| That sounds like a good deal, but after looking at your store, I just can't
shop there. The number of duplicate lots you have is extremely high, and that
makes it quite a pain to shop a store.

Years ago when you would reply to a Bricklink email from a member, it would already

| You have several duplicate lots in your store. (A duplicate lot is when there's
a part that's listed in the same color and condition more than once. For
instance, you have 3 lots of blue used 1X2 bricks that should all be 1 lot.)
Duplicate lots are tedious and annoying for buyers to browse through. Combining
those lots would definitely make your store easier to shop, and it could also
make your store appear on more wanted lists.

Ah, I see. If the seller didn't add an extended description letting buyers
know that the sticker was used and then pulled off of a part and was unable
to be restuck, then that seller had a bad listing.
Sellers can list anything as used, but if it's unable to function how it's
intended to, then they have to describe that in the item's extended description.
Of course, used stickers are far more unlikely to be reused than parts,
gear, etc, so it's even more important for sellers to describe those accurately.

As long as the seller says that they've been removed from parts and lists

|
| I just had someone buy all of a particular part in my store. (It was 1000+ quantity.)
I still had hundreds that I had not put in my store yet. I thought that he
might want to buy more if I had them, so I asked, and he said yes.
I counted them out and added them to my store reserved for that member. I don't
add lots reserved for someone very often, but if memory serves me correctly,
reserving a lot for a member does 2 things:
1. It, of course, reserves the lot for just that one member so that no one else
can buy it. (I think it makes it so that other members can't even see the
lot when shopping my store. Is that right?)
2. It sends that member an email notification that the lot was added and reserved
for them.
After I added the reserved lot, on the My Bricklink page, the link that says
"1 Lot in my store inventory not yet notified" showed up. In theory
sending out a notification should only email the member who I reserved the lot
for, but also in theory he already received a notification when I added the lot
to my store.
Is the ability to send out a notification for a reserved lot sort of a function
that's effectively doubled in the system?

The BL price guide can give you an idea of how to price the sets. 928 for example:

You'll have to upgrade to a seller account first though. Since you already

LEGO logo, and the vast majority of the time it's a legit part. It baffles
me that someone with a feedback score as good as yours doesn't know how differentiate
clones from real LEGO more thoroughly.
I realize that I care about this more than other AFOLs, but to me when a LEGO

Are the links a problem though? How many people see an obvious spam message with

To me, the issue is that the spam exists, not that there are clickable links
in the spam. Stopping any clickable links doesn't solve the spam issue.
Luckily, enough people report them and forum moderators act quickly once they
are reported reported and then the spam disappears if you have the hide cancelled
posts setting selected.

My thought was that if a new user tries to post a message with a URL, BL would
give the user an error (URLs/links not allowed in messages from new members,
or something like that,) and the message would not go through at all. If a spammer
found that he could not post a message with a link, he would give up very soon
(hopefully,) and leave.
You're entirely right about BL members not being dumb enough to click on
obviously bogus links (which makes me wonder why the spammers go to the trouble
of posting them anyway.) I also agree with you that the moderators do a good
job of cancelling the spam posts.

you should NOT leave negative feedback.
Leaving feedback is nice, but it's optional, as is marking orders as received
or complete. One of the things you should understand as a seller is that not
all buyers leave feedback. (That's not just here on Bricklink; it's
the same on other sites that use feedback.) Since you've already messaged
the buyer about it, I would just leave it at that.

If you part out a set, it will warn you but not try to combine the lots. You
have to do that manually. Not consolidating lots is often done by sellers with
smaller storage areas, where they bag up the parts from X copies of that set,
then use the set box as the storage location. That is, they don't have a
huge storage system, one part per location. It cuts down massively on storage
volume, as you might have 100 lots in the set box. It takes longer to pick as
each part doesn't have its own location, but much more efficient for storage
of smaller lots. Of course, they could locate the other similar lot in another
set and combine them but that is more work. It can also happen if you find there
is say 10x a part and pre-bag it to sell as a fixed quantity of 10. Then you
get that part again at a later date but this time 15x, and you pre-bag it as
15 qty.

What a ridiculous excuse. Those sellers with a bunch of lots for each parts
go straight to my least favorite list, and they completely deserve it.

| That sucks that your first purchase on Bricklink turned out so poorly. Maybe
the seller is in the hospital, or maybe he went on a Christmas vacation for December
and forgot to close his store. Whatever the reason, you were totally justified
to start an NSS after 2 weeks of nothing from the seller.
At this point it is possible but unlikely that the seller is ever going to fulfill
your order, so I think that buying the MFs from a different store is your best
option.

