| Hi everybody,
I understand that alternate lots represent different production runs, but I recently
stumbled on a used set that has the correct amount of a part, albeit both regular
mold and alternate mold parts are featured.
Is this mix-and-match considered valid to sell the set on BrickLink or do I have
to have only parts from the regular or the alternate mold?
Thank you in advance!

| Thanks for the reply, and I yearn for a North American GDPR although I may have
to wait a while. In the mean time I was wondering if BrickLink itself had such
a policy.
I have put both these stores on my Dislike list but I wish there was some sort
of bigger liability for BrickLink sellers who do that.

| | Hi all,
twice in the past ten days, I have received a promotional email newsletter from
two different North American sellers I once bought from despite never having
agreed (or even been asked) to be sent those.
These emails are sent outside of the BrickLink store newsletter feature that
rightfully needs the buyer’s consent before being sent to them.
This is a violation of privacy and it has to stop. Is there anything in the BrickLink
rules about abusing buyers’ email address that’s communicated during the order
process?

In the EU and UK there is - GDPR. You can tell a seller to stop sending marketing
messages and that you will report them if they continue to as you did not consent
to the collection of your email address for marketing purposes. If you know it
is them, you can also least favourite the store and set up a filter to delete
all future mail from them. I tend to do that for all spam, rather than trying
to unsubscribe from mailing lists.

to be originating from the seller themselves.

Hi,
Note that it may not be the sellers doing that but someone else trying to pass
as them. IOW: a scam.
There’s been multiple instances of this with European sellers (German mostly).

| I found this giant clip with a plate 2 x 2 attached in a bin and I have been
unable to figure out what it is.
On the clip it is written "©2015 LEGO PAT. PENDING" on one side and "51493-4
IOHK S2 CHINA"
Not sure about the last two digits of number which could be 3s, 8s or 9s. Not
sure about the "IOHK" either.
The plate and the clip are firmly stuck to each other, no amount of force using
a part separator has been successful at making the parts even budge.
I thought it could come from a Ninjago set with a rip cord but I haven't
had any luck there either.
Thank you for your consideration!

| I confirm Pirate Ship has a field to input the IOSS number for international
shipping to EU member countries with VAT (spelling all the keywords so that I
can find this post 6 months from now when I get another sale from Europe).
Additionally since the last time I tried them more than a year ago Pirate Ship
doesn’t have a minimum balance anymore. Accounts are free to open and labels
can be paid directly from your favorite payment method (cards or Paypal).
Definitely a stronger contender to Paypal’s Shipstation integration than before.
Cheers!

| | Hi folks,
Once again I've made a sale to an EU member buyer, and once again I'm
stumped trying to provide the IOSS number as part of my USPS shipping. The Shipstation
interface I usually use doesn't have a field for "Importer's reference"
described in the VAT help (https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=2517#ioss)
but, more worryingly, the USPS Click'n'Ship interface doesn't have
this field either.
Additionally, the "Learn More" on the help line stating "If you are
using USPS Intl Priority Mail, Intl First-Class, you should use the “Importer’s
reference” field to input our IOSS number." leads to a page (https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=2518)
that doesn't mention IOSS or USPS.
How am I supposed to submit the IOSS number electronically to ensure my buyer
won't be charged for a pretty substantial VAT amount again?
Thank you in advance.

Instructions show element id 4211675 which is the Turntable Top 4 x 4 Non-locking. It makes much more sense given that the base is smooth as well.

| | Unfortunately i will have to close my store because I am moving across the state
soon and dont want to have to take it with me when I go. I have loved running
this store and it gave me the time to myself to zone out on legos and added a
little extra income when I needed it the most. So all used parts are 70% off,
and new parts except sets are 40% off. Minifigures are 30% off. Will be uploading
new inventory everyday but get what you need while supplies last. Official last
day of the store will be March 1st im guessing. I have all my bins and sorting
stuff and inventory i dont get uploaded for sale after that for any other bricklink
stores who may be interested. Everything is inventoried by a scanner system.
Shipping bypass is MONKEY. Thanks everyone.
