Thanks for reaching out to the community. Some of us have to manually determine
the sales tax we need to collect and it would be great if the "credit"
column on the orders received page could be a different colour/have a border
to better distinguish it from the "add. charge 2" column to its left.
This will help prevent accidental entries of the sales tax amount in the credit
column and should (it seems) be a simple change.

YES YES! The log from the other site is so helpful to narrow down discrepancies

|
| | |
If I'm interpreting this correctly, and I'll verify with CRA today, BrickLink
wasn't supposed to be collecting this tax on sellers who were already registered
for GST/HST and we can request a refund not from the CRA, but from BrickLink
and BrickLink will not be able to reclaim this from the CRA because it was an
error in how they collected.
|
As there has been no update from BrickLink, the CRA recommendations are that
the GST/HST remittance is to be completed without reclaiming the taxes paid on
commissions via input tax credit as they do not believe BrickLink was allowed
to charge taxes, and that BrickLink is to provide refunds on the taxes paid directly
to us (likely a credit on a future commission invoice).
I'm not sure if surprising is the right word, but it's definitely disappointing
that BrickLink still doesn't have confirmation after over 2 weeks. Nor have
they provided the GST/HST # that they are required to disclose. I understand
that complying with tax requirements around the world isn't easy, but the
total lack of communication from BrickLink/LEGO Group since the initial acknowledgement
is a problem. Many sellers stressed the fact that remittance was due month-end,
and most complete it well before the last possible day to ensure no late payments.

It's very likely to have been caught up as the problem occurred on 10th January.
We have not been able to send international mail in the UK since then until today.
The problem was caused by a ransomware attack on Royal Mail's export systems.
However, I believe that they have been clearing the backlog so it should be on

Thank you, Jonathan. I certainly hope so. I just wish the seller had reached
out to me. I have enquired with them, 2 days ago, about the order but have received
no communication back.

Read the e-mail Invoices, it must be indicated there?
Or ask the sellers?
Warning: if you're brand new here please carefully select the Shops where
you buy, including reading the Feedbak Profile, prefer shops with a certain number

I assume you ordered at shops without instant checkout; wait for the seller to

Here is the photo you requested.
I believe the colors are, from top to bottom, Pearl Dark Gray, Pearl Light Gray
(darker version), and Pearl Light Gray (lighter version)
These all have the marbling of the Pearl colors.
If the OP has a Zamor sphere that is darker, it is most likely still Pearl Light
gray Or Pearl Dark Gray.
Flat silver would not have this marbling effect.

Connect your PayPal account to BrickLink:
https://www.bricklink.com/v2/mystore/payments.page
That way, BrickLink can collect sales tax for orders shipping to California,
and other states that charge sales tax on online orders.
Hope that helps.

Tried just simple warm water soaking but that did not work.

I did break one while trying really hard to get the hip/legs off. So I can see

| | This may work in USA with the way shipping costs are determined by USPS.
It is impossible for Canadian sellers to enable instant check-out, except for
simple cases: mailers up to 400gr.
But mailers work for low value orders shipping inside Canada. Shipping costs
outside Canada are calculated in a very complicated way.
On top of that, there is fuel surcharge that adds up to shipping a parcel (in
Canada or internation) and this changes frequently.
I also ship with ChitChats. I DO NOT HAVE access to hipping tables of ChitChats.
I can just get quotes if I have an address, size and weight of order. So it is
impossible to set up shipping costs with ChitChats.
There is a reason only few Canadian sellers enabled instant check-out and those
who did, have set it up in a very limited way.
|
Does Canada Post or Chit Chats have an API? If so, one could write a program
that, given an address, size, and weight of an order, generates a shipping quote.

Simple -- just fix the 404 error screen at login.
It makes the entire site seem unprofessional and untrustworthy, especially to
new and potential buyers.

| I tried a non-acetone nail polish remover to try to get the expensive blue umbrella
poles off a UCS Tie Interceptor that someone had foolishly glued together. I've
seen this recommended many places, but it actually didn't loosen the glue
and it removed the blue color from the Lego parts. I was a bit sad throwing
a $300 set in the garbage, but what else are you going to do with 90% of a glued
together mess.

but do have the helmet, visor, correct head, torso, hands and legs. Unfortunately,
their heads and hips have been glued so that I can't take the head off nor
turn the head. I also cannot take the leg/hips off.
Tried just simple warm water soaking but that did not work.
I do not know what kind of glue. I am guessing super-glue.
I did break one while trying really hard to get the hip/legs off. So I can see
where it was glued and that the body has the right torso.
Any brilliant thoughts on what to do with them or how to tackle the mysterious
glue?
Thanks in advance for any suggestion.

If it is superglue then acetone, or as it is more commonly known to women, nail
polish remover, should have loosened the glue bonds. I'm unsure, however,
of the effect that acetone would have on LEGO plastic. You should try a small
amount of nail polish remover on the broken figure, if that is the correct glue,
then it should remove it.
Most plastics, however, are glued with the following, obtained by Googling it:
Plastic glue is typically made from volatile organic compounds and is toxic.
The medium viscosity glues are typically made from xylenes and n-butyl acetate,
while liquid glues are made from methyl-ethyl-ketone and ethyl acetate.
If it is plastic glue that fuses two plastics together at the contact points
of the plastic where the glue is applied, then there is no known way of reversing
the fused bonds. You would have to be exceptionally lucky to get usable minifigs
that could be taken apart and reassembled.
You can sell them as a minifigure, but you should list in the description for
the item that they have been glued together.
Cheers ...

It would be great if that glass actually existed for us muggles outside the Lego

I suppose you have to do what was done for set 75980 and put 4 small windows

Do you feel catalog pics are better without shadowing?

I know some people probably have differing opinions but I think the best options
for a catalogue image is one that's has had its background removed (unless
its like an alternate that measures against studs, etc) since it helps to see
that part as best as it can be but that just from me others probably think different

I don't like images where the fig or torso has crooked hands.

Even as a seller, I hate the guesswork when buying, and sometimes the sellers

I prefer the manual invoice for my store. Sometimes I have to package orders
that have fragile parts and need the extra ounces for proper packaging or with
a shipping box. If the buyer does not agree with the shipping cost then they
can cancel the order or don't order in the first place. As long as what is
stated in your terms it seems pretty simple. Looking at other websites for their
shipping costs BL seems fair to me.
|
Also, It is AWESOME not having to do the following:
1) send an invoice
2) figure out shipping cost
3) waiting for payment
It allows orders to be placed one minute, packed the next, and shipped immediately.
All that time saved not having to do multiple steps in between is worth the
nickels or dimes I might be paying extra to ship something and then there are
always orders that are large and only have to go to Zone 1 or 2, so the shipping
savings there offets the shipping costs across the country.
I can't emphasize it enough on how wonderful Instant Checkout is.
|
This may work in USA with the way shipping costs are determined by USPS.
It is impossible for Canadian sellers to enable instant check-out, except for
simple cases: mailers up to 400gr.
But mailers work for low value orders shipping inside Canada. Shipping costs
outside Canada are calculated in a very complicated way.
On top of that, there is fuel surcharge that adds up to shipping a parcel (in
Canada or internation) and this changes frequently.
I also ship with ChitChats. I DO NOT HAVE access to hipping tables of ChitChats.
I can just get quotes if I have an address, size and weight of order. So it is
impossible to set up shipping costs with ChitChats.
There is a reason only few Canadian sellers enabled instant check-out and those
who did, have set it up in a very limited way.
