  Hi BL Users,

Nothing has changed in my passwords or API's in the last several days but
all of a sudden, I'm getting the error code below. Has anyone come across
a similar issue? I tried putting in the new tokens and resetting but couldn't
figure it out!

BL JSON PARSER: Error, unknown item completeness "c", offset 218100

The issue is in
BL JSON PARSER: Error, unknown item completeness "c", offset 218100

There is a small c where BrickSunc expets a capital C.
On Bricklink you will not see the difference.
Try the set for sale that this is about (probalbly the last added one), punt
in a capital i, save and then change to capital C and save again.

If this doesn't help, delete the set from your inventory and re-add it (with
the capital C)

This is for the sub-condion of the set

  I got this bag in a lot.

Looks like pha007? but i doubt it is from the set 7327

Was this sold seperately?

Probably not Lego (?)
Torso and legs are connected, but arms and hands are not.
As far as I know, Lego never shipped minifigs that way (other brands do)

  Tijd om vaker DHL te kiezen?

Als je veel orders onder de 50 gram hebt, is postzegels van 2023 voordeliger
in 2024.
Ik koop meestal een paar rollen in december en zie dan volgend jaar wel.
Maar die gewichtsklasse aanpassing gooit daar nu wel roet in het eten...

Misschien wel ja, hoewel we liever bij slechts 1 loket post hoeven te droppen.
Maar met de verschillen wel een overweging waard.

Wij kochten ook altijd nog een paar rollen en konden daar dan het volgende jaar
er mee doen (meestal).
Inmiddels had ik al de voorraad gekocht voordat ik dit zag
Maar goed, ook in 2025 (en 2026) zijn ze nog te gebruiken, duurt alleen langer
voor het weer terug is verdiend

  Postzegels zijn leuk, maar ik gebruik eigenlijk bijna altijd een postzegelcode(online).
Die zijn altijd op voorraad...

Met maar een paar benodigde zegels per maand is dat zeker een goede oplossing.
Of gewoon op dat moment in de winkel doen.

Maar als er een rolletje of 6 per jaar verbruikt dan zijn die codes veel minder
handig
Zelfs de digitale postzegel werkt dan niet heel lekker.

Ik kwam er net achter (beetje laat) dat er volgend jaar ander gewichtsklassen
zijn bij PostNL voor verzending binnen NL.
0-20 en 20-50 blijft, maar daarna komt 50-350 en daar gaat een ander tarief voor
gelden (€ 3,70) en dat is niet te halen met 1 of 2 zegels (of je plakt nogal
te veel).

Ik neem dat hier nog een aparte zegel voor komt, maar kon dat zo niet weer vinden.

En boven de 350 gram is het, als je zelf online frankeert, goedkoper om het als
brievenbuspakje te gaan doen.

Met de voorraad die ik zeer onlangs gekocht heb kan ik denk ik 3 ipv 1 jaar vooruit

  Collega's,

afgelopen 2 weken meerdere onaangekomen brievenbuszendingen gehad.
Op diverse plekken in het land.
Meer ervaringen mee?

Kan de pre-Kerstdrukte zijn, maar vind het wel heel vroeg dat het al mis gaat
bij PostNL.
Julliebeeld?

StarBrick

Ik heb (gelukkig) nog geen klachten gehad.
Als ik kijk naar de zendingen dan worden de meesten ook als aangekomen gemarkeerd.
Hoe lang geven de kopers je de tijd?
Want ja kan best zijn dat het allemaal wat langer duurt in deze tijd. Niet alleen
kerst maar ook ziekte bovenop het al vrij krappe personeelsbestand zal niet meehelpen.

However I just received word from a customer that the offsite payments options
are no longer available when going through checkout.

I checked settings and they are still active so I can't seem to find where
this problems originates from.

Does anybody else have experienced this before?

Both offsite options are available for me
So must be as Sylvain says

  Never posted before. I am an AFOL who just likes to buy and build quietly in
the back ground.

However, I just logged into Bricklink, and experienced a 'new' Beta Bricklink
website. I am bringing this to the communities attention because I am genuinely
afraid for the future of Bricklink and its usability.

