Now that's (another) original name 
But I'm not sure I should be flattered or angry right now...

I always thought you picked 1001bricks because 1bricks thru 1000bricks were already
taken so you settled for 1001bricks.
You could just rename your shop to "99 bottles of bricks on the wall".

As long as you refunded thru PayPal you shouldn't have any problems because
now you have proof to show BrickLink that the order was refunded so an NSS can
not be completed against you.

I disagree that it’s normal to refund extra. Compared to a retail storefront
one never would get a credit more than the item’s value, for something missing
or damaged. It’s because we have a feedback system that sellers are more willing
to be generous. However, such generosity should be acknowledged and not assumed.
|
with a store front you typically arent buying $1 or $2 items and then driving
back to get a refund as opposed to bricklink where if your missing a small part
you have to buy it online and pay shipping again for a mistake the seller made
so its quite normal to refund extra to cover shipping if the seller is the one
who made the mistake
|
I don't agree at all with you on this, see:
https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1381643
As written, people think their wanted-list of 487 Lots 1169 items will automagically
be
generated by non-paid minions into an order where no single physical part can
be missing.
This whole concept is 100% biased.
I've also written that if you do need 17 nails you buy a bag of 25 or half
a pound of them, but you don't ask for 17.
In short the eventual buyer argument "Now I'm missing 1, I'm obliged
to place another order" is unfair.
Or we could also say "Now as BrickLink had problems for couple of hours,
I've possibly lost 100$ - then I won't proportionnaly pay in my fees!"
In short, you should NOT, Nubs_Select or anyone, pay a whole hypothetical
order for a missing part (for a neglectable value).
Accessorily, this would be - for me - a kind of buying feedback or extortion:
"I give you 5 bucks so you're happy even if 0.03$ was (maybe) missing"
or "Give me 5 bucks for this 1x2 white plate or I'm unhappy and will
glue you a Red".
|
yah it might have been something that isn't normally done and I do agree
in general a full shipping refund is rarely needed but if you went to a store
for certain items which were promised as they were listed for sale and you now
have to buy elsewhere its generally just "normal" (at least on bl) to
refund a bit extra for shipping.
|
See my other post.
And if the buyer counted wrongly?
If he left one to fall in his carpet?
If his wanted-list wasn't exact?
Again, AFAIK, there's no other shop (apart Brockowl probably) where you can
order 480 lots and 1189 items for maybe less than 100$ - AND expect everything's
exact and seller has to compensated every damage including moral (a birthday
present? Xmas?) if you missed 0.03$
We're talking about an human activity completed at for example 99.995% "only"?
Sorry, but slavery has been abolished.
|
OK, so the seller should not have to pay extra for shipping but what about if
the customer contacts the store about a missing piece that is needed to complete
a project. Should the store have to send out a replacement missing piece to the
customer so he can complete his project? How do you think that should that be
handled?

Anybody else recently experience this problem?

Looks like they changed the way the search works with quotes, it doesn't
work with them at all any more.
I also agree that it is much faster, though that is not really relevant to the
post.
|
Had a feeling it had something to do with the quotes. Just tried another site
like the one I mentioned and that didn't work either.
|
Yeah, they are all not working. I hope at least one of them makes the necessary
changes to their search operations so as to work again with BrickLink. I would
be willing to help by making a donation to help pay for the time it would take
to change the search code and I would imagine others would too, hint, hint.

Alternatively, you can post the image somewhere like imgur where it's free
and no account requested, and run a google search on the image.
See the result:
https://imgur.com/a/EZQXm2J
When the image is clear and simple it'll find it instantly.
This can save you the 30 seconds it'd take to the community to get the result
|
Interesting, have you tried that with minifigure torsos?
Oh, and it didn't take 30 seconds it took 300 SECONDS!! Come on guys - way
WAY tooooo long  . In the old days (last week) there would have been 4
posts in response within the first 22 seconds.
