  A warning to sellers not to just blindly trust the shipping address supplied

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.

@Russell, if you or somebody is looking into it, the search suggestions seem

Hi, yes I have the same problem, it was good a couple of hours ago.
Must be a Bricklink system problem.

I wonder what they do with all those packages? I bet there are some great (and
not so great) finds in those piles.

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.)

  My biggest BIGGEST oops, well actually more like a "what were you thinking
you idiot" kink of moment...

A few years back a customer placed a good size order of parts and such, filled
it and then dropped it off at the post office and everything seemed fine. Several
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.

  What was your biggest Bricklink OOPS as a buyer or seller?

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

Nice

  
I have been quite dreary for weeks since my depression is on overdrive and it
is hard to get motivated to do much.

I hope you have help and are on medicine?
If not get both.

   But, I tell my self, I got my customer's
money, I owe them their order. It helps to blow the dark clouds away for a while.

Yes, having a job to do helps, but it still takes strength to put yourself to
it.
Go for a daily walk, I did a one hour walk, daily, had to push myself out the
front door

   I guess I need to pay more attention when I am feeling like this.

Yup, your brain doesn’t function right, I am surprised it doesn’t happen more
often….

  
But, it all worked out in the end, which is nice.

What was your biggest Bricklink OOPS as a buyer or seller?

I sold an opened set without checking the content, it looked okay

Good luck, if you need someone to talk to, contact me.

How would you feel if your order that was supposed to be shipped to Montreal
goes to Peru and vice versa?

I once put a bag of parts in my pocket, forgot about it, then (politely but condescendingly)
accused a seller of not shipping them. Feels bad man.

This seems small but I once had

 
Part No: 22885  Name: Brick, Modified 1 x 2 x 1 2/3 with Studs on Side
* 
22885 Brick, Modified 1 x 2 x 1 2/3 with Studs on Side
Parts: Brick, Modified {Black}

in my inventory instead of what my buyer ordered, which was

 
Part No: 67329  Name: Brick, Modified 1 x 2 x 1 2/3 with Studs on Side and Ends
* 
67329 Brick, Modified 1 x 2 x 1 2/3 with Studs on Side and Ends
Parts: Brick, Modified {Black}

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

 
Part No: 67329  Name: Brick, Modified 1 x 2 x 1 2/3 with Studs on Side and Ends
* 
67329 Brick, Modified 1 x 2 x 1 2/3 with Studs on Side and Ends
Parts: Brick, Modified {Black}

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.

Has anyone else come across this before?

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.

I wouldn't doubt it. It's amazing how quickly something sells (or it's
price goes up) when you reach out to someone about a specific set.

If the box seals are broken but everything is there it should be listed as New
Complete. The only info needed for a New Sealed listing is the box condition.

  Hello. I think you know the lego set with the Mercedes F1 car and the Mercedes
Saftey car. I want to build the F1 racecar in different colours for my little
F1 collection. The problem is in the build description the piecelist of the two
cars is mixed. I don't know how i should start to find out which pieces i
need. Could anyone please help me

1) Download the 76909 building instructions from lego.com
2) Part out the set on Bricklink in the 'Want' section to a new want
list
3) Remove the parts needed for the 'AMG project one' car from the want
list using the building structions booklet 2
4) When finished you should end up with a want list with all parts needed for
the F1 W12

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.

Saftey car. I want to build the F1 racecar in different colours for my little
F1 collection. The problem is in the build description the piecelist of the two
cars is mixed. I don't know how i should start to find out which pieces i
need. Could anyone please help me


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

1) Download the 76909 building instructions from lego.com
2) Part out the set on Bricklink in the 'Want' section to a new want
list
3) Remove the parts needed for the 'AMG project one' car from the want
list using the building structions booklet 2
4) When finished you should end up with a want list with all parts needed for
the F1 W12

has to be onsite or else you’d be keeping the collected tax which is illegal
if it is going to a place with sales tax then refund the buyer via how they
paid and ask them to pay onsite.
It’s the only way

Also I think those who started selling after 2017 or so can only offer onsite
payment methods in any case, unless they get permission from admin to offer bank
transfers

I keep getting the PayPal API error when I try to pay. Has anyone figured out
exactly why this happens? I am trying to make an international purchase and
the store owner is unsure as to why it is happening also. Can anyone help us
to figure out how to resolve this so that we can make the transaction? Thanks!

On the bottom left and bottom right posts that partly resemble a 1x1 round brick,
I can see some sort of text in their hollow studs.

Can you get a better close-up of the text in these posts on the corners?

Cheers ...

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.

Is there a LEGO logo inside the hollow studs?
I don't have one of these parts, but I would expect a logo there.

Not any sign og Lego ..

This is not fun at all, the pirate copies are getting seriously good 🥵

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.