The Beta version had all the hallmarks of the official Lego website which IMO
is slow, laborious, unintuitive and too 'glam' for its own good. The
simple layout of old Bricklink had gone. The ability of being able to manipulate
searches and gain information about parts, sets, minifigs etc had gone. The Parts
section had been reduced to approx 30 catagories - for example there was no listing
for 'energy'. Rather than a list, it was all big square 'buttons'
so you had to scroll down to see all the 'button' heads despite there
only being 30. There were only rendered pictures of parts, no ability to choose
on older version of a part, as opposed to an updated version. No ability to list
by colour etc etc. I am worried this site is the future.

I had a sudden overwhelming feeling of Anheuser-Busch Budlite (I am from the
UK) moment as I waded around the incomprehensibility of the site. To me, it felt
like this version has not been created by anyone who understands the AFOL community,
or what AFOLS need from an after market site, unlike Bricklink's founder.
This, I feel, is a corporate venture to meet the Lego philosophy and direction.
This has the feel of a Disney disaster.

I am writing this just to try and make folk here aware. I came out of the site
after leaving feedback (yes, there was an option), but later logged back in to
see what I could salvage from my account before considering my options to use
other Lego parts sites, to find I was back on the original format (I was soooo
relieved).

Apologies if this comes across as over dramatic, but I love my hobby, and Bricklink
has been an essential part in undertaking this pursuit. For it to be manipulated
in such a way would at this stage, appear to severely curtail my ability to pursue
it as I have been.

Thank you.

  Hi,

What is this problem?

Thank you.

There seems to be something wrong with your shipping methods.
It doesn't matter what payment option you choose.
But choosing another shipping method gets this error.
Only two that don't give the error are 'Brievenbus Post NL' and 'Request
a Invoice/Quote'
All other methods give the "null: You will be redirected to the cart page."

Adding a large set to the cart (no letterpost options) and the problem is gone.

I would say, check your lettermail shipping options

Hi, just to confirm that, indeed, from the message I get visiting your store,
EU buyers are blocked from buying in your store by BL’s “Distance Selling” mechanism.


  We have already messaged helpdesk a few days ago, but no reply, so I am trying
to see if anyone here knows why this is happening, and a way to solve it.

AFAWK, they are still swamped down by all the re-verifications they have to do
due to the November 3-8 blackout.

Can't believe it's been that long! Well, this is quite an urgent matter,
not a small problem. Perhaps there is a different priority communication channel?
Would be surprised...

Looks like it was fixed.

  Hi folks,

for some reason I cannot edit existing shipping methods. In detail: I want unselect
some countries in existing shipping methods. When I open an existing zone, the
system ignore changes in the selected country list after "saved changes".
Any idea?

BR
Tom

You can't edit the if there are open orders with the shipping methods.
Add new shipping methods with the edited countries and deselect the current methods.

You can not delete a shipping method while there open (not completed) orders.
But changing a method is possible.
Just tried it and no problems.

After altering a zone you need to click the 'Save Zone' button and after
that the 'Save changes'.
Remember that every shipping method has it's own zones.
So altering a zone in 1 method does not change it in another method.

And do you have the MFA option enabled?
Not sure if it should protect changing the shipping methods, maybe the problem
is there somewhere.

  --and to your example, PayPal does require 2-Factor (but they use SMS or
email as mandatory, OTP as optional). Your bank will have provided you the pin
over the counter or via snail mail.


In very rare cases PayPal wants to do an extra factor.
And even then it is possible to cancel, start a new tab and try again, most times
no extra factor is needed

And my bank, yes the PIN for my card was sent by snail mail.
But the internet acces to my bank account was done via the app and had to be
verified by another factor. After setting a password (only 5 digits) an extra
factor is not needed for another 90 days. Only after those 90 days I have to
verify it with the extra factor.

And please, don't make it to difficult to log in to BL.
we use 1 laptop, 1 phone and 2 tablets to gain acces to BL. It would be a hassle
if every time the second factor would be needed.

I could imagine that a 2nd factor would be needed for changing your password,
e-mail adres, shipping or payment settings or store terms.
That way a hacked account could not easy be used to fraud others.

And yes, for an account not used for a longer time (say 30 days) a 2nd factor
would be good as well.

And as for the 15 character password.
Is to to short, should it be longer? Don't know.
But there should be a message about it when entering a new password that is longer.

