  Hey folks,

I have a 3144 with a partially broken prong. I attempted to fix it with MEK,
but apparently this part isn’t made with the same materials as regular pieces.
Someone then told me that it might be PVC, but I tried that glue and it also
did nothing. Does anyone have any idea what glue or chemical that I can use on
this part to make the repair?

Photo enclosed.

Thanks!

Super Glue?

Hi all. I just added hundreds of parts in my store. There are Star Wars, Marvel,
and many other hard to find printed parts. Also most items are 15% off. And I
usually run sales all the time and add more parts.

Please check out my store.

Thank you

Thank you.

First you need to add the part to the catalog, then you can make a inventory
change request.

Never done this before. How do you add it first?

Thank you.

Never mind found where to add to catalog.

  Hi all, I am just starting out to print labels through Shipstation. I am choosing
USPS ground advantage. I tried choosing the package type of bubble mailer or
flat envelope but it tells me that is an "invalid type". What are you
all using as a package type? Thanks.

Hello. I use Custom Package then fill out the measurements. Make sure they are
correct as you can be charged extra by the USPS.

  I had a couple of these this in my inbox this morning. They looked completely
legitimate. I did login in to BL from my work computer yesterday. When I have
logged in from work before, I have never gotten an email like this, but I thought
that maybe it was a new security feature.

Anyway, with a very official looking email in hand, I clicked the suggested logout
from all devices link and had just about entered my credentials in the new window
to log back in when I noticed two minor things that seemed just a bit off. I
won’t mention those things in case the fraudsters are reading. I looked at the
URL and it was very close to BrickLink’s (it was not the .net one that was mentioned
before). Needless to say, I immediately changed my PW and reenabled the one-time
PIN (I had turned it off because I was being repeatedly prompted for a new PIN
over very short time spans even when I hadn’t logged out). I’ll also be downloading
my inventory

BE DILIGENT! I’m a pretty suspicious person when it comes to online activity,
but, in my groggy state when I woke up this morning, I almost fell for a phishing
scheme presented as a very authentic looking email.

I don’t know why BrickLink has suddenly become such a juicy target. These people
have no hope of accessing any of my monetary accounts. I assume the goal is
to gain access to a legitimate shop so they can list high-dollar items to scam
other members.

I don’t envy the task that management has ahead of them, but they need to take
some substantive action soon. This is not a primary income stream for me, so
at some point, when all the gummy spam, phishing attempts, and slow helpdesk
response times become too much, I may simply close my store for a while. I don’t
need the extra headache of worrying about online security for a part-time job.
Had I fallen victim to this phishing attempt, I’m really not sure how much effort
I would have put into trying to recover my account. BrickLink just feels like
a dicier selling proposition lately.

Had one last night and it went right to my spam folder. Could tell right away
it was not from Bricklink.

  Why can we not have all our messages go into our inbox on Bricklink? When someone
messages a seller who doesn’t have an order we get an email from BL with the
message. The message reply email isn’t even to the person asking the question.
You have to remove the BL email and put in their email or it will just go
to a dead box. It seems so simple to keep track of if we just keep all messages
on BL. It would even be better if we didn’t give out email addresses like most
other sites already block. They may also stop the spam we are all getting. Just
my 2 cents.

  Hi all,

I haven’t been getting orders for the past few weeks, but before that I used
to get 1-3 a week. I wanted to ask if there was something wrong with my shop
or how I could get more orders? I have added about 10k more pieces this year
and am still slow on orders. Also, I tried to lower my shipping as much as possible
in order to be able to pay the PayPal and Bricklink fees. (I do currently use
pirate ship)

Thank you so much for your help

Hi. Sales are a little slower right now I would imagine for tax season. But just
keep adding more parts and a wide variety. I put 1 minifigure in the cart and
shipping was $6.00. The shipping cost might be keeping buyers away. Also your
refund policy should be open in case a buyer does not like a part they get.

Hope this helps

  So I want some opinions on what you all would do. I am somewhat at fault so will
take some of the blame. I placed an order in a store without looking at the terms.
It stated when I placed the order to give them 7 days to ship. Now when I went
back and looked before they closed there store to do orders they upped it to
14 days. So it has been 9 days with still sitting on paid.

So here where is I want your opinions would you file a NSS or still sit and wait
for 14 days even though they changed it since I have placed my order. It isn't
a big lot order or anything.

I would wait. Had placed an order on the 8th and the seller still has not shipped
it yet. Only 3 parts so no problem on waiting. They said up to 5 business days.

Just came across this on another website...

Did not know Target carried it a few years ago. Would be cool to have one of
the parts.

  The notifications for my last two uploads don’t seem to be going out. I typically
get my confirmation email within minutes. Nothing at all for about 12 hours so
far this time. Tried again just now, still nothing. Not sure if this is an appropriate
place to post. Just wondering if I’m alone in this?

Did not work 2 times for me.

Thank you.

Instructions come with a set, that is why they are where they are.

But if you are trying to buy just the checklist it makes it harder for the buyer
to find.

Please make it look like a train window in the catalog.

Thank you.

In future you are welcome to help fix things like this by uploading an image
yourself but on this occasion I have changed this one.

You may need a hard refresh of your browser to see it.

Thanks
