  Do you prefer to wait until the minifig is approved before filing the removals?

I think it would be best to wait until you've had some time to calm down
so that we can have a more rational discussion on this topic.

You asked for me to be constructive rather than destructive criticism, so I have
started adding missing figures to the catalogue using these published Figure
guidelines: https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=170

Figure classification can sometimes be difficult. Therefore, this section
further clarifies how BrickLink decides if an item is a figure or not.

Figures: Characters, fantasy creatures, humans, mechanical objects, and statues.
Additional clarifications listed below.
Characters - These typically have a face and a name, but always display sentient
behavior beyond that of a similar animal or object.


Nick Bluetooth and so on all come under character, don't they? Even Shimmel.

There is also this rule from the Adding Catalog Items Help Page:

Large part assemblies. - Large assemblies of parts that can be built into
figures, vehicles, or other structures often comprise a substantial portion of
a set and should not be added to the catalog. An exception has been made in the
past for some DUPLO vehicles representing fictional characters and some other
large assemblies with the Item Number prefix "spa" which were added as experiment.


If the entire set (or half the set) is used to build a figure / character, we
would be going against precedent to add it to the catalog. Adding it as a minifigure
is even a further stretch.

And exactly here is the problem when you and your catalogue team do not speak
with one voice or even have a comparative understanding of what is happening.
The page you refer to:
https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=71
was updated on 18 November 2020 by you, but you apparently did not check that
that the catalogue item minifig does not exist any longer. The information relating
to large part assemblies of figures and the thing previously known as a minifig
have been replaced by the new definition of a "figure"

The new definition of figures are on this page:
https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=170
which has been in existence and confirmed as being active since 1 June 2020 and
which are the definitions used to add the figure items to the catalogue.

On that definition, there is no such thing as a minifig. There are only figures.
A figure can be any size part assembly, says so right there. There is no specific
limitation as to number of parts. There is no specific limitation as to what
percentage of the set must be made up to the figure. For an item to be a catalogue
item as a figure, the only standard that has to be met is that it must be an
autonomous entity. You and your catalogue team should perhaps get together and
actually fix the cross references and actually speak with one voice as to what
exactly is meant when catalogue items are discussed.

It has been pointed out ad nauseum that we still do not have a definition for
a complete minifigure (whatever that is, see above) either - so perhaps it would
be best to complete the definitions such that users are not confused.

And if these figures (note: figures) are in fact figures by definition, there
should be absolutely no reason not to add them as catalogue items.

  Message Templates: Edit Order Invoice
Email subject
"Invoice for BrickLink Order #"

The Email subject is fixed / not modifiable, and I would like it to be editable
to suit my store's needs. E.g. replace the word 'Invoice' with something
else.

So I suggest to make this editable, including support for the macro's
in order to be able to match the email subject better with the contents of the
invoice template.

It is located on this page:
https://www.bricklink.com/v2/mystore/message_templates.page#/1

Thx,
Arnoud

Uh, never noticed this inability before.

What are some other possible uses beyond the macro tag mentioned, would edit-ability
be beneficial to the seller?

For VAT registered businesses the ability to call it a "Tax Invoice" as is legally
required to do;
For other sellers, the BL "invoice" is actually a summary of the order with an
account number for settlemet. It is not actually an invoice, so it would be better
to call it "order summary and payment details"
For international freight, the BL invoice does not suffice even if customised
as it is just a summary with some account details;
I've noticed some states calls the document on which US sales tax is raised
a "receipt", "bill" or even "memorandum of sale". It should be possible to correctly
state what is issued;
For US states, sellers are not collecting nor paying over sales tax so no seller
can raise a financial obligation to the buyer on their invoice. Sellers selling
to USA buyers should be able to head the document "BrickLink Sales Tax Bill"
to avoid confusion and misrepresentation.

I do not know the situation in the USA, but here all documents issued purporting
to be a business invoice must at the very least have numbers which follow on
or in series. The document currently called "invoice" fails on this and it would
be better if that can be retitled memorandum or sales bill or sales note or whatever
is suitable, anything but an invoice actually.

