I was using the immediate payment feature and when the Paypal dialog came up,
it showed an old address (one I haven't used in 10 years) as the default
shipping address. When I clicked on the drop-down, it offered up around 20 different
addresses; a few old ones, many more malformed or mixed-up addresses. I picked
the right one that matched my Bricklink address, my current listed Paypal address,
and the address of the credit card I'd be paying with. Yet when I check the
transactions in Paypal, it still sent the old address that it decided was the
'default' anyway.
I don't know if Bricklink has any control over that part of the form, or
if it was all down to Paypal, but it seems the address Paypal supply for the
transaction is not to be trusted.

we never ship out to the paypal listed address unless it by chance matches the
address the buyer supplied on the actual order..
... if you have over 20 addresses available for you on Paypal in a Drop Down
Menu, you need to call paypal and sort that out sooner than later. you should
only have 1 shipping address that is verified. if you have multiple addresses
listed, you need to delete them or call paypal directly & have them removed.
leaving them on there only opens yourself up to possible hacking or account manipulation.

In France, lost packages end up in a special center (in the town of Libourne),
where they are opened and investigated, and for those that don’t have any info,
the contents are sold at auctions.
(It’s also where the “secrétariat du Père Noël” (Santa Claus’s office) is. That
is, when you send your wish letter to Santa for Xmas, it arrives there and they
answer you.)

A few years back a customer placed a good size order of parts and such, filled

days later the customer contacts us that they had not received it yet and said
that the tracking number only shows that postage was purchased but that was it.
Long story short, come to figure out that I never attached the postage label
to the order. I went to the post office and they said that there was really nothing
they could do because there was no address on the package so it was sent to that
dark place where packages go to die. We always put a secondary label on every
order that we ship that has our store name and the order number on it but back
then, no address. Sense then we have included our address on the label for those
"just in case" moments.

I once swapped two, almost identical, orders before shipping. The one that was
supposed to go to Ireland went to Germany, and virsa versa.
Luckily both buyers were cool about it, and returned the orders back to me without
issues at my cost. In the end they both received the correct order with a big
discount for the trouble.
Now I only print shipping labels to one order at the time

This seems small but I once had
in my inventory instead of what my buyer ordered, which was
My theory is that I got the two mixed up for a previous customer who didn't
complain, but I'm not entirely sure. So I buy 2 copies of a set with the
latter part in them so I can send to the buyer, thinking I'll part the rest
of the parts out and just put them in my store.
That works fine but I then get another order including
here I had parted out those sets but forgot to exclude the parts that I had already
removed! So I actually wound up buying 2 more of that set to fulfill the 2nd
order. I console myself thinking that I might never have gotten that 2nd order
(which was sizeable - more than those 4 sets that I bought) without accidentally
listing those parts.

With a description like that I imagine it is used but listed as sealed in error.
If priced as used, someone snaps it up believing it is sealed as listed that
way. Then the trouble starts when they receive an opened set.

Use Studio. Import the set (i.e. the parts of the set) and built the racecar
digitally, following the 76909 instructions you downloaded from LEGO.com.
Then you can experiment with different colors while simultaneously seeing availability
and trying out alternative parts wherever necessary.
The final result can be uploaded as a wanted list on Bricklink.

There might be an easier way I'm not aware of, but when I do something like
this I start with parting out the set in BrickStore and then go through the instructions
for the pace car and delete pieces as i go. https://www.lego.com/cdn/product-assets/product.bi.core.pdf/6409872.pdf

I checked mine, this one does have the Lego logo in the corner studs (not in
the center one). The undersides of those studs say "30", "614",
" C)", and "2.01".
Funny, I've never noticed a part nr. being split up like that.

Given the age (it hasn't been produced for 20 years), it is less likely to
be a fake part as most of the fake sets copy relatively modern sets. I don't
thin I have ever seen fakes of those older sets this was in but have seen plenty
of fakes of the more modern HP sets.

Yeah, if it really is cracks in arms and not seam lines then some photos would
help although if the seller did not spot them when sending out, chances are photos
will not help or they have been switched by the buyer. Luckily arms on older
figures tended to be plain so easy to replace unless it is a rare colour. Whereas
a crack on a torso is more problematic.
If the seller is sure the buyer is trying it on, stoplist is the way to go to
avoid the buyer in future. And as you say replacing the arms is the cheapest
option (although they might then claim the torsos cracked when replacing the
arms), or get the buyer to return them for a refund and replace them yourself.

