How are we supposed to know for sure if a item was not released if no one can
put one up for sale?!?
So my request is that you allow sellers to sell the item, but only in the conditions
of sealed or new.
|
If anyone has one of the unreleased items and would like to list it for sale,
they can inform us. Then we'll look into it and remove the "not released"
flag if necessary.
|
But most sellers won't think of that or have the time to bother.
|
Have you seen the BrickLink catalog? There is so much stuff here that is not
cataloged anywhere else. Over the 24 years that this site has existed, I would
say that almost anything that any user has had has found its way into the catalog
somehow. And we still get rare and old stuff submitted all of the time. If any
of these sets actually existed, they would have most likely turned up by now.
And like Jonas said, if they do turn up, all they have to do is send a message
or make a request like everyone else who wants to contribute.
|
Ok, but could you put a note on the items stating, that if you have one to contact
the admins?
| |
| | | | Since there isn't anything here that we can do from the catalog side regarding
the unreleased items (we can neither change the wording nor the listing policy),
I have moved this thread to "General".
|
I do have a set to be added to the unreleased catagoy though.
(No I don't have it, but I know of it)
Where do I add it?
|
What set would that be?

I have had prototype parts that I actually have in-hand rejected from the BrickLink
catalog because they were never officially released. My impression is that those
sets existing in the catalog at all is really just a remnant from a more permissive
BrickLink era.

No. They are just undecorated versions of items that were released. They definitely
exist, because they have to exist as a plain part first before being printed.
And some are just test run colors to test molds.

I am a bit confused, is this a used set, and you did not check to make sure that
it was complete before you listed it? Did you know it was complete, and the buyer
is saying it is not?
seems very fishy that the buyer is wanting replacement parts that are the expensive
ones that sends up red flags.
I would offer a refund as the other member suggested, try that first then if
not get the parts from bricklink dont break up a bunch of sets that will cost
you more in the long run.

If it were me I would buy the parts on BL and have them sent directly to the
buyer or offer a refund. That way you don't have to mess up your other sets.
|
Might be better to send what he has, then replenish from BrickLink sellers later.
That way he's not giving out a buyer's address to a third party and can
account for the parts' condition directly.

Well, BrickLink terms of service say you can’t transfer an account. You can
sell (or give away) your items, but not the account & feedback.
OTOH, your situation is particular (incorporation & between spouses… but OTOOH,
you’re still two different people (or three, if there’s a “corporate/juridical

Try asking the Help Desk… but then, the answer may take some time.

I'd trust bricklink over brickset when it comes to Inventories. Brickset
imports them from other places.

It might be helpful to name the set? I don't see how one can troubleshoot
a problem, or even determine whether a problem exists, without this information.
Did you confirm that the BL and Brickset inventories differ?

You should check yourself to see if there are any differences in the databases.

This page asking for verification of the "Owner" of the store, name DOB

This has turned off ability for our customers from being able to pay. So we

What are they asking for to re-verify you?

They want name and date of birth and copy of photo ID

They are possibly just trying to verify they are speaking with you and not the
hacker. When I was hacked, Admin Russell asked me some questions that only I
would know the answer to in order to verify that the hacker didn't have access

This page asking for verification of the "Owner" of the store, name DOB
and Copy ID. But we keep getting form not filled out correctly which it is.
This has turned off ability for our customers from being able to pay. So we
cannot get any orders, this just came out of the blue and we have been selling
for 18 years.
How long did it take for you to get Russel to help you out. I have sent 2 messages
to him and have not heard from him yet.
I have customers ready to place orders but they cannot checkout.

That sounds like a scam to me. But who knows.
|
It's the exact opposite.
Seller has been scammed, they ask seller to confirm it's HIM and NOT the
scammer.
Sounds very normal to me.

good spot. i see his store is closed with a message that he is under attack.
it seems that this specific phishing attack has gotten quite a few sellers.

In your store settings do you have One-Time PIN enabled? It's there for
your store protection, and BrickLink may have automatically turned it on in the
wake of recent hacked accounts. You can turn it off if you want, just be careful
of your account if you do.

You've been hacked. This happened to me 2 days ago. Go look at your profile
and you will probably see that your email has been changed.
- Turn off the payment
- Download your inventory
- Close your store
- Put up a message and banners that you've been hacked and are straightening
everything out - - Search your inventory by newest items and delete anything
uploaded
- Delete your store/shipping terms
Contact Admin Russel right away and he will help you straighten anything out.
Let me know if I can be of any help as well.

Did you click on a button or a link from an e-mail which looked like being
sent from BrickLink?

Just noticed, thought it showed for both orders and quotes but either way it
still shows for orders so it’s not much of a difference

You may be right. But it still shows for orders which can be frivolously placed
