| | Hi, I had a somewhat large order I requested a quote, the order got canceled
because some parts sold out that were in the quote. I didn't realize how
quotes worked, now I'll not use the quote feature again.
My question is, is there a way to add the parts back into my cart from the quote?
I had over 3000 parts and over 150 lots, it took a significant amount of time
to add all those parts to my cart.
|
Go to your Quotes made page:
https://www.bricklink.com/myQuotation.asp?qtype=Q
Select the one just got cancelled and open it, at the bottom there is a button
to add the contents to a Wanted list. Do it and then return to the store, go
to the wanted tab Shop tab and click Wanted Lists, then select the Wanted list
you created on the left and with a click in "Auto-Fill:[Min" (once per
page) you should easy add back all your items.

Do the cross supports below change how this part can be attached to studs in
different ways?
Or does the bottom is lower and something can be put inside different?

I can't figure out what that hidden trans red item is. Your change request
results in 2 sprues. The inventory shows 2 dishes. Besides the hidden item I
see 1 sprue and 1 dish.
Diana
|
Can you please confirm that this seller has 2 of these sprues in the sealed bag
and / or add a zoomed in image if it shows that hidden piece better. For I only
see one and I prefer not to ask a seller the same thing twice, if not necessary.
Diana
|
The hidden piece has to be the other dish.
|
| | One sprue is extra and was not in this specimen. No direct evidence that the extras were on a sprue when present, but I wouldn’t expect to find two if they weren’t.
|
I think I have to go back to school to learn English again. I really don't
understand what you are saying here 
|
I presume that the inventory change to add extra 4073 was correct, but the set
I got a picture of does not have extras. My change request to make the extras
also a sprue is technically a guess. But I think it is a good one, because if
the sets that had extra didn't have the sprue piece, they would have only
had ONE extra 4073. Having 2 extras when there are only 2 in this small set
is a strong clue that the extras were also on a sprue.
|
Without your evidence, I would also think these 2 extra 4073 might be correct
(4 regular were changed to 2 regular and 2 extra). But the source for the inventory
as well as the change is unknown and you delivered evidence there is no extra
sprue ??
Only a small percentage of the sets with these sprues also have an extra sprue,
so I really don't know what to do with your request with the info you gave
me. If you only asked for images, maybe you could send this seller another message
asking for a better image showing all trans red parts better?!
Thanks,
Diana

The set might have been inventoried with 4 as 2 are shown inside one side container

Nevertheless there are also many that just show 2 4073:

Did the buyer actually use PayPal onsite?
Normally with onsite the status should automatically go to paid and then you
set another status
|
That would explain why the seller can't change the payment status
from None
|
If memory serves, even with on site payments, a buyer can FORCE the payment check
box to Paid (but BL shows then a warning).
Maybe it's related?

Don't think so, with onsite only a Pay button appears instead of the checkbox
of offsite.

So, what to do with this new/old mold?
Both 4079 and 4079b have 4 small circles on the bottom.
4079 doesn't show a (c) year
4079b started without a (c) year and 'ended' with (c)1978
This new mold doesn't have these 4 circles at the bottom, shows (c) 2009,
but has the molding pip back on the stud (like 4079) instead of inside this ugly
sprue (like 4079b). This change however was the reason of making a new entry
with center sprue.
Strange use of copy right years btw, using it after the mold is changed.

On Rebrickable sometimes they have parts lists of builds within as set, in this

Comments from Submitter:
I unsealed this set a few months ago, but still have all or almost all the pieces. I will take pics of these pieces soon.
|
We have not split the pink color. That is classic paradisa pink, not Light Pink.
|
Why was the cloth part moved back? There is no Light Pink color.
56 Light Pink was cleared out to make room for Paradisa Pink/17 Rose. Sellers
already list that color under BL Light Pink.
|
The main issue is that there is no clear dividing line in the inventory system
between early pink and middle pink. So we would end up with whole inventories
of Paradisa sets where the pink could be either one.
We have that situation in the 2003-2004 color change (Light Gray to Light Bluish
Gray) and those inventories are still compromised, meaning that to accurately
represent the two colors, we would have to have hundreds of alternate lines in
the inventory, which in some cases would nearly double the size.
Until we have a better way of handling alternate colors, we will need to hold
off on separating the early and middle pink.
The Light Pink changes so far were allowed because we found the existing colors
to be in error or there was a closer color. It wasn't because we were trying
to clear out the Light Pink color.
As a company, we actually did a study several years ago to see if people could
recognize the difference between the two colors, and we also collected a lot
of possible names from the public for the new color. So we were definitely prepping
to split the color, but then we ran into the inventory issue.
If you have an idea on how we could solve this, please share it with us.
|
Inventories for the lasts years have up to 1137 unique lots, for the ones in
2004 or before, even doubling (not because only some items would be possible
in two colors not all) those sets inventories would be smaller than the ones
we currently have.
https://www.bricklink.com/catalogStats.asp?v=1&statID=L&itemType=S&inItemType=
Another option is to use the way of LG/LBG, the inventory is done with the earliest
color and a note is added that all parts can be XXX color also, and that just
the unique parts are shown as alternates so that they appear in the known color
lists.

