  When I opened my store shipping was a weight scale, starting at $3.00 but hat
really only covers First Class postage, which can't be tracked. One package
sent First Class still hasn't arrived to the sller, after 2 weeks.

You are the seller. Your customers are buyers.

You can't ship LEGO via First Class mail. This is just for normal mail that
runs through the roller sorting machines. You should turn off this shipping method.
Go through the Calculate a Price feature on USPS.com to learn the different shipping
methods and their rules and prices.

  I changed my shipping options to 2 methods that provide tracking information
- Ground Advantage for $5.95 and Priority which is $9.85.

These prices are high. Consider purchasing your postage online for a significant
discount.

  
Problem is buyers are still paying the $3.00 so every shipment I eat a min. of
$2.95. I'm sure it's something I haven't done, don't know how
to do, etc.

Suggestions?

Go through your shipping methods. Delete or disable the ones you don't want
to use. Don't trust any 'shared' shipping method on BrickLink. They
are not maintained or updated. You need to learn enough to create your own shipping
methods. I would suggest updating your terms as well.

Good luck,

  Please make changes to the following inventory:
 
Set No: 70400  Name: Forest Ambush
* 
70400-1 (Inv) Forest Ambush
74 Parts, 4 Minifigures, 2013
Sets: Castle

* Delete 3 Part 3794 Tan Plate, Modified 1 x 2 with 1 Stud, Jumper (Undetermined Type) (Alternate) (match ID 1)

Comments from Submitter:
I don’t know how this works but if you think about it, a undetermined type can’t be a alternate item.


This is not how it works.

May I ask how it works? I’m a little confused about undetermined types as alternate
items.

You can learn a lot from reading the change logs:

https://www.bricklink.com/catalogInvChangeItem.asp?itemType=S&itemNo=70400-1&viewDate=Y&viewStatus=1

Note the dates things were changed and any relevant dates on the parts. You will
find that this part was not undetermined when it was added to the set inventory.
It needs to be resolved just like any other newly undetermined entry.

He told me that it could take 6 months for it to come back. Since it is almost
6 months, I want to check back with him.

I do not believe this is accurate. Any package without movement within 2 months
is considered lost.

Where did you get this 2 month "rule"?

I made it up right there on the spot!

  Can anyone help?

After 6 months of not getting my money back for a refused international package.
(shipping was 50% higher than quoted, so I sent the package back)

You would have known the shipping charges when you paid. Are you talking about
customs fees or taxes? Was there a VAT form attached to your parcel?

  
The seller (Oasis in South Carolina) refused to refund my money until the package
came back to him. There is no detailed tracking on return packages, but it shows
that it came into the USA on October 28th.

He told me that it could take 6 months for it to come back. Since it is almost
6 months, I want to check back with him.

I do not believe this is accurate. Any package without movement within 2 months
is considered lost.

  
All of my prior orders are gone and so are my old messages.

BrickLink purges all non-problem orders after 6 months.
  
I was able to download the order (without much details, but it had the prices).

You would have received a detailed invoice when you made your purchase. Find
it in your email account.
  
Is there a way to get back my messages? Or order? I did not delete these things.

No, but BrickLink messages should also be sent to your email. Have a look!
  

Unless your seller failed to attach the VAT receipt to your order, whatever charges
that occurred were likely not their fault. However, 6 months is a ridiculous
time frame and they should have responded to you by now with either a refund
or a resolution you could both agree to.

Good luck,
~Jen

  I was going through my stock of 1x5 liftarms, and stumbled upon a color I have
not seen before. It is somewhere between Light and Dark bluish grays (middle
part in attached picture). It is not the old grays either. What is it? Bricklink
does NOT list such color. Could it be an off-brand or else?
It dies have the typical mold markings in the small openings (part number etc).

Any thoughts?

Some of the Light Bluish Grays are fading to an odd paler color. (Whether still
sealed in box or not.)

  So either the kid who this collection came from is unusually strong or LEGO is
having some serious quality control issues. I've found more broken parts
in this lot than I've ever seen before. I've got plates and bricks from
30+ years ago that have held up better than these parts from under 7 years ago.

Anyone else seeing an increase in damaged parts from newer bulk used purchases?

I’ve been having a hell of a time lately with new part outs. Mostly with dark
red and red brown. It’s so bad I started a box of rejects that I’ll just fill
up and sell by the pound.

Yeah, I pulled this out of a new sealed set last year!

Source: set used for original inventory.

Just FYI, this set was on display from when it was first inventoried. I just
took it apart and most of the Reddish Brown and Dark Brown splintered and cracked.
The majority of the Light Bluish Gray has also turned the odd yellowish shade.
(Not sun damaged.)

We had clear skies and a great view here in Chicago. Amazing how much light there
still was when all but a sliver of the sun was covered.
