|
Do I understand correctly that the hair, round plate, and light saber were missing
from the minifig? If that's the case then I could see why it was removed
- 3-4 pieces out of a total of 7-8 were missing.
|
So why aren't all the listings removed for every single one of these figures.
|
they likely only remove the ones that are reported. if you or someone else
reported the other incomplete listings then they would likely be removed.
|
Seems rather implausible to me that someone would look for this figure. There
are 6 listed that were cheaper than mine. 2 of which are missing pieces. The
other 4 have problems. And my figure is the one that gets reported. How does
that make any sense?
|
Maybe they were shopping in your store for other things and ran across it and
reported it. You are driving yourself crazy and investing way too much time
in the why/who/what.

| | Hi, I have an issue with an order which the seller has my money and is unresponsive
and not shipping my order. This has been a problem since early March and I've
filed a dispute claim with my bank.
But my bank wants me to bring this up with the admins and see what can be done
by the admins first before they take further action. I am just wondering how
I can contact the bricklink admins regarding this...
Many thanks

File an NSS on the order. However, Bricklink does not have your money or any
access to it. Your bank needs to start the action. There is no action Bricklink
can take involving the money.

| | Hi there.
This concerns a NPB , complaint i believe instead of NSS.
By the looks of it and the understanding of what you wrote;
The seller added picking and postal , and after that you did not pay the invoice.
For future overseas and or any purchases where instant checkout is unavailable;
Use a request quote option
Instead of the Invoice.
You could try to be nice, and request a cancel when the invoice is done and you
dislike the outcome..
But request quote is without the obligation.
Have a good one.
|
This is a problem; excessive postage is a legitimate reason to cancel an order
and should never result in feedback for either party as a transaction didn't
happen. And for postage costs there shouldn't be an option of an NPB. Holding
a buyer hostage because the shipping cost is beyond what they expected is not
a good way to do business. Most people don't understand how to ask for a
quote, many things are not intuitive here.

in am email theyd honour an invoice they sent to me for less then they were asking.
No, now thank you Bricklink. Not cool. I wish to make a complaint to Bricklink
for these experiences.These rules and obligstions are not clear enough for first
time users of bricklink.
|
First off use spellcheck.
Secondly this reads that you were invoiced for less than you placed the order
for.
If so, was it because of missing pieces? If so, it is extremely bad form to
demand you continue with the purchase. Personally, I know inventory mistakes
happen and have no problem with them unless it was the reason for the order in
the first place.
Also, for your first order, you need to file a PayPal claim on it.

The buyer already attempted to negotiate the price of an element they already

made the purchase, only doing so just before receiving the refund for the missing
part. Buyer is also asking for a refund of $10 for the parts they felt were over
priced vs the market on top of sending them the correct torso they were already
refunded for.
Buyer has a 20+ year history on BrickLink and from reviewing their feedback,
they have the propensity, IMO, to leave negative feedback.
NOTE: Avg BL price is ~$3-5 USD, element in this color was released once as part
of a CMF, I have already adjusted the price down for the rest of the community,
I didn't realize it was over avg. Had the buyer approached this differently,
I most certainly would have too.
This is an ongoing NSS

No price adjustment, they agreed to the price when they bought it. You refunded
the torso, was any shipping refunded? You have done what you need to. Proof
of the refund should kill the NSS. The still have the right to leave negative
feedback as they aren't happy, even thou it was an admitted to mistake and
they were refunded. When they leave their feedback, respond to it honestly and
calmly.

OK, they already left feedback, and seeing theirs, I won't be buying from
them.

| | Your buyer doesn't seem unreasonable and you handled this transaction poorly.
You got some good advice on this thread from others, I hope you take it into
consideration for the future.
Also, you're going to have alot of trouble if you ship internationally and
refuse to refund shipping for incomplete orders. You might skate by when shipping
is a few dollars but otherwise this is going to keep happening to you.
Lastly, most buyers don't read the TOS.

Also, the TOS do not supersede any consumer protection laws that may exist in
either country. If you sell to that country, you agree to their laws. And it's
your responsibility to know them and follow them.

|
You can scam quite a bit with good prices and make excuses for not being able
to ship and more orders come in before someone finally starts an NSS. Then it
takes 3 to trigger a problem with BL. In the meantime, they keep selling more.
This might blowup even more.

| Easy buy is so broken. It picked a store and set up the cart with 122 lots.
The store has an 80 lot limits. Also, the seller has multiple lots of 1ea and
of course I need multiples, so unnecessary lots are added when they could be
consolidating them when they add them. And some can argue that it's just
how they do things and have them in different places when they part them out,
but when you keep the same part in multiple locations it is an inefficient usage
of space.
TY for reading. Rant over, carry on.

Also their responses. Everyone can make a mistake and there is no pleasing some
people, but if you are running a business you have to act professionally. And
if this is a just a hobby then you should still show some respect to people who
gave you their business, even if you aren't totally pleased. Screaming that

It was canceled after 3 months of back and forth. Once that happened it was past
the paypal time frame. Since this was in a different country I was trying to
give the seller the benefit. Won't happen again. I've done hundreds of
buys on Brickowl without any issues and I've done 5 buys here with 2 issues.

Email is almost instantiations, shipping times aren't, but never let it go
past the PayPal time limit, you can always resend them the money. And a lot of
the sellers here are on Brickowl. Looking at who you left the feedback for I
wouldn't have bought from them based on their feedback. Yes, I might get
a perfect transaction with them, but if not then it looks like a problem. Good
luck and I hope you get better service with other sellers. look at my feedback
and pick one of them.

This seller gives awesome service.
But if you are looking for a rarer part, I know your choices are limited.
