That's funny, my page says 'A fresh new look for My BL is here!
Check out our new, efficient design! You can switch back to the original view
at any time.'
I guess I've never used any of the 'new' pages. They are all too
spread out and bright.

Agreed, but I'd rather it didn't waste the space saying it, we both have
chosen the one that we like years ago.

No. If buyer wants a change it is usually just the odd brick. I just refund
it and eat the fraction of a penny in fees rather than spend the time going through
the form. Life is too short for that. If it were expensive it might be different.
It's not as if you get the PayPal fee back anyway.

They have been equally distributed for some time now. Sealed cartons contain
three sets. So if you are first to a box, then then each character should be
evenly distributed. Whereas if you get to a box where someone has weighed them,
there is a possibility that someone has removed popular ones for resale or
their collection. That is less likely to happen now there is a more significant
barrier compared to the feeling approach of identifying them.

I still miss the first two series, where you could memorise the barcode pattern
and get what you want.

| I've a few coincidences out of the thousands of orders I've had.
My family lives spread out over the UK, I have had orders from someone who lives
on my dad's road, my sister's road and the road I grew up on. None of
these buyers know us.
I have also had a sale from a guy who I was in the process of buying from eBay.
For the same value as well, which confused me enormously looking at my paypal
account.
One thing that hasn't happened but would be great is to make a sale to a
buyer that I know from outside the lego world.

thanks a lot, I see I have done that (sometimes), and whilst it says 4000 have
the item on the wanted list, only one notification is sent presumably because
we are limiting our shipping to UK only
Is there a GDPR or other reason why they cant share interest parties USer ID
to make direct approaches?
Any other helpful selling tips would be gratefully received...! so much cheaper
than EBAY here ! their fees are extortionate when you add promotion, its around
25% in total.

Is there a tool which matches you with the buyers who have something on a wanted
list when you advertise?
do they get a notification when you list something they have as "wanted"
If not, why not, surely they are missing a trick here ! would make for much faster
sales.
many thanks

When you add stock to your store there is a 'send out wanted list notification'
button.
As a buyer you can opt to be notified when sellers list items on your wanted
lists.
|
|
Sending you contact details of users who match your parts on their wanted lists
would definitely be a huge data breach.
If your store has a decent range and attractive prices, buyers will find you
quickly enough.

Those prices seem to me to be placeholders on items that really should be in
a stockroom rather than for sale. But hey, someone may want one desperately.

| | Hello!
I’m hoping that someone can offer some suggestions that I have not tried yet.
I have set # 7720. It was sitting in the basement for years. There is corrosion
on the metal conductors. I have used white vinegar and baking soda paste which
worked a bit. I also tried Coke but that was not so successful. I popped all
new batteries in and it is not working. There’s still some corrosion so that
might be the problem. Has anyone ever had this issue? What did you use? Did it
work when you were done?
I would appreciate any advice. I would hate to just have to part out this classic
set.

Have you tried a fibre glass pen?
