  Hallo an alle. Bin ziemlich neu in der Verkaufsmaterie. Könntet Ihr mir bitte
helfen beim Versand von zwei Stück Lego Minifiguren nach USA. Wie versende ich
am besten? Gent es per Maxibrief noch da es Waren sind? Als Paket mit Verfolgung?
Wie hoch sind Versandkosten? Wie fülle ich Zollerklärung aus? Oder lohnt es sich
bei dieser kleinen Menge ( Wert ca 50 Euro ) gar nicht. Vielen lieben Dank Steffen

Hallo Steffen,

gemäß Weltpostvertrag ist es nicht mehr gestattet, Warensendungen per Briefpost
zu versenden. Du hast also nur die Möglichkeit per Päckchen oder Paket zu versenden.
Als Geschäftskunde kannst du mit DHL einen Vertrag abschließen in dem du dich
verpflichtest jährlich mehr als 200 Sendungen zu versenden. Dann steht dir noch
die günstigere Alternative mit DHL "Warenpost International" offen. Unabhängig
davon mußt du, für alle internationalen (außerhalb der EU) Handelssendungen,
Zolldeklarationen ausfüllen. Die einzelnen Versender haben dafür eigene Formulare.
Bei Zahlung per Paypal ist es immer angebracht mit Sendungsverfolgung zu versenden,
da du ansonsten deinen Verkäuferschutz verlierst.

Gruß
Werner

Anybody have an idea what it is worth? Can not find anything
On the internet about prices, only that it is very rare.

Better with an image and a link:
 
Set No: 1016  Name: Letter Bricks for Wall Board
* 
1016-1 Letter Bricks for Wall Board
1985
Sets: Educational & Dacta: DUPLO: Learning


Thxs

You've got quite the rare set that even BrickEconomy doesn't have a price
on it.
https://www.brickeconomy.com/set/1016-1/lego-dacta-letter-bricks-for-wall-board

Yes, thats why my question over here. Look everywhere at the internet, no known
prices

Could you add the inventory to Bricklink? At least that would give you the part
out value as a starting point.

suddenly it appears on rebrickable, as new set. just 1 part of the set is at
bricklink. letter "a" 0.94 euro.
so total set incl box will be aroud 150 euro

Here you'll find the items:

It redirects to the v2 page anyway… unless you chose Classic I guess?

Yes I use Classic. My browser is Firefox. I've no other browser. I cleaned

Not only that. It's also the poor formatting here in the posts.

  Hello
I hope you can help me, I need to ship a Lego set #70622 to someone in Brazil,
Araraquara
city, Sao Paulo.

I understand that Toys are on the prohibited list coming through customs. Could
you please advise (hoping you would have this knowledge) what HS Code would customs
accept? Would they accept HS Code 95030060 Sets or 95030080 Sets for Construction
Toy?

The set doesn't have any metal, or motors, or batteries included.

Or is there another HS Code that will be accepted?

The reason why I ask is that I sent the above listed set on code 9530009 as 'toy'
or 950300
for short, and customs rejected it and the parcel was returned to me.

I would really appreciate your assistance in this matter.
Kind regards

it arrived, but it was missing a whole set and 2 parts (1/3th worth of total

i) before willing to refund.

Will an NSS prevent him from giving me a bad review out of revenge? I have not
gave feedback yet on the order page either out of fear that he will do that.
Seller has more bad reviews, my fault for not checking feedback, i know!
I would like to keep my clean slate clean for as long as i can, this is why i
am kind of afraid to give a bad review.

In his messaging he has been aggressive and saying things like 'do what you
have to do'.

I guess he means an nss then? Idk. Help


If the NSS case has occurred and the seller has rated you negatively, you can
have that rating removed.

  Thanks for the advice. This is the breakdown UPS just gave me:

GST - $32.84 (which I expected)
UPS Customs Brokerage Charges - $75.88
Total - $108.72


As a fellow Canadian, it's MY job to know what my the tax implications are,
not a seller in another country. How can they possibly be up to date on 250
country's tax laws.

