I can't find it anywhere,

Hey Crystal,
How much would you worry if a buyer, who called you "overzealous seller",
"bonehead seller", "does not know whats going on",..., wants
to block you?
|
World ending. I'd be distraught. XD Then I'd reply to their feedback
with a non sequitur.
|
I would just wait few hours and the feedback will be automatically removed since
the NPD was completed few hours ago.
|
Seriously though, when I'm teaching people Ebay, I have to explain to new
sellers that you are going to have to block tons of people, and to not feel bad
about it. IMO the more questions asks the bigger then pain the person ends up
being.
|
I get blocked on Ebay more often. I am an established seller here and I think
I know why (for what reasons) and when I should block somebody. But I have no
idea why I get blocked by some sellers on Ebay. I already know that by messaging
a seller to ask extra photos,... I am already at risk of getting blocked.
Later time, I got blocked by a seller in the USA after few messages back and
forth. I have absolutely no idea why he blocked me. I politely asked him the
reason and what I did wrong. He did not answer me. As a seller, I literally cannot
come with a reason that he might have to block me.
I believe you did not teach him when and who he has to block.
I wanted badly his rare Lego listings and used a friend's account to buy
the products from him. Now I really want to leave a negative feedback for him.
Is this over-reacting?
I can even pass my communications with him. Maybe you have a better understanding
on how Ebay works.

| It seems the plume feathers that are not used in the minifig are extra parts.
The extra plumes are seldom found with used sets found at sales. Keys in the
Harry Potter set are also confusing in this regard. Other parts like 1x1 round
plates come together and the unused ones are considered extra parts. It does
not seem right that a castle must be listed as incomplete if an unused plume
is not included.
|
It can be listed as complete per definition of used complete set:
Complete - Set contains all parts necessary to build all of the models
(including alternate models) in the instructions but does not have to contain
the original box/packaging and/or extra parts. If the set is missing instructions,
the description must list this. If the set did not come with instructions then
the set should include all parts listed in the picture inventory which is located
on the box or bucket. The set must include all original stickers used on the
model either still on the sticker sheet or applied.

This definition does not say "Set contains all parts in the regular
or alternate section".
If the plumes in a castle set are not used in any alternate model, the set can
be listed complete without them.
| This is especially true of black plumes.

The inventory (Bricklink) shows

show
plume feather triple 4502b

Nope, I didn't have any other issues. as soon as I changed the password,
removed their stuff and setup the Microsoft Authenticator app I haven't had
any suspicious activity.

That scammer costed me like ~50 to 60$ conversation fees of PayPal.

I'll never forget it, my PayPal account got hacked years ago so I had to
call them, we reset my email back, changed my password about to hang up and my
email was changed back to the wrong email address. Ever since that day I use
2fa for everything I can.
Sure it's a bit annoying at times, but much less so than having what little
money I have taken away, that is way more annoying.
|
The thing is 2FA dosnt even help (at least some forms) as I had 2FA via text
yet they still got in without me getting a single text then added a phone number
from the Philippines and a bank from the USA all without raising a single alarm.
I since changed to Microsoft Authenticator so it’s not possible to even sign
in on a trusted device without the code so hopefully that 2FA is better

Hi there,
I set up 2FA with Micros. Authen.
Today I noticed the recent funds I received in USD and EURO were converted to
CAD
The conversions happened at different times. I wonder if this was an automatic
conversation or maybe
Part of an automatic trasnfer: i.e. the guy set up a daily automatic transfer
within which he set the foreign funds to be converted first. Now his bank account
is removed from my account so that automatic transfer misses the bank account
but the part that set up "conversion to CAD" is still working.
I tried to undo this. Hopefully this conversions are stopped.
Or maybe the scammer somehow can login and convert my funds to piss me up because
he is disappointed he cannot transfer my funds to his bank account!
Otherwise, I don't know.
Do you/did you have the same issue ?
Cheers,
Reza

If buyer does not pay, initiate an NPB AND complete it. It can take about 2-3

Yes correct, there are two light gray Bricks 1 x 2:

But on the back of the box, in the alternate model, I see three
They look to be Slope 45 2 x 1 and not Slope 45 3 x 1
Currently there are 41 parts + minifig
Minifig has 4 parts.
Total= 45
But three white parts 2x 6029a and 1x6029b came with sprue:
So the total becomes
Total= 45 - 2 = 43
The piece count on the box is 42. This is a mismatch.
If we add one extra light gray Slope 45 2 x 1, the mismatch would be held!
|
The quantity of the light gray bricks and slopes in the inventory is correct
according to the official online parts list.
https://www.bricklink.com/r3/inventorycomparison/main.page?sourceB=1&invB=6236&sourceA=0&invA=6236-1
|
You referenced the official Lego's inventory because you kind of agree there
are three 1x2 slopes?
At the end of the day, TLG has made a mistake. Either on piece count or on the
inventory and piece count both!
|
Btw., I own this set new in opened box. I just don't know where it is.
|
That is a common problem
|
In any case, there is no evidence that this set came with a light gray
so the inventory change request can't be accepted.

