This dude doesn't respond to emails but has the audacity to say it was me
who wasn't compliant and gets me a negative mark as a buyer. What kind of
stupid rule is this? I request stipulations and specific shipping and I only
asked for an invoice draft, and I get labeled as a non payer when he never sent
me any invoice or responded to any of my emails? Where's the justice bricklinks?
Y'all deflected my complaint when I emailed you and now you're essentially
saying I was wrong? This site is wrong, along with little_pricks

I am sorry you have had this bad experience. Since you have had other good purchases,
you know that most BL transactions end with a good, happy result for both the
seller and the buyer.

If you have placed an order and then received an invoice that you do not like
or do not agree with, it is best to communicate that to the seller -- which
it sounds like you tried to do.

After that, if you prefer NOT to pay for an order, it is usually best to tell
that directly to the seller and ask them to Cancel the order. I cannot speak
for others, but I think if you ask nicely to cancel the order, most sellers will
do that for you graciously and without penalty such as Negative Feedback.

It definitely helps to be clear that you wish to Cancel and will not be sending
payment.

For me, as a seller, I only give Negative Feedback for non-payment if I never
get any communications from the buyer, typically after several months. If they
ask me to Cancel the order, for whatever reason or no reason at all, I happily
do that without giving Negative Feedback.

I wish you good luck in getting this resolved and good luck with future BL purchases.

____I did email the seller multiple times i was not interested unless i could get it within a certain time frame. No response from either email. And when i inquired about his complaints filed against me, still no response from the seller

Regardless of if you're right or not, this attitude has won you a spot on
my stop list.

I did everything properly and i'm fed-up with the non-responsiveness from
either bricklink or the seller. I've never had any issues with anybody
or any shop otherwise. They act like i don't exist and have yet to respond
to a single email. The only problems exists with Bricklink not enforcing its
own rules and the seller having no integrity.

Hello,

There's a couple things here that don't make sense:

I don't know what you mean by an 'invoice draft.' Did you Request
a Quote or place an order? Placing an order is stated to be a binding contract.
(Although many sellers do allow buyers to cancel.)

Also, I am fairly sure you can't submit an NPB without having previously
sent an invoice. Is it possible that you missed it or did not realize what it
was?

It sounds to me that there has been a significant misunderstanding between you
and how some purchases work on BrickLink.

It's important to read all the terms and specifics when you are buying from
this site. Also, check your spam folders as some messages from BrickLink end
up there.

You also come across here as fairly abrasive. Calling names on the Forum is not
going to get you any resolution other than finding yourself on many more stoplists.

Sorry that you had this bad experience!

~Jen

  Where's the justice bricklinks?

(Woah steady on there! The correct proper term is B-r-i-c-k-L-i-n-k.
Well though, at least you didn't say Legos.)

There's a quote system separate from invoices.
https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=2437&q=quote

If sellers don't have quotes set up, you'd have to message them to request
one.

Otherwise:

"Items will be reserved for you, and you will be obligated to purchase them."

I kind of see what you mean, but regardless, his checkout says choose a shipping
method after receiving invoice. I emailed him about the shipping method multiple
times, no response, then all of a sudden the seller reports me.

Did you use this type of juvenile abuse in any communication with the seller?

How about people honor their word and not actually act like children. I pay everything
I promise. This isn't an example of it.

Okay, I just did some more digging. How are they only sending invoicing through
Paypal and not BrickLink Onsite??

I imagine they are using paypal's "request payment" feature. Doing
this could be very dodgy, as it won't collect/pay the tax when due to BL
and it can also be set up to take the payment as Family and Friends rather than
as a business transaction, voiding payment protection.