When someone pays with PayPal, and the funds in their PayPal account don't

The chain is attached to the back of the head. That was one of the early styles:

"Completely wrong" would be if it said something besides LEGO.

The only Classic Space torso to come with yellow hands is the all yellow one.
Some kids just love swapping hands for some reason. Torsos from Classic Space

The two aren't mutually exclusive. A seller can create an invoice, and the
buyer can then use the Pay Onsite method to pay through PayPal.
At what point in the buying process do you see the request for an invoice?
David
|
The buyer requests to purchase the item and instead of being sent to paypal to
finish the process, the buyer is sent a notice that an invoice will be generated
for the purchase by the seller.
|
That's normal. Once the seller creates an invoice and sends it to the buyer,
the buyer can click the Pay button to pay through PayPal.
There are 2 main ways that a buyer can be invoiced:
1. The store the buyer makes a purchase from has Instant Checkout. In that case,
the seller has set up shipping options to automatically assign a cost to orders,
so the invoice is there right away, and the buyer can pay right after he clicks
the Submit Order button.
2. The store does not have Instant Checkout (or the particular order does not
qualify for it.) In that case, the seller must manually create an invoice for
the buyer. Once the buyer has it, he can pay through PayPal.
In both scenarios the buyer pays through PayPal. In the Instant Checkout method,
the order placement and payment are one right after the other and thus seem like
one process, whereas in the manual invoice method, the order is placed, and the
length of time between that and payment is dependent on the speed of the seller
sending an invoice and then the speed of the buyer paying for the order.
Hope this helps,
David

I love that you can put in all your sets on a list to look them over.
If it is not already a section that I can't find, I think a spot for instruction
books in the "My Collection" section would be awesome.
As a collector/buyer who can't always remember what they have this would

It appears that you can add sets to My Collection, but not instructions or
boxes. Now here's the funny part. Let's say you go to a set in the
BL catalog that has both instructions and a box. To the right of the set picture
there are 3 main info blocks: My Store Inventory, My Wanted List and My Collection.
Now if you click on the Instructions Entry link for that set, the My Collection
info block disappears, but it's there for just a split second. It's
the same if you go to the Original Box Entry link. Try picking a set and clicking
back and forth between the Instructions Entry link and the Original Box Entry
link. The My Collection info block will show up in both, but if you blink, you
miss it.
Is it because BL has plans to implement the My Collection feature for instructions
and boxes in the future? Is it just a brief visual effect from the system starting
to load something that doesn't connect to anything? Is it just something
I see on my browser (Firefox) that some other users aren't going to see?
I'm not sure, but it's there.

In the search function why can it not stay on what we choose, selecting our

I thought it already did. BL is based out of California, which is 3 times zones
away from me, but when I scroll to the bottom of a page, it shows my local time.

| If you can take a good photo of the torso, it would be great if you would add
the part to the catalog.

| Years ago I suggested that sellers be allowed to have a local pickup option for
shipping, but that it needed a password to use, similar to bypassing a store's
minimum buy. No one at Bricklink cared, so the idea never went anywhere.

| It appears to show the years when each part went into production, but I have
no idea how that info could be useful on such a short list of parts, especially
when so many are Duplo. Where did you find it?

| | Hello all,
Just wondering if anybody knows of a LEGO brand part that is a
plate / round / 1 x 1, item # 4073,
but that it is a male-male piece?
Looking at the picture, it would be the piece on the right.
I believe Mega Bloks (now Mega Construx) has some but was wanting to use LEGO
brand.
Thank you in advance!

If it can be longer/thicker than a 1X1 plate, you can use either of these parts
to get studs on opposite ends.
If it needs to be more compact, you can use the side part of
but it will have a 1X1 plate sticking out the side.

| | I have about 40 32x32 baseplates I'd like to add to my store. Problem is
that I'm not sure of the best way to ship them. Do sellers just typically
ship them in large bubble envelopes or boxes? Large envelopes seem the most economical
but I'm concerned about damage to the plates. Boxes seem the most safe but
more costly to ship. What are your recommendations? Thanks.

The difference between the weight of a box and the weight of a large envelope
is tiny compared to the weight of the baseplates. A box is the only sane way
to ship baseplates.