LOL Try buying from New Zealand. I don't even bother looking at any USA or
British shops on here. More often than not your prices and shipping ARE Extreme
in the true meaning of the word. IE more than my order by a long long shot and
simply not woth even looking at which is a real shame as you've got some
great stores.

for common parts, I buy from Canada. But I still order from few other countries
like Denmark, Sweden, UK, Germany,
The last time I received an order from New Zealand was for two minifigs:
Cost of parts: 25.19
Shipping costs: 11.85
Extra parts: 0
Total: $37.04 USD
Shipping costs for a 1kg package would be about $30 USD.
You may consider looking at stores in Canada and other countries.

Hi! Whats the potential implications if the order address and PP address don't

|
If buyer pays via PayPal onsite, they will match because the address that PayPal
copies the address of buyer that he he uses to pay via bricklink and it will
be the one that appears in the details of transaction, so seller would not even
know and will not have access to check the primary address of buyer. (i.e. the

Personallly i dont allow such high orders unless if the buyer contacts me beforehand.
Pypal requires you to ship with signature when total is over 850$ usd
I would invoice the buyer shipping costs including insurance.
If the order is not from canada, then candapost only insures up to$1000
In that case you would need to find a different courier, of you can do some surgeries
to this order, remove few items so that it is $1000 and then the buyer can submit
another order (once the first one is paid) which should be shipped nd insured
separately.

Attached are the images which you wanted to add to your other requests. I must
say the bags look suspicious to me. In fact, I have a feeling the are not factory
sealed.
Besides, the wheels
and
came assembled in sets through the early 2000's. The inventory changes for
4624c03 were already completed some time ago.
|
Interesting.
I cannot tell if the bags are original but there are also some facts making me
believe it:
- the parts look new
- if somebody tried to repack the bags, he managed to make everything look like
original, i.e. the sprues are there, the heads and torsos are assembled together,
the parts are grouped in different bags the same way TLG grouped the parts to
put in different bags. But yet, this guy disassembled the wheels from tires?!
Why?
- the seller or somebody repacked the bags for an uncommon set whose price is
just $150?!
Anyway, we hopefully find another NIB copy of this set sometime in the future
and find out more.

For now, you need to reduce the size of your images to 640px wide or less to
get them to upload properly.

You should not post links to ebay.
Also, the image there does not support your requested changes for the wheels
and tires. The wheels and tires are all separated in those bags.
Even the
are all separated.

Very interesting Randy,
I was gonna write
"Good eyes! My change requests are correct as they are. The wheels
are assembled as it can be seen in the photos, and we don't know the wheels
but similar to other sets, they should be assembled".
But I thought.... How could Randy failed to see this. It is obvious, isn't
it?!
It turns out the photos of Ebay listings I saved in my laptop yesterday are from
a different Ebay listings than the one I found to support my request
This set is from 1990 so it is exactly produced during the transition time. I
will submit a different inventory change request.

| Hi
A while back i ordered new window frames (for 2493c01) for my 8680 set using
the Bricklink inventory as reference. When i got them i was thinking to switch
the glass over from my discolored variants, however i found out that the windows
i had, has fixed glass in them. The window i have with the set is part 4347.
I also noticed that Rebrickable and brickset use this part in their inventory.
When looking in the instructions, the step where the windows are added does not
describe the glass being added to the frame, thus i think 4347 is the most corect
window here. However i cannot be sure that 2493c01 was never used also. Perhaps
the instruction was kept not describing to insert the glass, or perhaps there
are two versions of the instruction floating around?
|
I think both variants are correct, for first (few) year(s), it came with fixed
glass, then it came with removable glass, similar to this set
that was also from 1986 (until 1990).
See
https://www.bricklink.com/messageThread.asp?ID=249134
|
I was hoping to get some input from the community before going ahead and requesting
an inventory change request since i'm not really sure what is the most corect
corse of action here.
|
Instructions only shows the first variant from 1986.
I assume for an inventory change, you need a reliable source, like a new set
as I had for set 7839.

