If it's a new or relatively recent set, you can try reaching out to LEGO
to see if they'll send you the pieces, but you'll still need to figure
out how to deal with the store.

Only if the sets were New & Sealed.
Otherwise, especially if the sets were Used, it’s the sole responsibility of
the seller.

I only am able to become a seller if I had bought once. (what if I buy just a
little to start  )
Other solution : look at my minifigs physicaly one by one to search a part, hair,
face, legs or body ; it is a bit longer but I only own 160 complete minifgs,
it is doable.

I’m not sure the search in your seller Inventory goes into the minifigs or sets’
inventories anyway.
You’d need to part them out first. (So, have them twice: once as a whole item,
and once as parts.)
Better use a third-party tool like BrickStore (application) or Rebrickable (website).
You may have to do it that way too (= have them twice) but at least it’s automatized
and, sadly, simpler than BL.
BrickStore can direclty import from/export to yor BL Wanted Lists. (Or you can
download and upload yourself if you don’t want to give it your password.)
Rebrickable should be able to do it too.
You too

Hi, if you use the search box at the top of the page, the drop down box on the
left that usually has All items shown as a default, if you click the down arrow
and second from the bottom it says store inventory, you can search your own inventory
using a part number.
Hope that helps

Unfortunately, that searches your Store inventory, when you’re a seller, not
the new, unfinished feature called “My Collection”

Well, if the account had suspicious activity, then BL saw them, blocked them,

BL doesn’t collect taxes for Canada (buyer will pay at reception). So there’s

Hi,
Maybe they asked the buyer to pay VAT again¹ and the buyer refused?
¹ “Again”: if the order was below €150, BL would have collected the VAT already.
Did you send the IOSS number electronically?

Great, thanks for the info ! By the time I move, get a place to live, get my
stuff from Canada (by boat of course so it will take months), it will take at
least a year or two before I will be able to reopen my store.
Thanks for the info about the threshold amount as well. I'll try looking
on Internet to confirm it but so far I haven't found anything.
|
That threshold is for intra-EU sales excluding domestic. So all of EU but Spain.
Otherwise, each EU country has its own thresholds and procedures and statuses.
The domestic VAT threshold can go from €0 to €90,800. AFAICT, Spain’s threshold
is €0. So every professional should get a VAT number in Spain.
Searching “EU VAT thresholds” leads to that page: https://www.vatcalc.com/eu/2023-eu-vat-registration-intrastat-thresholds/
Searching “VAT registration Spain” leads to that page: https://administracion.gob.es/pag_Home/en/Tu-espacio-europeo/derechos-obligaciones/empresas/impuestos/IVA/registro-pago.html
(Note that many EU countries have governmental pages in multiple languages… except
France 🤷♂️)
But as you’ll have been in Spain for many months before opening, you’ll have
time to ask a real local expert

Unless you’ve a batmobile, a helicopter should be more than twice as fast as

| | I created several wanted lists for different parts of a project.
I would like to merge them to make ordering easier.
|
Hi,
First, you don’t need to merge the WLs to order them together.
Just go to the Buy page (https://www.bricklink.com/v2/wanted/buy.page ) and tick
the boxes in the Wanted Lists tab in the panel on the left.
You can also select/unselect items by using the Wanted Items tab.
| | I tried downloading the individual lists, to reupload them in a new list, but
the format used for downloading isn't supported when uploading (this is really
strange to me, but ok)
|
You need to use the second tab on the upload page (https://www.bricklink.com/v2/wanted/upload.page
).
You’ll need to _paste_ the content of a Wanted List (one at a time, you can’t
paste them all at once).
To be clear:
— the BL WL XML format can only be pasted, not uploaded as a file (like can be
done with other formats),
— it can only be done on the upload page, not from the upload button inside a
WL.
🤷♂️
| | So I tried copying the parts to a new list. This worked for the first list. However
when I tried doing the same on the second list, it warned me that at least one
the parts was already in the new list. And yeah, some parts are used by different
lists. I would expect the app to merge them, that is, if both lists have the
same part, then the new list will have 2x that part. But apparently this is not
what happens.
What other options do I have to merge my lists? Other than looking up every individual
part once again.
|
Uploading by pasting XML on the upload page works. The verification page shows
a warning but it clearly says the quantity will be added to the previous one,
so it’s what we want.
Another solution is to use third-party tools, like BrickStore (application) or
Rebrickable (website).

Well, BrickLink terms of service say you can’t transfer an account. You can
sell (or give away) your items, but not the account & feedback.
OTOH, your situation is particular (incorporation & between spouses… but OTOOH,
you’re still two different people (or three, if there’s a “corporate/juridical

Try asking the Help Desk… but then, the answer may take some time.

Hi,
Unfortunately, there’s no easy way to do that in Studio
One solution would be to use the special light-emitting colours… and maybe a
custom part (as the ‘official’ part has its colours fixed).
Also, the dedicated forum for Studio and PartDesigner is https://forum.bricklink.com/
(hover over the red Studio icon on every page, then click “Studio Forum”).
Please search the forum for your question before posting a new one (the search

Hi,
You can’t directly do that
The My Collection feature isn’t complete and isn’t linked to the other parts
of the website 🙄
You can still do it if you:
1. download your order,
2. make an BrickLink XML inventory with it,
3. import that inventory in your My Collections / Parts.
(1) and (3) are rather easy, (2) is the complicated part.
The simplest way to do (2) is with using BrickStore… but then, you might as well
use BrickStore to manage your collection.

Hi and welcome
The Catalog Request topic is for, well, requests about the main catalogue, not
personal inventories.
As you’re very new and a buyer (not a seller), I presume you’re talking about
My Collection (https://www.bricklink.com/v3/myCollection/main.page ).
In that case, you can delete each section by uploading an empty file.
That is:
— click the Import/Export dropdown on the upper right corner of the “Add…” dialog
(see pic),
— choose “Import…,”
— select “Custom CSV or XML file” (top choice),
— give it an empty file (just create a file with nothing in it or just spaces),
— it’ll warn you it’s empty, continue,
— select “Replace collection”,
— it’ll warn you you’ll lost your collection, Submit.