As leg assemblies are not being inventoried, perhaps these parts not appearing

  As some have already mentioned, we are presently working to improve the way the
site handles dimensions. The first step in the project will allow users to submit
packaging dimensions (which henceforth will be called "packing dimensions") through
the normal catalog upload forms.

These dimensions will be displayed on the catalog detail page. For parts, we
will leave the stud dimensions where they are and the packing dimensions will
be shown underneath, in centimeters (or inches, if that is how you have your
preferences set up).

On the catalog upload forms, the dimensions will be entered in centimeters. Users
will accumulate catalog credits for uploading packing dimensions data.

This project is currently underway.

So we are moving from the current millimeters to centimeters? Does that
mean all current measurements will be restated simply by a factor of 10? Are
there controls in place to ensure:
1. that this conversion is handled properly?;
2. that both inventory views are updated at the same time to ensure that custom
and catalogue dimensions for all items in seller inventories are correctly converted
to centimeter?;
3. that both inventory views display correctly in future?
4. That seller shipping methods and restrictions are updated automatically?
5. That you stress test catalogue items in carts first to make sure that the
correct answers are given for such carts?
6. That all current carts and open orders are not impacted with a change which
would make it impossible to continue with the order or having to redo the cart
entirely?

If the above cannot be done, it might be better to keep the standard as millimeters

I think you should also have the catalogue admins set the standards of how the
measurements should be taken prior to giving them the responsibility of approving
member requests for changes and ensure that the community is made aware of these
standards. It serves no purpose to make it easier to make submissions and then
3 years from now, we need a catalogue project again to fix everything back to
some defined standard.

Some standards:
The level of precision (should be 2 decimals in mm and 3 if you really are going
to cm)
How foldable and parts such as strings are measured;
How parts with two possible packing methods supplied by TLG are measured (eg
string loose and string wound around the cardboard insert);
How minifigures are measured;
How items in cardboard sleeves are measured when included with minifigures or
other parts;
How boxes are measured;
Standardise the measurement of decorated parts;
Automatically add measurements for new decorated parts form the standard measurement;
Automatically apply dimensions when variants are split;
When an item is defaulted to weight and when it is defaulted to volume;
Define the standard for weight and volume default if these default settings are
to be fixed by users at the time of submission;
How to determine the x y and z sides so that dimensions are displayed correctly
(I know it does not make any difference to actual volume calculations, but it
looks a bit neater if all parts are 8 x 8 x 16 and not some at 8 x 16 x 8 or
16 x 8 x 8)
Etc.

  Hi all!

I didn't find any question about that in the Forum, so, I'm asking.

Since Chip is a realt character as Ms Potts o Cogsworth are, why it is not considered
as a Minifigure instead of a normal Decorated Utensil?

Thank you and Happy New Year

[p=38014pb01]

https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=38014pb01&idColor=1#T=P&C=1

Also [p=3899pb006]
although I see Mrs Potts is now a minifigure

I don't think the debate around category definitions got finished, so probably
there are still issues with consistency.

Has a decision been made on this? Or can a note be added to 3684a that the slope
face might have different textures while it is in limbo so sellers can just list
and be done with it? To be honest, I have no idea how to tell the difference.

Probably will not be implemented as most of USA market do not have a payment
method to accommodate in store collection and cash payments are not allowed except
in the few states where taxes are not an issue. New sellers also will not be
able to accommodate requests such as these as they can only work with onsite
payment methods for the first 10 orders, so no cash payments there either. It
is probably also not efficient to ship with tracking in the same town.


...

  
What is wrong with paying onsite and picking up in person?

Buyers lose buyer protection for paypal payments. Site management has stated
that arrangements where buyers lose buyer protection are not allowed on BrickLink.

If the buyer pays paypal onsite whilst at your premises and it is funded by a
card (you would not know), the transaction is not valid if the seller does not
display VISA/Mastercard signs at the premises;

If the buyer pays with stripe at your premises, the transaction is not valid
if the seller does not display VISA/Mastercard signs at the premises;

The payment method allowed for in person pickups using paypal is a paypal generated
QR Code. BL has not implemented that. You might be able to use stripe, subject
to certain provisos for card issuers and stripe themselves. You cannot use any
other payment method in the USA where taxes are collected by BL on behalf of
the buyer.