That doesn't sound right. If he had a paypal transaction, then the seller

The PayPal transactions for IC orders don't have the order ID because the
Order in BL is generated after the payment. They do have an IC ID and with that
the best is to contact admins and see if they can track what happened.

You offer 2 Paypal payment options:
Paypal (onsite) and Paypal
Did they choose the first one, the pay button should be there.
If they choose the last one, they manually have to make a payment via Paypal
to your account.

Thank you! The buyer must have chosen the off site payment method. I just forgot
I still had it enabled as no buyer has chosen it for a very long time. There
is apparently no sales tax in Montana.

Then you can edit your order and change the payment method to PayPal (onsite)
and send the invoice again:

order is marked "Invoiced". The copy of the invoice does not include the paragraph
starting with "This message is to guide you through the payment process ...."
which every invoice usually includes.
Any one who knows what is causing this?
Thanks,
Hanne

Try changing the shipping price or credit/additional charges a couple times and
invoice again.

On the cbp website it says "Customs and Border Protection (CBP) does not collect
state sales tax on goods imported into the U.S."
Anyone can explain?

What they state is correct, CBP does not collect state sales tax, but BrickLink
being a Marketplace has to collect state sales tax on goods sold to USA customers.

BrickLink needs the payment to be made onsite (i.e., through PayPal or Stripe)
in order to collect VAT on EU orders under 150€.
|
But they do offer PayPal Onsite, I still see the banner:
|
I was just about to say the same. Could it be that they have only micropayments
onsite for international or something like that (IDK as I don't use it).
Or maybe no postage methods that allow an order over 150 euro?
|
I don't know, 8 EUR orders lets me until place order and 120 EUR also lets
me until place order, maybe the banner dispersar after a few hours or the next
day after allowing PP onsite?
Tha thing is that the payment I see is just paypal, not Paypal onsite...

Uhhh excuse me, but it's the exact opposite.
For years (until now anyway) price of the LEGO parts have dicreased.
Right now you can find zillion of parts on BrickLink under the dollar cent or

LEGO PAB show parts at 0.04€ while it was at a minimum 6 or 7 euro cents couple

Sellers with huge quantities tend to be in the country where the magazines are

The foilpacks (now paperpacks?) are actually produced/packed by the publisher

It doesnt take too much time unless its a head with printing, then you have to
search for more details, there is like 200+ pages worth of lego heads.
|
But when looking (at things like heads), you can generally cut that count by
half+ - 50% of those will be male/female. You can the reduce significantly
further by colour and features. That 200 pages can then end up as just 50...
As for numbers not being visible to the naked eye, at the right angle, in the
right light, yeah, that is a real problem.

Don’t forget to also type hollow, blocked, solid, or vented to narrow it down
more
For example
Yellow head hollow dual female glasses

Or better filter out by using exclusion words -beard -lipstick etc

Not sure what you mean by conversion error, it's a price difference of almost

Correct. Norwegian VAT is 25%, so if you subtrct that from 2952, you get 2361,6.
But only Norwegian buyers are supposed to see the VAT included prices.

It is a shame that someone can take something that would have been simple, and
a great business transaction (also being our third order in the store), and make
it this hard. It just makes no sense.
What are your opinions on this matter? Are we allowed to cancel the order?
|
Is it right that orders cannot be combined once VAT is taken off, or is it that
the seller has processed the first order and so moved it to a status where new
batches are not combined with an existing order? I can understand them not wanting
to do have to do the paperwork for VAT exemptions again for just a small addition
to an order that they have just processed.
|
Before it was possible, but since the change in VAT rates months ago it is broken
and you can only add batches if the VAT checkbox is enabled on the pending order.
| |
But yes, you can request that an order is cancelled under EU law. However, there
is no EU law about bricklink processes. The seller is entitled to cancel it through
the NPB process if they wish. That is still a cancellation. It is also keeping
a record that you place orders and cancel them, and other companies do this.
Amazon and LEGO can cancel your account if you repeatedly place orders and cancel
or return them, even through you have the right to cancel and return them.
Of course, it is much better practice to work with a buyer (especially a previous
customer that has placed multiple orders) and to cancel it so they keep coming
back in future.

