  I recently ordered 6 technic hubs with clips bb0961c01 from a German seller
and received 6 hubs with screws bb1277c01. I contacted the seller who says it
is my fault for ordering the incorrect part. I have sent him pictures of what
I ordered and what he sent me and he still says I was wrong as he checked his
items with the inventory when he parted out the sets. I believe it was set 42129,
as this set was released in two versions, but the catalog and inventory does
not show this. He refuses to accept any responsibility or to check his remaining
stock.
In the meantime I have items I do not want as they are not suitable for some
of my mocs and unable to get any replies from the seller. I did NSS him but have
removed that and now no further contact from him. I am tempted to make a PayPal
claim.

Why would you remove the NSS? You could always go through who you paid with.

Just my opinion here, but 258,000 parts is a lot to have in bags. In my eyes
it would be very inefficient to pull an order. With that amount of inventory,
you should be bringing in enough $ to purchase some type on bin system. No one
says you have to buy 100 of them all at once. 3-4 per month would get you going
in the right direction. We can debate all day on which bin system is the best,
but anything is better than nothing. I use mostly Akro Mils, but have a few other
brands/sizes in my store to fit where needed. And I do use some bag storage for
large quantity lots. The bins can get pricey, but worth it in the end.

  Hi everyone first time poster here

I’m new to having a store and I just sold my White Boba Fett minifigure sw0275.
I listed the item as Used but in great condition. Now that it’s arrived, the
buyer is saying it’s not up to standard due to swing wear on the arms, yellowing
and some black marks. He’s asking what I should do to fix this but I’m not sure
what to do. Below are photos of the minigure. There was also some issues with
shipping so should I offer him a partial refund or something? Any insight would
be greatly appreciated.

That is very pricey minifigure. You should have listed any flaws in the description
field. Not saying what you sent was bad. It looks like a decent used torso to
me, but for that kind of money you really need to be specific. In saying that,
the buyer probably should have asked some questions before the purchase. I know
I would have.

Did you purchase this set as an investment? Or to build for your own collection?

  I've been selling on Bricklink for about a year and have and good months
and bad months. But I have never where had just one order in a months time until
August. I have good feedback and ship orders quickly. I'm adding new inventory
add new inventory almost every day and have over 58k in parts with almost 8k
in lots. I price everything a the 6 month average. What am I doing wrong or
what else can I do?

You're not doing anything wrong, just slow this time of year. You're
store has clear terms and good shipping prices. The orders will come. Keep adding.

Also remember there is a lot of competition out there. The more lots and parts
you have the more you will stand out from the others.

  Hi,

I made a purchase and had received a package addressed to me but it had someone
else’s order. I got in contact with the seller who asked me to ship the package
to the correct recipient, I did so and provided the seller with the tracking
so they can let the other affected party know. The seller said they would refund
shipping costs and after an extra message they did.

My problem now is that it’s been over a week since the package was received on
my end and I still don’t have my order from the seller. I have messaged them
a few times and they keep promising they will giveme a tracking number and they
don’t. I am in the US and seller is in the US as well.

Do I keep contacting this seller in hopes that I get my package, or is there
anything else that I should do?

Maybe they are trying to figure out where your order went. If they sent you someone
else's order, its a good chance they sent your order to them. And maybe the
other customer is not as understanding as you. That's not exactly an excuse
though. The seller should be communicating with you every step of the way.

More lots and more parts equal more sales, generally speaking. Personally, I
have double the amount of parts than what I had last year at this time, but my
sales have not doubled. They have gone up some, but not to where I had hoped.

With the small amount of inventory you have, it may be best to discount your
parts 10, 20, or 30% and try to move as much as you can that way. It may end
up being a bit more work shipping the orders, but then at least you get more
$$ for your stuff.

@legoranger00...Im glad you changed your mind on this. Over my 3 years of selling
Ive had to buy from other stores to fill an order or correct a mistake a handful
of times. Once just last week. One day it will happen to you.

If the store does it correctly, you wouldn't even know you were shipping
to their customer unless they told you. All they need to do is change the shipping
address when they checkout. No real reason to ask "can you ship to this address
instead?"

Good to hear you're doing well...

Don't neglect your post surgery meds to stave off clotting and to keep your
blood thinned. The ol'ticker needs as much help as you can give it, now.

Thanks for the advice. They have me on all sorts of stuff.

At the moment just taking orders. No adding for another week or two.

I also have wife and daughter to help with the hundreds of orders I hope to get.
That's not going to happen, but one can hope.
