| | Dear BrickLink members,
In May of this year, the LEGO Group plans to release a new color, and this has
implications for the BrickLink catalog and marketplace. The new color being introduced
is 375 Transparent Black, and we believe it will eventually replace LEGO color
111 Transparent Brown.
As most of you know, the greater fan community has for many years referred to
LEGO color 111 Transparent Brown as "Trans-Black". Up until now, this
name has served us well because there was no official LEGO color known as Transparent
Black. Now that the LEGO Group is introducing a color officially known as Transparent
Black, it will cause alignment problems to have the same name being used for
two different colors.
We anticipate that the introduction of this color will cause some disruptions
over the short term, but we have created a plan of action to minimize those disruptions.
The first thing we will do is change the name of the current Trans-Black color
to "Trans-Brown (Old Trans-Black)". This change is scheduled to
take place at the beginning of April. This will ensure that the name change will
be very noticeable within the catalog, set inventories, BrickLink stores, order
summaries, etc., so that the majority of BrickLink users can adjust to the change.
Next, the new color will be added to the catalog as "Trans-Black (2023)"
to make it very obvious that this is a new color and should not be used for older
set inventories and older parts being listed for sale. This addition is expected
to happen at the beginning of May when set 75346 is released and inventoried:
https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1398124
After a 6-month transition, we will remove the text in parentheses from both
color names. The older color will then be "Trans-Brown", and the
newer color will be "Trans-Black". This will complete the transition.
|
Why not just keep the text in parentheses? Seemed like a reasonable plan going
forward. But why not just keep the text in parentheses instead of removing it
after 6 months.
| |
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The question arises, why have we decided to go the route outlined above rather
than leaving "Trans-Black" aligned to LEGO color 111 Transparent Brown
and creating a new color name for the new LEGO color 375 Transparent Black? There
are several reasons.
First, we want to make sure that we do not create long-term confusion between
these colors, since we believe the new LEGO color 375 Transparent Black will
become the standard color and LEGO color 111 Transparent Brown will become just
another part of the history of the brick system we all know and love. As time
goes by, the older color will not be seen as often and the newer color will be
everywhere. And after what we hope is a relatively short period of time, BrickLink
users will adjust naturally to the change.
Second, coming up with a name for a new color is not an easy task. Although it
looks darker than the current LEGO color 111 Transparent Brown, it doesn't
look much different from what most people would say is some type of "transparent
blackish gray" color. Typically, new color names grow longer over time to
help distinguish from existing colors, so we could end up with something like
"Trans-Very Dark Bluish Gray".
Longer names are something we have come to accept in a catalog that covers the
entire history of LEGO colors, but it helps lower the entry barrier to BrickLink
when we can use simpler names at least for the most common colors. Using the
relatively short names "Trans-Brown" and "Trans-Black" are ideal
instead of retaining "Trans-Black" for the earlier color and creating
a longer name for the new color.
Finally, aligning the names of the two colors with the official LEGO color names
helps us future-proof the BrickLink catalog. By aligning these color names now,
we make sure that any other colors the LEGO Group may introduce within this range
in the future would not cause any further issues.
Thank you for your patience as we make this transition.

| | A buyer placed an order in my store in January. I shipped it out. A month later,
they file a chargeback with their credit card company, saying they did not authorize
the payment. (NOT that the item didn't arrive, but that the payment itself
should never have been charged to their card.)
Another month later, Paypal sides with them, and reverses the payment and charges
me a $20 fee on top of it.
I looked at their feedback today, and it appears they have done this to at least
one other seller recently.
Too much time has passed for me to file a non-paying buyer (and the rules seem
to indicate that it would be removed even if it was still in the timeframe).
It's too late to change my feedback for them.
What is the official process for me?

