Hello, I was sold fake lego and upon doing my own independent research, it seems
like Bricklink doesn't do anything to help. I see the standards that they
claim with requiring sellers to offer legitimate lego, but no real way to solve
problems when these things happen.

Am I wrong? I made a substantial purchase.

could you provide images of said lego, please? there were videos going around
that were somewhat popular that were claiming real lego is fake but those were
officially disproven by lego and bricklink. if the items are obviously fake (such
as no logo on the top of the torso and such) then file a Paypal claim/claim with
your bank and you can get a refund.

Agreed with Nubs, post some pictures here and get a consensus opinion

What exactly was it you bought that you believe to be fake ?

Where (country) was the seller located ?

Words tell a story, pictures prove a point.