Also, your taxes are collected by county, not so? If the address for record purposes
is your house and the buyer lives in another county with a different tax rate,
who is responsible for collecting the correct tax and paying it over? And if
you can move goods without paying the correct tax, why do we have bother with
this on BL?

  The seller would lose
seller protection if the buyer paid via PayPal (no proof of shipping), but it
is their decision whether or not to take that risk. I think the OP is only talking
about local pickup or shipping and not cash payments.

Local pickups probably has to be paid for with an acceptable payment method for
BL to collect your taxes. The seller protection is not the only issue in the
USA.

  Even when you are shipping
within a state, postage rates may vary from one city to another. Transit times
also vary. However, whether or not those time and money savings are worthwhile
is debatable.

See the note with the taxes above as well. I personally do not see anything wrong
with in person pickup or in fact deliveries. Buyers have always been very happy
when I deliver orders in person, but I can collect the monies in a suitable manner.
For USA users this seems to be an almost impossible thing to do.

We have already the list by country and province/state.
We could add the city.

Also in the Buy Wanted Lists/Items for sale, we could add with the country and
the contient, a "near by X kms" or something like that.

It is a legal requirement for me to disclose my address in my terms, and it is
done. I would prefer it not to be in my terms only as buyers tend not to read
and still ask. I think a lot of sellers would prefer this to be an opt in and
not a have to.

  To my knowledge, the LEGO Group does not have sealed-set contents data that they
can pass on to us. They know what is supposed to come in any given set, but BrickLink
inventories are based on what is actually found inside a sealed product.

That's the weirdest answer I've ever heard.
TLG is able to print a fill inventory at the end of many building instructions.
Why not start with this data?
If real sealed sets show differences (how often did this happen?), then the initial
data can be corrected or enhanced.

Not all sets have parts lists in the instructions. This applies to newer as well
as older sets;
Not all parts lists are on TLG's website;
Not all parts lists on TLG's website are complete;
New parts needs dimensions, weights and packing dimensions for the catalogue
- TLG does not supply that;
Real sealed sets often show differences (check inventories for alternates);
Last but not least - the data TLG releases is filled in when an inventory is
first loaded. I've done more than a few inventories in my time and I doubt
I've ever had one that was 100% correct from the TLG available data.

This is of course where the classic site has always needed volunteers. In XP
BrickLink is going it alone - so presumably it might well be that you end up
with a catalogue over there which will include inventories only available as
TLG releases same.

No options, but similar to the suggestion you got already for the single wantlist,
sincerest thanks to user NelisSolis who took the time to teach me how to edit
xml files:

Replace all my square brackets with angled brackets

Download that single wantlist and open with notepad.
Delete the first line [?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?]
Press Ctrl+h
In find what, copy [NOTIFY]Y[/NOTIFY]
In replace with [NOTIFY]N[/NOTIFY]
You can "replace all" or cycle through the whole lot manually if you want to
leave some the same
Once complete close the pop-up, then Ctrl+a, then Ctrl+c
In your browser: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/wanted/upload.page?utm_content=subnav
Click on "Upload BrickLink XML format"
Select "create new wanted list" and name it
Paste into the window and verify.

Once correct as you want it, delete the old WL. This is how I normally do it
for users who ask me to help with remainder items or with foreign based orders
still to be done.

The only way I found to do it in mass was downloading it, and changing the notify

$40 just to tear open a sealed bag for a few 1x1 tiles It would be a costly
crime. I think a lot of people want to keep it sealed, but there have to be at
least a few people who are willing to open it, or already have.

Looks like you have to buy some tacky clothing at levi.com to get it and almost
everything is sold out.

It is available here with the sewatshirt, but it is summer now and it costs $100.
I do not pay that much for clothes - even with the promise of exclusive LEGO.

But you could sell those dots in your store for over $1.

Nah, the normal dots parts certainly not. I think there are 8 or so exclusive
tiles in the packet and they won't sell for $12.50 each I should think.