From now on, you need to insist they send it USPS, UPS and FEDEX have mandatory
brokerage fees. They not only collect the tax, they charge you for doing the
paper work.

Now, you can refuse the item, have it go back to the seller and then ask for
the money back aside from the postage costs they paid. (because why should they
lose that when it's really on you to know your own country) or refuse it
and ask the seller to resend via usps and you pay that postage fee again.

UPS will also charge the seller for sending its back.

  Hey guys,
I always had positive experiences on Bricklink but I am a bit stumped on a recent
order and would appreciate feedback on what to do.

Bought a set sold as NISB. Seller shipped it fast, but packed it very poorly
using an old Amazon box and only put a little bit of brown paper within the box
itself (the same one Amazon uses). Wasn't enough to even cover the set entirely.

The package was delivered squashed and the inner box of the set was damaged (both
squashed, creased and also ended up tearing on one spot).

I contacted the seller asking for a discount. They said that if they can get
a refund from the carrier, they will give me a discount, but since I didn't
"accept the parcel with reserve" I was most likely out of luck (worth
noting the courier just left it at reception, I didn't even have a chance
to meet the delivery guy).

I contacted the seller again, reminding them that it's their responsibility
to sell the product as advertised (especially considering it was packed REALLY
BADLY).
They have been ignoring me since.

What do you think I should do?
I have never left a negative feedback before, but this doesn't seem right.
Any help is appreciated, thanks!


At first, I would open a NSR here on BL. The set was not as described.

you tried contacting your bank?

The bank can't help you. Go to the police and file a complaint!

The seller has to input it manually. Sometimes they forget or get lazy.


The seller must also manually enter the shipment number on Paypal, unless he
purchased the address label through Paypal.

NPB instead of cancelling the order.


With an NPB, yes, he would accept the buyer's terms. If the buyer then pays,
the seller must ship. The buyer is then free to also give a negative rating...

That was not my intention either. That it is not right is clear. But it would
not happen if the buyer does not ask.

“I was asked to do X” is not an excuse to do X, especially when X is illegal
in all the countries involved.  It’s called being an accomplice and generally
leads to the same punishment for everybody.

How should customs know that the sale was made via Bricklink?

Nope.  Sales taxes are a state & local issue, not a federal one.  US customs
don’t check it and don’t collect it.

So “not seen, not caught”… except the US states’ authorities can ask BrickLink
(which is incorporated in the US and is a marketplace) for stats or individual
data about their residents and why do these residents have made orders on BL
but BL hasn’t remitted any tax for these orders.

And then BL will have to take actions against the members, both buyer and seller,
especially the seller when they are the one who proposed the fraud.

  If you live in a state that requires you to pay tax on your online purchase,
and if you do something that prevents Bricklink from collecting that tax for
your state, and if the state doesn't get the tax by some other way, then
that seems to indicate that you are avoiding paying the tax.

That's not entirely true. For shipments up to ~350 € you can use the CN22
form. Beyond that you need the CN23 form.

Werner

To be precise, the threshold is XDR 300 (Special Drawing Rights), so €364.70
today.

And there’s also a limit at 2kg (which may be more easily reached?).


If you are going to improve me, be really precise. Today, 08/05/23, 300 XDR =
364.40 EUR.
And yes, the parcel must not weigh more than 2kg. But also the dimension plays
a role. If the parcel is larger than W + H + D ≤ 90 cm, no side longer than 60
cm, CN23 must always be used (in Germany).

Hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend. We just wanted to ask about everyones
experience with shipping to the US from the EU: How is it different from shipping
to EU? What are some things to look out for? How is it from the perspective of
the buyer? and so on.
Thank You very much for any replies!

Brickery.

As far as I know, you don't need anything except for the CN22 customs form.
We are not charged any import fees or customs until the order is for 1000s of
dollars.

I believe you will need to use an Onsite payment method as BrickLink collects
sales taxes for most US States. BL will take the taxes out automatically (on
Paypal it will show up as a 'Partner Fee' ) and you do not have to do
anything else.

Good luck!

