Hi and welcome 
The admins moderate the designs according to these guidelines: https://studiohelp.bricklink.com/hc/en-us/articles/360042355033-Studio-Gallery-submission-guidelines
Until a design is accepted, it’s “Display Only.”
For your two public designs, you clearly state you’ve copied someone else’s intellectual
property. They’ll stay Display Only.
If you have posted another design, and it has been set to Private, then check
the guidelines link above to understand why.

Your status doesn’t matter.
BrickLink has to collect the taxes from the buyers, so the payment can only be
done with an onsite method (Stripe or PayPal Onsite).
If there’s an e-mail or link in the invoice, it may be a way to make the buyers
pay offsite (the buyers could send the money directly to the e-mail, or the link
could be a link to a payment service). BL can’t allow that because that would
be tax fraud.
Remove links and e-mails from your invoices when BrickLink has to collect tax.

Printing jobs are sent into a queue (= saved somewhere on your disk) before being
sent to the printer. If the printer doesn’t answer or is interrupted or if the
queue is interrupted or there’s a glitch and it doesn’t know the job was printed
or it forgot it was, it’ll try again later.
It may not try again immediately when the printer is available, something else
may trigger it.
When you add features like:
— multiple printers,
— multiple users / machines,
— pausing,
— auto-retry, etc.,
you also add potentialities for glitches.
Well, that, or it’s gremlins….

Hi and welcome
The dedicated forum for Studio and PartDesigner is https://forum.bricklink.com/
(hover over the red Studio icon on every page, then click “Studio Forum”).
There, you should be able to upload a better image.
Here’s the direct link to post in the correct subforum: https://forum.bricklink.com/posting.php?mode=post&f=4
Please, also tell us what’s your operating system (Windows, macOS)? Its version?
Your hardware? The version of Studio you’re running?
Also, if that happens with a particular model, it would help if you could attach
it.
Can you also join Studio’s log file? This file is called Prev_Player.log
and it can be found:
on Windows: C:\Users\{YOUR USERNAME}\AppData\Local\Stud.io\
on macOS: /Users/{YOUR USERNAME}/.local/share/Stud.io
Notes:
— .local & AppData are hidden (Cmd + Shift + . (period) to see hidden files in
macOS Finder; on Windows, you can search for %localappdata% (with the percent
signs) to directly go to AppData\Local),
— the file is overwritten everytime you start Studio, so get it just after you
have had the problem.

If you didn’t refund the whole order, you can’t cancel it.
Otherwise, this scenario would be possible: buyer pays 100, seller refunds 1
and cancels, buyer can’t do anything on BL.
(With luck, buyer can do something with PayPal or Stripe to get the remaining
99.)

That is only valid when one hasn’t yet checked out. And you can’t click on “check
out” if the prices/available quantities have changed.
So, if OP has already checked out, as they seem to say, they can’t update the
cart anymore because the items have been reserved at the prices in the cart and
the prices can’t change.
(If the seller changed the prices after the click, it’s too late. Too bad for
the seller if it’s an increase, too bad for the buyer if it was a decrease.)
So it’s a bug somewhere else, in the shipping calculation or in the taxes one.

Er, what do you mean exactly by “not available”?
Do you mean the parts that EasyBuy or Auto-select didn’t find?
If you’ve already made the orders, you can “apply” them on your Wanted List.
Beware, that feature only works well if you only have one Wanted List, because
it has no memory of what was already “applied.”
You open your WL, there’s an “Apply Order” button on the top right. Click on
it, it will propose your orders that have items that match the ones in the WL.
Choose an order and apply it: the Have fields are changed to the quantity in
the order.
Most of the searches, and notably the Buy page, know to only look for “wanted
qty minus Have qty” and not “wanted qty” only. For some (search in a store for
instance), you need to activate the option in the filters.
Beware2: If you have parts in your WL in the colour Not Applicable (= Any colour
for searches), Apply Order won’t find them, because parts in the orders have
another colour.
So you’ll need to check your WL and orders for those parts.
If that doesn’t answer your question, please give more details on your situation

Hi,
AFAIK, there’s no simple way to do that.
I thought about trying to trick the site: I imported an inventory of one part
with negative quantity… and I got this (see pic; note that the total is correct
2 + -1 = 1).
Not what you want.
So I think you’ll have to:
— go piece by piece,
— or start again (you can empty your whole collection by importing an empty file),
— or use a thrid-party tool, like BrickStore: download/export your collection,
import it in BrickStore, edit it there (you should be able to remove the set’s
inventory), then import it in your My Collection… or not, because BrickStore
has many features My Collection still doesn’t have.