On top of this order, I have an order from the UK that shipped on the 10th of

So, John, you may have a very laid-back perspective of kid's toys, but my

Patience is a virtue but eight days is a long time. Reach out the seller and
ask them for an update on the status of the package.
|
The status of the package is "Feb. 19 12:15am Shipping label created, USPS
awaiting item" as of 5 minutes ago.
I did send a message to the seller this morning asking if there was a problem
with my order since it has not shipped yet and I am awaiting a response.

| | Hello,
I recently received an order from a new user (0 Feedback) with an address in
Delaware, USA. The address is for a freight forwarding company (Shiptor, 1600
Johnson Way, New Castle, DE), which is a Russian company and will ship into Russia.
The phone number they provide has been linked multiple times to scams. I do not
ship to Russia, do not want to ship to Russia, and have no future plans to do
so either. I think this user is trying to get around sanctions and/or customs
fees.
When this buyer first contacted me, I was a little suspect of them, but I have
had other new buyers act in similar ways, and they were great buyers. After I
emailed photos of the set (75227) to the buyer, I got a response almost immediately,
and it sounded very different to the previous message that I had received. This
started to raise red flags for me, but after I got the shipping address I knew
something fishy was going on.
They requested an invoice, which I have not filled out yet, so I have not received
payment yet either.
Do I have any justification to cancel the order, or do I have to go through with
it?
Any help or insight would be appreciated,
Thanks,
-Alizarin

If the Paypal and Bricklink addresses match, mail the package and be done with
it.

I think what Sylvain is saying is that it's not sellers' responsibility
to investigate buyers' behavior. If you suspect that a buyer may be committing
fraud, simply report it to the proper authorities (BrickLink, PayPal, etc.) and
let them take care of it.
|
And how do I report anything to Bricklink if I don’t suspect anything? Without
consulting other sellers I have little to suspect as packages sometimes go missing
right? Besides Bricklink read the forum and I’m sure will contact me if they
feel any action can and should be taken as for paypal try reporting anything
to them without proof of postage and see how far you get with that? These are
simple and basic steps to protect myself and other sellers but people are talking
like I’m some kind of vigilante!
| |
To extend your analogy, if you see your neighbor's shed being raided by thieves,
you're probably better off calling the police than investigating the thieves.
|
Your reading my analogy wrong... as my point was to do something rather than
nothing! Either way personally if I see thieves breaking into my neighbours shed
I’d disturb them from my window and quickly inform my neighbour as by the time
the cops have been informed and arrive the thieves will have a sack full of stuff
and be long gone!
|
This is actually the best point of the whole thread. This whole "report it
to the police and authorities" might be the dumbest thing I've ever read.
Yeah, the police are really going to look into a few Lego transactions worth
30-50 dollars spread all around the world. Talk about just arguing for the sake
of arguing. But let's say Infinibrix did decide to completely waste his time
and report it to the police, what is he suppose to report to the police "I
sent a package to someone and they say they didn't receive it and then I
sent a refund"? You people are kidding me right? The only person who might
get in trouble would be Infinibrix for wasting the police's time. However,
if Infinibrix was insane enough to go to the police, don't you think they
would take his complaint a bit more seriously if he uncovered a pattern of fraud
from this buyer against other people as well. Same goes if you switch out reporting
this buyer to Bricklink instead of the police. I shouldn't be, but I am actually
shocked that anyone would think Infinibrix did the slightest thing wrong here.
And I am stunned that anyone would think the police would do a single thing in
this scenario. In my humble opinion, well done Infinibrix.

It's not your role.

It's his order. His money. His potential negative feedback. I think that
makes it his role to look into if he's being scammed.

Contact PayPal, BrickLink administration, Police, authorities.

a buyer any different to reading what a seller had to say about a buyer in feedback?

Feedback is given by both seller and buyer voluntarily.
It's given with consent and knowledge it'll be public data.

