Part No: 30375  Name: Torso Mechanical, Battle Droid
* 
30375 Torso Mechanical, Battle Droid
Parts: Minifigure, Body Part {Lime}

I have a 30375 that isn't quite lime, or isn't in the range of shades
I would normally associate with lime. Here it is with x118 that I have verified
(as far as I am able, by comparing it with other pieces) as lime. Is this just
a normal color variation? The part in question doesn't seem to come in any
other greenish colors. Looking at the color guide online it seems to resemble
"neon green" which I'm not sure is an actual color:

  When I issue a full refund does the inventory go back into my inventory automatically?

No you need to follow the steps of the order cancelation process.

As Brickwilbo writes, you have to cancel the order in order for the inventory
to go back. I think there's a good reason for this - you might refund the
order for a variety of reasons, including the order getting lost in the mail.
You wouldn't want that going back to your inventory.

  I got an 1x4 brick but i cannot find the satisfying color in the catalog. I would
say it is either medium brown or dark nougat both do not exist in the catalog
can someone help with identifying the color

the other colors on the picture are reddish brown (left crate) medium nougat
(right crate) and dark orange (slope)

Is that a sprue mark (pip) on the long side of that brick? AFAIK a Lego brick
would have one on the short side (old) or on the top (newer)

  Spellcheck loves to tell you the game of a figure, part or code isn’t a word.
I assume the dictionary is local to devices so maybe don’t allow spellcheck to
overwrite key search fields?

Maybe I'm not understand what you are suggesting, but spell check is a function
of the browser, not the Bricklink.

You can turn it off for form fields (as well as for forms in general) by using
the attribute 'spellcheck="false"'. Whether the browser obeys is another
question, but I think most of them do.

Sellers (those who have enabled onsite payments) are not paying your taxes at
all, they are simply enabling BrickLink to collect and remit those taxes on their
behalf as required by law for sales in many states.

  Please stop blocking my access to the parts I need. I am extremely annoyed that
you won't allow me to buy items from so many sellers I need to because they
aren't paying my taxes. They "don't support orders that ship to Massachusetts".
You are literally screwing up my access to rare parts that are only available
on this site. You are hurting part of this hobby for me. STOP IT! I am only
a buyer and not a seller. I understand you must be going through some growing
pains trying to get all the sellers to pay taxes, but don't take it out on
the buyers. Seriously stop blocking my access to the parts I need. Not allowing
me to ship items to my home from sellers who are willing to ship them to me is
a legitimate reason for me to be pissed. You are forcing me to go buy clone
parts off site when I don't really want to as an immediate direct result
of this action.

  Well, you will be fine as long as you offer an onsite payment method. Paypal
can be used onsite and offsite. I don't believe that you can offer offsite
methods as a new seller anyway.

That's correct - I think 2017 was the cutoff from what I've read here
in the forums.

I switched to a seller account just last year and never had a choice off onsite
vs. offsite - just PayPal, Stripe, or both.

I don't know what the effort involved might be, if it's minimal it might
be worth it regardless of whether they sell frequently or not.

We might have spent more effort talking about it!

  This seems like more of a request to allow every possible part
ever made into the BL catalog for the sake of catalog "completeness" as opposed
to an effort to provide a method to sell and buy something.

  Do you have Marketing emails checked? This is a new setting as of last year sometime.
The default setting is OFF:

Mine was off indeed, but I have to say, this doesn't exactly strike me as
a Marketing email.

  This was an email that came from blservice@ bricklink . com

Double check your spam folder as it looked to be a mass blast.

Not a chance - there is no blocking on my mail servier for blservice or bricklink
- in fact all mails are coming through as normal although late, not even the
***SPAM*** thing in front of orders and additions. Maybe only went to the USA?

I'm in the USA and I didn't get it - not in Spam either

  Trans-Medium Blue does fluoresce, as has been demonstrated here. But I'm
not sure the intention of putting "Neon" in a color name was originally intended
to mean "Fluorescent". Those color names were made long before LEGO was telling
us color names and I'm not sure LEGO has ever marketed the fluorescent nature
of those colors. I think Trans-Neon Green and Trans-Neon Orange may have been
named such because of how they look in regular light. In normal light Trans-Medium
Blue does not remind people of a neon sign.

I think Lego *did* market the fluorescent nature of trans-neon green at the very
least -- look at any M-tron box and you'll see the trans-neon green elements
glowing. They didn't quite play it up as much with Blacktron II, which uses
the same color.
