| 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

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.

| 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..

If I was the buyer and I wanted to save money by not having tracking, I'm

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

if that's a conscious rule that bricklink has decided, sounds like they are

What is reasonable to charge the buyer and what is not? Example:

2. Paypal fees have gone higher lately.
3. Shipping, I often get 2 quotes (USPS/UPS), but that takes time to go to the

bionicle
and I'm just doing the technic while my wife handles the minifigs.
I'm not putting them live until they all are ready, so maybe a couple of
weeks, but I am going to let those that subscribe to my store have advanced notice
by at least a day before wanted lists go out.
My hope is that it will be close to 300,000 parts (or more).
If older stuff is on your wanted list, maybe click to receive updates from my
store.
Using rebrickable as an idea (again, only uploaded plates, slopes, bricks and
baseplates), I have 70+% of 30 or so Castle sets, space sets (not as high a %
complete because I haven't done wedges or modified stuff yet) and a fair
number of pirate sets.
if you're super curious about a specific set, I can check my rebrickable
file for you.

I could guess but probably never be certain. I can say that I 100% remember
getting this set:
I was completely blown away by how huge and amazing it was, that was a special
Christmas. Honestly makes me wonder if I am spoiling my kids now.
I dug out all the parts about 10 years ago and put it together again, I kind
of want to do a search for it again. Its one of those sets (along with the forestmen
ones) that really just bring me back.

A rather large domestic ($50 USD) order was confirmed by a completely new buyer,
but then 30 minutes later the buyer made an order cancel request, citing the
reason under, "System Problem", with details "urgent buy, cannot wait for the
pending order". Bricklink says that buyer remorse or finding cheaper prices is
not a valid reason for canceling this order, and this is probably the case here,

But actually, I don't have to charge tax to USA buyers and that's legal
cause I'm in Canada. I work for a 50 year old company of sporting goods.
We only sell to Canada and USA. When a USA buyer buys from the website, they
are NEVER charged taxes and can check out with the purchase price and shipping
is the only thing added. We don't charge taxes and leave it to the boarder
and the buyer to pay the taxes if it's needed.
|
Dosnt the buyer pay the tax need thru bricklink now tho. Even tho the seller
isn’t required to collect it bricklink now is required to and as such the buyer
has to pay bricklink whenever they purchase thru bricklink (or any site that
deals in sales volume over x amount of dollars) so technically you wouldn’t be
collecting the sales tax but bricklink would on behalf of the buyer.
|
Yes maybe your right... But can't a BrickLink admin tell us about these
things and help their customers, (Us Sellers who pay their bills.), what we
need to change to make it all work out???
I'm afraid to use PayPal now because of sellers being scammed and screwed
by buyers who lie and PayPal gives them their money back and the seller loses
the item and shipping!!!
|
I do agree that for parties involved there should be better info given. As for
PayPal I’ve used it for about 7.5k transactions and haven’t been scammed once
yet. We typically only hear of the horror stores but buyers can file claims pretty
much any way they pay. I’ve actually had someone try to scam me on PayPal but
PayPal actually stepped in and protected me from the buyer and I didn’t have
to give any refunds
|
Yes I have a great reputation with PayPal and they have always sided with me...
but I shouldn't have to fight, worry and stress about that stuff. So it's
easier for my life to just not. I don't have to sell to USA either. And
Canada post already killed my overseas business cause of increased prices. 😔
|
You should see if you have a chit chats near you. If you use them you can ship
stuff fully tracked overseas for as little as $10 to some countries

| Bricklink is in the US though, and that's where the transaction takes place.
Your choices seem to be, ship to the US and allow them to tax their citizens
based on their laws, or don't ship to the US..
eBay has started collecting tax on Canadian purchases as well, so I'm sure
Bricklink is not far behind.

Eventually we will rent it out when we are not there, until we move.
Now, I sit in a small but amazing cottage and just sort bulk lego with my dogs.
