In Suggestions, ej76az writes:
  When clicking Buy All on a Wanted List and then clicking Auto-Select, only third-party
stores are listed. The price of a part is often (but not always) cheaper from
LEGO's PaB website than from any third-party store. Also, PaB shipping is
free if the order is at least $35, whereas shipping costs can really add up when
buying from third-party stores. LEGO has owned BL for almost half a decade.
Why is LEGO's PaB website not included among the stores on BL?

(I tried to search for this suggestion in the Forum but didn't find anything)

In my experience, it's rare that PaB is actually cheaper - if it were I'd
definitely be buying parts there and selling them here.

  You still have First Class listed as a shipping option, and also have it set
as the default.

I think it's the default because it's the least expensive for the buyer.

  When I opened my store shipping was a weight scale, starting at $3.00 but hat
really only covers First Class postage, which can't be tracked. One package
sent First Class still hasn't arrived to the sller, after 2 weeks.

First Class parcels could be tracked (First Class was replaced by Ground Advantage).
You definitely shouldn't be sending anything as First Class letter mail now.

  I changed my shipping options to 2 methods that provide tracking information
- Ground Advantage for $5.95 and Priority which is $9.85.

Problem is buyers are still paying the $3.00 so every shipment I eat a min. of
$2.95. I'm sure it's something I haven't done, don't know how
to do, etc.

It looks like your First Class option is still active - you can't delete
it until all the orders you sent out with it are completed, cancelled, or purged;
but you can disable it.

By the way, please sign up for Pirate Ship so you can avail yourself of commercial
rates for postage. Ground Advantage starts at $3.79 for the commercial rate,
I believe.

Same here. You get, what is it, about 6 weeks to pay it so there really shouldn't
be any excuse to missing it. Especially if going away, paying it before leaving
is sensible. You don't have to remember once you are back.

One feature that might be helpful here is the ability to pre-pay fees.

  Please add 193b2 as alternate item. I can’t do that from my side :/

Minifigures can't have alternates.

Also, while I've never seen a white helmet without dimples that doesn't
mean it doesn't exist. Used to have some yellow ones.

In Buying, sasquatch_eater writes:
  There was a particular item I was uncertain whether I had actually bought or
not recently and I went to check my orders (I new who I would have bought it
from if I did buy it) to see if I could find it. I was looking through my feedback
and found the feedback left by the person I would have bought it from but the
order was no longer accessible. I copied the order number but what I want to
know is is there any way to view the order?

Thanks!

Best bet is to check your email

  Hi,

I sell items from Vietnam. Some orders sold to Germany
automatically added VAT.
How can I eliminate the VAT since it is
International sales?

Thank you!

You can't eliminate VAT - it will be collected either by BrickLink (if the
order is under 150 euro) or by customs in the buyer's country (if the order
is 150 euro or more).

I noticed that you opened up international shipping - but you don't have
any payment methods for international buyers.

  HI there I'm thinking selling on this website. I wanted to ask a few questions
about it however.

#1 I have "Complete" sets, but there're original bricks are scattered
in my LEGO box. is it right/uncouth to sell something as "complete" if
I put the sets back together again from my vast lego box?

Yes, but you have to note in your listing if you don't have the box and/or
instructions.

  #2 Is a mini figure still "new" if it has been gently taken care of in
a box of other minis, and never been played with and still shinny and unscratched?

Nope. It's Used.

Maybe the bottom of these old wheel bricks:

Amazing. I'm very familiar with this part but I wouldn't have recognized
that.

There is no known maximum.
Apart if assorted with NPBs - as we all know.

I get the impression some sellers leave "NPB" as feedback but without
actually filing one.

It's at the bottom of the "Orders Placed" page

  So my customer wanted a full refund for the box not being in pristine condition.
Eventually I agreed to a refund and the weight is about 200 grams more than the
advertised weight of the item, tantive 4, which is supposed to weigh 2.4 kg.
Mine weighs 2.6 kg. Wondering if they took out the minifigs and added counterweights
or something? Seals look fine to me.

Was it heavier than what you sent?

50 Parts, 3 Minifigures, 1976

that I had at some point because I remember some firemen that had no arms, and
this seems to be the set that would fit that bill.

Thanks very much for the help.

One, because two come with a turkey assembly

  Everyone has a first LEGO set. weather it is a DUPLO train or a handmedown from
your older brother, every one has a memory of his or her first set. First LEGO
set was the 30013-1 Police Quad as a birthday present. I loved taking it apart
and putting it back together again and chasing invisible villains and bringing
them to justice! Then one day our dog got a hold of the police man and chewed
his head off.... Post your first LEGO set below!

90% certain it was

 
Set No: 483  Name: Alpha-1 Rocket Base
* 
483-1 (Inv) Alpha-1 Rocket Base
163 Parts, 3 Minifigures, 1979
Sets: Space: Classic Space

but it might have been

 
Set No: 452  Name: Mobile Ground Tracking Station
* 
452-1 (Inv) Mobile Ground Tracking Station
65 Parts, 1 Minifigure, 1979
Sets: Space: Classic Space

I know I had other Lego before this but I'm not certain any were actually
mine.

  The next time you go to the supermarket or big box store, make sure you pay an
extra fee based on how many items you bought. Why is it ALWAYS the UK/EU stores
that whine and moan about servicing their customers?

There are plenty of non-European stores with fees for this and that.

Personally, I think fees for buying *more* are a bit odd, but the supermarket
analogy isn't accurate since the customer is typically walking around the
store putting the items into his or her own cart. I guess a service like Instacart
would be the closer analogy.