Agreed! The dots and circles, the red arrows aren't identical on both versions!

Joking aside, I can’t see what difference the arrows are supposed to point to.
Circles’ diff seem to be either that:

The help page: https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=2550
also links to: https://taxation-customs.ec.europa.eu/online-sellers_en
The €10k threshold replaces the previous by-country thresholds for non-domestic
sales, so it works the same way, and that’s the same way as domestic sales: it’s
your total sales.
BrickLink and PayPal fees are parts of your costs, exactly like buying the LEGO
you sell. You don’t remove your costs from your sales when you consider your
total sales.
Postage is a cost too. There’s rare cases where it can be excluded but they
don’t apply on BL.

Hi,
You’ll need to open your store as you can’t advertise something that’s not for
sale in your store.
You can set a high minimum value to prevent orders.
Also add a clear announcement on the banner, splash page or terms to explain
you want to sell your whole inventory.
Also, ads (sales & new items for sale) should go to the Sales topic… but selling
an entire store is a bit of an edge case: you’re not advertising to the common
buyer. I’ll let you decide if you want to post there.
(But the limit is still 1 ad per month to prevent year-long “I’m selling my store”
sales: https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1437060 )

In short, at some extent and depending the case, an order on BrickLink can technically

No. Goods are never a service.
What could be argued is that BL parts orders are “goods made to order or clearly
personalised.” Those are exempt from the “cooling-off” period.
Sellers can also:
— not refund shipping,
— have restocking fees,
if it’s clearly stated in the terms before the sale.

When you click there, there’s a checkbox “Add set inventory to My Parts” in the

If you tick it, the parts of the set are added to your My Collection in the
Parts section, but the set is not added in the Sets section, contrarily to what
the button still says.
IOW:
— box ticked = part out the set in My Parts

I’m not sure the search in your seller Inventory goes into the minifigs or sets’
inventories anyway.
You’d need to part them out first. (So, have them twice: once as a whole item,
and once as parts.)
Better use a third-party tool like BrickStore (application) or Rebrickable (website).
You may have to do it that way too (= have them twice) but at least it’s automatized
and, sadly, simpler than BL.
BrickStore can direclty import from/export to yor BL Wanted Lists. (Or you can
download and upload yourself if you don’t want to give it your password.)
Rebrickable should be able to do it too.
You too

Great, thanks for the info ! By the time I move, get a place to live, get my
stuff from Canada (by boat of course so it will take months), it will take at
least a year or two before I will be able to reopen my store.
Thanks for the info about the threshold amount as well. I'll try looking
on Internet to confirm it but so far I haven't found anything.
|
That threshold is for intra-EU sales excluding domestic. So all of EU but Spain.
Otherwise, each EU country has its own thresholds and procedures and statuses.
The domestic VAT threshold can go from €0 to €90,800. AFAICT, Spain’s threshold
is €0. So every professional should get a VAT number in Spain.
Searching “EU VAT thresholds” leads to that page: https://www.vatcalc.com/eu/2023-eu-vat-registration-intrastat-thresholds/
Searching “VAT registration Spain” leads to that page: https://administracion.gob.es/pag_Home/en/Tu-espacio-europeo/derechos-obligaciones/empresas/impuestos/IVA/registro-pago.html
(Note that many EU countries have governmental pages in multiple languages… except
France 🤷♂️)
But as you’ll have been in Spain for many months before opening, you’ll have
time to ask a real local expert

Unless you’ve a batmobile, a helicopter should be more than twice as fast as
a car, so I get you mean it’s 40min for the helicopter to reach you and 40min
more to get you to the hospital?
Isn’t there a doctor in the helo?