  I believe there was quite the discussion about this unusual piece when it first
came out. From Brick Modified to Technic to Door Frame, everyone seemed to think
it should be anywhere but panel.

In case it somehow influences the discussion I should point out that LEGO has
put it in the same category in their database as the sort of parts Bricklink
labels "brick, modified".

I definitely agree panel is the wrong place for it. Technic isn't suitable
either.
Given how its been used in sets (between modules in some spaceships/stations
and one underwater station), Door Frame seems logical to me. That or Brick,
Modified like LEGO labeled it.

Before that would be better do the Catalog project 29.9 that is:

Combine Door Frame and Window categories presumably to make a Frame category
and define it.

+1 and also project 25. But the roadmap does seem to have hit a patch of quicksand
again, so maybe that part should just be requested to go to door frame (it is
definitely not a panel)

that you want to proceed with an order with zero shipping, and all you have to
do is say yes to proceed instead of either eating shipping costs on quotes, or
having to look unprofessional in front of customers asking for shipping fees.

Why is it unprofessional to send an invoice and demand payment for the financial
liability the buyer agreed to? I might be misunderstanding your suggestion. You
do know obviously that there are three different final buttons, depending on
your store setup? In your case as a non-IC store, the final button specifically
says the seller will send an invoice. I cannot see as you do not ship to me (and
I will not change my address), but do you have the quote function actually enabled
as well?

And last but not least - have someone in Canada check for you which shipping
option BL automatically picks for a buyer. It might very well be that one of
your pickup options are chosen for buyers and they just click through. There
are very experienced return buyers in my store who still click through with the
incorrect default shipping method BL chooses for them.

  I want to mass update the dimensions of the minifigs in my inventory.

You should not at this time, see below.

  
Is it possible using the BrickLink user interface? Or should I look into a solution
using inventory download, adjusting the fields on my computer and re-upload the
inventory?

Not on BL, you have to use xml files to mass edit dimensions. And do not do this
at least until BL has fixed the new improved inventory page which still does
not work. If you make your own dimensions and change anything (quantities, prices,
settings, tiers whatever) the z dimension become the same as the x dimension
and you have to redo everything you did for the dimension change in the first
case.

If you decide to continue, change all your minifigs to volume by downloading
your inventory, keeping the lot numbers and making the condition of INVTREATAS
equal to S.
Then set your dimensions with INVDIMX, INVDIMY and INVDIMZ for each individual
minifig or pick a standard dimension and copy that in. Upload the new xml file
as a mass update.

Make sure you keep backups of the files and edit them manually every time you
add, remove of sell a lot. See the below threads as well.

It would be good to have an extra step, showing the buyer exactly how their address
will appear to sellers with a check box saying that they agree it is in the correct
format.

+1

  


I once had a buyer that was along the lines of:
A Name
1 Street Name
LONDON
LONDON
London AB1 2CD
United Kingdom

I think they lived in London! I missed out two lines of the address and the parcel
still got there fine.

A seller once got my address completely wrong. When I complained I was bluntly
told to move to a country with easier addresses (format here is street, TOWN,
post code, country). After 2 delivery attempts a front desk post office employee
working in the sorting room by chance saw it with the RTS sticker already on
and corrected the address. Took 5 months to get delivered.

With international addresses it sometimes is not clear what is the city, what
is the region, what is the streetname, etc.

Use the UPU tool, then it is easy to see:
https://www.upu.int/en/Postal-Solutions/Programmes-Services/Addressing-Solutions#scroll-nav__5

  
And even with national addresses it is not clear. I just had somebody with two
streetnames and numbers. This is probably the address 1 streetname, number and
the optional address 2 streetname, number. But when shipping I can only use one
address. When would I as a seller use the optional address, how would i know
to use it?

The buyer should tell you, surely?

