| 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.

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 would like to think that all he has to do is refund the money I paid, mark

Why is LEGO's PaB website not included among the stores on BL?

You can't eliminate VAT - it will be collected either by BrickLink (if the

On other platforms like ebay there is no Completed status because feedback alone

I've definitely had buyers leave feedback before they even received their

I imagine the order isn't complete until the buyer has received it (I don't

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.

The seller has to issue a refund through PayPal, since it was paid offsite I

The IOSS number should be on the VAT receipt generated by BrickLink.
You'll need to use a service like Pirate Ship to send the IOSS number electronically

| 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!).

There is one set with trans medium blue antennas (4748), but the bricklink picture

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

One way to tell for sure would be to put the ones you have under a blacklight

Do you mean, identify as in tell they're not Lego, or identify as in figure

I think it's interesting that in Europe, patches are more akin to what we
would consider "tags" here in the USA. In the USA patches typically have
stitched borders and often have plastic backing.

No, the seller never touches the tax money, during the payment it gets sent to
bricklink right away.
All the seller needs to do is print out the tax receipt on the order and put
it on the package and digitally include the tax number bricklink providers when
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.

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

| 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?

You need to add an onsite payment method (PayPal or Stripe) so that BrickLink
can collect the sales tax they're required to by law.
