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,

[M=cty616]
[M=cty644]
[M=cty830]

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

I thought it was strange that col309 would get a new head that wasn't more
special than that.

No problem at all and no need for an apology. You summarized the changes very
well that need to be made.
I entered the change requests for the minifig inventories. I don't know how
to remove a PCC from a part - please do that for us.
I also cannot add the 3626bpx302 image to 3626cpx302 because the upload script
tells me that it is too small... Is there a larger version somewhere on the server?
Kind regards,
Matthias

OMG, you guys have no idea what goes on behind the scenes here. Every inventory change request is looked over by a committee of 12 people (they're all dressed in black robes and hoods, so I have no idea who they are). We have a video conference and they consider the request and then sort of make sounds like hmmm and ahem and then they hand down a decision. And if I get it wrong, then they appoint someone to frown at me. It's quite dreadful, I tell you.

Comments from Submitter:
Set clearly does not include two green cloths. Am deleting one of them - not sure which to delete, but it makes more sense to delete the blanket since the cloth is used as a rug.
The fruit bowl brick comes in dark pink in 4 sets and in pink in only one set (this one). BrickLink pictures of both colors look similar. I suggest the pink image is removed from BL. High-quality photos of the set here:

The '92 catalog still shows the multi-tree. The '94 SAH catalog shows
the single tree and is where the alternate BL catalog image came from.

After further consideration, which always seems to do me good, I believe I have
figured out what's going on here. The original version included three tree
parts (these parts were only released in 1990-1991). A re-release around 1992
(or perhaps later) replaced three tree parts with the single trunk part, but
they never bothered to update the part count to 41 parts.
So what actually needs to happen is that the set needs to be corrected to how
it originally appeared (3 tree parts) and the single tree stump needs to be changed
to an alternate.

Comments from Submitter:
This one's a little complicated.

So the part count for this set, even in the catalog photo of the set with the
single tree trunk, is 43. Problem is, the set with the single trunk doesn't
have 43 parts. Adding 2 parts tree trunk with branches and 1 part tree top with
branches and deleting the single trunk would get the part count to the
correct total of 43.
However, as I said, an official set photo exists from a catalog with the single
trunk (and the part count of 43). The single trunk first appears in this set
and it predates any other appearance by two years. I doubt the single trunk
ever came in this set, but it's possible.
I'm leaving the single trunk in, therefore, and adding the parts seen in
other versions of the set. I'm open, of course, to input on this.

| 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.

Why not turn off the need for a bypass password for any stores that are not using

shipping anyways. It would help reduce the restriction errors buy quite a bit
and help sellers by not making them wonder why their sales have dropped off suddenly.
|
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.

I thought the restriction errors are only occurring in stores with instant checkout

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!).

Why not turn off the need for a bypass password for any stores that are not using
instant checkout since they are going to need to manually send an invoice/calculate
shipping anyways. It would help reduce the restriction errors buy quite a bit
and help sellers by not making them wonder why their sales have dropped off suddenly.

I thought the restriction errors are only occurring in stores with instant checkout
and/or instant invoice enabled.

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 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.

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.

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.

Going on a limb here, but I suspect most sellers that have access to IBAN will

well the problem with Paypal is also its Buyer Protection, its way to easy to

1/ place order
2/ choose non-tracable shipping

It's not buyer protection that is being abused, exactly.
Under many countries laws (and international trade laws) a seller is responsible
for ensuring goods get to the buyer.
It makes no difference if a buyer opts for insurance, they are entitled to replacement
goods or a refund if something goes missing or is damaged in transit.
I never send anything that costs more than the postage without using insured
and signed-for services; only ever had one item damaged but it was over £600,
refunded by the carrier..
To be safe, allow for tracking & insurance in your shipping costs if you don't
want to bear the risk.
ps. There is no way I would use an international bank payment for a small purchase,
as the fees from the UK to somewhere using a different current are extortionate.

Read the post you replied to again - tracking is too expensive. BrickSwede was
saying he wants either PayPal+tracking or neither, because of a risk of false
accusation. In practise, this would usually boil down to neither, since tracking
usually adds some €10 to the shipping cost.
However, I ship without tracking all the time and accept PayPal payments. In
reality it's really no big deal. I've never once had a malicious buyer.

