  Hi,

When I try to pay using onsite payment while using instant checkout I keep on
getting the notification PAYPAL_PAYKEY_CREATION_FAILED

It's been going on since April so I don't think it's a site bug which
is what the help desk told me.

Any other ideas of what might resolve this for me?

thanks

That is odd, I have not had the problem myself lately, I think I saw this once
when there was an actual PayPal issue. Can you try another browser to see if
maybe it is isolated to that?

Understandably frustrating especially when you make all your profit off shipping
and fees.

Guess you just have to deal with it, like Bricklink deals with you making a profit
and bypassing almost all fee collections from your business. All this while
simultaneously skewing the price guide.

  Hello, does anyone know if there is an easy way to part out a specific numbered
bag of a set instead of parting out the entire thing? I ask because I do not
have enough room to part out an entire set, but I do have the room to part out
a few different bag numbers from the set.

Thanks, Ski town bricks

Only if you buy some classic sets that are bagged by color, parts inventory for
a set is hard enough, by bag would be excessive!

  If BrickLink implemented this than people could get around it simply by using
a VPN

They used to do this, a quick check back in my orders shows customer order IP
addresses disappeared around 10/3/2019.

No idea why anyone would care besides maybe the extra PayPal fee for currency
conversion, as far as I am concerned it is just the cost of doing business.

And yes, a free VPN would allow this to be bypassed quite simply if anyone wanted
to.

  Starbeanie is right, IF you're willing to wait. 6 month data shows that an
ava005 sold in August for $40. There's a sale in November for $59.90. If
you filter by currency there's 2 new ones left for ~ $60 plus the $98 one.
I think it will sell for the $98 in the next 6 months.


Are you suggesting that none will be listed in the next 6 months?

It's not right or wrong, it's just opinion, and sometimes speculation.

  there are 14 for sale new. The cheapest is $59.90 (and one just sold at that)
and the most expensive is $122.20 . $98 is not ridiculous.


The one listed for $122.20 is one of the worst price guide offenders on the entire
site, I do not agree with you at all.

  There’s “for sale” and there’s “sold.”  “Sold” is the market price.  “For sale”
is wishes.

Why would a seller align their wishes on other sellers’ wishes and not on the
reality of market is the question.

I think sometimes it makes sense to offer items based upon current average depending
on how scarce it is. Although personally I think trying to sell at current
average across the board is a bad idea.

  I'm confused how sellers destroy the sale price with sky high prices? Shouldn't
the sales price reflect what people are willing to pay? If pieces are selling
at sky high prices than that is what they are worth!

Not 6 months sales average, current inventory average. Some people like to use
current inventory prices instead of historical sales figures.

Someone offering for sale ava005 for $98 (which is probably used) doesn't
mean it is worth that.
