  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 understand where you are coming from, but to a certain point there is no need
for going into major detail about one's life or need to share. There's
no need to say "I'm at my parents after dad passed away, my brother and
I are trying to complete a set that has sentimental value." , "it's
a gift" should suffice.

To be clear I'm not asking for anyone to share anything.

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.

  What does this have to do with the honesty of the buyer? The seller can't
care where he sends the item. Unless it causes higher shipping costs or the address
does not match the address stored with PayPal. If payment was made via PayPal.

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.

In Problem Order, pcthurman writes:
  I checked out, the final checkout screen had Batch 1 and Batch 2 on it. Even
though my 1st order had been paid for, both orders were included. He sent me
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
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.

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.

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).

  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.

  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?

  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.

  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

Can someone give me a good reason not to leave bad feedback, is this the seller

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

  Been wondering about these parts for a while now.

Can provide more pictures if needed.
The flag has a sticker on the other side.



The red 2x4 brick is, not sure why you're asking about that one.

  Ideally there would be two types of Complete in the pulldown, one for "Seller
- Complete" and the other "Buyer - Complete".

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

  YES - same for Received. Tracking doesn't mean actually received.

To the best of my knowledge sellers can't set orders to received.

  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).

I think there should be lot of other sets with the same problem. It is not very
helpful for people who want to rebrick those, it they can't access a part
list.

Rebrickable has parts lists for both of these

Right, I wasn't suggesting that individual users could fix it.

  Dear BL-Users

I got an Update on BrickStore and now when I want to download my BL inventory
I get the error message Invalid Device Information.

Does anyone have the same Problem?

What do I need to do?

Thanks for helping.

Best regards

"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.

  Just seen a few clips from the Star Wars holiday special for the first time.

That has to be one of the worst things ever produced, surprised the Star Wars
idea survived after that disaster.

Did anyone see the whole thing before it was pulled ?

I'm dating myself but I saw it on TV in 1978

You can also watch it on YouTube

  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.

  You gotta be kidding me!

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

I ordered what was supposed to be new Lego pieces.

I received used Lepin or other off-brand pieces. One stud on each piece is indented
where the Lego logo would go.

These people should not be allowed to operate on here. Go sell that junk on
fleabay.
