I sold what I had listed as 825068 LED Key Light Darth Vader Key Chain (LEDLITE)
- Boxed Version today but the ones I have are actually a tagged version LGL-KE7T.
The tagged version in the catalogue is LGL-KE7H. I'm waiting to hear back
from the buyer to see if they still want it.

 
Gear No: 825068  Name: LED Key Light Darth Vader Key Chain (LEDLITE) - Boxed Version

* 
LGL-KE7H LED Key Light Darth Vader Key Chain (LEDLITE) - Tagged Version

The catalogue says the tagged version was released in 2020 but I've had mine
since 2011. Does anyone know of a name change and if "boxed version"
was added to the name at some point? I listed them too long ago to remember what
the name of the item was at the time.

The tag on mine is different to the one in the catalogue and it also has a white
tag with instructions on how to replace the batteries. That tag says z11175 v1,
8/02/11.

  Interesting, maybe my memory is just really bad and it indeed didn’t take that
long I kept the box for a couple years but think I recently got rid of
it otherwise I could probably find a date on it somewhere

My memory is pretty bad too but I still have the emails, the photo is on my phone
so it's dated and the invoice is in with a couple of items I haven't
used yet. Box is still here, minus label and ready to use one day for the right
size order

Great pack though and a really nice surprise because not only do I never win
anything, I think I only did the first weekly challenge/quiz. I meant to do the
rest but life got busy and I forgot.

If you own one could you add the weight?

Are we all sure that this thing is a duster? It looks more like a make-up brush!

Agreed! But it says bricklink on it so it has to be a duster.

I think Nubs has one.

Indeed but mine has part of the logo worn off and the sticker missing (and has
dust ) so I don’t know if I should add the weight

Where did you come across it?

Won it in a contest from bricklink along with the other bricklink merch with
similar branding

  p.s. Is it a make up brush?

Is there a difference? I’ve never even help a makeup brush so couldn’t
tell yah

Held” and yes in traditional bricklink ways it took like a year to ship or something
(I don’t remember exact how long) and the water bottle made me sick every
time I used it

Mine shipped around 3 months after they asked me to provide my details and it
got here about a week later, photo is from Nov 18, 2020. I got the email a couple
of weeks after the event concluded and they gave me 2 weeks to respond or they'd
contact the next person on the list.

No problem with the water bottle but I always thought the brush was for keyboards

We believe we have fixed this issue. Please let us know if the problem persists.

Thanks Russell, looks good this morning. Just sent a couple and payment info
was included.

I am having the same problem. In the order I made yesterday, the Invoice from
my seller is missing the "Comments from Seller".
Then I had an order from a buyer. I have sent the invoice with copy to me and
the "comments from seller" are missing in the email.
Fortunately I immediately saw this and could get in contact with my buyer.

Well, that's at least 3 or us then. I only noticed when the second buyer
I invoiced this morning asked where payment details were. The earlier invoice
I sent didn't have them either but that buyer placed an order last week as
well, so must have got them from that one.

At the top of the send invoice page, there used to be a link to view a printable
copy but that's changed to a link further over on the right of 'send
invoice'. I haven't noticed it before, so wondering it's a recent
change that might be the cause of the problem.

I think that change was done some time ago, I wouldn't say it is recent.

For the invoice issue, can you try this?

Go to edit your template and copy it to a txt file in your computer and save
it.
Then reset it, as with TAX changes they added/changed somethings in it.
Then try to send the invoice again with the comments and see if it gets to you
fine.

I wasn't sure if that was new or it's just the first time I noticed it.

Thanks for the suggestion but I already tried that earlier today and it did nothing.
I just gave it another go and still no comments coming through. I even tried
just the default 'Please send a grand total of AU $xx.xx to ...' message
and no luck there either.

Whatever caused it, it only started happening in the last 24 hours.

Just confirmed that this is also happening to me, most of my orders are paid
by onsite methods, but the comments are empty for all new generated invoices
now.

This has to be an update related to the one that broke the API that is related
to the comments on store lots.

Until solved we sellers might have to send a message with the comments in the
invoice so our customer get the details to pay...

I agree, it seems to have started around the same time.

I still send the invoice but I copy the usual comments to a BL message and sent
that as well, along with a short note explaining why I have to do it that way.

Maybe then it's a good time to review the whole thing?
Propose PayPal, even the on site version?
85% of my buyers use PayPal; maybe you'd get more business and less trouble
to
send bank references?


G'luck!

Thanks but unlikely unless I'm given no choice.

100% of my orders are paid for by bank transfer/deposit and I'm happy with
the level of sales I'm getting. I have no wish to expand or bring anyone
else in to help and some days I really am pushing to get everything done.

The reference thing probably isn't really needed anymore because our banks
add more info to transfers than they used but it's standard to add some sort
of reference with a payment.

I have put in a bug report. I didn't get an auto response like I did last
time, so maybe something's changed there. In the meantime I'm sending
the missing info is a message with an explanation.

Someone on a Facebook group says they have the same issue, so for those of you
who send manual invoices, perhaps check your copy to make sure all the necessary
info is there because an invoice without payment info is no use to anyone.

Test it with a simple text like "TEST" and progressively add yours?

Thanks, I haven't changed anything but I tried wiping what I had and replacing
it with testing, then again with abcde in the box and nothing came through either
time.

Images show last one sent yesterday (minus part of comments) and the first one
today. Next one I have to send is to a new buyer too

Deeper in the weirdness...

Yes I can see it appears on your page and not in the email

Check and recheck the Template; try things, otherwise wait after midnight EST,
if not tomorrow the open a ticket.

