shipped minifigs with the wrong colored parts. I've lost a total of $65
over these two orders - both of which were gifts for my son. There's no
buyer support and no protection from scammers. This last guy had 12 complaints
in the last year for the same issues and Bricklink is doing NOTHING about it.
The guy is a jerk and I'm out the money. Anyone else having this trouble?

It's an abnormal/problematic shop.

Open NSS Alert.
Open PayPal Claim.

Scary mindset. It's one thing that you champion such for you and yours, but
to advocate it more broadly is worrisome to those that are not of that somewhat
troublesome mindset. Evidenced by the (satirical) Starship Troopers movie
you invoke, meaning of which has apparently failed to permeate It's meant
to show the absurdity of that statement, iow.

| | Dear BrickLink sellers in the United States,
We have removed these outdated API-based shipping methods:
• Domestic USPS First-Class Packages (retail),
• Domestic USPS First-Class Packages (commercial).
Starting from today, you will be seeing the following shipping methods in your
Store Settings instead:
• USPS Ground Advantage (commercial),
• USPS Ground Advantage (retail),
• USPS Priority Mail (commercial),
• USPS Priority Mail (retail).
As usual, you can access the new USPS rates for Courier API methods upon selecting
each method in the Rate Chart.
Thank you,
The BrickLink Team

Makes sense, though maybe sign-off as "Your BrickLink Team"
A matter of perspective, still

If there's anything in our store your son would appreciate, let me know...
I'll do what I can with the price, for you both.

If you're forming your opinion from experiences on other popular e-commerce
sites: BrickLink is not as punitive, nor is it irrationally reactive as the third
party to it's vendors transactions, as some other well-known sites. Thankfully
|
Just to expand on my last comment as I need to stop thinking that it's clear
to others, my unexpressed thoughts BL's position is why it's here
on BL, buyers will find the worthwhile LEGO offers. As it's here the quality
vendor and their wares, eventually settle, given the selling environment.

I completely forgot, but apparently it's been 20 years for me as well! 
Suddenly I feel old ...

How is it you're feeling old gleefully holding a toy in your Collage pic?
Don't bother with the "feeling old" sentiment, stay young at heart

| | Thank you Bricklink for without this marketplace I would not have had a viable
business model that has worked for 20 years.

I'm sure you would've come up with something, competent and gifted as
you are.
| | Thank you to the countless stores across the world that have provided me with
excellent service!
Thank you to the Community (both in chat & forum) for all the questions answered,
the laughs, the Pizza & Mustard wars, the long debates, the catalog adds & changes,
and a place to go to feel included.

Except for the inclusion of the silly and relatively recent "Pizza & Mustard
wars" mention, very nicely put

Would be ecstatic to accept another 5 years of prognostication

| | Hi all!
Is there a way to keep my selling/orders page on 'classic layout'. It
keeps reverting to the new layout and that does not fit on my screen  thanks!
|
Have you tried:
Logging out - clear browsing history - quit browser, reopen browser - logging
back into BL selecting minimally "Preference cookies" - selecting classic
view within either order summary pages.
Works for me using Chrome

Very honorable of you I mean, who among us do not appreciate our patrons...
That's a given But the subject line is a bit narrower for the added fun