The idea of quickly knowing the seller's feedback while shopping the part,
may have some merit, I'm undecided on that. But anything less than 100% in
the warning color of red, I don't feel is right. I know so many fantastic
BL sellers with less than 100% that I've spent large sums of money with over
the years, it just wouldn't be fair to them. In fact, I'm of the crowd
(very small crowd  ) that feel that too much emphasis is put on a member's
feedback rating.
But keep the ideas coming. There's always way to better the site.

I don't really have to worry about that, since anyone who wants US buyers
pretty much has to offer Paypal. But what I miss now is the feature that I very
briefly was able to enjoy, where I could search by stores that accepted _regular_
Paypal. The last time I tried to use that, all I could select was "Instant Checkout",
which just compounds the problem of Onsite Paypal. I don't load Bricklink
on the computer I use to do financial stuff, and I don't do financial stuff
on the various devices I use to shop Bricklink. Kinda hard to make either of
those work under those circumstances.

As already said, it’s not a zone problem, it’s a currency problem.
If you (as a seller) make a list of EUR using countries, you’ll block UK (for
instance) buyers with a bank account in Euro who wouldn’t have any problem with
SEPA bank transfers.
On the other hand, if you make a list of SEPA countries (so including UK), you’ll
bother buyers (like yorbrick) who can’t or don’t want to make bank transfers
in EUR.
What you want is a “buyer can/wish to pay in EUR inside SEPA” which is different
from “buyer is in a SEPA country.”

Would you prefer to get this order paid by IBAN or Paypal?
|
Going on a limb here, but I suspect most sellers that have access to IBAN will
prefer that. It saves them the PayPal fee, and the buyer is left with zero buyers
protection.
Since it is a direct-to-an-account transfer, no VISA, MASTERCARD or any other
credit card protection will help either.
While a seller should be able to choose payment options, PayPal should always
be one of them.
|
well the problem with Paypal is also its Buyer Protection, its way to easy to
abuse...
1/ place order
2/ choose non-tracable shipping
3/ recieve goods
4/ claim goods was never shipped
if there was a way on bricklink to automatically choose shipping based on payment
method it wouyld be great. I dont mind being paid via Paypal but you´ll have
to pay the €20 tracing fee on top of that €10 shipping...

Heh. I hadn't ever thought of that, but it does sound inconvenient to have
a Paypal account that's flush with Euros if you can't find anyone in
the EU who accepts Paypal or anyone outside the EU who accepts Euros.

No need for Bricklink to keep up with politics that way, no dilemmas that way,

it is verry simple , UK citizens voted for the Brex-it not the EU citizens .
I have recived sepa/bank payments from Denmark , USA , china , Hongkong it take
max 2 days to arive . all buyers told me that the fee is a lot lower than the
paypal fee . if a buyer don`t will buy from a EU store who don`t like to sell
with paypal payment move on to an other shop , there are a lot other stores .

This has nothing to do with Brexit. The UK was never part of the Eurozone, it
never adopted the Euro. We are currently still part of the EU. If a seller says
that paypal is not allowed for buyers from EU countries, then it applies to me
and other UK buyers, and buyers from Denmark, Sweden, etc, who are also not part
of the Eurozone but are in the EU.
But yes, it is simple to move on to another store (after least favouriting the
ones that will only take bank transfer). Of course, once we leave the EU, those
stores will still be on my least favourites list and unlikely to come off even
if I can then use PayPal with them again.

Can we use short names for the payment method. Currently for example Stripe

It would be even better if we had to option to display the micro tag number,

But I still agree with that suggestion! I don't see any reason to pay PayPal
fee when bank transfer is very easy and fast within EU (SEPA, IBAN). Buyers from
EU choose mostly PayPal but are willing to switch to bank transfer when I ask
them. So it's not a general problem.

I for one would not want to write off such a large proportion of my customers.
But I feel if you wish to, you should be allowed to, not by choosing who you

You either want the cake or you dont, there is little point in picking out the

contain afew extra calories.
What I still cannot understand is why accepting paypal from outside the EU with
all its fees is good enough for you, but within the EU it isnt?