I received this message from an Italian buyer:
"(...) in the bricklink cart I receive this error: "Store does not support orders
shipping to Italy."

Can any italian friend here please verify if I still ship to Italy?

Here's an update on the topic.
The Buyer sent me a screenshot (below) and he his buying from multiple stores.
Is it possible that because one of the stores doesn't ship to Italy, it causes
messing up with mine? Some kind of bug or? What do you fine folks reckon?
(And yes, the order is well above my Min Buy)
|
Strange...
Forward all these info to the Help Desk and hope they can tell you what is happening...

Okay… I wouldn’t know as it’s forbidden here
|
What's legal now, and it's relatively recent, is to propose a rebate
on a specific payment method.
Typically, say 3% off if paid by SEPA/IBAN.
We thought about implement it in our Shipping Methods.
But this is complicated on BrickLink: as BrickLink will always propose by default
the cheapest price, people will click fast and select SEPA (cheaper), and then
will write me saying "I didn't mean this, I wish PayPal"
Then they write back: "How come is it more expensive now???"
|
I had this discount in place for some time, but later I came to the realisation
that if I offer 3% discount for IBAN payment is exactly the same money your receive
as a PayPal transaction inside EU (2.9% + 0.35€) and most people still used PayPal
to pay as on small orders the difference is minimum and people feel more confortable
with PP.

It works, tested on test account. No problemo amigo.
Apart I'm a bit puzzled you could ship 200€+ in a "tracked airmail envelope",
but it's another story.
Personnaly I've put value limits to this kind of not registered / signed
for envelopes...
|
Merci mon ami!
I can ship 2000€ in a Letter, pas de soucis
|
I filled out my card: value 250 Euro
shipping costed about 19.5 euro letter.
Those letter options (that I am familiar with as I bought from Germany, Denmark,
Sweden,...) do not come with tracking for Canada (or USA). The tracking number
starts with letter "R" and it works only within your country.
So if a buyer files a PayPal claim, you will lose no matter what.
So I think you may be interested in putting a value limit for this option.
|
This happened to me with a R shipment to CA.
Buyer asked as it was not showing up in CA Post website, but after opening a
claim here the order arrived to the buyer and CA Post website showed it finally
but directly delivered. Then I got a reply for my claim showing proof of delivery
and a bit more of tracking history.

Whenever you see Island in the address always check if special shipping rules
apply.
In Spain for Canary Islands and Ceuta and Melilla you need to send as if it was
an order to outside of Europe (invoice copies and content description etc.).
For the Balearian Islands sending with the postal system is okay, but private
couries could have additional charges.

Have you asked PayPal about the payment status? They might have a clear date,
if that passes you could try with the refund system.

On BrickStore you can import XML, LDD and Studio files:

items with alternate IDs sometimes are autocorrected and unknow items for BL

invoice to satisfy the system. All indication is I'll never get the money

Has anyone been through this?

Quotes are not orders. Presumably this was an order if you were charged fees.
If you weren't paid after a month, you should have filed a NPB to cancel
it. You still have to pay fees if you don't cancel any uncompleted orders.
And if you don't pay your fees after getting billed for them, you will be
suspended, which is what they have done.
|
Thanks for re-explaining what has happened. That's just what I was hoping
for. I'll print it out before I get in my time machine. It was a mistake
I acknowledge that. No real use walking up to someone lying in the street and
telling them that they tripped and that's why they are on the ground. It
may be possible that I am frustrated at both the buyer for wasting my time AND
myself for not cancelling the transaction promptly AND Bricklink for not respnding
before suspending me.
The real question is do I have to pay this false invoice just to satisfy the
machine? Does anyone have actual experience with this situation or a better
way to get a response from BL?
|
Was it a Quote or an Order? A quote doesn't generate a an order only afer
being accepted by the buyer, an order is placed if the buyer does the checkout
and you can see it in your orders received page.
Orders are the only thing that generate fees for BL, if you got an invoice for
BL is for all the sales orders you made prior to the day 5th of this month.
You always owe that money, if the orders was not paid by the customer you should
start a Non-Paying-Buyer alert in the problem center, and if completed it will
remove the fee amount you owe for that order, if it is already paid it will be
credited to your account balance I think.
So my suggestion is Pay the BL invoice and submit a ticket with the transactions
details asking for an Admin reinstate your account.