  Hello Bricklink professionals
If I order bricks in the color dark gray from bricklink, I will receive the stones
as shown in the photo on the right.
When I look for the track sleeper (Part 767), it is sold as dark gray. Unfortunately
the color is not dark gray as shown in the picture on the left. I would call
it brownish gray.
I have some bricks and plates in this color and am looking for matching stones.
So what color should I choose to find brownish gray parts?

The sleepers 767
 
Part No: 767  Name: Train, Track Sleeper Plate 2 x 8 without Cable Grooves
* 
767 Train, Track Sleeper Plate 2 x 8 without Cable Grooves
Parts: Train, Track
were produced for 12 years, between 1980-91 and maybe up to 1994.
I have many of them and I had noticed their colors are not the same. TLG produced
them in different charges over the years. So you need to order many of them hoping
to find those that match with the bricks you want.

Ok my pieces are also from around 1980. And every single piece has the left color.
So my chance of finding suitable parts is extremely little. Sad ...

No, the parts you got (on the right) aren't Dark Grey, but Dark Bluish Gray.
So that seller (or sellers) have their inventory mixed up and you got the wrong
color.
Seeing no DG 4079 being sold in the last six months, they either did not come
from Bricklink, or your ordered teh wrong color.

I am very happy that Bricklink is working again. But now my store is blocked
for sales to the EU because of OSS. All my goods are differential taxed and I
had submitted all documents. Everything worked until last Friday, but now my
store is blocked again since Bricklink is back online. This is very frustrating.
Do others also have this problem? Support has not yet responded.

Best regards

Looks like support fixed it.
I see no issue or error when starting an order, all the way through the last

  As most of us, we have changed our password during the log-in process. We also
appreciate the email sent when a "new" device logs in.

However, I believe BL would need to take a look at how the site remembers a previously-authenticated
browser. After changing the password o on our account from my laptop, I refreshed
the BL page on my tablet, and it authenticated without asking for our new password.
I have to assume this is because of some cookies stored on my tablet.

Changing an account's password does not invalidate sessions which were authenticated
with the old password. It would be good to put in some logic that would kick
off these "old" sessions.

Niek.

This has been reported and we are looking at it. Thanks!

Same here, but isn't that just the browser (Chrome in my case) that stores
the password and makes it available on all devices running the same browser (with
the same account).

Searching for 'Tile 1 x 2 with Groove with "DM 4206" Pattern'
does yield the correct result.
(so replacing the ' with " around DM 4206).
Searching for just '4206' would have given you the result as well. With
"DM 4206" (so with the " you get the the exact result as well.

Seems that, at least the search, is escaping the '

  How do you know the buyer had a problem with processing the payment?
klausunion states that the reason the buyer gave was: "a glitch in the matrix"
That is not an explanation that they have a problem paying, or that they still
want the items.

" 'A glitch in the matrix' is a phrase that refers to an example
of an unusual occurrence that cannot logically be explained" - the internet

not sure if you are aware of what that phrase meant, but that is what it means..
an off-the-wall rare thing that isn't easily explained.

So why not just say that there is problem with the payment.
As you said "an unusual occurrence that cannot logically be explained"
having a problem with the payment may not be explainable, but could have been
told as such.
It's not a reason that "cannot logically be explained"
'sorry, having problems with the payment' is easy en clear enough.

  buyer informed the seller there was an unusual problem that prevented him from
completing the transaction ( assuming it was payment related as nothing was noted
by OP as to a different new address detailing the buyer had moved or anything
else that had changed).

No, the buyer quoted a movie line without any context so the OP had no idea what
the actual reason is.
And here you 'assume' that it is payment related, but that is not stated
anywhere.

  buyer then returned to the store, even going through the process of creating
a new account , in order to buy the original items & complete the transaction.

And it is not allowed on Bricklink to create a second account, certainly not
for circumventing a block. It would have been better if the buyer had contacted
the seller and ask why he/she could not buy from this seller. Maybe with some
explanation things could have been worked out.
It is also possible that the buyer had a glitch (not in the matrix) and did not
even remember that he/she already had an account.

  OP didn't state buyer did not pay the 2nd time, just that they wanted nothing
to do with the buyer & is attempting to get them banned for creating the new
account.

You don't get banned for a second account. Admin will merge the 2 accounts
and that's it. Only when more accounts are created a ban is considered.

  thought that was all pretty laid out by the OP's initial post & follow response
to BL admin..

