Interesting, but OP found a 2895...

Thank you for your effort anyway

... Ssssooooo... If it's seller responsibility should the seller foot the
bill for mandatory insurance?

Depends on your risk management strategy. I charge insurance on orders over
$50, I will replace or refund all orders lost, and we have decided that we can
handle the occasional $50 or less "loss."

We have an order out right now that appears to be lost that has 10 rare items.
So, I just took another 10 out of my inventory as insurance for the buyer in
case it is indeed lost, it will be a minor hit, but the customer service, in
my mind, is worth it.

I believe that Bricklink should null and void all of the "I am not responsible
for your order once I hand it off to the shipper" nonsense. IMO, this only
encourages bad selling practices and unhappy customers.

If you are a seller, you are bound by the same contract that your buyer is agreeing
to upon submission of their order.

  Hi
I am trying to find a piece I have on My Collections. It is a technic wheel.
Can I find it from the number printed on it (2895)? I believe Lego calls it a
'design id'. I don't know what set its from because I bought it at
Goodwill.

Hi,

You should be able to find a part by its LEGO Design ID here because BrickLink
uses it as a base for its IDs.

The differences are:
1. Some parts have multiple Design IDs for LEGO but are “bunched” together on
BL.  In that case, the BL parts has the other Design IDs as “Alternate IDs” and
they are searchable too.
2. Some parts have one Design ID for LEGO but are deemed different on BL.  In
that case, the BL parts IDs have a letter or another suffix.  For instance,
3001 = brick 2x4, 3001old = the older version(s), without inner supports.
3. On BrickLink, decorated parts (print or sticker) use the plain part’s ID,
with a “p…” suffix.  For instance 3005p04.
4. Some parts are a composite, an assembly of subparts (either sold that way
by LEGO or assembled afterward but difficult to disassemble).  Those parts have
a “c…” suffix.

For 2, 3, 4, you can find the part by adding an asterisk (*) to the ID: searching
“3005*” will give you all the decorated 1x1 bricks (3005).

You should also be able to find a part by its LEGO Element ID (called PCC, Part
Colour Code here) too.


That being said, 3895 doesn’t seem to be a LEGO design ID.
Does it have a LEGO logo somewhere?  (Not all LEGO parts do but when they have,
we are sure they aren’t clones )

Could you post a pic?
That’s the ultimate solution when you can’t find part: use the community

  If I was the buyer and I wanted to save money by not having tracking, I'm
taking MY chances.

This is simply obsolete and even illegal in many places.

Especially as BrickLink doesn't display a button "Click here to pay for
an order and have 90% chance to receive it! (and agree)".

So, you can't be sure buyer has even seen or thought at the risk he's
taking.

No, distant selling isn't a game anymore; just talk about this with PayPal,
you'll see
