Hello everyone. On 15th of March i ordered some lego pieces together with a set
from a seller. He said that my order should arrive in 2-4 days. The track ID
was not provided and he informed me about it at the start. Once the 4 days passed,
my package didn’t arrive, and the seller told me to be patient. One month has
passed and no sound of the package. Did I get scammed?? I’m very furious and
the seller says that he can’t help me from then on. What the hell am I supposed
to do?He said that there is no receipt whatsoever because there was no track
ID in the first place.

Open an NSS (Non-Shipping Seller) and, if you paid via PayPal, start a PayPal
case.

I think it's unlikely that you actually got scammed, but the seller is still
responsible for the package getting to the buyer.

I clearly sense a dropshipping case here.

Is it allowed on bricklink?

I believe it's allowed, one wishes that buyers would be a bit more honest
though.

But a nothing says a dropshipper couldn't order from bricklink. Besides there
are tons of different reasons to ship to a different address: a gift, item you
were short on, completing a transaction, trades how and shipping to hotel, business
partner, relative that doesn't like the internet, friend that doesn't
want the hassle to setup a bl account.

Yes, to be clear a BrickLink seller can't dropship since BL sellers can only
list what they actually have in inventory (maybe an exception can be made for
inventory mistakes, etc.). But there isn't anything stopping people from
listing on e.g., eBay, and then dropshipping from BL.

I don't care where I send the item and I don't care if a dropshipper
orders from me. I just think it's lame when they dissemble and claim they're
sending a gift.

I checked out, the final checkout screen had Batch 1 and Batch 2 on it. Even

an invoice that included shipping and a credit for the amount of money I paid
on the first order minus the state taxes. I cannot pay for the order. The seller
has contacted the Help Desk to find a solution.
I would like to think that all he has to do is refund the money I paid, mark
the order as ready or packed and then he could send a new invoice similar to
how a store would manage an order that paid with an offsite payment where taxes
could not be remitted to Bricklink?

It sounds to me like the seller somehow marked the original order as Not Paid
since a Paid order would not be batched with a 2nd order.

When clicking Buy All on a Wanted List and then clicking Auto-Select, only third-party

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.

When I opened my store shipping was a weight scale, starting at $3.00 but hat

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

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

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

Nope. It's Used.

Personally, I think fees for buying *more* are a bit odd, but the supermarket

I cannot think of a single situation where a buyer would leave feedback if they

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.

TIA

If you leave bad feedback, then chances are a seller like this one will leave
retaliatory negative feedback. This is not ordinarily a huge issue for a buyer
but because you have zero feedback a negative will leave you will a negative
total, and many sellers don't like to sell to buyers with negative totals.

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.

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

Hi,

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.

Yes, and there are many signs that it's authentic:

A rewrite of the guidelines on this, is called for.

But as it stands within the TOS, assembled minifigures can be listed as New.
Why for years, we've added the listing note "New, never assembled"
to our minifig listings. Which it seems, many others are now emulating. Simply
put: as building toys, once built they imho, are no longer new.

But this is a long disputed selling point, which has two distinct mindsets. I've
long ago withdrawn from trying to make the distinction for others, and have as
I said; moved to adding notes to our minifigure listings here on BL.

The whole matter remains convoluted, iow.

I think the issue is that some minifigures come fully or partially assembled
out of the box (or e.g. book), and BL probably doesn't have/doesn't want
to take the time to add a flag to each minifigure indicating whether it was assembled
or not from the factory. So all minifigures are allowed to be sold assembled
(even if they come unassembled) or unassembled (even if they come assembled!).

If the mistakes are only a few cents worth of items then I don't bother.
Doesn't have much to do with the number of lots - I don't tend to order
larger quantities, but I've definitely fulfilled such orders!

In this case, I probably will not say anything, because only 2 of 60 lots are
missing, they are not minifigures, and because I can get them from Lego.com for
$4 total. However, the decision is still annoying because one of the lots is
for right wedges to match left wedges that did get included.

A $4 error is worth a complaint. If I were the seller I would want to know about
a mistake like that.

Hi all,

I recently bought 2 Futuron Monorail sets (6990). The trans blue antennas are
of a different color blue. See image. The ones on the left have the same color
blue as the other trans dark blue colors in the set, so I assume that the 'light
blue' antennas on the right do not belong to this set.

If I look in the catalogue however, it appears that trans light blue is not a
known color for round top antennas, there is one for sale though, for a huge
amount of money...

There is one set with trans medium blue antennas (4748), but the bricklink picture
of that color is darker than my antennas.

The antennae in your picture definitely appear to be trans-medium blue. The BL
picture (I guess it's actually a render) of the trans-medium blue antenna
looks darker than it ought to be.

One way to tell for sure would be to put the ones you have under a blacklight
- IIRC, trans-medium blue fluoresces.

they buy the shipping label. If they do those 2 things (just like they have to
do to many other countries) you won’t get double charged (aside from rare accidents)

I doubt BrickLink ever touches the money, I think whatever 3rd party vendor they
use collects it and remits it. Still, that doesn't change that BL is probably
responsible for refunding if VAT is charged 2x. I say "probably" as I
don't know if there's anything specific to Norway as opposed to EU.

Just found this on a minifigure. It’s about the size of a thumbtack, and it’s
perfectly centered. It doesn’t go all the way through. What do you guys think
caused it?

Sometimes a bit more plastic comes off when a piece is removed from the sprue.

Hi all, I am new here but a friend suggested this to me. I recently used Mecabrick
to create an idea and I am now wondering if I can upload a file somewhere to
identify and possibly order the pieces I need for it. I would love to buy them
here and maybe create an instuction manual for the set. I have a .stl file or
a .dae file. Does anyone have experience with this? Thank you.

Someone else posted about this in the forum not that long ago, maybe this will
be helpful for you:

Does anyone know what platform Bricklink uses for their e-commerce platform?

More specifically, I use goshippo.com and I am trying to connect my store to
goshippo so I don't have to do everything manually. I can't seem to find
bricklink on their list of platforms/websites.

Help?

BrinkLink is all-custom
