And just to be clear, I am serious in buying out the shop at 95% discount. So
OP should better "get ready!" for my order on March 21 at 2:01AM (and
there will also not be any ambiguity about what constitutes 2:15AM as both OP
and BL are in the same time zone).

ABSOLUTELY NO CONDITIONS APPLY!!!!!

BTW, I didn’t caught it before but March 21 is a Thursday.  And DST starts/stops
on Sundays.  So, I just checked and it’s this Sunday, March 10, that most Canadians
enter DST.

I think you’re in trouble

  Greetings Master Builders,

I was so disappointed to log in after a few years away that bricklink had deleted
my store inventory without notice. Is there a public statement about when they
delete databases? It is really a horror story, because I don't have a backup...bricklink
WAS my store database. Has this happened to anyone else? I emailed their admins
but no response to date.

Myss Terree at Eureka!


I am pretty sure that if you do not log into your account for a year, then your
store inventory gets removed.

Correct:

  I’m sorry you have been unable to experience how fun they are under control.
My cousin and I fill up old cans with oil then we light them on fire and shoot
at them it’s a lot of fun.

So you then shoot holes in the oil cans, oil would flow out, and then afterwards
you would clean up all the contaminated soil? Sounds like a lot of work
for a little fun.

  APO and FPO packages must be sent via USPS (meaning only from locations within
the US States).

No, that isn't the case. APO/FPO addresses can receive international shipments,
but they *do* have go through USPS. But that is typical for international mail
- the national postal service makes delivery after the package goes through customs.

USPS does not operate in Italy, does it?

It does not, but that is not the point. We have shipped to APO/FPO as well. There
is no USPS here, but when shipment reaches US, it is handed over to USPS. So
OP needed to use a shipping service that does the same.

  Nubs_Select talked about this.

It's a bug I see since the Refund page exists.

When you've input any amount in the "Refund amount Buyer will receive"
field, then using your mouse to scroll either up or down will increase or
decrease the value by increment of 1 (ex: 12.37 = 13.37, 14.37, etc)

Which can also lead to negative numbers.

But a few times I was to validate a refund which in the end was 1 or 3€ more
than what I typed because of this. Of course it's more difficult to notice
if you've a non trivial number like 12.37 which can become 13.37 without
you to notice.

In short, after clicking "Review refund" CAREFULLY double check the amount,
it may have changed since you typed it

Note it's the same in a Shop page, you may type 4, scoll down, and buy 2...

... But... When I tried to replicate this after Nubs mentioned it above, I
scrolled up, down, left, right, expanded, contracted... nothing changed.

Depends the position of your cursor, the rotation speed or start time, many things...

Here I can make it happen 100% of the times.

Confirmed to happen here on Firefox and Nubs on Opera IIRC - at least, didn't
try other browsers.

The behavior of the mouse scroll wheel updating the contents of a "number"
input field is the default behavior on most browsers. This can be disabled with
a small tidbit of JavaScript (you can disable events generated by the scroll
wheel with a "blur()" override).

For devs: please let me know if you need more specific info.

  The fix is to specify the "description" field.

{"quantity":4, "description":""}

Works fine and fixes it as far as I can tell.

I can't help but think someone at BL was a bit overzealous. With the merging
changes, the advice from BL was to put some text in the "description"
field to specify mold differences. Maybe this was construed as "now everything
needs a description", so the API was changed to now require a "description"
field...

  Admin Russell, you did not understand what BrickFreedom was posting.
The API that updates inventory by a quantity (+ or -), is intermittently breaking
on part numbers that are not within your 4 changed parts.

This will break every piece of software that relies on updating Bricklink store
inventory using the API method.

I concur. The last failed update on our end was for