  A couple weeks ago, a buyer cancelled their $200 order because "a glitch

user from my store. Today, I get the same order from a different account with
0 feedback. It is the same person, the same address etc. They seemingly created
a new account just to place the order again. Isn't it against policy to
have 2 accounts?

why did you block the initial order after the buyer explained they had an issue
with processing the payment?
obviously the buyer wanted the items & explained there was a problem.

because they then returned to your store having had to create a new account to
get the original order processed through ( because you blocked their 1st account)
only to have you come to the forum to figure out how to punish them more...

???

someone having to cancel an order due to financial a mishap at that moment, only
to have the seller block them & pursue getting them banned from the site for
trying to complete the original order is just weird.

How do you know the buyer had a problem with processing the payment?
klausunion states that the reason the buyer gave was: "a glitch in the matrix"
That is not an explanation that they have a problem paying, or that they still
want the items.

It looks homemade with those jumpers (electronic, not LEGO) on the end of the

What is in the LEGO piece? Presumably not a simple LED as it has three wires,
but it could be set up to do on and/or blink.

i can’t open the brick. possible glued.

then i also think it is home-made. Thats why i could not find it here.

Not LEGO (pieces are, but not in this configuration), but not home-made

  Hello,
Is there a way to know even roughly, like a percentage, how many of a MOC's
parts I already own before buying the instruction ?

Since it is a MOC from the Pop-Up store the parts list is on Bricklink, only
not as a file, you have to do some work
Just start the purchase, when selecting stores, choose as less as possible and
let the carts get created.
Don't checkout

Now with Brickstore (https://www.brickstore.dev/) import the created carts.
Copy paste all carts into a new list, let the items be merged.
Now you have 1 list with 355 lots with 2021 items.

I'm not sure how to use Rebrickable now, perhaps uploading it there and do
a compare on what you have?
As far as I know Bricklink has no option to check your collection against a wanted
list.

And don't forget to empty the created carts, maybe exept the cart with the
instructions

Maybe you should look at your terms

There is nothing about hand delivery and a minimum order.

And just a tip, seeing the other complaints, check your colors.
I see a few items in your store without image, that indicates that the item does
not exist in that color (according to Bricklink).

I'm trying to part out 71799-1 Ninjago City Markets. It says that I must
part it out in 2 halves. Is there an easy way to do this? I've tried just
deleting chunks of the inventory, but it is taking a long time.

Maybe there are macros or other options I am not familiar with.

Thanks in advance!

Do it with Brickstore.
That can part-out the complete set and after you are done you can upload in 2
batches

Hi,

You can contact the Help Desk here: https://www.bricklink.com/v3/help/contact.page
or here: https://helpdesk.bricklink.com/Main/ (you need to re-register with the
same address as on the main site)

The second site allows to follow your tickets (even if opened the other way).
(Note that the tickets are shown as “closed” as soon as they get an answer. 
That doesn’t mean they are closed / dismissed / rejected / ….  It’s just how
the UI works.)


Or just point them to the terms https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=102

New Minifigures - Minifigures are brand new, taken directly from new sets or
purchased as new in another form such as accessory packs or Pick A Brick and
have been handled only for sorting. Minifigures may be listed as new either assembled
or unassembled.

  Can I make two different invoices, one for domestic and one for international?

I see domestic buyers sometimes pay via PayPal as it's in our invoice. But
we force them (as in no other option) to use IBAN as it's free and common
in The Netherlands. PayPal always has additional costs and on small orders it
makes you might even lose money on it.

Regards,

Dennis

No you can't make 2 different invoices.
But you can use macro tags to send different texts for different options.
1 text for Domestic buyers and 1 for International.
And/or different texts for payment types.
See https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=661 for a list of macro tags (not
all usable in invoice).

I made my invoice so that Dutch buyers get Dutch texts with IBAN info, or PayPal
info, depending on the payment option.
And the same for international buyers.

To see if the texts are correct I fiddled around with received orders, for test
changing payment options on them, click on the invoice button and see what is
says (and not really sending the invoice)

If you would like my example than send me a message

  Hi

I messed up my updated inventory with Bricksync, and I am having problems restroring

The log file says that backup no. 00182 was created after checking I have 580k
parts in my Bricklink inventory

16:39:17 INFO: BrickLink inventory has 579960 items in 7971 lots.
16:39:17 INFO: Saving backup of BrickLink inventory at "data\backups\2023-08-19\00182.bsx".