Not suspicious at all. It is a rare figure.
He/she probably created the account because the only place they could find it
is on Bricklink.
If you want to overkill it, you could ship UPS extra insurance and signature
required. That way you know it was delivered to their door and a person signed
for it.
Just let them you are requiring signature, some people are never home during
the workweek.
Probably worth it on such a high dollar figure. Use at least an 8x6x4 box though,
UPS loses bubble mailers.

Comments from Submitter:
Question: I tried to build the house, as described in the original instructions (dating to 1985).
I suspect I need 13 "Yellow Bricks 1 x 3", as opposed to the bricklink set inventory, which states a quantity of 12(?)
Referring to the instructions, I need ...
- step 3: 3 bricks
- step 4: 1 brick
- step 5: 1 brick
- step 6: 2 bricks
- step 14: 4 bricks
- step 17: 2 bricks
Sum: 13 bricks
?
Especially I am a bit doubtful about step 6 - one cannot clearly see what is going on at the front right corner / right yellow wall.
|
I did confirm accuracy of this set. I opened a new set (seals opened, content
new in sealed bag) and they were only 12 yellow bricks 1x3
|
Why does your confirmation say (source: Set Box/Picture)?
If you want to redo it, just let me know. I can remove your confirmation so that
you can submit it again with an updated source.
Cheers,
Randy
|
Because at that time, I had to choose Sealed content but my copy was a new in
an opened box so I asked Russel and he told me to choose Box\Picture. Later,
the other option Sealed bags\open box was added.
Yes, I can redo it if you remove it.
There are other sets of which I confirmed accuracy the same way.

I'm of the same mind - in fact I don't think I've ever even looked
at a PayPal address unless the BL address looked "off". I think it is
best to send to the address used by the buyer when placing the order.

Since your orders on bricklink are paid via PayPal onsite, you don't need
to check anything.
The address that appears on the PayPal transaction is automatically copied from
the address the buyer uses (that you can only see on the order's page) and
so PayPal entirely ignores the primary address on buyer on PayPal.
There is absolutely no way these two addresses can be different, unless if the
buyer pays via PayPal offsite.

do, it appears the buyer has over 100 positive feedback and no negative or neutral
feedback. The dropping it off is no problem, but I just worry about he scames
and am looking for insight. The message is the following:
“ Is there any wear or damage?
If no issues, would you accept my prepaid FedEx label for it. Can be dropped
at any Walgreens if no FedEx. I’ve had no issues using them on here.”

I ordered twice from a huge store in Canada:
Canada First bricks
I politely requested them if they are ok I create and buy the shipping label
and gave these reasons:
- I want to spend more with my account of CanadaPost so that I can reach a higher
discount rate (up $2500 per year is dicount level 1, up to $5000 is dicount level
2)
- It will be cheaper because you also have to charge me 13% extra for taxes.
and at the end, I mentioned i do understand if they prefer not to accept this,
and I will still pay for the order.
For similar reasons, I created and sent labels to sellers on Ebay,... and a few
accepted.
For sellers in the USA, I prefer to create my own label because they don't
use a cheap shipping label. So for small orders, it can cost me $15 otherwise
they might want to charge me $30-40.
It is always easy and quick to think: this is scam, that is scam,...
and if you google anything like "the buyer wants... is this a scam?",
you find some links that it is.
Look at the profile of buyer and the way he communicates and use your common
sense.

| I have I was just wondering what your thoughts are about the following:
Last 2 days I got 3 orders for shipping relatively small sets to the US. And
the lowest is a set of €4,95 with a total shipping of €25,50 (I am located in
the Netherlands). The other sets were €45 and €25, but all very common sets widely
available in the US. All 3 buyers have 0 feedback and these seem to be the first
orders they have placed. I have already send the first order but it just feels
off. Al payed with Paypall. Can this be a sort of scam/fraud or am I just being
paranoid? 😂

Comments from Submitter:
Question: I tried to build the house, as described in the original instructions (dating to 1985).
I suspect I need 13 "Yellow Bricks 1 x 3", as opposed to the bricklink set inventory, which states a quantity of 12(?)
Referring to the instructions, I need ...
- step 3: 3 bricks
- step 4: 1 brick
- step 5: 1 brick
- step 6: 2 bricks
- step 14: 4 bricks
- step 17: 2 bricks
Sum: 13 bricks
?
Especially I am a bit doubtful about step 6 - one cannot clearly see what is going on at the front right corner / right yellow wall.

I did confirm accuracy of this set. I opened a new set (seals opened, content
new in sealed bag) and they were only 12 yellow bricks 1x3