Apart if someone else has a better idea?

I should add, the comments are showing in preview before I send the invoice,
but not on the invoice after it's been sent.

My buyer was inexperienced. They didn't even realise they were using two
different sites, they thought they'd downloaded the instructions from BrickLink.

I had a new buyer who downloaded some instructions from Rebrickable and followed
the link from there to buy whatever of the required parts I had available. They
thought that they'd ordered everything they needed and it was only when their
son went to start building that they realised they hadn't.

Yes, that could be due to (silent) conversion/uploading errors or, more probably,
to the usual problem with EasyBuy / Auto-select: they show “100%” (or more!)
when there’s parts missing (because of bulk lots).

I’d have hoped that would eventually be fixed with the MOC Pop-up Shop… but it
should use another buying process (with new errors, because new code… and old
errors too, because copy-pasting…).

  As a seller, I received two emails overnight from buyers of mine who both claim
that the items they received are not the entire order they placed. The order
page, package contents, and PayPal payment all match so nothing was missed on
the seller's end. However both buyers say that there are items they remember
ordering (and paying for?) which did not appear on the order page or, of course,
in the package they received from me.

Now I'm pretty quick to assume they just didn't successfully click "add
to cart" or maybe they were doing it all on the terrible mobile version of
the site. But having two buyers in the same day tell me that I omitted a portion
of their order with no evidence of such leads me to believe that maybe there
is a system problem.

As far as I'm concerned, x, Y, & Z were ordered and X, Y, & Z were paid for,
shipped, and delivered. However this back and forth could definitely lead to
distaste for the BrickLink platform. Has anyone else received messages from their
buyers like this or has anyone placing an order not had all of the items they
believed to have purchased appear on their order page?

bea coincidence, but I've noticed business dried up after I put it in place.
If any experienced sellers have other advice on how to improve my store, I would
appreciate it.

When I visit your store I am greeted with this message, you need to figure out
how to fix it:

I think I've got that fixed, if you want to check it again.

It still shows that error message.

I suggest you look in the Help Center and see if there's any settings you've
missed.

IF that doesn't solve it, open a support ticket with the Help Desk and see
if they can help resolve the issue.

Cheers ...

BrickLink has to collect GST on orders to Australia that are under AUD 1000.
You're seeing that message because the store doesn't have an onsite payment
method.

They've charged it correctly but generally we need a valid tax invoice to
be able to claim a GST credit and I'm not sure the invoice we got has sufficient
info.

fees is being charged GST! Will this be rectified as sellers registered with
GST is not supposed to be charged it! Thought I better mention that.
FYI, GST is meant to be charged at 1/11 of the total cost and not at 10%. Even
though its stated as a 10% GST its technically not . Thats Australia for ya

Thank you.

This will go live when the solution is deployed. June 1st is still the target.

Hey Russell,
Is this live yet? I'm not seeing where we can put tax info in yet!

  We allow buyers to buy for dropshipping purposes, but only if they do not burden

Bricklink also allows buyers to use false location information for the purposes
of avoiding taxes or getting around sellers zones to which they feel comfortable
shipping.

My only negative is from one such individual, and their address did not have
the telltale signs of a freight forwarding address. Yet, they are sill listed
in Oregon and complaining about "Seller do not accept the payment from other
country." These falsified locations just do not feel right to me and it
seems ripe for abuse with Bricklink tax collection spreading around the globe.

Is there anything being done about this "burden" to sellers?

This is my order summary and yet I've never shipped outside of Australia.

  Dear BrickLink members,

On June 1, 2023 we plan to implement new marketplace features and settings to
handle Australian Goods and Services Tax (GST). This will mostly affect transactions
where an Australian buyer is purchasing from stores outside of Australia, but
it will also affect all Australian BrickLink members to a degree (both buyers
and sellers).

Here is a summary of what will change:

1. BrickLink will now collect Australian GST for all orders being shipped into
Australia from the outside with a consignment value under $1,000 AUD. As with
other taxes collected on the BrickLink site, this means that all such orders
will require an onsite payment method.

2. When seller invoices go out on June 5th, GST will now be added to the invoice
for Australian sellers.

3. Australian business sellers who are GST registered will now have the option
to upload tax information to their BrickLink seller profile. GST will not be
added to the monthly fee invoice for such sellers.

We plan to send out emails to all affected BrickLink members later this week.
For a deeper explanation of this implementation, please see our new Help Page,
Australian Tax:

Thanks for reading, and feel free comment below if you have further questions.

Since when do we pay GST on 2nd hand goods?
New = Yes.... Used = No....
How are you going to seperate this?

GST has always applied to second-hand goods from GST registered suppliers, so
there's no need for them to separate new and used.

For low value imports, the EDP/online marketplace is deemed to be the supplier,
so if the marketplace is GST registered, second-hand goods will attract GST.

https://www.ato.gov.au/Business/International-tax-for-business/GST-on-imported-goods-and-services/Australian-consumers-importing-goods-and-services/

My understanding is that any GST is only collected when the item is first sold
if sold in Asutralia to Australians. And as such, the GST responsibility is
discharged at that time. Hence no additional GST on used items sold within Australia.


There's no GST payable on a private sale of used goods but say you bought
someone's used collection and resold it here and made a profit, then if you
were registered for GST, it would be payable on any value you add.

I believe you can claim a GST credit on used goods though, even if you didn't
pay any when you bought them.

  However, GST is payable on items sold to Australia from outside Australia.

What Id like comment on is whether this applies to the product only i.e. lego
bricks or whether it also applies to the shipping and other charges. The BL
help page suggests the whole order cost which I didnt believe was correct.
