  I’m having a hard time with this, as I’ve been trying to buy some specific parts

a few others to meet the minimum buy for the seller and the seller sends me a
message AFTER shipping that they don’t have or can’t find the parts I actually
needed and still shipped the package. They provide a refund for the missing
parts, but those were the only reason I was buying in the first place.

Is that common business practice, to communicate after shipping that parts are
missing? Would this warrant less than positive feedback?

Newer member here, just seeking some help

Put a note with the order ... DO NOT SHIP IF MISSING PARTS A, B AND C.

Sorry, this can't be serious

Any buyer should have templates just in case...

It depends. Some sellers send package then message with missing parts which i
dont like too. As seller If something missing i always contact buyer how to proceed,
given option to cancel entire order. Its horrible to open an order for important
part which is missing and the seller contact you after the fact they shipped
the order

  Hello,

I have made various orders lately, and two were for the same item, x71 - Rubber
Belt Small (Round Cross Section) - Approx. 2 x 2

Sometimes these come in a box, sometimes taken out, both sellers had them listed
as new, I have left feedback for both, but on closer inspection they are either
different parts or have one set been used?

The one on the right is definitely, x71, the one on the left I am not sure. Any
ideas? thanks

Both large rubbers it seems to be used and they are stretched out. Look at them,
their curves are irregular.

  Hi everyone,
I ordered a sealed set and minifigures that were listed as new from a newly opened
store, the whole thing came in a paper bag in the mail. The set luckily survived.
Unfortunately, the figures are not new, they are used (torsos had traces of arm
movement, etc.). 4 out of 5 figures had cracks in the arm, one figure had a scratch
on the back.
I textet him to ask why he sold them as new and what he suggested to fix this
problem.
The reply was very rude: The figures were in good condition before shipping,
it is not his problem if the post office broke the figures.

In his shop the figures are still listed as new (now with description:
No cracks or scratches. Good condition).
I have written to him again and tryed to find a solution, but it looks difficult.
He just wrote: you can change the arms, they are not printed and not expensive
and he told me that he sold the figures cheap.

But thats not the problem, they are still not new

My question now:
I never wanted or needed to write someone a neutral or negative feedback,
but this one really deserves one. However, I am afraid that I will get a negative
feedback from him in revenge. I am still at 100% positive feedback, my store
has almost 1000 orders. I want to keep it that way, and i don't mean the
almost 1000 orders .
Is it possible to get revenge Feedback deleted?

Thanks for your help

File a NSS to report that you did not get what you ordered. If that doesn't
get you a refund, file a PayPal claim. Then file negative feedback. Negative
feedback left for you as a buyer in return will not affect your sales, so don't
be afraid to leave it for the seller.

  I posted honest feedback on a store, marking it as "Neutral" and honestly
wrote that while everything went fine with the fulfillment, they never left me
feedback even after several months.

The Store complained that they only post feedback once they know I am going to
say something positive, and if I updated my feedback to positive, they would
then leave positive feedback for me...

Few days later I see the feedback has been "Removed by Administration"

Any way I can appeal this?

My feedback was honest and true. I even have the message history to prove it,
including the store trying to "bribe" me to change my feedback to positive...
This shouldn't be allowed...

Leaving neutral feedbacks like this is going to put you on stop buying list of
dozens, if not hundreds of stores. I suggest you read up on the ethics of a neutral
fb on this website and change the ones you left, mostly that poor Polish store
that was 100% before you gave it a fb for a stupid reason.

Nicely said. I had never seen a neutral before for such a stupid reason

  hi, the shop blocked me as a customer.

I have first time a difficult situation as a buyer. I tried to make an order
in the shop "volume discounts" but then realized they blocked me. I contacted
the shop asking what's the issue and they just replied I'm kind of blocked
automatically by them. They were very rude and not willing to solve it or explain.
How should I approach this situation? Give them negative feedback?

Nothing you can do, just move on. There are enough other stores

  Greetings all,

Question - I received negative feedback from a seller because I did not complete
an order. I didn't complete the order and cancelled because the shipping
cost was ridiculously high. According to bricklink policy, that is an acceptable
course of action. I notified the seller why I was cancelling the order. Seemed
to cancel just fine so I assumed this was OK.

However, the seller posted a "NPB" feedback post and then subsequently
blocked me so I can't even communicate a resolution with them.

Is there something that can be done about this? I submitted a feedback removal
request, but who reviews and determines if it can be removed?

Thanks in advance.

Cornbread

Just forget it and move on. After third completed NPB procedure you will be banned.
Assuming from your feedback left to the seller, your order is just cancelled
by the seller

  Good Afternoon Everyone,

Does anyone know if a seller can change an order to completed, have paid for
an order but haven't received yet, the order keeps changing to completed
even though it has yet arrived, every time I change it to shipped then log out,
next time I log on it says completed, even though I haven't changed it myself.
The original said shipped on the 27th August. Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks Jeff

This happened to me recently. I had not received the order and the seller marked
the order as completed. I wrote to the seller but did not receive a reply. Still
thinking about my feedback what it should be.

Only the buyer should be allowed to complete the order. Bricklink should think
about it. Personally, i never touch the status after i set the order to shipped

after putting it near my other 50 yellow axles, it was clearly off the scale.
For reference I ordered one yellow axle 5L. Apart the colour, it was also opaque

You are wrong. There are axes in Bright Light Orange, for TLG they are yellow.
I have such axes from new sets opened by me personally

Here another part which exist in Bright Light Orange

Parts: Technic {Blue}

One more
 
Part No: 2853  Name: Technic Engine Crankshaft

You are wrong. Again, these are just bad examples of parts that are supposed
to be yellow.

I only want to say that there is parts produced by TLG which looks like BLO and
they are not fakes!

   You do not have any Bright Light Orange technic axles.

Yes, I don't have any. As well as from those listed above by me. I listed
them as yellow

  Hey everyone,

does someone has the same or a comparable issue that isn't able (as Seller)
to change the order status to Shipped and/or completed?

Was this issue mentioned before anywhere else? I couldn't find something.

At the moment I have this issue at order 22640701 which the customer has already
received.
But I'm still not able to change the status, reason, unvalid order status,
not more information.

Screenshot attached, thanks for your help!

Why you trying to change order status to competed? This should do only the buyer

I bet NSS will not work. Help desk requires proof of posting with exact address
