I know, very complicated... but an obvious solution.

Can the seller issue a credit for the amount already paid, then send an invoice
for a nominal amount? I realize this wouldn't get the full tax amount but
it would (in theory at least) allow the payment status to be paid, and the order
to be marked as shipped.

There definitely would not have been any light gray in a set from 2012, only
light bluish gray. And there are definitely color variations there - additionally,
there are some LBG elements that have a hint of translucency, I guess because
not enough dye was added to the plastic.

Although I could build the substructure of the hill out of Lego bricks, it would

of building a sub structure out of bass wood that would go underneath that section

They're pretty similar. Both PayPal and Stripe used to be 2.9% + $0.30 per
transaction. PayPal recently raised their fees to 3.49% + $0.49 but it looks
like Stripe is still the same as before. But I would still recommend accepting
PayPal since so many buyers and sellers on BrickLink use it.

Stripe is the same as before BUT if you want seller protection akin to what PayPal

The key thing is that the IOSS number has to be sent electronically - it won't
suffice to put it on the package itself. Maybe someone who is more familiar with
how the Royal Mail operates can weigh in - in the US it means that you have to
buy the postage online, and not every vendor allows the IOSS number to be entered.
If you ship outside of the EU (e.g. USA, Canada, Norway) then you don't have
to worry about an IOSS number. BL will collect sales tax for the USA, and there
are no customs fees; but Canadian and Norwegian buyers will have to pay VAT/sales
tax and maybe customs fees as well.

Flat rate is more expensive than using your own box and buying priority mail
postage at commercial rates (e.g. through Pirate Ship) - even if you're buying
flat rate postage at the commercial rate.

FWIW I went to your store and put something in my cart and the shipping cost
seemed about right, maybe even a bit high.
Are you buying postage commercially or at the retail counter? I'd recommend
switching to the former if you're doing the latter - you'll save yourself
a lot of money.

For each order:
1 - Go to the order detail page
2 - Click "Edit order" near the bottom
3 - Copy and paste the tracking number in the appropriate field
4 - Edit your "drive thru" template to include tracking information -
the macro (wrapped in less than/greater than signs like an HTML tag) is ORDERTRACKNO
https://www.bricklink.com/v2/mystore/message_templates.page
5 - send drive thru message to buyers
Additionally, if you paste the buyer's email address into the appropriate
field when you buy the shipping label, I believe Pirate Ship will send an email
with tracking information (I'm not sure as I've never used this feature).

| | It seems a customer of mine had their package stolen. I sent their package. I
did not hear from them, assuming everything was ok, until they contacted me during
the holidays two weeks from the ship date. The customer asked me for the tracking
number. I looked up into the number, and it was indicated the package has been
delivered, and left at their front door/porch. I suspect it may have been stolen,
and they asked me to fill out a claim.
However, it is not my responsibility to fill out a claim on their behalf. The
customer should be responsible to fill out a claim. They used USPS’ Priority
Mail, and the packages are already insured for certain claims, up to $50. Their
order was less that amount. What are your advice/tips on resolving this issue?
Thanks!
|
Couple things. First, to mitigate this sort of thing in the future, you should
give the buyer the tracking number right away (maybe you did, but I see in your
message that the buyer asked you for it, indicating that you didn't enter
it into the order detail screen or put it in the "drive-thru" email).
If the buyer has the tracking number, he or she can change the delivery instructions,
such as asking that the package be held at the post office if he or she isn't
going to be at the house for a while (away for the holidays or whatever). In
fact I had a buyer do just this in the latter part of last month.
Second, it is the seller's responsibility to file a claim because
the insurance won't refund the buyer - only the seller, who can then refund
the buyer. USPS probably won't refund in this case since the tracking shows
delivered, but there is the possibility that they delivered to the wrong address.
Third, you mentioned $50 insurance. Are you buying postage retail at the counter?
You can save a good bit, plus get $100 insurance, by buying postage at commercial
rates through (e.g.) Pirate Ship or PayPal/ShipStation.

No, the stores had a business relationship and synchronized their stock on a

has gone back and forth across the US and still hasn't left after 13 days

because ShipStation uses a forwarding service (like PirateShip's Global Export
Rate), but it's still incredibly disappointing.
I feel terrible for the buyer, who spent the extra money for priority (they haven't
reached out yet regarding the package). Has anyone else experienced this using
ShipStation and is there anything I can do regarding getting some of the rate
back and pass back on to the buyer if they reach out?

I don't think ShipStation would use a forwarding service if you chose International
Priority - at least I would hope they wouldn't! For example, even if you
have Pirate Ship's Simple Export Rate you can still use USPS or UPS if
you like, and pay the higher rate.

Won't BL remove it if the seller refunds?

I think part of it is since if I'm not mistaken in Europe tax is built into
the price so they arent used to paying it as an extra cost

"Europe" is more complicated than that. The issue here is an EU buyer
buying from a non-EU country, but is within the EEA.
|
to the rest of the world europe is europe for lack of better words
|
Right, so an EU buyer would see prices without added VAT were he or she looking
at a Norwegian store. I guess the same if looking at an Icelandic store or a
store in Liechtenstein (although there do not appear to be any of these).

| | Hi.
1. I want to pull some data from BL into my collection tracker in Google Sheets.
According to the API docs here https://www.bricklink.com/v3/api.page ,I am supposed
to use this URL to get a consumer key
https://www.bricklink.com/v2/api/register_consumer.page
But it says "Seller only, you must register as a seller".
Is this a hard requirement? I am a private person. Or is it just to perform additional
checks?
2. Also, I've learned that there is a limit of 5000 requests/day. While my
collection did not yet reach even 25% of that (yet ) I want to be mindful
of BL resources. Is there a way to perform bulk requests (same API on a range
of similar items, for instance, pull details on 10 sets in one go)?
Many thanks in advance!

Partly my fault?
If you would really look into this case you would possibly notice this buyer
has no intention at all to buy and or pay.
Well, this is at least my idea looking at a minus 8.

And IC would have stopped them from messing you around. Putting a barrier (here,
payment) in front of someone here that wants to cause chaos means they ignore
you and go on and do it to someone else. Of course, IC can fail where there is
no postage option, or if the buyer can find parts in your store with missing
data, but finding those is also a barrier to their behaviour.
|
If you use the setting to only allow IC methods to new buyers then I don't
think even the "failsafe" manual option will work.

Only the seller can answer that for you. Have you tried contacting him or her?

If you add more parts to your inventory and some are sold before you send notifications,
will those additional parts still show up as available for purchase ?
I have quite a few parts to notify about but I am concerned that the inventory
will still show them as available even if they sold already. Has anyone else
had this happen before ?

I've had it happen several times and can confirm that they will not show
as available for purchase - nor will notifications be sent for them.

It's very nice but I do think the color palette is a bit drab.
