File the claim first before refunding as doing say may trigger a search for the

Agreed!!!
Often it gets delivered like 2 days just after you started a postal inquiery


LOL, iiiiinteresting. Thanks for the tip(s).

In the USA, at least, you can start an inquiry without filing an insurance claim.

Sounds right, though I've actually never done it.

I've actually shipped about 6k parcels between all the marketplaces now and
only had perhaps 3-5 truly disappear never to pop up again. I usually can convince
most buyers to wait, but this is a good idea to have in the toolbox

  Rather than suggesting that they could open a paypal claim to get refunded, why
not just refund them. The end result is the same, and you probably wouldnt have
received the NSS warning. Now you must refund to have it removed.

Additionally, if the buyer submits a PayPal claim and the seller contests it
and loses, the seller will get hit with an additional dispute fee.

That's possible, but I have a strong case. I have proof I shipped it, buyer
acknowledges this, I have confirmation from the shipper they lost it. So why
should I loose this claim? That would be very sad but maybe not impossible. That's
a risk I need to take. The proposal I should just refund it out of my own pocket
while there's paid for insurance is just ridiculous. Then I can place a thousand
orders and once received place a NSS on every single one of them hoping the seller
will refund me right away. Hurray, thousand orders received without spending
a single penny!


Serious stop with the hyperbole.


You've had now many experienced sellers explain to you that you are mistaken,
wrong, etc and what you should do differently/ what you MUST do differently.
You clearly don't understand how PP works, which baffles me at 4K feedback,
but I've seen stranger things.


We use PP 100% basically in the USA, so I give you a little space for not having
used it all the time, but everything you've written is not only incorrect,
but wasting your BUYERS TIME, who did NOTHING WRONG. Here in the USA, unless
it's delivered, its the sellers problem, and my understanding is Europe is
even stricter.

Why on earth would you want to make your buyer do all this extra when they didn't
do anything wrong? Forget all your reasons, I just, I just can't imagine
treating a customer this way. They'll never come back.

I was wondering if there is a downloadable BrickLink parts database? I downloaded
the one from Rebrickable, but I have found that some of the Rebrickable part
descriptions do not match the BrickLink part descriptions.

I don't know, haven't check if there's something specific with messages.

I reply either by e-mail or if in an order directly in the order page.

Yes.

Seller ordered and paid the shipping.

It's the seller to take care of the insurance (and perceive the eventual
corresponding amount).

In rare cases the shipper may ask you to get from the buyer a signed document
declaring it's not been received... but normally buyer's not implied.

If you reply to the NSS with proof of shipping, Bricklink should remove the NSS.

  Please make changes to the following inventory:
 
Set No: 6846  Name: Tri-Star Voyager

6846-1 (Inv) Tri-Star Voyager
63 Parts, 1 Minifigure, 1984
Sets: Space: Classic Space

* Delete 2 Part 3070 Trans-Red Tile 1 x 1
* Add 2 Part 3024 Trans-Red Plate 1 x 1

Comments from Submitter:
Your set inventory lists this set containing 2 trans-red 1x1 tiles, but the instructions show that they are 1x1 plates (you can see the stud).

Based on the alternate builds on the back of the box, the trans-red 1x1 tiles
should be correct:

P.S.
There is a photo of the main model from the back but it is too small.

Correct, but you can simply refund him.

  The claim is opened so at the end a refund will be made,
if not by payal, then it will be by me. It's just sad that it's so difficult
to get a NSS that was not intended or is not in place, to be removed if the buyer
is not a fast responder.

If PayPal refunds the buyer it will be from your account, and you could get hit
with a dispute fee as well.

I don't know how long PayPal disputes take to resolve, but it's possible
the buyer could complete the NSS before it is resolved, and then you'll have
a permanent mark on your record, and you'll still lose money.

As far as I know, if the buyer get his full refund, seller can supply this info
to BL and they remove the NSS strike, even after the buyer completed it.

Hi,
Bought a 3# bag for $6 at the thrift store today of visibly vintage bricks.
Along with the milky white hinge coupling nylon and printed 'Garage'
and 'Theatre" bricks it also had a large handful of green 1x2, 2x2, 2x3
and 2x4 CA plates. After some research I found that they were only produced
in North America for a couple years (1963-1965) and never apart of a set just
an accessory box. Is there a market for these and how would I go about selling
them?

Also, a few of the pieces have the logos not squared up. One stud will be 'printed'
at an angle. How does this even happen?

Vintage needs to be more than 50 years old not 20, in my opinion.

  In Problem Order, Dhobeck writes:
  Hi I received an order today it mostly consisted of instructions. I purchased
the instructions to complete used sets but this is how I received them. All of
the other ones had fold parts I don’t want to be difficult however I do plan
on rebuilding them in to sets and selling them. Would this be enough to warrant
a partial refund?

Damage should be noted by the seller, but honestly there is not enough information
here.

You say you ordered instructions? What was the total value? Were all of them
in the same condition?

I ordered 6 instructions, 2 parts, and 1 set. For the instructions it was $2.40,
the parts were $0.55, and the set was $10.91. The parts and set were in great
condition. The 2 instructions shown in the first post were the only ones I was
concerned about.

  
You are showing 60 cents worth of instructions, so you can rebuild a $10 set
to resell?

Basically yes

  
I'm just trying to put things in perspective here.

Also despite the low value of the instructions, few sellers seem to have them
in stock, so you have to weigh what it would have cost you to make a separate
order.

If someone wants a pristine copy of instructions, they can download them directly
from LEGO.
