  How can a seller get scammed?


Does not make sense.

  Buyer files PayPal claim/dispute claiming package is not received

The tracking shows the item is received and it matches to the address on Bricklink
and PayPal (warehouse address)

  or item is damaged.

He can always do that, even if the item is shipped to his residential address.


   Or goes to bank and says credit card was used without authorization.

He can always do that, even if the item is shipped to his residential address.

Comments from Submitter:
I have bought 8 boxed copies of this set from all countries to complete 6 variations of boxes with all inner trays. Have got many complete/incomplete copies.
This set comes with at least three variations of connectors but I never a wire of that length in my entire collection. The reason is that that these connectors only come with service pack 1104.

By the way, 14-cm length is too short for the alternate model of this train.

I will add the other wire- connector assembly to the catalog in future.

I asked for evidence if you wanted to submit this request again.
https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1338064

I gave enough evidence.

  
Why would TLG sell a servicepack with a 14 studs wire, if it can't be used
in any set?

This service pack was meant for trains 183 and 182. 180 was sold in UK until
the end of 1980. I think this service pack was discontinued in the end of 1980.

  It is in set 183 though.

The images of instructions of 183 and 7720 show the same length of wire (short).
7720 does indeed show a larger wire later on in the instruction, but that could
just be an instruction error.

What type of error? The smaller wire is not long enough for the alternate model.
I don't see what type of mistake could have happened.

  
Please provide evidence before you submit this request again.

I provided enough evidence here
https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1338077

The wire is not visible in a sealed one.

  I would like to see images of this set with alle three different wires 28 studs
long.

My multiple boxed 7720s are stored in two boxes.
Is it necessary I take them out just to take photos of wires?
As a principle, I keep parts of boxed sets as I got them.

But I know what the three variations are.
By three, I am using my memory. There may be more than three and as I am thinking
about it, I think there are more than three. Will get back to this later.

  And please show me why the alternate model can't be build with a 14 studs
wire, so we can exclude an error in the instruction. I don't have the set
myself, but I wonder why this wire has to be put in the motor like shown in the
instruction. So help me with that please.

Hmmmm, let me see what I can do for that.

  
Diana

Wires are exchanged between sets in about 10-20% in average but it happened more
with older trains from 60s and 70s.

There are two problems with wire-connector assemblies:
- it is not clear what the length of these assemblies are considered to be. It
depended on the contributor. Some considered connectors as part or the assembly
and some didn't.
- The length of these assemblies were not exact in a set. Once I checked the
length of wires in 6 copies of 7722 I had. The shortest was about 2.5cm shorter
that the longest one.

In any case, the length of wire that came with 180, 181, 182 and 183 is much
shorter than those coming with 7720 and 7722.

Comments from Submitter:
Photos will be followed.

Photos taken by legorossi. Thanks!

The box art shows a prototype motor without black "plate" under the blue motor.
That was never sold. The motor that was sold had the black motor glued under
the front-side of motor.
This explains how and why a strange 2x4 black plate was added to this inventory.