I have received 3 orders since I posted about the two missing orders. All 3 went

I had to email multiple times back and forth JUST for him to cover the obviously

The fig it's standing next to is another fig I bought used from Bricklink,
along with the hundreds of other figs I've purchased used off Bricklink which
were not severely discolored.
Obviously I will return the figs I promised to return that he has already refunded
me for. The rest of the figs have issues, although not as significant and generally
are just beat up and not salable. I would probably have to give a 50% discount
to sell the remaining figs, as I would NEVER sell figs in this condition without
disclosing it to the buyer.
Pitz - You will need to provide me a shipping label, I'm not paying to ship
these figs back and relying on your professionalism and honesty (as clearly we've
established those are in question)

So many lies and half truths, I'm not continuing with this nonsense whatsoever.
You received the refund that you wanted. I literally agreed with everything you
wanted and said other than the "cracked feet" which I think is absurd
and somehow none of it is good enough. I also sent you 5 dollars to cover postage
since I have no clue how to send a label. I mean, we came to an agreement last
night. Everything that you wanted. I have no idea why you want to continue arguing
and discussing something that was already handled. And under zero circumstances
did I ever "berate" you. You even asked me for my address last night
after I sent you your refund and now that's not good enough either. I'm
100% done with this issue. Please send me the figures that I've already refunded
you for and paid the shipping for.

Alrighty. This should be fun. I originally gave a 6 dollar refund without seeing
any photos. After seeing the photos. I then offered another 6 dollar refund.
I freely admitted that the figure in the first photo was discolored. I don't
feel it is excessively discolored. And it sure makes it look alot more discolored
when standing right next to a brand new figure. I see no problem whatsoever with
the figures in the middle photo. And obviously I apologized for the oversight
with the head and torso in the bottom figure. I obviously missed those dents
otherwise I would have just thrown them in the garbage. After giving the 6 dollar
refund already, I then offered another 15 dollar refund for a total of a 21
dollar refund for the parts that were damaged and I did NOT want them returned.
I also said to the buyer he was more than welcome to return the entire order
and I would refund the entire order. Neither of these options were good enough
for the buyer. The buyer then stated he wanted a 42$ refund for the figures and
he would return them. I said ok and I then refunded the buyer the 42$ last night
before the buyer even shipped the figures back. I then also messaged the buyer
this morning that after I receive the returned figures I would then refund another
4 dollars to cover the cost of shipping. And that is the real story.

While I agree that your example would constitute a Non Shipping Seller, I don't
believe that is what is taking place here. The buyer isn't accusing the seller
of not shipping the order in this case. They are complaining that the order has
not been received. Which I agree with the seller for being upset about that.
However, the buyer is not accusing the seller of not shipping their order. Hence
the wording of "Non Shipping Seller" not applying here. Again, that's

I actually pay about 25% fees on ebay due to promoted listings. I just adjust

at this time is surprising, but here goes...
I received an order on Saturday. The buyer sent an email on Monday to ask if
I had received paypal payment. I'm sorry, but I don't prioritize responding
to questions that can be answered by looking at your own paypal account. I would
have gotten around to it, I just didn't immediately jump on the task. Anyhow
- the very next day I see that I have received my first negative feedback since
itsagoodyear filed retaliatory feedback in 2020, and before that a neg in 2016.
They also reported me on paypal and got a refund there.
So, all in all 3 days have passed since the order was placed. 2 of those being
weekend days. I technically have a non-paying buyer here because I am well within
my store terms, and they got their money back without cancelling the order.
I guess I am ranting about as much as i am simply asking... am i the asshole
here? I also cancelled the order and now I think I cannot even file a nonpaying
buyer alert. That is fine though, I'm going to move on after this therapeutic
question any way.