But when i open the 00182 file in Brickstock, it has the old inventory of 390k
parts

My new parts are put into drawers which I noted in the remark field, so now they
are impossible for me to find, as I can not simply upload them again

Please advice!

Casper

The backup file that is saved is the situation as it was before the last change.
So if you part-out through Bricklink and then do blmaster on/off the backup is
from before that part-out.
Relevant questions are, what did you do that messed things up and how did you
add the almost 200K parts.

After nearly 20 years of notifications from Bricklink, all of a sudden all my

Any advice

Thanks

Please contact your ISP (internet service provider) and ask them to unblock emails
that come from BrickLink, esepcially from blservice.com.

Happening to me since a few days ago too, will try to contact my ISP and see,
I suppose you mean the address blservice@bricklink.com

But I do get message email copies from that BL email, just no order emails...

Although they use the same e-mail address, they come from different internal
servers.
And from that they go through different mail server as well.
Messages: blsmtp02.bricklink.com
Orders: blsmtp.bricklink.com

So maybe one is blocked by an ISP (or anti-SPAM server) and the other is not.
Just checked and they both don't seem to be on any list.
But it might be on a Microsoft blocklist. A lot of people/hosters ares using
MS tools and servers.

BL should be able to see if they receive any bounce mails and work from there.
This is not something individual users can (or should) fix.
And yes they also should fix DMARC (SPF and DKIM)

Blijkbaar was het toch een groter probleem dan gedacht. Misschien dat er meer
mensen onverwacht geld 'terug' krijgen.
Onderstaande reactie kreeg ik deze week van PostNL

"De facturen x & x worden centraal gecorrigeerd, omdat het helaas een bekend
probleem is en bij meerdere klanten is gebeurd, naar verwachting is dat de correctie
volgende week verwerkt zal worden."

  Wat ik bij mij in de overzichten (o.a. het csv-bestand "Barcode rapport"
zie, is dat de basis wel goed gecategoriseerd wordt over buspakjes en pakjes,
maar dat de "extra's" zoals de tracking altijd op "pakje"
staan. Maakt op zich niet uit omdat de opslag voor tracking hetzelfde is voor
een buspakje en een gewoon pakje, maar het is wel storend.

Ik vond het makkelijker toen elke optie nog zijn eigen productcode had.

Mja, die losse regels voor de track en trace zijn inderdaad irritant.
Maar als een Brievenbuspakje met TT goed staat, dan staat ook de de TT in "OMSCHRIJVING_NIVEAU_1"
als Brievenbuspakje

Als een Brievenbuspakje echter als pakje is gefactureerd, dan staat de TT ook
op pakje.
Een combinatie dat de zending zelf wel als buspakje staat, maar de TT als pakje
heb ik nog niet gezien.

De oranje selectie 'buspakje priority' maakt geen onderscheid tussen

Iemand die weet hoe dit werkt?

Sinds 1 maart heb ik de optie beschikbaar gesteld als verzend optie.
Relatief veel kopers kiezen er voor, ondanks de extra kosten, had dat niet verwacht.

Echter gaat de facturering bij PostNL (in elk geval bij mij) niet goed.
Heel veel van de buspakjes met T&T worden als pakje met T&T in rekening gebracht.
Scheelt nu al op 3 facturen zo'n 10% van de factuur
Stomme is dat het niet bij elke zending fout gaat, ik kan (weer eens) geen lijn
in ontdekken.

Maar misschien goed om het zelf ook in de gaten te houden.

Ik heb 2 browsers geprobeerd: firefox en chrome.

(Om reacties te voorkomen als 'waarom meld je dit niet bij Postnl': Ik
ga vooralsnog geen contact opnemen met postnl omdat deze een zodanige barrière
voor klachten of vragen heeft opgeworpen dat ik er compleet van in de stress
schiet en ik weet dat het je uren gaat kosten om alleen al een reactie te krijgen
etc. etc. etc.)

