Buying Privileges - OK
Hello,

I bought 2 sets from a store and one of them was incomplete (it was supossed
to be complete). I've written the seller with a list of the missing pieces,
my email was read but I have no answer, it's been more than two weeks since
I send the email.

What should I do?

Seems that we have these questions or statements most weeks, sometimes more than

Op : Other markings underneath will usually be part number / mould number and
position in mould / copyright / pat pending / pending Pat / both the previous
two obscured etc.

However, better to ask if unsure.

  Hello,
I have bought some lego parts, but i believe they might be fake.
The bricks do have 'lego' written on the top of the studs, but on the

if these are real lego (maybe older parts only had the logo)?

Real. If it has the lego lego it’s real. Some parts don’t have the part number
and some don’t have the logo and some have neither but if it has the logo it’s
real

And most are ZERO feedback buyers that I guess are new to Bricklink, sky is aways
falling in this forum even with all the millions of successful transactions.
Like they say, negative views get the attention...

Which directly goes against bricklink terms since they say they don’t even separate

Along with

Which also isn’t true as they are 100% responsible

2550 feedback on 5825 orders is a very low feedback percentage, 44%.

My store has 1763 orders with 1350 feedback, that is 77% of buyers who left me
positive feedback. I have 0% negatives and 0% neutrals.

This store has serious problems that they need to address.

This means that you have had 104 orders where something was wrong and you got
neutral or negative feedback.

So I'm not surprised, but of course I don't know the details. As a buyer
I would hesitate to buy from a shop that has less than 99% positive feedback.

then charged me 90 euros for the shipping

What was it you ordered, parts, sets, or a combination ?

If it was sets only, and in original boxes, the shipping might well have been
high. Cost of order does not have a direct relationship to cost of shipping,
especially when it involves international shipping.

https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=65

Did you follow this and request the cancellation, or did you just message the
seller asking them to cancel it?

If you have the NPB completed against you, then you can try asking for it to
be removed as you thought the postage was too much. The NPB won't matter
unless you make a habit of placing orders and not paying for them. However, you
might get negative feedback for not paying for this order and would not be able
to leave feedback for the seller.

In the future, ask about shipping costs before placing the order if they are
not calculated by instant checkout or detailed in the seller terms. Shipping
large or heavy boxes internationally with tracking can be expensive.

  Hi all,
I have just set up a new store with the purpose of selling my large collection

Does anyone have any advice on how to do this? I would prefer to sell groups

Thanks in advance

Hello! You mean multiple different types of sets?
Or multiple sets of the same one?

I have never seen a function on this site that enables a bulk buy. Perhaps one
of the more experienced Bricklinkers can verify. This site is geared towards
individual entries, but for the most part a lot of customers tend to maximize
shipping costs by ordering multiple items from one store.

If you are looking for someone to buy part or whole of your collection, I highly
recommend local marketplace on socual media or Ebay.

Happy selling!

Maybe list the sets individually and add a text to the description 'X% discount
when ordering 2 sets or more, y% discount when ordering 5 sets or more'

Sounds pretty shady to me.
So the seller can't work with the buyers requests.. but can immediately file
an NPB?

then i want to know how i shouldve reacted

i want to know how i should react from here

After 7 days you could have opened a NRS.
Although you've got the right to to cancel, the seller opened the NPB because
he wants to be protected against any feedback.
You can go to the NPB page and click option NPx "accept penalty and cancel
order".
One strike won't hurt your buyers status.
Or contact the Helpdesk if you don't want to accept the penalty:

Ooooooh... That's really interesting, that's got almost certainly the
problem because I had a joke in quotes and had parentheses. Will try again,

And leave you room, like better count on 240 than 255.

Make tests, and avoid the more non-alphanumeric ones.

or is that information completely gone?

I wish they were still there. That amount of data would not take that much space
and space is pretty cheap. I wish they would at least keep 2-3 years worth of
the order details. I would also like options to see the pricing history of items
longer than 6 months, especially for rare items.

Is anyone else having this problem tonight? I'm trying to add sets and
it says I'm below the 255 character limit but when I go to the next screen
I'm told I'm exceeding it.

If you have emails, that's about the only way you'd get details.

Not "completely gone"

No, the detail is completely gone. Who you bought from, and the break out of
costs are available, but not what you bought.

When you download orders on Bricklink it calls the items in the order "details",
but it really isn't clear from the initial post if that is what they meant.

What part of "not completely gone" eludes you?

They asked if the detail is completely gone. The parts are the detail.

Details of a transaction are not solely the parts. You surely know this, right?

Buyers most of the time do not care about the shipping costs, fees or sales tax
after the fact. You want to be right, fine you are right.
Happy now?

"Happy now?" Don't know. Though if that's all that it takes to
be happy, I accept ir

Keep the e-mails. ALL e-mails, forever.

Or ask if to each seller if he/she has a copy or such.

If OP did not keep the order detail emails, another option would be to reach
out to the sellers. I keep every order detail email and have forwarded these
emails to buyers when asked.

I don't think it is visible unless someone places an order. I do see a number
of stores that list their email or paypal address in their store terms though.
I think this is what the email was referring to.

They don't sound real. Are you being asked to provide login information?
If so then you know they're fake.

Does any one else get these mails?

Sincerely, Brickworkers

I strongly recommend you contact BrickLink directly through this website, via
the Help Center link on every page. They have sent out emails warning of scammers.

Do not click on links in email, ever, or click on any unfamiliar link, irrespective
of where it is found. If you don't know that some link in a forum is genuine,
it is very likely that it will be a hacking attempt. That is how the scammer
harvests your details.

If you don't have antivirus measures, get some as they will identify scam
emails, in addition to viruses, worms, and trojans, which are unauthorized hacking
attempts attempting to gain access to your PC. Do not trust any emails attempting
to get you to use "their" product, it will certainly be a scam, containing
an infection that will download itself if you mistakenly allow it to do so. Search
with a trusted search site and get a properly validated and genuine antivirus
that has a proven track record of handling infection attempts and scam emails.

If you don't know why an email address is attempting to deceive you or whether
it's legitimate or not, it does not matter. DO NOT reply to them. Find your
own answers, and file suspicious emails in the trash folder of your email client.
Regularly emptying them out is strongly advised.

I sincerely hope you beef up your security measures. It is highly advisable.

There are many ongoing attempts to hack sites all over the world. Stay vigilant
and do not trust anything that an unknown email address sends you! Stay safe,
and never click on any links that you don't trust.

A proper antivirus and scam protection client will alert you to potential threats,
they are constantly evolving their detection algorithms, so ensure that whatever
you choose will automatically update it's threat definition databases.

Cheers ...