Hallo,

1. Die Schriftart in deinen Verkaufsbedingungen ändern.
2. Wiederholungen in den Versandbedingungen streichen.
3. Schön ist es, das du deine Bankdaten gleich mitveröffentlichst. Jeder Betrüger
freut sich.
4. Den Wechsel von Deutsch und Englisch vermeiden. Entweder erst aslles in Deutsch
und dann in Englisch, oder umgekehrt.
5. In deinen Beschreibungen der gebrauchten Sets ist die Verwendung von "like

Bitte

Für eine nicht, falsch oder beschädigte Ware kann der Käufer nur einen NSS-Fall
eröffnen. Es geht hier also wahrscheinlich um die nicht richtig gelieferte Ware.
Das kannst du nur abwenden, wenn du ihm die richtige Minifig lieferst oder ihn
entschädigst. Beides solltest du gegenüber BL nachweisen können.

  Hallo zusammen,

heute haben wir unsere erste Negative Bewertung erhalten, leider.
Der Käufer hatte uns nicht einmal kontaktiert, sondern einfach gleich negativ
bewertet.

Wir haben den Käufer schon kontaktiert, können wir noch mehr machen?


Wir finden es sehr hart, für ein falsches Teil gleich Negativ zu bewerten, wir
hätten den Betrag ja erstatten könne oder das richtige Teil wieder dem Kunden
zukommen lassen.

Wie geht Ihr damit um?

LG


Hallo,

BL wird dir nicht helfen. Frage den Käufer, was du tun kannst, um ihn zu einer
positiven Bewertung zu bewegen. Eine neutrale Bewertung ist in deiner Shopbewertung
genauso, als wäre es eine negative Bewertung. Ist er nicht umzustimmen, kannst
du bei seiner Bewertung einen Kommentar abgeben. Der sollte sachlich und höflich
sein. Sonst kann er gelöscht werden. Anschließend würde ich ihn entsprechend
bewerten.

Viel Glück
Werner

That's not true! What did you specify as the reason for the transfer?

I think the order number


You think? You'd have to see it on your bank statements. You need that as
evidence with the police.

  Hi, I pay for an order via bank transfer IBAN and past 1 month I didnt receive
it and get no answer from seller, can I do anything, or like some people already
told me, IBAN payment, there is nothing you can do?? Thanks

Here on Bricklink you only can open a NRS (not responding seller) or a NSS (not
shipping seller).

Where? I can't find it.

Here you can find the barcode numbers in the right summary box. Unfortunately,
these data are not listed for all sets. The UPC code is only used in the US,
the EAN code is used internationally.

  Hi,
Would it be possible to include item's UPC on the catalog page (if applicable)?
Maybe also ISBN/ISSN for books? I know parts wouldn't have UPCs, but most
sets do. This might be a useful thing for some people, especially if the catalog
was searchable by UPC/ISBN/ISSN.

You can already put the ISBN for books as the item number, such as 9781338214970.

[B=9781338214970]


And usually the EAN is the same as the ISBN without spaces or dashes.

Start an NPB. Then the buyer can not give a feedback if he does not pay.

Richtig und für kleine Anbieter wie mich ist seitdem das gesamte internationale

nur noch 5%, wenn überhaupt. Wer bezahlt schon mindestens 10 € für Waren im gleichen
Wert. Und DHL Päckchen XS ist so ziemlich das günstigste, was noch möglich ist
ohne Geschäftskunden-Anmeldung.

Da bin ich ganz bei euch, als Privatversender macht es international keine grosse
Freude mehr.
Umso erfreuter war ich, als neulich jemand aus Neuseeland tatsächlich die absurden
100,99€ für ein Paket (Land/Seeweg !) bezahlt hat...


Ich wage zu bezweifeln, daß du dieses Paket als Warenpost international versenden
hättest können.

I have come across a collection of pins similar to the pin007, but in several
different colors.
The pin with black background is already catalogued, but I also have red, orange,
yellow, white, green, blue and no-color (all metal) - so a total of 8 different
colors.
I can't seem to find a place to add new colors to an existing part. So hope
this is the right place to raise this issue?