+1 on this theory.
OP, how do you pack your minifigs and how did you pack this order with so many?
Usually when I have more than 4 I put them all in their own bags, and each one
has a sheet of cardboard between the two so that they lay against each other
at an angle, and then I tape all of them inside sheets of cardboard to prevent
any damage.

Were these modern or classic minifigs?

| It is possible the buyer is mistaking mold seams for cracks. When do you check
them, at the time of listing or sending?
If they are plain arms then have them shipped back, then replace the arms if
the value of the figures make it worthwhile.

| First off a "Non-Shipping Seller Alert" will be removed by BL. If he
has them, and says they are cracked, you obviously shipped them. As long as
you attempt to solve the problem, it will be removed. Even if they give negative
feedback, your attempt to solve the problem will show BL that it is not accurate.
I doubt that the figs were damaged in the mail. I am human and have missed a
crack myself. I had two orders where a crack was discovered, so I had two sets
of eyes looking at all my minifigs for a while. We did not find any for over
a year, so I went back to checking when I put them in inventory and when I sell
them.
For me, I would offer to send him a shipping label to send the damaged ones back.
Instruct them to take it to the counter at the PO and have the teller scan it.
Once the post office has scanned it he will not be liable for the package if
it is missing. By sending him the label you have accurate tracking info. Once
I had them I would refund the money. This will be zero cost for him and zero
profit if he plans on re-selling them. The label will likely cost you much less
than flat-out refunding him. Most likely they will just say forget it.
Above all else. Keep your side of the communication on the order (contact buyer
link on order page). Never take the conversation into emails or texts. Keep
it professional and kind. Have responses like "It has been a week since
I sent you the label to return the Minifigures. In order to refund you I will
need them back. If I don't hear anything from you by (date), I will assume
you are happy with them and will be keeping them." Provide deadlines and
reminders of deadlines. If they don't cooperate, BL will easily be able
to review your claim by seeing all the communication in one spot. I have even
copied emails sent by customers and put them in the order thread. You might
also want to watch their store to see if your figures pop up for sale. Then
you can add things to the conversation such as "I see you posted (figure)
for sale on your site, is that the same figure you are requesting a refund on?
Remember, if you send that back to me I am more than willing to refund the figure."
Once the date YOU set passes and they have not sent it back yet, contact BL to
fix any alerts and prevent them from providing feedback.
I wish you all the luck. Just remember to be kind but don't give in.

Did he send you any pictures of the box you shipped it in? It sounds like it
was damaged somehow, if he is telling the truth he should have provided pictures
of the box.
If you try to claim that he's lying and has deliberately broken the minifigs
that would be a long and costly battle for no real return, and you face the possibility
of having to have a retaliatory feedback from him removed.
Did you take photos of the minifigs in their packaging before you shipped them?
Something is definitely not right. If the buyer is not at fault, it means something
happened during transit.
If he won't or can't supply box photos I would recommend you refund and
stoplist him to prevent further issues.
Cheers ...

| Indeed, I agree. It's like being asked to "read and agree to the terms
and conditions" when you download a piece of software. No one does, because
the terms are often very long and written in legal language few can read. But
by clicking "I have read and agree to the terms and conditions" you are
still bound by them even if you never actually read them.
The main difference here is that big software companies have lawyers who can
enforce their products' terms, while BrickLink sellers generally do not.
So it's BrickLink (which runs the site) and PayPal (which provides the payment
infrastructure) whose terms of service really matter.
And as you point out, store terms are often written in (sometimes bad) English,
which further weakens their validity in jurisdictions where the terms must be
in the language of the customer. At least PayPal has translated theirs into other
languages.

What means "Agree and Continue" in Swahili?
What does this "bla bla" in Terms mean in Sweden?
Here anyway in EU, and for a private customer, you can't legally be bound
by something not written in your language (of course!)
But all in all, it's not the point.
I've scientific stats for you: 99.99% of buyers don't read ANYTHING,
including the shiping method "Please give us your Relay Point / Phone number
/ We can't deliver to PO pox", including/excluding anything, nothing,
or everything.
I was afraid of double negation.
In short, no, they read zilch, nada.
PS: and I do the same when I buy - I mean, I read but VERY quickly.

Sorry that you are faced with this frustrating situation!
I don't have experience on how Paypal would rule regarding item conditions,
but accepting a return with a refund is a fairly standard for online sales especially
if the buyer is paying return postage.