Hi,
First, you don’t need to merge the WLs to order them together.
Just go to the Buy page (https://www.bricklink.com/v2/wanted/buy.page ) and tick
the boxes in the Wanted Lists tab in the panel on the left.
You can also select/unselect items by using the Wanted Items tab.
| | I tried downloading the individual lists, to reupload them in a new list, but
the format used for downloading isn't supported when uploading (this is really
strange to me, but ok)
|
You need to use the second tab on the upload page (https://www.bricklink.com/v2/wanted/upload.page
).
You’ll need to _paste_ the content of a Wanted List (one at a time, you can’t
paste them all at once).
To be clear:
— the BL WL XML format can only be pasted, not uploaded as a file (like can be
done with other formats),
— it can only be done on the upload page, not from the upload button inside a
WL.
🤷♂️
| | So I tried copying the parts to a new list. This worked for the first list. However
when I tried doing the same on the second list, it warned me that at least one
the parts was already in the new list. And yeah, some parts are used by different
lists. I would expect the app to merge them, that is, if both lists have the
same part, then the new list will have 2x that part. But apparently this is not
what happens.
What other options do I have to merge my lists? Other than looking up every individual
part once again.
|
Uploading by pasting XML on the upload page works. The verification page shows
a warning but it clearly says the quantity will be added to the previous one,
so it’s what we want.
Another solution is to use third-party tools, like BrickStore (application) or
Rebrickable (website).

Well, BrickLink terms of service say you can’t transfer an account. You can
sell (or give away) your items, but not the account & feedback.
OTOH, your situation is particular (incorporation & between spouses… but OTOOH,
you’re still two different people (or three, if there’s a “corporate/juridical

Try asking the Help Desk… but then, the answer may take some time.

Hi,
Unfortunately, there’s no easy way to do that in Studio
One solution would be to use the special light-emitting colours… and maybe a
custom part (as the ‘official’ part has its colours fixed).
Also, the dedicated forum for Studio and PartDesigner is https://forum.bricklink.com/
(hover over the red Studio icon on every page, then click “Studio Forum”).
Please search the forum for your question before posting a new one (the search
box is in the very dark grey banner).

Hi,
You can’t directly do that
The My Collection feature isn’t complete and isn’t linked to the other parts
of the website 🙄
You can still do it if you:
1. download your order,
2. make an BrickLink XML inventory with it,
3. import that inventory in your My Collections / Parts.
(1) and (3) are rather easy, (2) is the complicated part.
The simplest way to do (2) is with using BrickStore… but then, you might as well
use BrickStore to manage your collection.

Probably what happened is the buyer placed an order in your store and completed
it but before you sent him an invoice, he came back and placed another order.
BrickLink will automatically combine them into one order if the order is still
"Pending"..

I thought the batches were separated in the order details?
Or is it only for buyers?
Or an option?

Hi and welcome
The Catalog Request topic is for, well, requests about the main catalogue, not
personal inventories.
As you’re very new and a buyer (not a seller), I presume you’re talking about
My Collection (https://www.bricklink.com/v3/myCollection/main.page ).
In that case, you can delete each section by uploading an empty file.
That is:
— click the Import/Export dropdown on the upper right corner of the “Add…” dialog
(see pic),
— choose “Import…,”
— select “Custom CSV or XML file” (top choice),
— give it an empty file (just create a file with nothing in it or just spaces),
— it’ll warn you it’s empty, continue,
— select “Replace collection”,
— it’ll warn you you’ll lost your collection, Submit.

Not LEGO:
0. No 0.5L axles. Unless broken.
1. Wrong colour.
2. Wrong material.
3. The pin on your part is full. LEGO pins are tubes.
4. Bad moulding: there’s some flush visible inside the pin.

Hi and welcome
It depends on the format of the parts list you got.
What is the format of your list?
Also, Rebrickable can convert / export to many formats. You can even fill a
BrickLink Wanted List directly from a Rebrickable inventory (there’s a button
at the top of the inventory).