Ik had het issue ook sinds gisteravond. Gebruik het importeren systeem en zag
dat de import bleef hangen na het valideren van de adressen. Ik zag de labels
wel in de voorbereide zendingen staan, alles selecteren en printen gaf een error
dat er maar 100 tegelijk mochten (waren er maar 4).
Ik heb later (zojuist) 1 zending geopend en daarbij leek het er op dat er geen
link gelegd kon worden met de product code, die opnieuw selecteren en toen kon
ik wel printen.
Daarna nog een import geprobeerd en die kwam er meteen doorheen.

Alles lijkt weer te werken

Though, a friend of mine who ordered today, did receive his invoice. So I'm

Dennis

Do all your shipping options have instant checkout?
I only see it noted at 1 option, outside NL looks only manual.
And with the default setting you should get a copy of the instant invoice, if
you did not get those either, check your IC settings.

Support.
I will not post a name/username at this time, but I would caution other Sellers
to be wary of any non messaged communications they receive purporting to be from
Bricklink Customer Support.

Bricklord

Maybe it is better to report it to the helpdesk.
That will be read for sure (if you get an answer is another matter)

  Ha,

Ik ben nieuw als verkoper en heb onlangs wat parts verkocht. Koper zit in Canada
en wilde de goedkoopste verzendoptie weten. Ik kwam via PostNL uit op 3,30 voor
een brief van 20-50 gram, vanaf 14 x 9 cm tot 38 x 26,5 x 3,2 cm.

Echter als ik doorklik lees ik dat ik op deze manier alleen documenten mag versturen,
geen goederen. De goedkoopste optie wordt dan ineens 9,50 en moet ik een douaneverklaring
opstellen. Blijkbaar is dit nieuw sinds 1 januari.

Kan ik me van de domme houden en hem toch versturen als brief? Of terug naar
de koper? Wat zijn jullie ervaringen hiermee?

Jon

Brievenbuspakje naar Canada voor consumenten is volgens de site minimaal 11.50.

Douaneverklaring is zo gedaan, daar zou ik me niet druk over maken.

Je mag geen goederen in enveloppen versturen, regel is al een jaar of wat.

9,50 zonder tracking. Maar helder. Ik wist van strengere regels voor de VS, maar
blijkbaar geldt het voor heel Noord-Amerika.

Jon

En voor alle andere landen buiten Nederland.
Naar nergens (buiten NL) mag je producten als brief versturen.
En dit was ook zeker vorige jaar al zo, maar volgens mij zelfs al een jaar (of
2) eerder.

  Please could anyone help me regarding extortionate shipping when someone purchases
one of my instruction manuals.

I have had a few orders now where bricklink only gives the option for a medium
parcel when it's clearly only a manual so therefore will fit in a large envelope.
It's defaulting to £5 for shipping when it should be more like £1-£2.

Is it something I have set up wrong on my store settings ? Or is this a well
known issue.

Many thanks.

Take a look at the dimensions of the manuals.
Most have the dimensions of the original set box and those are way larger then
the instructions

  Hi allen,

Hoe gaan jullie om met de nieuwe tarieven van PostNL? Hoe verwerken jullie deze
in de tarieven?

Het is echt een drama. Het hele zone gebeuren is verleden tijd en de tarieven
verschillend per land. Er zit wel wat groepering in, maar als je naar alle landen
wilt versturen, is dit nu bijna onmogelijk, tenzij je met 1 tarif werkt, maar
dat wil ik eingelijk niet, omdat je in een aantal gevallen ook teveel aan verzendkosten
gaat rekenen.

Wat ik nu heb gedaan, is de meest voorkomende verzendlanden (volgens PostNL)
en die in mijn order summery wel aparte tarieven voor gemaakt en de rest dan
verdeeld over tarieven per continent (wat een basis inschatting is). Hiermee
wordt wel auto check-out onmogelijk gemaakt.

Iemand nog andere ideeen hoe hiermee het beste om te gaan?

Met vriendelijke groeten,

José

Binnen Europa valt het wel mee. Voorheen waren er twee zones in Europa, nu drie.
Denemarken en Oostenrijk vormen nu de 3e groep. Ik heb het e.e.a in een tabel
gezet op mij terms page, voel je vrij om te controleren/kopiëren.

Voor het zakelijk verzenden is het al langer erg verdeeld. Voor de zakelijke
buspakjes kom ik al op 14 'zones' en dan klopt het hier en daar nog niet
helemaal.