While I agree the buyer is a jerkstore, it would have taken you less than 5 seconds
to type "Yes, I received your payment" when you saw the message. Something
tells me that 5 seconds spent would have saved you quite a bit of time and hassle
since.

| | Here was the description of the items:
Small imperfections will be present on black printing on neck where head attaches.
This is from being assembled from prior Lego Store employees and being disassembled
to be listed on BL. Priced accordingly and will be documented
So I asked this:
I don't know if you got my message, but I wanted to confirm that the torso
prints are unaffected by any damage.
His response:
We don't receive outside email as that is a prohibited activity. We only
communicate through Bricklink. Did you read the item description for this part?
Me:
Yes I did which is why I'm asking for confirmation that there is no damage
to the torsos.
Him:
What further description do you need the item listing appears to be very straightforward.
They were assembled once by Lego store and in a sealed 3 pack. When a minifig
is assembled the head piece is put on the torso assembly, that means when the
head piece is removed small imperfections may be on the neck part, for example
the black neck printing from Lego factory may have marks where the head was slide
on and off once.
I listed this very clearly in the item description to cover myself from potential
scammers on a high dollar item. Regardless of who purchases these a full video
will be taken as documentation for my safety.
If this explanation is still not good enough you can submit a cancel request
as I had multiple people inquire about this before you committed to this order.
Me:
I don't know why you keep avoiding answering the simple question: Is there
any damage to the torso print?
Him:
I responded very accurately to your message in regards to this order. Any issues
are noted in the item description as well as the message I gave you today.
If you do not wish to purchases the order you committed to you can select NPX
via the order details screen and we can sell to someone else no worries
Thank you
If you missed the item description of condition I have copied it below for you
to review again:
"Small imperfections will be present on black printing on neck where head
attaches. This is from being assembled from prior Lego Store employees and being
disassembled to be listed on BL. Priced accordingly and will be documented "
Me:
You keep refusing to answer the question. You mention possible damage to the
neck print which really no one cares about. You said it's used so I just
want a simple yes or no as to whether there is any damage to the torso prints.
I do not understand why you keep refusing to answer that question.
Him:
Everything is very clearly noted several times. There is no area where anything
is stated as "used". Our item is priced accordingly by qty and condition,
and by volume is nearly $1 dollar cheaper than the next vendor.
You are taking up valuable time and resources. Please review all correspondence
from this order and make your informed decision on if you wish to purchase.
If you want to get out of the order please submit a cancellation request via
NPX and we can move on.
Thank you
***If this information is still not good enough for you there is always the Bricklink
help desk you can contact***
Me:
You mentioned it was handled by store staff, yet there is nothing in your description
about the torso print. It is a fair question for a buyer to ask if there is any
damage to the torso print. All you have to say is yes or no. I don't know
why you insist on refusing to answer a simple and common question.
Him:
Please utilize the resources from prior messages.

Since your payment is pending you haven't actually paid for the item yet.
The seller isn't going to send you anything until payment is received for
the item. And you thought it would be a good idea to leave the seller a negative
feedback after two days when you haven't even paid for your item yet? Yowzers.
You are now currently blocked from buying from almost every store on Bricklink.

My mother lives in Napa county and she had similar issues after the 2014 Napa

attached her entertainment center to the wall with brackets.
As for other disasters, I lost all of my store inventory as well as my own personal
LEGO collection in the 2020 LNU Lightning Complex fires that swept through part
of Northern California and burned down our house and everything we owned. I
haven't reopened my store since then, and at this point it is doubtful I
will accumulate enough inventory to ever reopen.

Looks like they changed the way the search works with quotes, it doesn't
work with them at all any more.
I also agree that it is much faster, though that is not really relevant to the

I write them by hand.
Black (without quotes) for the torso colour, "light nougat hands" "reddish
brown arms" for other parts of the assembly.

+1 its super simple to do som I'm confused why so many people always use
other sites for it
for example
White torso arms yellow white buttons
will get you every white torso with arms and hands/pattern that is white and
yellow and there are buttons on the torso
|
Because the other site is remarkably faster than typing that on Bricklink.
|
don't you still have to type all the same stuff or select it from dropdowns?
it took me less then 5 seconds on bricklink to type that out so how much faster
can it be on another site?
|
It's dropdowns. And the most popular colors are bunched together. You can
also write something in like "button"if you want to. But the torso, arms,
and hands are all dropdowns.
|
I don't know about you put using a drop down and finding the right colour
and then clicking on it seams to be something that takes longer then just writing
a colour that's usually only like 4-5 letters long for most of them
|
It's much faster.

