Once you compare them side by side, like the one shown in the link posted by
1001bricks, you can see that old trans brown is very accurate.

Prices have gone up but the selection of parts have gone down (at least in our
area where 3 Lego stores are relatively close).
The good news is that the cardboard boxes they now use hold just as much as the
cups. We purchased one and filled it with 1x1 round plates then poured them into
a PAB cup and found that hold about the same amount maybe with the box holding
just a smidge more. The advantage with the box being rectangular instead of round
means that they are better for stacking square parts like plates or door frames.
And they are definitely more gooder then worser for the environmenta.

Thanks for chiming in but you actually didn't read the full context of my
own post either as it was directed towards yorbrick not the OP. I already stated
that I didn't fully approve of stacked bricks and so I don't take issue
with whatever complaints the op has over how they received their parts. It's
more directed at Yorbricks overly pedantic "stacking for 5 seconds" comment
along with his many other past comments where he obsessively appears to enjoy
correcting people and re-iterating the rules back to them regardless of how necessary/minor
the subject matter!

Ah, I see. Makes more sense.

1) Buyer leaves positive feedback, but doesn’t change the order status from “Shipped”
2) Buyer leaves positive feedback and changes the status to “Received” thinking
that’s it. Fairly common, actually.
3) Buyer contacts seller thanking them for the LEGO and offers praise of service
and/or product, without changing the status from “Shipped” or “Received”.
4) Buyer and seller are in communication over an order issue, which concludes
with the buyer expressing complete satisfaction with the transaction, again without
bothering to change the status.
In short, there's a good many LEGO fans that simply don’t know, don’t
care or don’t care to know about 'order status duties’ Many just wish to
buy LEGO and that’s it. Which is fine. The changing of order status by the seller
just helps a vendor to clean things up a bit, to stay organized.
|
Good points. I think that after 30 days if a buyer has not changed the order
status to "Complete" then they probably will fall under the category
'dont care' and will not care if the seller changes the status to complete.

| E) allow Zero Feedback Members Limited Forum Access that is visible to

Then the moderators could release posts to the public once they see they are
not spam. It would be great if they could then have control to, in a sense, "Unlock"
their activity after a period of time where it becomes obvious to them that the
poster is not a spammer and then their posts would no longer need to be subject
to their approval.

How will you define the variants you want if they are no longer defined here?
|
Exactly! Shoppers will be getting what they ordered and paid for, they just wont
be able to easily shop for different variants of a particular piece unless they
shop at stores that specify that they actually sorting out different variants
and selling them separately, thus, shoppers will still get what they pay for.
I say this only because shoppers stating that they want what they pay for is
just not an accurate analogy for this topic.

| | Hi everyone! I placed an order tο a seller for some pieces (145€ worth) and he

many time offering to pay again for the postage to send it back ( I know he received,
I had a new tracking number from DHL) but no answer. Should I open a case with
PayPal? I’ve tried with 5 emails and even in his language but no reply!
|
Just to be clear, did you send any messages thru BrickLink? The reason I ask
is because some sellers dont respond to emails but will respond to BrickLink
messages.
Jim
|
A very justified question my friend, of course I did, it was my first method
of contact with the seller and I have the emails from BrickLink to prove it.
And then I sent emails and then message and email translated in his language
in case he only accepts these. I’m starting to feel bad because maybe he has
some serious problems in real life and I’m concerned about my hobby, but I need
to protect myself somehow nevertheless, right?
|
I agree with everyone else to start a NSS followed by a PayPal claim. I was just
making sure you contacted him thru BrickLink and not just thru email before starting
the NSS.