  
And it would also be useful if the address is filled out in 'english'
(i.e. no chinese, russian, israelian characters that are not always available
in shipping label apps)

For international orders there are countries which require addresses to be written
in national alphabet. It would be better if the information is actually available
in BL as it is required by the buyer's postal system as it is a pain to get
the required information after the fact from buyers.
https://www.upu.int/UPU/media/upu/documents/PostCode/Universal-POSTCODE%C2%AE-DataBase-specific-FAQs.pdf

It is actually up to the buyer to provide the correct information, but buyers
are rather limited by BL's way of doing things.

It is presumably also an unfair business practice in other economies to not include
important information in a promotion. Negating a discount through fees is sort
of important information.

I'm not sure I understand... if all fees are disclosed on the store terms
page, why does a quick 5% off post need to have the fees included in it?

See below

  
  
  
Are you included shipping charges in that statement?

@Jean: Good relevant request even though personally I structurally ignore all
those sales posts.

@Firestar:
Because in at least one of the world's countries it is illegal not to explicitly
disclose this essential information in the advertisement itself. https://www.reclamecode.nl/nrc_taxonomy/algemeen/
#8.4 Disclosure of full address and all costs are deemed essential for distant
selling advertisements.

And indeed, if you advertise 5% off on everything, that must include the same
discount on shipping unless specified otherwise. If the discount is on the products
only, the sale post is in fact misleading,

  which is illegal as well. That means that the majority of sales posts here on Bricklink are in fact breaking the ToS to comply with the applicable laws.

No offense, but...

The global stage of commerce is not mandated by the EU nor by any other specific
region in the world!

How can any rational thought expect all of the world's economic laws and
regs concatenated, be adhered to in a single transaction? If such a thing were
actually attempted, it would cripple commerce with conflation and disaccord

None of what was said is any way determined to take away rational thinking. If
sale terms specifically wish to exploit a certain loophole, then just say so.
There is nothing in any law which prevents a seller from advertising goods to
the exclusion of another region or a specific person.

My original post was for the site to stop a certain mercenary practice, which
you would think should be good sense anyway. Which is to give the customer all
of the required information upfront as part of the promotion.

Alternatively put, imagine if your local supermarket advertises with a mail shot
that all soap is 20% off terms only in store. Climb in your car, get to the store,
put the items in a cart when there are no specific terms mentioned on the item
shelf, walk to the till and then get hit a 25% surcharge for packaging on soap.
When you say, no this is not what was advertised, the till operator points to
a small sign next to the till which says this. And then refuse to cancel your
purchase and force you to pay before you can leave. And throws a hissy fit. And
bars you from ever coming back.

If this sort of practice makes sense, it would be understandable that one would
balk at the notion of actually giving customers all of the required information
needed to make a binding decision.

Many sellers absolutely cannot stand the thought of cancelling an order if a
buyer asks them to. I should like to think that sellers be allowed to set the
hook once a customer nibbles, provided the lure they hang out is not coated with
poison.
  
Who wouldn't want to hand their personal business decisions over to unelected
bureaucrats of other nations Let's not go down that rabbit hole of which
nation's law/regs are to be adopted and to what extent, not yet anyway!

Laws, regulations and taxes on this side of the pond, are created by those we
elect or have chosen to represent our interest. Hopefully it's the
same for you and others.

Politics - willingly giving some people permission to tell you what to think
and make you pay for the privilege.

  
My point is simple, be more reserved with such terms as "illegal" when applying
it to the actions other members, as some are wont to do here.

It's moot anyway, as the global path that BL/TLG takes and expresses in their
ToS contract, is what we've agreed to. It's the site that is threading
the needle, in other words.

-popsicle

Yes the ToS says a lot of things many sellers do not care for and actually do
not do or know about. So does PayPal's terms, so does every other commercial
entity. We can expect to self-police and be good at it as adults, but self-policing
(which is what I think you mean here, but I could be wrong) does not really work
- actually I've not known of any organisation which has tried to self-police
and be successful at it. If self policing was in any way successful, then feedback
would have been the most trustworthy aspect of this site.

I see it as a minifigure consisting of one part in the figure inventory. That
both the part and the minifigure are the same is immaterial. This is why we need
the definitions and consistency. It should be able to be sold as a part as well
as a complete figure if it is defined as such. Does not change the part count
on the set, does not do anything other than assign a PCC from TLG to the part,
which would not be possible if it was only there as a minifigure.