I think that I have recently seen a warning for fake pins like that...
If so, then they were not made by LEGO.

I have not found it yet... I'll try to remember to search again later.

  Hey everyone, so I sent an expensive order to someone with track & trace however
it seems like the postage company lost it somehow since he has not recieved it
for a very long time. The buyer is understandably upset however I have made it
clear in my terms that I am not responsible for any lost packages. Now the question,
is he allowed to give me negative feedback for something I could not do anything
about and if he does give it is there any way I can remove the feedback since
I don't have anything to do with it?

If you are a private seller, you are not responsible for shipping. Whether you
are a private or a professional seller is up to you, your tax office or a court,
no one else here.
Since the buyer paid via paypal, he will ask for his money back and get it since
you have no proof of delivery. If he opens a NSS case on Bricklink, you can avert
that with your proof of shipment.
However, the buyer can give you a negative feedback, which you can not remove
unless it contains prohibited statements or a possible NSS case is decided in
your favor.

You are not quoting Paypal, you are quoting a user of Paypal. Moreover, this

Please distinguish, there is a land mass called Europe, similar to Australia
and there is a federation of European states called the European Union (EU).
The laws you mention do not apply anywhere else in the EU.
Germany is in the EU, but Switzerland is not.

Again, this transaction occurred in Europe they have much stronger consumer protection

What comments are full of exclamation points? You seem a bit prone to exaggeration.

your statement of "Ridiculous, what community" downplays the involvement

I have not mocked or ridiculed the participants! Also, I have not participated
in this "vote" because I think it is superfluous.
However, one can not remain silent on this statement!
At the moment there are 1 352 197 members. Of these, 16 participants have voted,
with 4 voting for something that was not actually on the ballot. Ergo, that leaves
12 participants. That is ~0.001% of the total membership. How can you speak of
a will of the community there?
Never believe a statistic or list that you have not falsified yourself.

while a few didn't vote at all & turned it into a discussion topic, many

here is the original Poll as a refresher & the Results.


"Poll:

Which option would you prefer as a Spamming Solution


A? nothing, Raw Spam is Delicious!
B) require a Pay-To-Play Positive Feedback, similar to the Seller Requirement
C) require new users to be Verified by some Official Secondary means w/ Bricklink.
D) ban Zero Feedback Members from posting URL Links in the Forum.
E) allow Zero Feedback Members Limited Forum Access that is a Moderator Only
visiblie / Replies Enabled post"

Results

A) 10% of members chose this option
B) 33% of members chose this option
D) 57% of members chose this option.

not to disregard member ideas, there were several topic inspried options created
as well.

in general, something needs to be done according to the Communiity,
the Majority of members who voiced their opinions would prefer either:

D) an across the board Ban on new members being able to post URL's in forum
posts.
or
B) new members be required to have at least 1 positive feedback before having
Forum Access posting abilities.

thanks to everyone who participated & stuck to the boundries of the poll rule-set.

Now
I don't know whether a seller has to register as a corporation to be considered
a "business".

That’s the usual problem: some like to hide behind “I’m not incorporated” / “I’m
not registered.”
So other criteria are used: buying to resell, number of transactions, gross income….
But all that is local / can only be verified locally.
So, for importations, the rule is simplified to: if it’s not a gift (below such
amount) then it’s business.

(Otherwise, if I were country X, I would say: all the businesses that export
aren’t considered businesses by country X, so they aren’t businesses for any
other country either!)

That being said, I don’t know how the package tax works….

Since January, the Germans have a new law. The "Platform Tax Transparency
Act". It obliges online sales platforms to report all sellers who have either
made more than 30 sales or earned more than 2,000 euros a year. The report is
made in January of the following year. So for the first time in 2024.

These are exclusive sets for Blue Oceans Publishing's LEGO Star Wars magazines.
The sets should have a number on them, e.g. 912055, where 20 is the year of issue

Ja, es dürfen nur noch Dokumente mit der Versandart Brief versendet werden. Das
Comicbuch und die Maske sind Waren. Ich gehe mal davon aus, daß du als Verkäufer,
ordnungsgemäß das Formular CN22 ausgefüllt und es außen aufgeklebt hast. Ja,
die Sendungen werden gescannt und Päckchen/Pakete geröntgt.

