| | Hello,
Over the past half-year, I have accumulated over 1,300 Minifig heads, 800 Torsos,
and around 800 or so headgear/hair. As I do not want to sift through and upload
individually, what would be the best way to sell these? They are all clean and
free of dust and I would be willing to sell at a great discount.
Thanks!
|
If the price is right I am interested in buying the 1300 heads.

| Hello there,
Check my store for a very good deals on sets and minifigures. I try to keep my

Hi,
“Negatives” (like differences and intersections) are difficult to manage here
(Truth be told, “positives” (merges) are a pain too….)
The solutions I can see (at this early hour…) are a bit complicated:
On BL only:
Solution 1: Make an order. Use ‘Apply Order’ to your WL.
Solution 2: Go to the Buy page. Select your Wanted List on the left then change
to the ‘Wanted Items’ tab (be sure both checkboxes ar ticked). Click ‘Apply.’
Find the store in the list of potential stores. Click on its line (NOT on its
name, but near it). The items that are available in the store will be in green
or yellow, the ones that aren’t will be in black, plus, the available and wanted
quantities will be under the items (as “A/w (W)” where A is available in the
store, w is (Want minus Have), and W is Want).
To then make a WL or modify your WL with that is an exercise left to the reader….
With BrickStore or Rebrickable:
Make a cart in the shop. Download the cart (can be done in BS, for RB, I think
you first need to make a WL with the cart, which is possible from within the
cart). And make a diff with your original WL. Upload the diff.

Terms do matter after the order is placed and received, especially if they werent
read beforehand. For example, they still have this in their terms "If buyer
is not satisfied with product, buyer will pay return shipping as well as a 20%
restocking fee. Remaining balance will be refunded as store credit or through
Paypal (Buyer Choice)." So what the seller is saying is that if they send
poor quality parts, the buyer has to pay for return shipping and a 20% fine for
not being satisfied. In that case, it might not be worth returning the parts,
or even bothering to tell the seller. If they leave appropriate feedback, they'll
probably get a negative back. So instead, they don't leave feedback even
though they are dissatisfied, and least favourite the store so they never have
to deal with them again.

LOL! No I wouldn't either. Clearly they know your value and keep coming
back.
Check out this thread from a month ago and look at the last post from a few minutes
ago. I'm going to go back and look at all the other new buyers to see if
they're doing the same. https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1462614

To your question though, it's frustrating as hell; especially as a new store.
60% seems to be the norm lately.
|
I’m averaging about 64% but I have had fewer orders than you
|
Early on I was at 70% or so but now just under 60%

I did also notice a first timer (to my store) that also left zero feedback anywhere.
TBH I almost never leave Ebay feedback anymore, so I don't complain. I only
do it here and on Mercari (because they force you to)

Yeah, that's what I was getting at: pouring resources into useless changes
that nobody asked for and acting like they're doing work when the important
stuff gets swept under the rug
But hey, make sure you pay your seller fees or else we'll shut your store
down! We need to fund more useless projects instead of tackling things people
have been asking for for years now!

Agreed with this - and I love the recent Catalog merges.