It is not in principle any different to a baseplate set.

some assembly so therefore he is listed both as part and brick so he's a

animal or part. Since making a double listing for the bat and the character minifig
would probably make things even worse.

Even then, it needs to be clearer. For example, this sentence ...

They were still busy getting those properly done, and had plans for moving items
as well to answer Chritian also. I think these things comes in fits and starts
and the long delays in between and just makes it more of a mess and ads to the
inconsistencies.

Personally, I would prefer the sets with named characters as figures consisting
of parts and an inventory, even if just one part. That way sets with Polly can
have characters and sets without can have parts and Polly can be a figure or
an animal air part or both. Then we can search for either the part or the figure.
But of no use until we know what a complete figure is and in fact what a figure
(minifigure or otherwise) is.
  
Animals - Animals, including pets with names, are not figures unless they
are characters or otherwise display exceptional behavior.


What does that mean? What is a character if not an a lifeform that is named?
An animal like Scooby Doo, he is a pet with a name, but surely he is also a character.
What about Santa's Little Help or Snowball II. Are they high enough billing
to be characters?

 
Minifig No: elf055  Name: Shadow Bat, Hippo (6214358)
* 
elf055 Shadow Bat, Hippo (6214358)
Minifigures: Elves
is named and therefore is a character in the Elves storyline.

If you give an animal a name, do they not become a character in whatever storyline
they appear in.

What about one without the lid? He doesn't wear the lid as a hat when he
leaves the trash can, does he?

Presumably you must still follow the headgear rule.

If rules are there to be broken though, why not have yet another version?

We now have a listing for
the head
the head, body and trash can lid
the head, body, trash can lid and trash can.

So might as well go for a full house and have the head and body. It makes it
harder to list and buy/sell by spreading the listings like this. And there are
other characters that come with things that might be important/unimportant depending
on the buyer/seller. It just shows how much an incomplete minifigure feature
is needed. In this case, the complete figure could be the group of four items,
and anything else is incomplete.

I fully agree, for what it is worth. I have no problem with BL defining what
a minifigure is, what it must consist of, how it must inventoried or indeed how
it must be listed. But then BL must have clear written rules and they must allow
catmins to actually apply those rules consistently. Only then can you actually
have rules for listing items, not before. Only then can you say I will remove
listings with no recourse or appeal. Only then can you say I do not want a thing
appearing in listings. Making up arbitrary decisions and rules to suit a specific
situation on a specific day does not help anything or anybody.

But it is their catalogue, they are going to do as they please and some buyers
will buy things expecting other things and so on and so forth.

Comments from Submitter:
Part does not attach see also instructions page 3

As others have said, it's an integral part of the minifig. I'm not so
sure there is a rule about things having to attach, but in this case, and in
the other case you raised with the jewel, we'll make an exception instead
of changing these inventories.

The skis are another issue. It used to be they were not added consistently, then
we started adding them as a rule, but now we are thinking of removing them. We
need to wait until there is a decision about this before moving forward.

???
The rule not to have ski's is already in place and has been since 2018. See
the page I quoted when making the requests, it is the reason I quoted the rule
and made the changes. I was not aware that if something is a published rule it
is still something is being thought about or that needs to be decided on.

And just to be clear, and a general point for all who have left comments, I was
not making these requests to prove a point. The issue is that the site is removing
listings for incomplete minifigures from sellers stores. If we cannot know what
the site consistently defines as a minifigure and what consistently needs to
be included in minifigures and how set inventories are done, it makes a mockery
of the listing requirements. If we cannot trust the site to enforce catalogue
rules evenly and even-handedly across the board, the catalogue cannot be trusted
and then listings cannot be trusted.

While I am sure that reasonable sellers would not exclude these parts from minifigures
they sell, there is in fact nothing that precludes a seller from doing so. If
the rules are bad rules, change them. If the rules are good rules, apply them
consistently. That way management improves the catalogue and hence listings and
hence the site overall. That would be infinitely better than the current unwritten
substance over form rule which cannot be appealed.