  Was looking to buy as many as I could from any source/site, within a given price
range, a certain LEGO item...

This particular vendor had sold many (being myself, late to the game) with only
two remaining available to buy within the listing. So I bought the two remaining
and paid the shipping, thinking the price made the shipping cost of the two well
worth it. I then noticed the vendor loaded a further two to the listing with
a one dollar increase each, so I bought them. Again evaluating the costs as within
my range. After which, the vendor loaded another two with a further one dollar
increase in price, and again I bought those.

This pattern repeats itself up to today’s purchase...

Now, all five transactions fall within my targeted acquisition price, so I’m
good. That said, while USPS has made out like a bandit as I hope did the vendor,
if the seller only would have contacted me after the first or second buy and
stated their total inventory and desired price for said inventory, I surely would
have bought all in a single transaction. At the very least, dividing the USPS
and packaging costs between us, buyer and vendor.

Okay, I could have and indeed would have, made the move myself had the item not
been underpriced to begin with. You deal hunters know what I'm talking about

Just some fun and candid thoughts being shared

-popsicle


I would have asked him after the first time how many he had and what he wanted
for them.

first time for us. Thanks.

On my bank extract I can see the bank details of the buyer. So I can pay him
back money.

  I received a message from someone saying they have approx. £80 worth of figures
in their basket but don't have PayPal and can they pay via IBAN. I've
not taken payment this way before but understand that it can be done. I have
my IBAN number and told them to go to their cart and request an invoice, thinking
I can send them the IBAN details that way. However they say there's no option
to request an invoice....is this an option I need to turn on? I've had a
quick look in the payment details and can't see how to turn anything like
IBAN payments on. Anyone know what I need to do???

Thanks in advance!

Where does the buyer come from? If he comes from the EU, it is not possible to
pay by IBAN. You need an online payment option so that BL can calculate and collect
the import tax.

  As I saw Bricklink process my invoice for a customer, I saw that Paypal's
tax collection system collects tax on the shipping cost. Is that correct? is
that how it should be? It seems to me that shipping cost should not be taxable.


It's not Paypal, it's Bricklink.

  Does anyone know how many copies does one brown box contain for the following

Since I'd like to get the original Lego brown box for suppliers, so I wish
to know how many copies does the following sets contain.

Lego 60286 (Recycling Truck)
Lego 60335 (Train Station)

Welcome guess according to size of the box or your experience, if you don't
know exactly the number for these two particular sets.

60286 hatte 4 Stück und 60335 hat 2

Yes im sure. The Box size of this set is 53.9 x 28.2 x 11.5 cm
In this size nearly 99% of the sets come in this amount.
  Are you sure that 60335 contain 2? I am surprised. It isn't a big set.

By the way, do you have any idea about 60336 (the freight train) 1 or 2 in a
box?

Im Händlerkarton für das Set 60336 sind ebenfalls 2 Sets.


Hi Dino. I am Dinosaur. XD


Du wirst es nicht glauben, aber ich habe es mir fast gedacht.


Oh I see. Last but not least, do you know if most Creator Expert modular buildings
and other giant sets e.g. Icon 10316 (THE LORD OF THE RINGS: RIVENDELL™) come
with only 1 set in a box (Original brown box)

Ja, von diesem Set ist immer nur 1 in den braunen Umkartons.


Sorry. Do you know how many sets in one (original) box for 60388 (Gaming Tournament
Truck). I do not want to order more than needed. However, I like to get the brown
box.

I have recieved and order request from my neighbour country to whom I do not
send at the moment (I did do so in the past) and have given him the bypass code
to order from a country u usually do not ship to.
However the option to enter this code does not pop up in his screen

Is this due to the VAT registration or any other thoughts?


He can add items. When I goes to pay, he can enter the code.

Have you tried looking through Brickshelf? I found another watch (4376) from
2000 that hasn't been added here. https://brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=582581

Looks like it could have some potential candidates for 168 Gun Metallic.

