| | I cannot think of a single situation where a buyer would leave feedback if they
didn't consider the order completed? Presumably they leave feedback when
they've either received goods and are happy (Order Completed) or they leave
negative/neutral feedback because they are unhappy with the sellers lack of resolve
(Order Completed)
On other platforms like ebay there is no Completed status because feedback alone
defines the orders status and rounds up the overall transaction as complete!
|
I've definitely had buyers leave feedback before they even received their
orders - rare, but it happens. I don't know if one can do the same on eBay
(it seems one can click the "Leave Feedback" button but I don't know
if the form can be submitted), but in any case, since eBay also tracks orders,
I imagine the order isn't complete until the buyer has received it (I don't
know what happens in cases where the order can't be tracked).
I think if the buyer marks the order as "Received" and then leaves positive
feedback the order should automatically complete. Maybe when the buyer leaves
any kind of feedback? Not sure about that last part.

Of course, you can leave feedback for up to 6 months, it's possible you could
be in a better position to do so by then.

| | Hi, could someone help please as it is my first time ordering. I ordered and
paid for some parts to complete a set but since I completed the order it has
been cancelled by the seller. Comment on message informing me says feedback
is required to order? I tried to message seller to ask but it says I am on their
stop list.
Can someone give me a good reason not to leave bad feedback, is this the seller
or the system which has failed me? Should I be able to order just a few parts
and pay the postage?
TIA

Did the seller refund you in full?
Thankfully most sellers aren't like this. Yes, you should just be able to
order a few parts and pay for them, and receive them in turn.

| ENFIELD, Conn. - April 1, 2024 - Announcing BrickLink Dating™
After the failure of its Trionicles line, the Lego Group (TLG) decided to throw
its hat into the ring of online dating. "And where better than BrickLink,
our site for new and used Lego™ parts?" asked Susan Williams, head of TLG's
Consumer Services division since 1978. "Prospective dating partners will
have the opportunity to list themselves as 'New' or 'Used'",
corresponding to BrickLink's most general category. Ms. Williams did add,
however, that some of the best-known features of BrickLink will be missing from
BrickLink Dating™. "We have no plans at the moment to implement any sort
of color scheme."

I don't think that's really necessary - once it's "Shipped"
it's "seller complete".

| | After the seller received the goods back, he asked me to remove the "Completed"
status from the order (his message can be viewed in the order history).
I did this as requested.
Then he opened the "Non-Paying Buyer Alert"
|
I'm guessing that the seller's reasoning was that he wished to cancel
the order (this helps with inventory and also means that he would not have to
pay fees on the sale) and avoid the possibility of negative feedback from the
buyer (a completed NPB means the buyer cannot leave feedback).

Thanks for helping.

"Invalid Device" sounds like it's related to the one-time pin. If
BrickStore has its own login for API access then it could be that that setting
was turned on (as it was for everyone) and needs to be turned off.

| | Hello,
I have bought some lego parts, but i believe they might be fake.
The bricks do have 'lego' written on the top of the studs, but on the
back side of the brick there are no 4 or 5 digit part number. Anyone can tell,
if these are real lego (maybe older parts only had the logo)?

Though fake Lego usually doesn’t have logos, pictures would be great

I'm not going to say it's never happened, but I've never seen a fake
with the Lego logo on it, not even pictured.

This is the first time this has happened to me in a lot of orders on here.

I received used Lepin or other off-brand pieces. One stud on each piece is indented

I have an order and following a little issue, seller have issued a refund through
BL.
On the order page, there is a refund frame with the amount.
But, as I've paid using paypal outside BL, I guess refund cannot be
done but there is no error reported
|
The seller has to issue a refund through PayPal, since it was paid offsite I
don't think there is anything BL can do.
| | seller's account have been debited the
amount and it looks like to have gone into nowhere
|
I doubt the seller's PayPal account has been debited - for offsite payments
BL only records the refund, it doesn't process any refund.

midnight UK time ( 8pm Bricklink time ).
I didn't open it because I thought it might be a hack attempt, but it was
from Bricklink Team and the title was Attention sellers.
I'm wondering if anyone else received a similar email?
|
Yes, and there are many signs that it's authentic:
- it comes from blservice@bricklink.com
- it is authenticated with DKIM, SPF, and DMARC
- it doesn't link to a login page
- it doesn't ask for your password
I've never heard of a computer's being hacked simply from opening an
email. It's opening attachments, clicking on links, etc. that can cause issues.

They don't sound real. Are you being asked to provide login information?
If so then you know they're fake.

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?