Kijkend naar de consumenten buspakjes kom je ook niet met maar 3 zones toe.
Ierland en Portugal wijken af ten opzichte van de rest (en elkaar).

En voor de normale pakketten heb je zeker 10 zones nodig.

Mooiste zou zijn als de tabel van PostNL in Bricklink ingevoerd zou kunnen worden
en elk land de juiste tarieven kreeg, op een makkelijke manier dan wel te verstaan.
Want het kan nu al, alleen is vrij veel werk

Overigens moet je even kijken naar je EU1 zone, daar heb je Oostenrijk nog genoemd
staan

Did the buyer actually use PayPal onsite?
Normally with onsite the status should automatically go to paid and then you
set another status

That would explain why the seller can't change the payment status
from None

If memory serves, even with on site payments, a buyer can FORCE the payment check
box to Paid (but BL shows then a warning).

Maybe it's related?

I see I forgot the add something
When there is TAX (or VAT) involved, seller can't set the status.
Only when it is paid through the onsite method the status will go to paid.
From there the seller can set another status, even set it back to none (no idea
what happens then with the options).

Did you try and change it on the Edit Order page as well?

Jen

Maybe revert the status from Packed to something else? Has it actually been paid
or do you still need to send an invoice?

  PostNL tarieven 2023. Wat een doolhof is dat geworden zeg. Altijd met internationale
zones kunnen werken en dit ook zo in het automatische verzendsysteem kunnen knikkeren
van Bricklink.

Alleen nu calculeert PostNL voor elk ander land een apart tarief (in iedergeval
de buspakjes). Zones zijn weg. Verschrikkelijk. Hoe gaan jullie dit in Bricklink
oplossen met de shipping methodes? Voor elk land iets aanmaken, een flat rate
toepassen? Eigen shipping zones creëren met de landen met hetzelfde tarief?

De zones zijn er nog steeds, alleen meer. Binnen Europa is een zone bijgekomen
met alleen Denemarken en Oostenrijk. De rest lijkt ongewijzigd qua indeling.

Misschien dat het voor de consumenten verzendingen komend jaar veranderd wordt.
Voor zakelijke verzenders was het dit jaar al een doolhof en veranderd er volgend
jaar ook weer veel

Ik heb sinds begin dit jaar diverse shipping options gemaakt voor diverse landen.
Gekeken naar wat ongeveer overeenkomt en daar groepen van gemaakt. Bij de ene
groep kom ik hier en daar tekort en soms blijft er iets over.
Maar is een hele puzzel

  Hallo,

De fees die je als verkoper aan paypal dient af te staan, zijn deze in dollar
of in euro? Ik heb ergens gelezen 0.49 per transactie plus 3.49% van het gehele
bedrag... maar is dit in dollar of euro?

Ben pas deze maand begonnen als verkoper op bricklink, ik lees graag al jullie
suggesties om dit soort dingen goed aan te pakken! Alvast bedankt!

In Euro omdat het via PayPal.nl gaat. De wisselkoerskosten ook.

Aangezien je volgens je terms alleen Euro accepteert zal alles in Euro gaan.
En je kopers zullen dan ook in Euro moeten betalen, eventuele wissel kosten zijn
dan voor rekening van de koper, heb je geen last van.

Either all sales were moved, or, in case you still see them, your settings got
changed.
If I remember correctly I had hidden the sales topic, but saw them as well. Just
hid it again and all are gone (from view )

As said, if you still see them, just check the setting.

Volgens mij is het ook niet correct wat je gemeld is door PostNL.
Hier (Assen) lopen de postbodes met een smartphone waarbij ze wel degelijk dingen
scannen (waaronder de buspakjes).
Gebeurd niet op het moment dat ze hem in de bus doen, maar aan het begin van
de straat als ze hun stapel pakken voor het blok dat ze gaan doen.

En als ik kijk naar de aflever momenten (en tijden) van buspakjes die ik heb
verstuurd (en zijn aangekomen) dan is dat meestal ergens in de middag (heel verschillende
tijden).
Lijkt me niet dat dat in een sorteercentrum gebeurd.

Maar goed dan nog kun je na x aantal dagen alleen als verzender een onderzoek
laten starten. Als het dan nog niet terecht komt dan is het enige dat je terug
kunt krijgen de verzendkosten, niet de inhoud
