Over a month ago, Bricklink blocked us from their website, because we were taking
statistical data from the store ranking list to put on our personal excel spreadsheets.
We have sent multiple emails to Bricklink, asking to resolve this issue and
we have yet to receive any replies to our requests. Also, our service provider
cannot change our IP address and resetting our router also does not change our
IP. We need this resolved soon. Does anyone know how we can contact Bricklink
by phone, or how we can fix this problem?

I've had reasons to contact BL in the past, and found it near impossible
to contact anyone who actually works for BL. They want you to use the "Community"
resource, good luck. (credit where credits due, the "Community" does
help sometimes, just a bummer to rely on complete strangers for technical BL
help instead of the company, but that's what it is.)

For both items shown, the bulk quantity should be x4

The buyer completed the purchase correctly, but BL screwed up the display for
the bulk of the second item. I have never seen this error before now.

My second BL glitch in 48 hours. The other one was an order item that my records
and my BL emails prove I sold about 6 weeks ago, but appeared in a new order.
I know it's an error listing because the Retain Lots was NOT enabled and
pretty much 100 percent of my inventory items have Retain Lots turned ON.

Wasn't the update just a few nights ago? That is usually the pre-cursor
to this type of problem cropping up.

Already said: do you have recent invxml.txt files downloaded and timestamped
to check and compare?

Or BrickStore files?

If not, it's very possibly an human error, or a inventory sync in between
platforms?

I could verify 2 BrickLink cases where it increased our Inventory of a lot in
almost 5 years. So 2 in 48hrs, sur that can happen, but far more probably something
else.

I see in your inventory you have many items with bulk x4 and x20, could it be
that when listing this item you wanted to put x20 and typed 10 instead?

You can download Brickstore and sort your inventory by the retain column to see
if all items are changed, do you use any other software?

I have been doing a massive switch from one type of storage to another, doing
inventory in the process. I was missing about a fifth to a quarter of my stock.
I never saw anything weird during the great BrickLink hack of 2023. I changed
my password etc. it's bizarre though, entire lots missing, thousands of pieces.

this happens to me too much. Always happens in groups, like they backed up our
inventory from an old database.

Recently, BL sold a torso I never had listed. I thought perhaps I had imputed
it accidentally, apologized to the customer, and made sure I did not have any
more in my inventory. This was some odd/rare torso in a non existent color.

a few days later, bl sells it AGAIN. Same song and dance.

It sold yet a third time.

The orders were not cancelled, just given credit for the "missing" part,
so I have no idea how it kept getting put back in my inventory and selling over
and over when it was never in my inventory to begin with.

I've had this happen about 1-2 times a year but always figured I was at fault
even though it didn't seem that way, after the whole recent fiasco I don't
think its me.

Hi all, I'm not too sure what to make of this.
I just turned my computer on today, opened my browser (chrome with tabs open
including bricklink tabs which I was signed into upon closing my browser) and
I got an email from bricklink (blservice@bricklink.com) with the one time code
thing just wondering if this could be cause for alarm, or I think its more
likely a random occurance or something similar.
I think it was sent due to me opening my browser with bricklink tabs open, or
could it be something to do with BLS manager (I only got it a few days ago to
see if i can use it to download my Brick Owl store orders to Brickstore).
I'm hoping its not a sign of a security issue.

Hi,

The one time code depends on “your machine” and is only valid for a month.
“Your machine” is identified by several supposedly invariable data (I don’t know
what BL is using). If you used another browes, or if the cookies were deleted,
or if the month is out, then you need a new OTC. Updating your OS and/or your
browser may also change the identity of “your machine.”

Some people have deactivated the OTC because they were asked for it too often
(the identifying data isn’t ‘invariable’ enough in their cases).

That fixed it thanks! Weird how that could even occur. I haven't touched
that particular list in a very long time. Thanks for the link!

Cheers

Anyone else having issues with the wanted lists while trying to edit?
I keep getting the error "Only one item/color combination is allowed per

This is happening when I am only trying to add a remark. There are no duplicate

I've noticed that sometimes the prices in NOK are not sorted correctly (price
low high)

In the two screenshots it looks like one shop is pricing in EUR and that price
is converted to NOK and is sorted correctly. The other looks like it's pricing
in NOK, which is converted in EUR and is sorted incorrectly. Exchange rates are
the same 0.9911.63 is same as 2.3527.50

I have only noticed this behaviour with shop's from Norway. Why is this?

NOK, Nokia Oyj shares?

Okay, I get it, Norwegian Krone

Euro conversions have been somewhat wonky for
reasons outside the sphere of influence of BL and third party, and beyond whatever
site issue there might also be.

The conversion rates are just fine. Both listings are correctly converted. To
me this looks like a sorting issue in BL.

I see. Interesting
