rate is
€1.00 = $1.12. At that moment US buyer would see the average price was $1.12,
EU buyers would see the average price was €1.00.
Fast forward to €1.00 = $0.97, the same US buyer will find the average price
is $1.045 (1*0.97 + 1.12)/2 and the EU buyer will see the average price is €1.077
(1.12/0.97 + 1)/2
The strong dollar drag down average price for US sellers, but pop up average
price for EU sellers.

Off-brand got into inventory is the shop's worst nightmare. This is first

This or zeros.
It happens from time to time, and is probably related to Instant Checkout, when
a buyer places the order and doesn't (or cannot) finalize the payment, the
items are temporarily removed from stock...

I'd recommend you NOT to change this until you see it's here (or not)
tomorrow.
Otherwise, there's also a setting in your shop like "Remove my zero inventory",
don't remember, I'll find it if you can't.
I did set it up, to every day.

Checked the other items on the same order, they might be deducted twice as well.
But we have 2-5% extra than listed quantity, so I can't be 100% sure.

Over the next number of years (currently undefined), I will be closing up shop.
My view in that a quarter century is a good time frame for what I’ve done here,
and have tried to achieve.
As such, I will periodically run sales/offers/donations, to physically move inventory
out the door. This will be done intelligently, and if no takers appear (after
a number of attempts) I will donate to a charity or (in some circumstances) send
to a landfill.
Because of the volume/weight involved, and what with shipping being what it is,
some transactions (whether monetary or not) will involve physical transfer to
the person(s) receiving. I.E. I’m not shipping, got it ?
The first in this sequence will be empty boxes. I probably have 20-50 empty boxes
from sets, all of these are 15-25 years old. When I find the time, I will compile
a list and post it against this message. They will be free, but you will be required
to drive to a location which is roughly described as one hour west of Gainesville
FL to receive them. If no one sees a reason (or value), then out they will go.

I then checked another lot.

It subtracted the triple the number of parts actually sold on all of these lots.

Do you have 2 orders in progress? Sometimes when the payment didn't go through,

| | Hello everyone,
I´ve just got my first chargeback via Stripe. I am not sure but it seems that
a user has used a stolen credit card. He opened an account on bricklink with
this username: markapope
He tried to buy a product 4 times in my shop. But the payment didn´t work. So
it was cancelled. One day later, he opened another account on bricklink with
this new username: matthias45
Now the payment worked. I got an order, shipped it to the adress. Everthing seemed
to be good. One week later I was informed by Stripe that the Bank SANTANDER UK
PLC will book back the price of the order because of a potential fraud (4,37
EUR). On top of that, they charged me with a 15 EUR processing fee. So this fee
is about 3 times higher than the complete order.
I was really shocked about this. I have now sent a few documents which will be
studied by the bank SANTANDER. They will make a final decision. But only a decision
about the 4,37 EUR price. The fee is finally set.
So my questions are: Do you made similar experiences? Is it possible that I refuse
this chargeback? Is this fee really legal?
For me I made a decision: Never ever work again with Stripe. I would have guessed
that they protect me. But they did nothing and tell me that it´s all on the bank.
|
Stripe will refund the fee if the bank ruled in your favor.
We had one, a new buyer filed "product was deemed unacceptable" right after receiving
it. We contacted buyer asking which parts were unacceptable - He ordered a bunch
of them - No answer.
We filed response, gave as much information as possible. Order detail with communication,
his new user status, our good standing etc. Also store terms since it asked return
policy.
GOLDMAN SACHS BANK USA did the right thing. Good luck!

Did you file a missing package search request through the usps website? It only

We did, and got an email "The US Postal Service® received the search request

That is unusual - I got my order from Little Phoenix less than a week after I
placed it (and I did receive every single thing that I had ordered). Sometimes
you just never know when (or where) the post office will send packages. I've

Trust to be reliable?
Maybe go with the sentiment behind that Russian proverb Reagan took a shine to
"Trust, but verify (Doveryai, no proveryai)"
Trust, but insure with USPS
* at least for high-value packages during holiday season
|
The problem is - no way to verify! And insurance on every package may not be
the best solution, maybe trust and pray
