I'm sure some of you Canadian sellers have noticed that BL has started to
add GST/HST or QST/PST/RST to our BL fees.

In an email from BL on 3 October 2022 they stated:
"Canadian tax will be applied to commission fees starting from October 2022,
which will be reflected in your bill on November 5. The tax amount will be displayed
as a separate line."

I'm okay with that as that was announced.
What I'm not okay with is that GST was applied to all accrued fees from billing
cycles before October. (I hadn't reached the $10 USD threshold to pay fees
for a few months.)

It's not a lot of money, and definitely won't break the bank, but it's
the principle of it.

This is a caution to those seeing an error when refunding buyers through BrickLink.

I just tried to partially refund a buyer and received an error stating "Something
went wrong. Please try again."
Knowing about errors with some comments, I then tried to again with a shorter
comment and received the same error.
I then tried to again without a comment and received the same error.

The order did not have the refund listed on the order, so I went to PayPal to
refund from there.
The three refunds were listed in PayPal!
When I returned to BrickLink, the three refunds were then listed on the order.
At least the refund was only for $1 (each).

Refunding should be easier than this.
At least there wasn't a tax portion on this refund, I don't know if the
tax portion would be processed correctly if going directly through PayPal.

Can someone help me distinguish between:
 
Part No: 19727pb008  Name: Creature Head Pixelated with Black Eyes and Nostrils, Light Bluish Gray and Dark Bluish Gray Nose, and Forehead with Light Bluish Gray Pixel Between Eyes Pattern (Minecraft Mooshroom)
* 
19727pb008 Creature Head Pixelated with Black Eyes and Nostrils, Light Bluish Gray and Dark Bluish Gray Nose, and Forehead with Light Bluish Gray Pixel Between Eyes Pattern (Minecraft Mooshroom)
Parts: Animal, Body Part, Decorated {Red}
and
 
Part No: 19727pb009  Name: Creature Head Pixelated with Black Eyes and Nostrils, Light Bluish Gray and Dark Bluish Gray Nose, and Forehead with Light Bluish Gray Pixel Between Eyes and Dark Bluish Gray Top Border Pattern (Minecraft Mooshroom)
* 
19727pb009 Creature Head Pixelated with Black Eyes and Nostrils, Light Bluish Gray and Dark Bluish Gray Nose, and Forehead with Light Bluish Gray Pixel Between Eyes and Dark Bluish Gray Top Border Pattern (Minecraft Mooshroom)
Parts: Animal, Body Part, Decorated {Red}

It could just be that the pictures are the same, but I can't tell the difference
between them.
The picture of the three variants doesn't help me.

Question:
Is there an official way to add original boxes?
I looked on the Catalog Add or Change page, but didn't see anything about
boxes.

Change: [g=4016g1] to 4016-3
Change: [g=4016g2] to 4016-4
Change: [g=4016g3] to 4016-5

I tried using the form, but got an error.

There is a change pending approval, but they used 4016-1 and 4016-2 which already
exist in the catalog.

Can we add a search function to the sellers inventory to search for items with
zero dimensions (i.e. where dimensions is zero, not missing)?

I recently had a sale where the dimensions where set to 0 and it was accidently
set to weight bound.

I recently bought
 
Set No: 4719  Name: Quality Quidditch Supplies
* 
4719-1 (Inv) Quality Quidditch Supplies
117 Parts, 1 Minifigure, 2003
Sets: Harry Potter: Chamber of Secrets
and found the Plate, Round 1x1, 4073 was Chrome Silver instead of Chrome Antique
Brass.

I tried to order a replacement
 
Part No: 4073  Name: Plate, Round 1 x 1
* 
4073 Plate, Round 1 x 1
Parts: Plate, Round {Chrome Antique Brass}
and received some in Chrome Antique Brass and and some in a slightly off colour
 
Part No: 4073  Name: Plate, Round 1 x 1
* 
4073 Plate, Round 1 x 1
Parts: Plate, Round {Chrome Silver}

Can someone, who has 4719-1 Quality Quidditch Supplies, check to see if their
set has a 4073 in Chrome Antique Brass or is it something close to it.

I'm wondering if Chrome Silver was an alternate, as I'm trying to complete
that set and the one I got came with a Chrome Silver 1x1 plate.

It would be nice if the seller would be able to change the order status back
to shipped after it is changed to completed.
Especially if the seller accidently changes it to completed.