Nice find!! It looks like an early version of this set:

[g=4372]

I haven't found either X-10 or Y-10 yet, but their bezels are aluminum, not
plastic — and not listed as 168

I would say, Set 4370 never exist. It's Set 4376. I never found X-10 with
another Setnumber.

Do you have the watch? Could you put in the change request?

Yes, I own this watch. But I don't make any new entries or changes here anymore.
You can do it yourself. On Brickshelf you can find the corresponding data.
  
I wonder where Lugnet got their set numbers...

I don't know who made the entry on Lugnet, but comments are ignored there
too. From the errors you can see how all, Bricklink, Lugnet, Peeron and Brickset
copy or have copied from each other without doing their own research.

There are 446 watches listed here on Bricklink. I have found 770 different watches
so far. Where as a collector I consider each order number or box variant as a
separate watch. If I eliminate that, there are still more than 520. How many
watches have you catalogued so far?

The EAN code of these 3 watches is the EAN code of 4370 "Grinder".

We are swamped with work for all of the new sets right now. We will get to those
minifigures when we get a chance. Thanks for your patience.

Sadly the excessive wait, makes me not want to contribute to the catalog ever
again. I know there is a lot of new sets being added but 6+ months for some figures
to be approved seems outrageous.


As recently as two months ago, we had a backlog of items going all the way back
to February of last year. We are now caught up to November of last year, and
we are trying very hard to get to the rest. If you had submitted the items six
plus months ago, they would be in the catalog by now, so the truth is that you
submitted them earlier than six plus months ago. When I look at the pending items,
you submitted them on November 30, 2022, so they should be one of the next things
that we get to in our process of catching up. By the way, November 30 is about
three and a half months ago.

Cheers,
Randy


A useful starting point for speeding things up and saving a lot of time would
be to import directly the images of new parts from LEGO database. Why reinvent
the wheel and take fresh pictures of everything?


It's pretty easy to tell who hasn't done an inventory or contributed
before.

Indeed. Now, I just need to find that magic: Add-Qualified-Admin-Now! button.

Yes, you are right. The 6750 set was launched in October 1986.

The Set 880 was classified by TLC as a service pack. That is why it is mentioned
in the collectors guide in the "Service Packs" on page 890 with set number
and year of release.

In Catalog, anathema writes:
  Ah, that's interesting I know there are at least two other errors in
the guide (*), so I'm taking the '2000' date with a pinch of salt.



(*) Set 880 is missing entirely, and it gives a release date of 1987 for set
6750; in fact, this one turned up in 1986.

The catalog states this to have been released in 1997. Most - but not all -
other reference sites have this date; some claim 1998.

The copyright date on the box and the instructions is 1998.

Does anyone know which (if any!) of these dates is correct?


I would say 1997 is wrong. If it says 1998 on both, the box and the instructions,
then it is 1998. Unfortunately, I can't verify it because I don't have
either at hand.
The year 2000 mentioned in the collecors guide is a result of the information
from TLC itself.
Both, 1998 and 2000, can be correct. From 1998, this set was available exclusively
from Shell and/or Ferrari as a promotional or sales set, and from 2000, LEGO
sold the remaining stock. However, this set does not appear anywhere in the dealer
catalogs from that time.
Perhaps someone knows more about it. I did buy my sets on Ebay until 2003.

The difference between the European Town plan with right-hand traffic and the

over regions is confidential, and they cannot say where it was offered. I did
not find it also anywhere in online stores. Usually, there are old pages with
sold out stock status, but not for this one.

So, has anyone seen it?


This set was only for the Korean market and was sold there by S@H from about
May 2020 to May 2021.

  I live in country "A", and most of the time I order Lego items to an
address found in here. But occasionally, I want to send some Lego to an address
found in country "B", to a relative of mine. When I order, it's possible
to change delivery address in the form, but there I cannot change country. Instead,
I have to mess in the profile menu to change the default address to my relative's
address. (And after the delivery, back to my address). Or another way to do is
to inform the seller to send the Lego items to another address which differs
from what is in the order form. If the seller accidentally omits that information,
(s)he ships that package to me, which I don't want in that case as mentioned
before. And this situation is a nuisanse for both the buyer and seller, and may
lead to unnecessary bad ratings. Please, change this feature.

