Simple¹ solution: export the cart as a wanted list, and open the WL in another
tab, and delete the WL and repeat each time you add an item / change your cart.

(2) is yes. (Just go the My Collection page and you’ll see the Import/Export

So (1) is yes too (export then import, maybe use BrickStore in between).

At first glance, I would guess it was a clone brand & not LEGO; the colors look
a little off, it's really shiny (which is typical of clone plastics),
and I do not believe that torso or leg parts were made by LEGO... as has been
asked, do you see the LEGO logo on the neck top or legs? It doesn't necessarily
mean they are LEGO-printed (as custom printing can be done on authentic LEGO
parts), but if there is no logo, that's a dead give-away that their clone
brands right there...

Thanks guys, I just wanted to be sure. There is no Lego branding on it at all.
It's a shame. It's a nice looking minifig. I found it in a 30lb box
of Legos I purchased online.

For future reference: The plural of LEGO is LEGO. I don't know where people
get the idea that it needs an 's', just putting that out there for reference.
The word 'LEGO' is always capitalized.

This is what TLG state on their official site. I would prefer it if everyone
posting on this site followed proper and official naming conventions when referring
to LEGO branded products.

As to the minifig, if there is no LEGO trademark molded into the plastic, it's
very likely to be a clone brand. That would be an otherwise nice minifig, I suggest
you drop it off to a charity donation bin or your nearest recycling center, if
they can recycle plastic toys.

Cheers ...

I concur with the "LEGO" sentiment, and I try hard to inform others by
only using "LEGO" as intended... oh, & I have a *very* special bin

Thanks again for the help. As for as the LEGO Legos debate. I know that LEGO
plural is LEGO. I was just asking a question and wasn't thinking about grammar.
I'm sure I'm not the only person to make that mistake and I won't
be the last. As far as using the LEGO brand name correctly, I ALWAYS use the
correct form with the trademark symbol in all caps on all my listings outside
of Bricklink. I also put a disclaimer below on all my listings.

LEGO® is a trademark of the LEGO Group of companies which does not sponsor, authorize

Well, if you are going to be the LEGO grammar police, it is not a "minifig".

It's an uphill battle, but not impossible. Even people that use "Kleenex"
as a noun don't say "Kleenexes", so there is hope for "LEGO"
as well. If you want to think of "LEGO" as a noun, it's a collective
noun, like "sheep." You can have one sheep or 5 sheep but you don't
have 5 sheeps. (unless you're a 3 year old.)

Another way to explain it to people is that "LEGO", as a brand trademark,
is not actually a noun. If you use it in a sentence, it's an adjective. As
in "LEGO brick" or "LEGO bricks."

"Heavy" is an adjective, like "LEGO." If you have a box that
weighs a lot, you'd say "that's a heavy box." If you have more
than one box you'd say "heavy boxes", not "heavies box."
Same for LEGO - LEGO brick or LEGO bricks, not LEGOS brick.

The more you know! (insert star swipe and jingle here.)

Why does the item count list all the blocks in the store when you only have a

how many bricks they have from your wanted lists instead? That would be awesome

"I am not responsible for the shipping time once the parcel/letter has been

Yes, you nailed it! Here's hoping enough of us speak up!! Right now the only

... 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.

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!

Was the shipping a priority service, for example, air, or was it sent by some
economical shipping service, for example, surface or economy air?

Definitely ensure both you and the seller check the shipping agencies responsible
for handling the parcel in both countries. Both you and the seller should also
check with the Customs agency in the respective country, perhaps it was delayed
there?

Sometimes packages show up late because they went to an unexpected destination.
You might still get your package, although as you state, there is a large possibility
it was lost or stolen.

The package should have had a Customs form, sometimes they can track it via that
number, if you or the seller have it. In some cases they use a declaration sticker
but if it's for goods nowadays, it needs to be a properly filled out Customs
form for the relevant country.

Cheers ...

I did some digging at this guy's shipping policy.
When ordering, it goes to "request for invoice", insurance and tracking
could not be selected when checking out. That being said, I never explicitly
asked for either of them after placing the order.

On the order form/invoice, the "shipping method" is listed as "Request
for invoice (backup method)".

Here's an excerpt from his shipping policy:
"I am not responsible for the lost uninsured packages - If you choose shipping
without insurance it is always at your own risk"
"I am not responsible for the shipping time once the parcel/letter has been
handed over to the shipping company - Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, shipping
time can be longer than normal"

I always prefer tracking when buying internationally; I just didn't even
know if I had the option at this store.

Sorry for the late reply - I'm blown away by the number of responses!

them only the cheapest shipping option. Ive looked at all the settings, when
it comes to shipping and store settings and i just can not find what is causing
this, therefore i sent a message to Bricklink, however they have not responded
for a very long time.

Thank you ahead of time for any answer!

NO tricks Just Bricks!

Did you put al of you shipping methods in the same group?
Only the cheapest option of a group is shown.

Select group ‘none’ and al the options meeting dimension and weight requirements
should show

Thank you so much!

I thought, that the groups of the shipping methods was just an organisational
thing.

Thank you very much, big help!!!

Please report this to the help desk, moved this to Tech Issues as order details

It is just the orange torso color bleeding through the white ink to make it look

Ah, then that would be the major problem: you aren’t allowed to be paid offsite
when BL has to collect taxes (be it because you asked the buyer or because the
buyer took it upon themselves to pay that way).

You aren’t registered with the EU to collect EU VAT. BL is the one that’s registered
and that has to collect the VAT, not you.

When you do that, you’re committing tax fraud: https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1401495

The only way is to refund and go through Onsite.

That being said, it seems the Help Desk just focused on that first part (offsite
payment) and didn’t look into why there’s an error when the buyer tries to pay.

I’d try contacting them again _but only for that problem_. Don’t talk about
offsite or finding another way to pay or making an exception focus on the error
message. Otherwise they may again be stuck on it.

Also, maybe there’s still a problem with PayPal: I think some have reported problems
here when a buyer was trying to use some PayPal options, like “PayPal credit”
or something like that (sorry, I’m not a PayPal specialist).

Hi,

We are in South Africa and decided to open up to EU. We are having an issue with
EU customers paying onsite. They keep getting an error. We accepted Euro as payment,
our Paypal has been linked for two years.

Hi,

From what I can see in your terms, it seems to be properly set (I don’t think
there’s anything else to do than have Onsite and associate it to a shipping method).

We contacted BL customer service which they admonished us for trying to avoid
fees which we are absolutely not doing we appreciate the service BL provides
and have no problem paying our dues. What we needed was help, so our EU customers
could pay onsite, because of VAT being deducted for orders under 150 Euros. We
still have no assistance and no solution.

Maybe there was a misunderstanding… or are you asking your buyers to pay offsite?

Did you give Help Desk the error message & reference number?

Have you tried contacting PayPal? (I guess they’ll say it’s BL’s problem… but
well, maybe not.)

Anyone familiar with settings as we have Euro enabled in PayPal and in Bricklink
and our current customers are unable to pay so we have had to close international
as an option.

Looks open to me.
