  So I tried to print out a first class international label today. According to
my charts, pulled from the USPS website, the UK is in zone 5, and so a small
package should be $14.49 (commercial rate). Paypal had it as $15.44. So I cancelled
the label, and contacted Paypal to say their zone chart was wrong. They responded
that the rates are set by the USPS, not Paypal. So I tried to print out a label
through the USPS (a pain since I have to copy all the information for the buyer
address). Lo and behold, the rate they were charging me was the retail amount
for zone 9, or $16.25! So even though their chart says the UK is in zone 5,
why did it come out as zone 9??? No, I haven't contacted USPS, since I am
sure it will be a while until I get an answer from them. Just wondered if anyone
else came across this?

Yes, I noticed the UK switched zones (and to the $15.44 rate) earlier this year.
I found a chart somewhere that said they were now in Price Group 20 which looks
to be made up just for them.

Thanks, Jen! Good to know I am not crazy! (well, at least not in this instance)

As a seller, it doesn't matter to me if the numbers are in bold (showing

Like Scrooge, I don't ship until I have the 'cash in hand', so I
should be the only one to mark it paid. (or the Paypal link, that is fine too,
just not the buyer).

Regardless of weather this suggestion is accepted- there is a function that you
can use now in order to 'uncheck' and undo the buyer's action of
marking the payment as sent:
-Go here: https://www.bricklink.com/orderSettings.asp
-Check this box: Separate order payment status from order status
-Then go back to your current orders, the payment status will be separated from
from the status.
-Change the payment status from 'sent' to none
- voila, your order and payment status are reset and you can send an invoice
and the 'paid' box that the buyer checked falsely will be unchecked.

Big thanks to Brickwilbo who thought us this valuable feature which we use daily.

Taught lol

Thank you! I did not know of this feature either. Hey, I learned something today!

I'm pretty sure that's a bug.. buyers can't change the order status
to paid, only sellers or onsite payment can.

  Why is there even the option for a buyer to mark the order paid?

So.. are you talking about the order status, or about the grand total showing
in bold because the buyer submitted the payment? You'd want to remove the
latter just because you don't need it? Well, I need it.. not everyone
works with PayPal. If buyers send me bank transfers, I need to see that so that
I can ship their order or verify the payment. It's a pretty important feature
to me.

Well, drats. I guess that isn't the solution either. But I have checked my
Paypal account, and there is NO payment from the buyer. And yet, since he marked
it paid, everything is grayed out and I cannot add a shipping amount or send
an invoice! Frustrating!! Okay, so a better solution may be that BrickLink does
NOT gray out the options!!

  I would love to see tiles with stickers as a separate category from printed tiles.
I have seen this topic discussed on a few Lego Facebook Groups as well.

You can isolate parts with stickers from the search results by adding sticker*
to your search terms (to find only parts with stickers) or -sticker* (to filter
out parts with stickers)

You can also use goatleg.com as a shortcut

Yes, I use the above method as I am sure many others do as well. But the crazy
organizing gene in me thinks they should be in different categories. So I
vote for splitting out not only tiles that are stickered and printed, but ALL
decorated parts into stickered parts, and printed parts.

According to the catalog, this part comes in 5 sets in that color. All are Jack
Stone, from the 4 Juniors collection.

Maybe because the US women won the world cup by beating Netherlands 2-0?

So perhaps there are some soccer players in his inventory?

  Hello,

I have several stickered parts that I would like to add to the catalog. It has

Thank you so much! Just as in the other discussion, I was confused even after
reading it several times! So perhaps the instructions need to be rewritten?

Thanks again,

Lisa
