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

So, you think paypal will tell me I "have to get my money back"?

you think any government would say "that's not a right you can choose
to use or not"

Seriously?

If I want someone to ship without insurance, I'm going to benefit from that
and if it doesn't work out, I'm going to hold THEM responsible for my
choice?

All this would do is dry up the sellers willing to ship to save me money

  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.

Here's a photo: (It looks white in the photo but it is actually light bluish
gray)

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,

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

  Hello!
A few months ago, a placed an order from a highly rated Danish seller. The order
amounted to 434.69 DKK (roughly $62.82 USD), and was shipped February 20th. It's
been over three months and the order is nowhere to be seen (tracking was not
included on the order), and the seller and I both agree that the item was likely
lost or stolen. The seller sent photographic proof that he wrote my mailing address
correctly, so none of this is his fault.
We're considering a 50% refund as the fairest option, but I'm curious
about what you all think.
Thanks!
- Lucas

If I was the buyer and I wanted to save money by not having tracking, I'm
taking MY chances.
Regardless of the rights of the buyer in the sellers country, you can 'have'
a right and not exercise it.

if I'm holding the seller responsible when I'm trying to save money,
the seller may simply choose not to give me a choice in the matter the next time.
And I will always want the right to choose.

I would reply, thank you for the offer of the 50%, but I took my chances in sending
it uninsured. That's just me though

If the seller paid insurance, which they should have on an order over $10 usd.
They should be reimbursed the full cost. You should too. We've had 2 orders
lost by usps, one was delivered 3 months later. Refund was issued prior, all
good. Cost of doing business.

  After the latest update of Firefox, all pages originated from the "Want"
menu are impossible to scroll up/down, not only with the mouse wheel but also
by using PgUp/PgDn, arrows, or any other method. They just freeze in their first
position. Edge and Chrome browsers have no problem. I did all possible remedies
in Firefox (cache, clean cookies, re-initialize) but nothing seems to work. Anyone
else can replicate this?

Google brings this search result up. Check it and see if it fixes this issue:
