BL has ignored stuff like this before because it’s not worth the hassle.
But if you want to keep item numbers just add them as alternates.

On closer inspection it is more than that. We don't have pictures of them
in box, but these listings are actually for Gear Sets. Those numbers are not
part numbers. They are product IDs.

Some sets can have alternate IDs too:
There are many gear items that only change in color and have different entries,
if the ID is saved as an alternate then we don't loose anything.

That is only valid when one hasn’t yet checked out. And you can’t click on “check
out” if the prices/available quantities have changed.
So, if OP has already checked out, as they seem to say, they can’t update the
cart anymore because the items have been reserved at the prices in the cart and
the prices can’t change.
(If the seller changed the prices after the click, it’s too late. Too bad for
the seller if it’s an increase, too bad for the buyer if it was a decrease.)
So it’s a bug somewhere else, in the shipping calculation or in the taxes one.☝️
|
That isn’t the issue. I deleted the cart, added the items and then immediately
clicked “proceed to checkout”, got the same issue that it returned to store home
page …..

Can you screenshot the whole cart page?

It used to be that lego.com PAB orders were not returnable. They have changed
their rules so that they are now returnable so long as the whole PAB order is
returned. So if LEGO have relented on their 'no PAB returns' line, presumably
there is some legal reason behind it.
|
The 'goods made to order' exemption used to be stated on LEGO's website
for Pick a Brick. I'd be highly surprised if it wasn't removed due to
a challenge on right to withdraw.
It's worth noting that right to withdraw only applies to consumers. So if
a seller buys from another seller, distance selling regulations don't apply
in the same way.

Or they just eat the cost of them as returns request could be very very low,

Rather not, Milissa.
There are fairly common scenarios in which a seller might consider setting a
sent order status to “Completed” Just a few…
1) Buyer leaves positive feedback, but doesn’t change the order status from “Shipped”
|
Just file it.
| | 2) Buyer messages seller, thanking and/or offering praise of service or product
without changing the status.
|
Just file it.
| | 3) Buyer and seller are in communication over an order issue, which concludes
with the buyer expressing to the seller, their complete satisfaction with the
transaction. Here, the seller might not wish to task the already tasked buyer
further, by asking them to change the status and rather takes care it themself.
|
Just file it.
| |
There are a good many LEGO fans that simply don’t know, don’t care, or don’t
care to know about order status 'duties’ and just wanna buy LEGO, that’s
it. Which is fine. The changing of order status by the seller simply helps a
vendor clean things up a bit, to stay organized. I does for me anyway.
|
The only order duty a buyer has is to pay. After that is the seller shipping
it and nothing else, as a commerce platform there is no further need to
do anything else.
| |
But just an opinion based on my experience as a BL vendor, and very obviously
not that some other sellers.

That threshold is for intra-EU sales excluding domestic. So all of EU but Spain.

The domestic VAT threshold can go from €0 to €90,800. AFAICT, Spain’s threshold
is €0. So every professional should get a VAT number in Spain.

I notice you still have these item listed in your store with similar high quantities
but slightly different prices so I'm thinking it could be that Bricklink
doesn't like you duplicating such high quantity listings possibly for two
reasons:-
A) If you search for those items by highest quantity you would appear multiple
times at the very top thereby it could be deemed as listing manipulation and
at the detriment to other sellers who also have high quantities of these parts
but end up pushed further down the list
B) Just one of those listings has enough quantity in itself before anyone would
ever need to purchase from your other duplicate listings and therefore Bricklink
may be deeming this listing practice as unnecessary and clogging up the catalog
I have a feeling it may be different if you were listing duplicate times for
much smaller quantities with these varying prices as these will sell out within
a much more reasonable timeframe and have more purpose
I could be wrong but those are the reasons I take from it....

I think what happened here is retaliation from another store in Spain that had

New left shell has part number 5830.
What was the point of introducing a new mold for a perfectly fine part?

As far as I know, the old version should be cheaper to produce. It has thinner
walls, with the "supports" being there to increase the thickness where
necessary in order to still make contact with studs.
I find it strange that they made a separate ID for this change though; although
they did introduce 3556, basically 3001 with thick walls and no middle supports...
which I guess is also identical to an older edition of 3001 :/ Different times,
different qualifiers for what's a new mold?
As a general trend, they also seem to have moved a lot of parts from 5-digit
IDs to 4-digit recently without any significant changes?
|
I think it is related to the new material they are using to produce the parts
recently.

The description for this part says that it can have either a blocked open stud

This can be a problem if a buyer needs one version, but receives the other. Please

3688b - Slope 75 2 x 2 x 2 Quadruple Convex with Hollow Stud

Hi there! Are you running a string through the stud? That is the only way the
variant could matter for what you are building

This is what I am using the slope for. It's the fighter plane MOC I mentioned

I don't know if the Bionicle Barraki Eye will properly fit in the tip of
the slope if it isn't a hollow stud.

Both versions of the part are a Hollow Stud, just that in one the bottom is a
bar from side to side and in the other the bottom is all uniformly plain.

There are 2 tabs on that page, one is for uploading those files listed and the

what could be the reason?

If you are searching starting in the color guide page the bottom head will not
appear because it needs to be in an inventory with an assigned color to be shown
there.
https://www.bricklink.com/catalogColors.asp
I think this is one of the reasons of the merge of heads, they will create new
minifigure entries for the ones that came in both solid stud and hollow, so all
are linked.

| | I just had someone buy all of a particular part in my store. (It was 1000+ quantity.)
I still had hundreds that I had not put in my store yet. I thought that he
might want to buy more if I had them, so I asked, and he said yes.
I counted them out and added them to my store reserved for that member. I don't
add lots reserved for someone very often, but if memory serves me correctly,
reserving a lot for a member does 2 things:
1. It, of course, reserves the lot for just that one member so that no one else
can buy it. (I think it makes it so that other members can't even see the
lot when shopping my store. Is that right?)
2. It sends that member an email notification that the lot was added and reserved
for them.
After I added the reserved lot, on the My Bricklink page, the link that says
"1 Lot in my store inventory not yet notified" showed up. In theory
sending out a notification should only email the member who I reserved the lot
for, but also in theory he already received a notification when I added the lot
to my store.
Is the ability to send out a notification for a reserved lot sort of a function
that's effectively doubled in the system?

The send notifications page only works if the user has it in a WL and notifications
enabled for that item. Else it will return it was sent to 0 users.
As far as I know you don't get any email or message, what you get is a icon
on My BL page that links to the items in the store reserved. You can check how
it is displayed by reserving a lot for your username.

For as long as alternate IDs are in the database.
The site can be smart and recognize them when it reads them in older files.
Yes, the field (as we see it on the part pages) is simple text and would need
to be normalized (and reversed: alt ID » correct ID/part, for now it’s part »
alt ID).
But the site already knows how to convert from LDraw and LXF files. So there’s
already a conversion table (or two) somewhere to convert LDraw’s IDs and LDD’s
IDs to BL’s IDs.
And while they are at it, add XML as a full-citizen file format, like LDR, LXF,
BSX: one that can be uploaded as a file, not copy-pasted.

Both PayPal and Stripe allow you to pay with a card, but that only works if the

Rebrickable is correct. Part 48723 is no longer in production and has been replaced
with 68888 and 3803. 48723 has an axle hole on one side and a pin hole on the
other side. Most sets require the axle hole, so 68888 can be used as an alternate
part. But in set 71043 the pin hole is needed, therefore later copies of that
set probably come with 3803. Maybe that is already the case, but we need proof
from a sealed set before we can add the alternate part.

It is available in PaB since 18/01/23 so it could be that was designed for a