Yes it actually does fit that last one! I've seen that combo before, but
I don't remember where. Whether it was in an official set or not, Stud.io
treats that connection like any other joint, so I would say it's perfectly
"legal"

Make sure you are trying to add it for the correct category and it’s the correct

I paid via Paypal. As the invoice was sent to me around 1am, I paid it when I
woke up that morning at 6. Thankfully the refund came through, so in the end,
I was able to be reimbursed, but the whole situation I feel was way more complicated
and ugly than it had to be. I honestly would have been happy paying for the incorrect
pieces, but really did need the pieces I originally ordered. When I mailed the
original pieces back, and the correct pieces were still not sent is when I started
to feel slighted.

| Sorry that this happened to you! It looks like you'd done your best to work
with what turned out to be a dishonest seller. If this had been my experience,
I would have cut my losses and run after:
| | * Seller asked if I was keeping the 2 original doors.

Everything leading up to that moment was understandable and everything after
was unreasonable. With a seller like this, the best you can hope for is a refund
for the cost of the missing items. If you had filed a NSS, that's all the
seller must do to get out of the penalty.
Also, the reason listed for the cancellation does not matter so don't worry
about that. When they cancel, a seller chooses from a list of very arbitrary
reasons in a drop-down menu that have no effect whatsoever on the cancellation.
Your only option at this point is to leave appropriate negative feedback and
be prepared to take the hit in return. Keep your feedback and your response to
their feedback professional and factual. No one is going to hold retaliatory
feedback against you. The only hope for penalizing sellers like this is to pile
on the negatives.
Good luck!

| How can we make this s feature request / change requests for BrickLink?
Because when reading https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=102 is says:
[Quote]
Used Sets - The set has been opened, inner bags are no longer intact and
or was previously built. If the parts do show excessive wear, discoloration,
excessive scratches, other marks, etc. this should be noted, as well.
Complete - Set contains all parts necessary to build all of the models
(including alternate models) in the instructions but does not have to contain
the original box/packaging and/or extra parts. If the set is missing instructions,
the description must state so. If the set did not come with instructions then
the set should include all parts listed in the picture inventory which is located
on the box or bucket. The set must include all original stickers used on the
model either still on the sticker sheet or applied.
[/Quote]
So it would be great if we can check/uncheck that it should be counted as "same
volume as parted out set" vs "same volume as original box".

| | I'm selling my old used sets, without box, with instructions.
The sets are marked as used condition and complete.
So there is no original LEGO box.
When a buyer adds a set that can easily be fit into an envelope, BrickLink still
assumes the size of the original box as shipping size. As a result it automatically
over estimates the real shipping costs and assumes a package.
As a result people won't buy or are paying more for shipping then real costs,
which is illegal in our country.
How can I fix this? How can I let BrickLink handle the used sets without box
as having the same volume as the lose parts? So having the same shipping costs
and volume as if people would add all parts separately to the shopping chart?
Thank you,

You will have to manually change each weight in order for it to calculate the
correct shipping costs. This has been discussed on the forum before but I could
not find the post.

Go into your cart. Choose and view an order. At the bottom on the left side is
a garbage can. Click it and it will empty your cart.

| Stoplisting a member does in fact block messages from them through the normal
BrickLink contact feature, and it has been this way for some time. However, they
can still send messages via the blue contact button on your store page.

I thought being on someone's stop list only prevented you from buying something
from that member's shop. I just looked up stop lists in the Help center,
and it doesn't mention anything about blocking messages from someone who
is stop listed. Maybe Bricklink worked that function in without telling us?

Ich bin nicht sicher wo Du klickst - wenn Du im Katalog das Set aufrufst, findest
Du rechts neben dem Bild einen Punkt "Add to my Store Inventory" (bin
nicht sicher wie's auf deutsch heisst, sorry!). Da drauf musst Du klicken,
dann kommt eine Seite, in der Du alle Infos eingeben kannst - Verkaufspreis,
Anzahl auf Lager, Zustand ...
Dann ganz unten auf "Review Item" und bestaetigen, und es sollte in Deinem
Shop drin sein.
Auf die Dauer wird dann eine Inventar-Verwaltungs-Software wie Brickstock interessant,
damit geht's einfach schneller, aber fuer den Anfang sollte die Methode mit
jedem Set oder Teil im Katalog klappen.
Alles Gute mit Deinem Shop!