Yea, I figured that out later, that does help...
But the saga gets worse... The USPS online postage calculator would not give
me a First Class option, thus the extremely high shipping cost. Get paid, fill
out customs (which I for some reason couldn't do online), get to Post Office.
We can't ship Priority Mail packages to Spain right now. But you CAN ship
First Class for less than $30 (I didn't catch the actual amount)...
Now to figure out the best way to get the most refund (since the buyer paid VAT
almost as much as the items, because VAT is on shipping charge also...) and not
leave me in the hole...
And this is the final straw for me on international shipping...

International shipping is extremely simple. Being completely honest, international
shipping isn't the problem. Set up instant checkout. Charge all international
orders other than Canada and Mexico the same price. Make a checkout for 0-7 ounces.
And 8-30 ounces. You are wasting far too much time trying to send an exact amount
for shipping to each country. That's way too much time wasted.

Scrolling doesn't change, you just see a part of a shop.
Tried on my favorite guinea pig:
https://store.bricklink.com/Nubs_Select
Tested on Firefox (latest) and Edge, same result.
It's very recent, it worked a few hours ago.
Other pages seem OK, including forum.

Having a few different strange problems as well. One being I can't access
any of my store's inventory. Guessing not a big deal. Probably just another
"routine unscheduled security scan".

I have reconciled inventory from a known point, subtracted orders delivered,
added inventory count added and it does not make sense, still 10,000 out?
Has anyone experienced this? I keep a log of items added and the resultant counts
from BL after, so I know what my count should be.
Thanks

I'm not trying to be rude but this seems like an ENORMOUS waste of time.
you'll end up with 10X more sales if you stop doing this.

If that's not the definition of living in the past, I don't know.
Anyhoo. Can we have the roadmap back? The community of sellers and buyers wants
to know what you're up to, Bricklink, and what projects our fees are going
towards.

|
how can something be "routine" and "unscheduled" at the same time.....
|
Because it is a lie and they do not have a good PR person to spin this and think
it through. So dung like this comes out.
|
Do you have evidence that BrickLink is lying? Or, are you imagining that they
are lying and stating your assumptions as fact?
|
Yes, the evidence is called common sense.

You don't really expect anybody to believe this nonsense, do you?

Can't click on the "Add Items to My Inventory" page. Which means I can't
list any parts. which means I can't get any work done that I want to get
done. Which means this is outrageous. Especially during Christmas season. Site
hasn't been working for like 10 hours. Ridiculous.

clicking on them. Along with pretty much everything else moving quite slow. Anybody
else?

| | Hi all,
I've only had my store open for a few months, and so far I have only positive
feedback. I have a customer who ordered recently, and when I was packing, I
noticed that I had incorrectly listed the part as its counterpart. Basically,
it's a minifig head with both a hollow stud and a blocked open stud variation.
I immediately sent him a message and let him know, then gave him the option of
cancelling if he was specifically looking for that variation, or if variation
didn't matter, I'd ship the counterpart and credit him the price difference
(so either way, he has money coming to him). Problem is, it's going on 4
days now, and I have not heard from him on how he wants to proceed. I followed
up again yesterday, and still nothing. Messages in my outbox say they are unread.
I'm sure he is waiting for his item and wondering why it hasn't shipped
yet, but I don't know how else to get ahold of a buyer other than through
Bricklink. I need advice on how to proceed as I want to keep my customer happy.
Do I just send the incorrect variation with refund and hope he's okay with
it? Or, do I keep waiting for his response?
Sorry for the long post. Thanks in advance!
Jen

Send the head to the buyer.