I voted "yes" because this would actually be easy to do (also tax-wise).
However, there is still the hurdle "Paypal". Each seller is required
to send to the address that is registered with Paypal.

  I am sorry but I really don't understand how this can still happen... this
store has AT LEAST 3 or 5 negative feedback per month, without counting neutral
feedback !
They are opened for 2 years, they have around 30% of neutral and negative feedback
and they are still here ?
Why ?!

Because no 3 buyers opened or completed an NSS?

  A family friend is coming to the US for a trade show/convention, and staying

an delivered to me when she arrives here in the US?
I am just looking for parts, not sets.
Is this acceptable? Can I ask sellers to do that?
She is not an AFOL.
Thank you.

It's not that simple anymore. BL will charge Florida sales tax, which may
then have to be paid again upon entry. In addition, the seller may have to charge
VAT since the goods are not going to the USA but, according to the shipping address,
remain within the EU.

  Hiya Everyone

Please help my store according to my set up is available to sell items to USA
buyers.

However when they try add items to the cart and checkout it does not allow USA
buyers to purchase from me.

I have sold to USA buyers in the past and I'm getting buyers from Canada
and the rest of the world okay.

Thanks for the help in advance


You don't offer an onsite payment.

The case is the pencase01, listed as form the year 2000. Form pen to pen, the
beads are the same for each pen, but not all applied in the same order.
Any info would be appreciated.

Here are 2 of the sets https://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemIn.asp?G=pencase01&in=G

  I made an order and paid by bank transfer. Then I put the statut « paid ». The
seller cancelled the transaction and said he didn’t had the sets.
I asked him for a refund. He agreed but I’m still waiting for it.
What can I do if he doesn’t give me my money back ??

Give the seller a reasonable period of time until the money must be refunded.
If nothing happens, go to the police and file a complaint for fraud.

Once the money is credited to the seller's account, the buyer's bank
cannot do anything.

Can anyone help me out? I have tried changing the settings but still don't

Also, how does buyer using a password work? I set one up but the buyer doesn't
know where to put it?
Thanks


When the buyer wants to go to the payment, he can enter the password there.

Check the sales history, if any. Starting with the one on the right

The right one is an other mug.

  Dear all,

We found four Lego 1:87-Models, three of those could be Generation one. (None
glassed / solid windows).

1. Red/white Volkswagen Bulli
2. Blue/yellow Bedford truck with “Lego”-logo
3. Grey dump Truck
4. Red Truck with crane in the back (glasses windows)

Right now we have several requests open and n order to get value estimates.
Is there anybody who could assist in this forum in parallel?

More pictures to come cats.

Beste regards,

It is not the limits of BL that are authoritative, but the legal provisions.
If changes are apparently necessary, why not go in the right direction?
By the way, my proposal is just as within the limits of BL as any other change.

  You've been on BL here about as long as I have, and you know none of what
you proposed will ever happen.

Any solutions within the limitations of the current system?

  The potential buyer "asks" for the total cost. The items are reserved for the
buyer. The seller makes an offer. The buyer now has 3 days to reject or accept
the offer. With the payment, the offer is accepted and everything goes its usual
course. However, if he rejects the offer, the items are immediately available
for sale again. In this case, however, there is also no feedback from both sides.

  The risk should be shouldered by the party asking for the favor (the buyer in
this case). Do you have another solution to offer?

I'm sorry the seller wouldn't let you cancel. I think it is a kindness
for new buyers to agree to this in these kind of circumstances. In the seller's
defense, if they agree to cancel, they have to rely entirely on your goodwill
not to leave negative feedback.

There is one workaround, but I don't know how practical it is. Buyer leaves
feedback for the seller. After 30 days the buyer's feedback is locked in
and cannot be changed. Seller can then cancel the order without worrying about
a neg.

And then, the buyer get a negativ feedback?
