I would have probably picked it up and thrown it against the wall at that point

  Hi.

I'm not sure if this is indeed a Human error, or not, but I have NOTHING
in my store that is allowed to be sold due to no 'sizes' showing in the
dimensions format.

nothing is showing the weight, size (either in studs or mm sizes)

Have I done something or is it BL?

Hello?

all these views and no suggestions?

This is very worrying, as I cannot find ANY dimensions for ANY of tyhe items
in my store.

Even some of the items are within the catalogue, and they have no dimensions
( like a friends mini-doll for example)

I'll have to close my store in the meantime, to avoid getting queries from
potential customers.

Paul

Got nothing to add other than I've noticed the same. But as we don't
use IC, I honestly haven't been too concerned about it.

  Inventory list shows 50, but I do not think that is correct. Closer to 45?

Just went through my instructions for 6086 very carefully, flipping back and
forth between pages to verify I didn't double-count any part. I counted exactly
50 1x2 Light Gray bricks used in the main build of the set.

Also, I inventoried the set before building it a little while back, and my part
count matched the Bricklink inventory. I then built the set, and there were no
extra 1x2 bricks, so I'm doubly sure 50 is the correct number.

To be fair to dchamf, these old instructions are VERY difficult to follow. Which
is part of why I love building the old castles and other large sets: it's
a challenge, even for an adult. (And especially for a kid... I remember crying
on Christmas at age 9 when I realized I had missed a few pieces at the bottom
of 6090 Royal Knight's Castle and needed to take it apart to fix it.)

I realized 1 was shipped from Arizona and the other from California. I place

rule? Has anyone else experienced this?

Are they coming from the stores you ordered from?

The only BrickLink legal way for a store to ship from a different location is
if they went to pull the order and realized that they didn’t have the part and
ordered it from another store so you would still get the parts.
I’ve done this for a part in an order when I was short one (damn you brittle
blue). But I don’t think a whole order would work.

There are alternate builds on the back. I can see that that might be the case.
I'm quite sure that the basic build only needs 45. I have extras so I'll
just include them when I put it up for sale. Thank you for the information.

Not exactly sure what you are seeing and where but when I look at items in my
inventory, all the dimension text boxes are empty but the catalogue dimensions
are shown underneath each one. Does this help at all?

Where did you come up with this number? Unless you can confirm via a sealed

and then guess what it might kind of be.

Does LEGO post anywhere what it counts for pieces are?

BrickLink's current inventory came from an "unknown" source, which doesn't
tell us much. But at least it does agree with Peeron's inventory.

  I followed the instructions carefully and built the entire set. When I tore it down, I only had 45 bricks. I then rechecked the instructions and counted out the bricks there and again, did not come to 50. So, the inventory is from someone counting the bricks in a new set?

It does break the rules on BrickLink unless the seller has a business location
in both states. (a very rare occurrence) Sellers here are required to have their
items in hand.

They must have stock, but I don't believe the rules say that the stock has
to be kept at a specific address. There was one case where a seller had stock
in another country which could cause taxation issues, but that doesn't seem
to be the case here.

Also what is the difference in transit time like for those states? As often the
processing time of an order before it is shipped can be multiple days, so orders
from close sellers may take longer than distant ones.

Wait till you find the store that says they are located in PA but they are actually
located and ships from Europe.

Thaks

You can create a wanted list of all the parts. From there, you can mark the
items that you want to be notified on. The downside to this is that you only
get notified if the sellers send out notifications. Meaning that when a seller
list parts to there store, they then have an option to sent out a notification
that parts are available. They don't have to do this if they don't want
to, and some sellers don't so as to not draw in buyers that are only looking
for popular or high demand parts.

I receive payments for my own webshop through the same channel, and while I have
more orders, I have maybe one unsuccesful payment per month there.

I've tried to reach out to the buyers but most have not responded. Two told
me it was indeed intentional, but I still worry about the ones that didn't
respond, as there are quite many of these attempts. This could be a real problem,
right..?! Is it because of that last page that Bricklink has where you have to
(redundantly) confirm your payment? Often when I pay onsite I forget this step
exists and find it an hour later somewhere in my browser tabs.. but as it is
mostly American users, it could be because of sales tax changing the buyer's
mind, too.. I really have no idea. And even in the best case that all were somehow
intentional, it was still a lot of time wasted for the buyers.

I received a reply from a user that had multiple failed payment entries in my
list:

" I attempted to check out and purchase an item from your Bricklink store using
Stripe. However, it declined my card multiple times - I would guess due to it
being an international purchase. I ended up purchasing the item from another
Bricklink seller, so I don’t know whether Stripe would have allowed me to complete
the purchase if I had tried again after notifying my bank that it was an authorized
purchase."

It's pretty much how PayPal works on many other sides. Maybe the problem
is applying the PayPal paradigm to Stripe payments?

I should add though: I don't have a credit card, I've only paid onsite
here using PayPal, so I don't actually know if Stripe creditcard payments
on Bricklink also work with that extra step or not. Just the fact that it keeps
saying the sessions expired reminded me of how I forget to confirm PayPal payments.
I've never seen that extra step on other websites, so I tend to forget to
complete it. (Actually, Bricklink also doesn't have that extra step when
paying the monthly fees)

The tax rate is not given.

And the VAT amount given is wrong when the order has a Credit Coupon.

Robert from BrickStore tried to make a calculation to get the correct values:

Actual payment in PayPal is 31.45€

I signaled this problem in ticket 165-25B79479-0019 - dated 19 JAN 2020 !

That's now 2 years ago.

Still "Waiting for an agent" or something like this.

Anyway Russell told me it's in their Jira. I trust him.

PayPal has a friction-less mode (sometimes) that says "we recognize you
on this device", and tries to make the process of completing a payment easier.
You can turn it off, somewhere in the PayPal settings, if you would prefer to
enter the password every time.

Nita Rae

Do you know where it is cause i can't find that one specifically
I have disabled the autopayments

the settings are found here.

In your PayPal settings you can turn off automated login - that is why this is
happening.

Why is there a "Remaining Qty" of 1 although I set Have "3" and Want "3" for
the crane section in my wanted list. Also the other marked figures do not meet
my expectation.

Can anybody explain how the number in the "buy-wanted-list" panel are calculated?

My guess: when you don’t set a wanted quantity, it’s at 0 but it’s understood
as 1… and the same things happens when Want - Have = 0, it’s still shown as 1.
IOW, you “can’t” want 0, it’s at least 1.

But the lot disappears¹ when you’re actually searching (click Apply).

(¹ or the value is shown as 0 if the left box is checked.)

Not sure about brick store, but if you want to consolidate repeat lots go to
your inventory, search my inventory, select non-unique and go, this will show
repeat lots and from there you can manually adjust and delete repeats.

"it’s one of the more expressed peeves that shoppers make here. Speaking as a buyer, it’s a pain in
the gluteus maximus browsing such inventory. "

I strongly dislike when I go to a store and they have 547 lots on my wanted list
and only 5 are unique, 175 lots of the same part.

That too. Good point, Doug