I have also thought of not accepting PayPal within the EU. If it will make buyers
choose IBAN instead, fees are avoided and everyone wins. As far as I know many
Dutch sellers already don't allow PayPal for domestic transactions and that
makes total sense. If some wish to scale that up to EU level, I don't see
any reason why they shouldn't be able to do that.
Either way, maybe you're just posting out of curiosity, then this discussion
makes sense of course. But ultimately, it is not necessary for you to understand
the reason in order to be OK with it (or even support it). If I want to eat ice-cream
only on mondays, I can do so even though the reasons don't make sense to
other people. The way I see it, this is a suggestion that increases Bricklink
functionality, and it is clear that some people want to use it, so let's
do it.
Random goof: "5.4 PayPal and your customers. In representations or in public
communications to your customers, you shall not mischaracterise or disparage
PayPal as a payment method." So, if you want a seller's PayPal account to
be terminated, ask them to confirm a negative aspect on PayPal - either answer
will be a breach of the agreement

| You are describing it as some kind of apocalyptic scenario when in fact it is
the normal way of doing business Companies worldwide use different prices,
conditions, product ranges for different markets that they target - or refuse
to target. There are good and bad sides to that, but the reality is that they
can do this freely. It's not like you can only sign up to become a seller
on Bricklink if you vow to cater the entire world.
In fact, a shop is allowed to refuse you, personally. I have been blocked by
one of this countries major websites, Bol.com, for ordering too much that was
on offer, even though other people were allowed to buy that. I made a call to
this government consumer rights helpdesk and they told me this is in fact allowed,
and that it only is discrimination when a seller will categorically refuse a
group of people based on ethnicity or religion.
Maybe there are grey areas or slipperly slopes, but when it comes to country-based
policies, it is understood that the considerations are practical/financial and
not personal discrimination of individuals. Although there are also sellers on
Bricklink who choose to boycot certain countries.

If sellers should be allowed to exclude buyers base solely based of their country,

There is no "forcing" of course, a buyer can simply go elsewhere.
But it forcing in the sense that if I wish to buy from the given store, I am
restricted to a certain payment type. A restriction I would not have if I lived
elsewhere.
It is ridiculous of course, that my "next" examples will ever happen.
But if the discussion turns to "principles", then there is no difference between
restrictions made on location compared to the other restrictions.
And there are more payment options than PayPal of course, so allowing that (but
not X and Y) also technically "restricts" I suppose, but it is silly to argue
that "everything" should be allowed, no one is really claiming that. The argument
is that saying that certain countries will not have the same options as everyone
is wrong. PayPal should always be allowed.
BL's "only" restriction is the age limit of 18. But this is a legal exception
which we must have for things to work.
And yes, I know of course that some stores only sell to some countries, but that
is not really a part of the issue here.
IBAN is quite good for the sellers of course, but it is a demerit to the buyers.
If we are to give up all buyer protection, then at least we should get something
in return.
Oh, and a transfer from one account to another - unless it is very large - will
initially avoid any taxation system and accounting out there. There is no bill
sent to the buyer per se, so the bank will have no information that the money
transferred is in relations to invoice this and that.
A seller can thus relatively easy hide the money transferred from accounting
and thus taxation purposes.
Now I am not saying that our esteemed BL seller will do such things, but why
create a tool and option for the ones that do fall prey to the temptation of
avoiding taxes (if only a wee bit)?
If we allow restrictions on payment, shipping, insurance, what bricks can be
bought etc. made on location (more than we already do), I fear we are opening
a hornets nest, and the buyers will pay the price for it. (And in the end of
course, it will affect the sellers).

fee when bank transfer is very easy and fast within EU (SEPA, IBAN). Buyers from
EU choose mostly PayPal but are willing to switch to bank transfer when I ask
them. So it's not a general problem.

Paypal allows order process on the spot, while IBAN could take a few days and
is affected by public holidays. This would require just a rough fee of 5%. Usually
it is worth all the money.
Disabling Paypal for EU members will get you less people willing to place an
order. Also Paypal protects buyers. Getting refund for IBAN, in case of any
troubles with a seller (not shipping, not respondint, etc), is a nightmare. Usually
myself, as buyer, IBAN is treated as a higher risk due to that. This will also
cause orders to be processed slower as you need some time (days) before you can
confirm you've received a payment. From buyer point of view, sometimes, it
is essential to get bricks ASAP. This will no longer be possible with IBAN-only
option.
So please go ahead if you don't need buyers money.

| | The BL accepted payment method settings has two options:
1. "Within My Country I Accept Payment By"
2. "Internationally I Accept Payment By"
Please add the possibility to exclude Paypal for EU as accepted method.
Perhaps with the methods "Paypal (EU)" and "Paypal (Worldwide)".
