You gotta be kidding me!

This is the first time this has happened to me in a lot of orders on here.

I ordered what was supposed to be new Lego pieces.

I received used Lepin or other off-brand pieces. One stud on each piece is indented
where the Lego logo would go.

These people should not be allowed to operate on here. Go sell that junk on
fleabay.

16 pieces in the order all Lepin or some knock off.

The problem with order page is confusing. When I click that my only option is
"Cancel this order" with a selected radio button that I can't unselect
and a Take Action button making it seem if I file a complaint I'm trying
to cancel the order. Do I have to wait for a few days to pass before I can really
do anything?

And he's no longer registered. headhunter_odst (193) Is the seller.

Request for Quote broken

Topic:

Technical Issues

For whatever reason, people can not request quotes because it's telling buyers
that I don't have a shipping method available.

I have "Accept quote requests" turned on in Management.

I tried setting up my own method (and enabling it) where it's set to "manual"
(doesn't show up)

I tried importing the shared method (and enabling it) that is specifically called
"Request for quote" and it only gives a "place order" option,
the request for a quote button that should be below that is not visible for the
buyers.

I followed the instructions on this page: https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=2437
and nothing seems to be working.

What am I missing?

And yes it's written in the Invoice template 180 days, it's an error,
but you could edit it in your template, or don't care of course.

Merci beaucoup mon ami !

yah, that paragraph is good at telling how to use it but not too much about the

As far as I can tell, you have probably been lucky enough to not get an order,
which would trigger a sync on the other platforms inventory, while you are editing
your inventory. You could potentially cause an issue where your edit gets overwritten
with inconsistent data. Or, you submit an edit with inconsistent/incorrect data
over a synced item's data.

I would start trying to use the blmaster command consistently so you don't
have to learn the hard way.

interesting. yah ill keep trying to use it but I'm worried ill forget eventually

HI there, I was browsing the catalog listings for the Darth Vader helmet type
2 on the BL, and I noticed that there appears to be a problem with the both listing
of the helmet and collar. 19916 and 19917 both appear to have a trans green-clear
option!? is this a listing for a test shot or something? any help would be appreciated.

I recently started using Bricksync and it works well however the "blmaster
on/off" option confuses me a little. it says you're supposed to never
change your inventory and stuff unless that mode is on and when you are done
you then turn it off however nothing seems to "break" if I change/add
things without turning it on and then later turn it on and off to cycle it to
process any changes I made. So my question is, am I missing something important?
I dont make it a habit to add stuff unless it's on but want to know if I'm
misunderstanding and it doesn't make a big difference if you add stuff without
turning it on or what.

Why does it said not to play lighting up matches, even if in 99.999% of cases
it may not pose any problem?

In a general meaning syncing is a really difficult problem.

You don't often give the right to your computer to freely copy, edit or delete
your data or files.

Syncing is what it does.

Problems are: what is the correct reference? What if there's a change in
both? If this item isn't on A, was it because it was deleted voluntarily
on A, or because it's just missing? And plently like those, including
what happens if something supposed to be in this reference computer (when I built
the list), doesn't exist anymore when I start the sync process...

In short, dont light up matches - or learn a LOT before

good points but when using my previous syncing program it worked fine before
where you could add or change or delete anything at any given time and then whenever
you want then proceed to update everything accordingly. but as you mentioned
i should research ltos which is what I'm trying to do as i cant figure out
why it says that only that it does

. it could say that for a simple reason
so that you dont forget to update your inventory or it could be for the reason
that it could break your entire inventory but that's the tricky part since
i cant figure out what exactly is the reason not to do it so hopefully someone
here knows
