| in theory, bricklink could ask the registered user for proof of their age. Not
sure if that violates any country's laws, but it would settle the matter.
It could still be a child operating a parent's account of course

BUT
I highly, highly suspect I'm talking to a child. I've reported the member
(its a new account, zero feedback) and blocked them already. They are moderately
hostile, so perhaps I'll even get a neg for this, but again, it is what it
is I guess.
But what I'm wondering is when you report for age how on earth bricklink
substantiates this? I mean, there's no way to prove it right?
Do you just have to get a few reports of the same thing and then if it walks
and quacks like a duck its a duck?
Just curious is anyone knows or your experiences
Also Hi all, its been a while, focusing on other projects.

| I hope I'm not unique. I hope I'm not the only one that is willing to
take responsibility for a decision I made knowing full well.
I know you're a big time seller, but if you, as a buyer, made the decision
to ask a seller just to put something in the mail without tracking, just because
it wasn't worth it to buy with the cost of tracking and they agreed. If
it didn't show up, you'd make a seller stick to the letter of the law,
and refund you?
a cheap sticker at 30 cents in a euro envelope because tracking would be 4,95
for instance. You'd make them pay you the 1,30?

Sorry, but this is a very obsolete point of view.
Also - you forget:
* people who can't understand fine printed terms,
* terms not written in the buyer language,
* people who could but clicked too fast by error, or because it would've
been TL;DR
Again, and for the last 10 years at the minimum, this "I have the right to
take my chance to save $1 but lose $15" is completely wrong in many Countries.
The seller can decide:
* to take the risk (fine in 99.9999% of cases),
* to protect him paying for insurance,
* or to require this to be paid.

This is a strawman, you keep putting this on the seller. I can still choose
not to say "you have to reimburse me", it's almost like being responsible
(as a buyer) for my own choices is somehow criminal.
So, say you have a 30 cent sticker that you can mail to me, because it's
paper, for a euro. No tracking.
I say thanks, here's 1,30
Now, it doesn't come, lost in the mail.
It's only 1,30, so I'm not even going to mention it.
OMG, I just exercised a right not to exercise a right. wow.
This isn't about the seller tricking me, this isn't about fine print.
the seller probably would refund me, but I, as the buyer, don't have to ask
them to make that choice because I'm a big boy.

Nobody pays something with the opportunity "to reveice it with 9/10 chances".

| I ship too without tracking on small orders and if I, as a seller, got a message
from a buyer, I'd would be responsible.
But my reply would be as a buyer. If "I" asked for cheaper shipping
knowing it couldn't be tracked and it didn't show up, I acknowledge that
they did me a favour and it would be on me.
Now, would I love for my buyers to feel the same way, sure, but the idea that
I can have a right (to get my product) that I have no choice but to enforce is
silly..

This is simply obsolete and even illegal in many places.

an order and have 90% chance to receive it! (and agree)".

A few months ago, a placed an order from a highly rated Danish seller. The order
amounted to 434.69 DKK (roughly $62.82 USD), and was shipped February 20th. It's
been over three months and the order is nowhere to be seen (tracking was not
included on the order), and the seller and I both agree that the item was likely
lost or stolen. The seller sent photographic proof that he wrote my mailing address
correctly, so none of this is his fault.
We're considering a 50% refund as the fairest option, but I'm curious
about what you all think.
Thanks!

If I was the buyer and I wanted to save money by not having tracking, I'm
taking MY chances.
Regardless of the rights of the buyer in the sellers country, you can 'have'
a right and not exercise it.
if I'm holding the seller responsible when I'm trying to save money,
the seller may simply choose not to give me a choice in the matter the next time.
And I will always want the right to choose.
I would reply, thank you for the offer of the 50%, but I took my chances in sending
it uninsured. That's just me though

Your complaint is that bricklink doesn't allow people to buy lego on credit
through paypal, like they do through ebay?
if that's a conscious rule that bricklink has decided, sounds like they are
doing it to protect sellers. If you're buying on credit, maybe that's

It’s a bit complicated. I didn’t reply since you mentioned there isn’t any numbering

case you could just open them to be on the safe side. If it’s only partially
