Hi,

Can you help? What is the procedure when a buyer says the items have not arrived

Do I refund or do I wait for result from postal service and then refund?

I cannot find a procedure in seller help. My buyer says I have a contract with
him and I have a contract with the postal service. He feels I should refund him

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Hallo Werner,
Danke für deine Antwort, aber leider ist es so geschehen.
Order am 30.08.

Am 29.11. Mail von Bricklink: Dear Rantanplan80,

Status of order xxx was changed from NSS to Pending by BrickLink Administration
on Nov 29, 2023 15:42.

Reason: (None)

Gruß, Gaby

Hallo Gaby,

ich würde einmal nachfragen, warum der Status geändert wurde. Ich bezweifle aber,
das du eine Antwort erhältst. Der NSS-Status hätte dich halt vor einer negativen
Bewertung geschützt. Jetzt bleibt Dir nur noch, sich mit dem Verkäufer direkt
auseinander zu setzen. Nach Abschluß, ob nun negativ oder positiv, würde ich
ebenfalls eine entsprechende Bewertung abgeben.
Beachte aber, das der Bewerter 30 Tage Zeit hat seine Bewertung zu ändern! Erst
danach ist sie nicht mehr zu ändern.

Hallo Leute.

Im August habe ich bei einem deutschen Händler eine Bestellung aufgegeben und
via PayPal onsite bezahlt.
Der Händler klickte am darauffolgenden Sonntag auf shipped.
Eine Woche später bat ich um die Sendungsnummer und bekam die Antwort, dass es
keine Sendungsnummer gäbe. Der Händler schrieb, er würde bei der Post nachfragen.
Auf erneute Kontaktaufnahme antwortete er mir, dass ihm die Post gesagt habe
es würde noch dauern, bis es Infos gäbe.
Nach einer weiteren Woche eröffnete ich einen PayPal Fall und bei Bricklink NSS.
Daraufhin gab der Händler bei PayPal eine Sendungsnummer an, die lt Datum nicht
zu meiner Bestellung passte und aus der keine Zustellung hervorging.
PayPal erstattete mir daraufhin Geld.
Kurze Zeit später schrieb mir der Händler Beleidigungen per eMail auf die ich
nicht reagiert habe.
NSS war nun auch bei Bricklink längst abgeschlossen und die Sache für mich erledigt.

Nach dem Hacker Vorfall bei Bricklink wurde nun der NSS entfernt, der Händler
hat die Bestellung als packed markiert und mich negativ bewertet.
Wie verhalte ich mich nun?

Gruß und danke vorab für Euren Rat.

Hallo,

Bricklink wird dir hierbei nicht helfen. Ich glaube auch nicht, das der NSS entfernt
wurde. Wahrscheinlicher dürfte sein, daß der Verkäufer einen "Versandnachweis"
vorgelegt hat. Du kannst dich nur mit dem Verkäufer in Verbindung setzen und
ihn bitten die Bewertung zurückzunehmen. Mit deiner eigenen Bewertung würde ich
warten bis alles erledigt ist.

Viel Glück

This is a normal procedure for buyers. They want cheap shipping, but pay with

I never ship without proof when paying via PayPal. The only exception is buyers

Only Bricklink itself can do this. They don't trust the community. Only the

Hallo Max,

hast du den Betrag über das Bricklinksystem erstattet oder einfach direkt per
Paypal zurückgezahlt? Im ersten Fall wird Dir die Gebühr erstattet und eventuell
angefallene Steuern, die Bricklink gefordert hat, zahlt Bricklink zurück und
der Bearbeitungsstatus müßte wieder auf "Pending" zurückgehen bzw. von
Dir verändert wertden können. Im zweiten Fall wirst du vorerst auf diesen Kosten
sitzen bleiben und du kannst den Bearbeitungsstatus nicht verändern. In beiden
Fällen mußt du dann einen "OCR" durchführen um die Order zu stornieren.
Dazu mußt du BL nachweisen, daß du das Geld zurückerstattet hast.

Bricklink will not help you in this case. Write to the buyer and ask them to
withdraw the feedback. This is the only option. Since it has been more than 30
days since you left your review, you can no longer change it. By chance?
Never leave a feedback until the order has been reported as complete by the buyer.

It's not complicated. You're comparing apples with oranges. One is the
law, the other is Paypal's General Terms and Conditions. As a Paypal user,
I have agreed to them. But I could sue for the money from the buyer. But first
of all, this causes trouble and costs on the seller's side. All the more
so if the buyer lives outside the EU. That's why I never send items without
proof if payment is made via PayPal. Exception, the buyer has already bought
from me several times, or I have the item several times and can deliver a replacement.

German rules are different for private and business sellers:
For private sellers: If the customer decides to save on shipping cost and the
parcel gets lost, the seller is not reposible, there will be no refund.
For business sellers: The seller is always reponsible that the package arrives
and will have to refund in case it does not. Therefore business sellers in Germany
determine the way of shipping.

I currently have an order for a minifigure in my shop, it's price is 8€.
Buyer is located in the UK so besides shipping also tax applies. Shippping cost
with insurance and tracking are 7.20€, overall cost including tax would be more
than double the price of the minifigure.

If you, as a professional seller, only offer insured shipping, but the buyer
wants uninsured shipping or even a different shipping company, you are no longer
responsible if the item does not arrive.

The instructions contain 54 parts, the box says 86 parts. The box only contained
23 cardboard pieces, and because they're provided in sets of 4 per punch-out
board, there should most likely by 24, which is confirmed by a low-res image
available on eBay. So I will be creating a part that is "one set of cardboard

24 pieces.

Unfortunately, the watch was missing, so I have no idea how many parts it contains.
It's not mentioned in the instructions.

Hi Jan,

Can you find a year of release, for this set says 2012 and the cards 2013 at

The box from 2012 says 84 parts. There are 24 cards and the clock consists of
22 parts, if you see the figure with the 3 links as one unit.

Hallo Steffen,

Als Geschäftskunde kannst du mit DHL einen Vertrag abschließen in dem du dich

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,

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 may not be able to get your money back - BL can't do anything here. Have
you tried contacting your bank?

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

Thank you. So it's normal that the tracking number is not listed anywhere
here on bricklinks?

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.

Hi everyone,
new member here. I'd like to know if making offers to sellers is acceptable
on bricklink.com?
Obviously there is no built in feature for it like on ebay.

Thanks!

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.

Yes

Made this one, happy

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).

Hi everyone!

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
new" oder "as new" nicht erlaubt.

Bitte
Werner
