Not happening. Sorry.
For even suggesting it, I'm inclined to reject all your future inventory
change requests.

57560pb01 is listed in the catalogue with a base colour either as "Trans Light-Blue" or "Glow in the dark opaque" Looking at pictures of 8539 I am fairly certain that "Trans Light-Blue" is an error of original submitter.
See https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/bionicle/images/c/c3/Nocturn.png/revision/latest?cb=20130727013741
Too ease up on inventories I guess "Glow in dark opaque" could be listed as alternate item

Also this image which clearly shows glow in the dark parts. I will submit a few
more changes if this one comes through.

| That is a good point. Perhaps, it should be disabled initially with the option
to allow it to be enabled even if one isn't using auto checkout. Otherwise
there will just be a lot of headaches and unnecessary delays.

In my opinion the feature of the bypass password is to allow a seller some buyers
(selected and approved by the seller) to place an order although they don't
meet store terms. Since every store has its own reasons for having certain terms,
I don't think it is a good idea to just disable all the configurable store
terms. Sellers use these to set up a store that is manageable in their environment
(private life, other job, easy access to shipping, etc).
However, I DO think a lot of sellers are not fully aware of the consequences
of their store settings, resulting in the lower sales and/or frustrated buyers.
As a buyer I think it is always possible (if seller allows contact) to ask for
a bypass password if an order doesn't comply with store terms.

Okay, I've checked every single set in which 3626cpx302 appears by set photos
and PCCs in instructions. The head is wrongly inventoried in 8 minifigures and
this is a result of the combination of two factors: (a) the poor-quality photo
for 3626cpx302 and (b) the incorrect assignment of a PCC to that part (and, of
course, inattention).
This head came in sets from 2012-2014 and had the PCC 4259916 (except in one
set, 850839, for which the PCC was 6044001):
There was a break in 2015, then this head appeared in sets from 2016-2018 and
had the PCC 6100217:
The heads don't really look that similar upon reasonably close examination
(see attached photos).
Since you first discovered this error, I invite you to submit the changes because
you deserve the credit. If you'd prefer me to make the changes directly,
then please let me know. The following changes need to be made:
First, this head needs to be inventoried in each of these figures:
[M=cty748]
[M=cty641]
[M=cty616]
[M=cty644]
[M=cty830]
[M=cty836]
Second, the PCC 6100217 needs to be removed from this head:
and applied to this head:
Finally, the photo for this head:
needs to be replaced with this photo:
I don't want to over-apologize, but I really did treat your requests poorly
and I hope you will resubmit them.
I'd like to publicly thank Russell for learning me how to do LEGO investigations
like this one. I also thank axaday for submitting the correct head to the catalog
(two years after it was first released!).

I am now looking into every set in which this figure appears in an attempt to
sort out the errors. This could take a little time.

Okay, I rechecked the set instructions to verify and TLG definitely uses the
PCC 6100217 for the reddish brown color lined head (which is what led me astray
in the first place with this figure).
It is possible that it was never used for the black lined head . . . someone
will need to go back and check through the instructions for the sets in which
the two versions of the head appears to make sure.

I have done you a disservice by rejecting your requests so quickly and I apologize.
I was confused about what was going on with this head. I looked at the PCC
for set
and it matched the PCC of the head inventoried in the figure.
This appears to be a mildly tangled issue which likely involves the PCCs, so
nice catch on your part. Submit whatever requests necessary to get it straightened
out and I apologize again.
This picture definitely needs to be replaced:

| Thanks for the suggestion, and it's helped a little to slow people down.
But it's only enforced for that shipping method. It's not like the
master setting where they're notified that they haven't reached the minimum,
and blocked from checking out. And it doesn't stop people from checking
out via manual invoicing.

You can with the new instant checkout shipping settings.
| | I don't mind small orders ($2+) in the USA, but international orders are
such a pain that I dread anything under $40. Now the customs forms are a minor
hassle, but buyers often don't understand English well, are annoyed at me
over the sky-high USPS rates (as if I can change them), and if I make a mistake
and have to ship a missing part, it costs a fortune.
I don't want to shut off international sales altogether because international
resellers place orders I love. But orders where the postage costs more than
the parts just aren't worth it.

It seems like a far fetched and inefficient way to make money, going through
all the negativity of arguing with the seller, claiming through PayPal.. no person
- decent or otherwise - will be interested in that hassle, unless the order
is valuable. But in this case you would likely ship it with tracking anyway,
and the relative cost of the tracking would be much less.
|
I know someone who got scammed, once, in a way that tracking probably wouldn't
prevent. It was for a set, and I suspect those are more likely to be targeted
by scam buyers because they're easier to flip afterwards. I heard someone
ask advice on whether to sell sets or parts at an AFOL event, and the response
was that parts are more profitable, but sets will always sell. Now, I just peeked
in both of your stores, and while you have a much higher part to set ratio, his
sets are only about half a case of CMFs from a couple years ago. I didn't
browse his parts, but the account is only two years old, and the store has only
34 sales. Either this seller has actually been hit with a scam already, or it's
just a case of being new-seller cautious.
