Hi BriantheMayan here,

I just bought the Lightyear Zurg 76831 set and am planning to sell the Buzz and
Izzy figs that come with it. I was wondering whether or not it would be best
to sell without the alternative heads and hair that come with them. I see some
do and others don’t. I was curious if buyers have an expectation that they will
come with them and it might lead to a problem or perhaps I should list those
parts separately.

Any advice would be great.

I received this email from BrickLink:



[Action required] Deadline has been extended to August 4, 2024

"Hello Give.Me.A.Brick,

Your deadline to enable distance selling has been extended to August 4, 2024*.

We want to remind you that you have reached the EUR 10,000 distance selling threshold
on BrickLink for the 2024 calendar year and may need to enable distance selling.
The new EU Marketplace rules went into effect on July 1, 2021 indicating that
any seller with more than EUR 10,000 worth of distance sale of goods must register
with their local tax authorities and charge the VAT rate of the buyer's country.

You will need to register for either One Stop Shop (OSS) or in each individual
EU Member State where you sell on BrickLink. Once you obtain your OSS ID number
or the VAT IDs for the countries you transact in, you can then enable distance
selling on BrickLink.

To enable distance selling, go to the Value Added Tax (VAT) section on the Store
Settings Management page.
Go to Store Settings Management page

If no action is taken, your selling abilities on BrickLink within the EU Member
States (other than your home nation) will be blocked until the end of the next
calendar year. During this time you can still register and enable distance selling.

To learn more about distance selling, please see the European Commission article
on this topic.

Thank you,
The BrickLink Team

*11:59pm ET"



I already have registered for OSS and Distance Selling enabled since late 2022
so I'm confused if there's anything further I need to do?

Thanks for any help.

Beyond SezaR's guidance, you might encourage your buyer in moving forward
to activate that notification (link) feature on their My Action Items page too:
https://www.bricklink.com/mySettings.asp

They should appreciate the tip.

Link
Ask to search the id of the item inside your store

Or hover to “my bl” where there is a link to items reserved for buyer (items
reserved by all sellers if there is any other seller who reserved an item for
him)

  So I sold a set from my personal collection. Been sitting on a shelf for years
and I disassembled and inventoried it before listing.

I hear from the buyer a week after shipping about how the set is horribly damaged
and parts not even fitting together. They are terribly disappointed and want
their money back. I know that not to be the case, but I send a label for return
shipping and will refund once received. It's just a Creator set, so no minifigs
or rare parts to worry about being swapped.

I get the set back, and it's obvious it was never even opened. All parts
in the separate bags I used. I'm pretty sure the box was still sealed with
my packing tape.

I refunded the purchase anyway. Sucks I'm out $25 for the shipping both ways,
but you have this occasionally. Is rather they had just been honest about having
buyer's remorse.

You were not obliged to pay for return shipping. I wouldn't pay it.

Hey All,
I am giving some serious consideration to selling all my stock and storage and
closing down my store just because I am having trouble finding the time to keep
up with it.
This is the current stock level...
Total 68,114 items in 4,566 lots in 171 categories.
My store inventory total value (Original Price): GBP 8,691.49
My store inventory total value after sale (Category Average): GBP 8,691.49
Most of it is parted out and there is a few complete sets
I also have...
26 x 60 drawer storage units each drawer has 2 parts these cost £34 each total
£884
86 Clip lock style containers of 4 different sizes costing around £300 for all
150 Takeaway size containers costing about £30 for the lot.
Most of the Lego in the store is new and I also have available loads of used
Lego that is my own collection.
Everything is organised using a bar code system and I also have a small bar code
scanner that can go with it.
If anyone is interested in making an offer please get in touch. Only serious
offers please.
