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,

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.

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,

Some of the Light Bluish Grays are fading to an odd paler color. (Whether still

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.

It hasn't been worth shipping to Europe the past decade.
Shipping USPS International is outrageously expensive.
If you ship using Ascendia, the shipping is a bit cheaper, but it is going through
third party, so riskier.
Then Europeans whine about VAT even though they voted for welfare states, so
they want you to lie on customs form, which is a federal crime.

That's quite a stereotype and says more about you than any quantity of Europeans.
In all my time here as a seller, I've had only 2 customers ask for a slightly

Two right now (today). UK and Belgium.
Tracked, arrived but either refused or just lying. Cannot tell yet but I have

I suspect it was designed to represent what they wanted 'bricklink' to

What it doesn't do is represent what we actually are: complicated, a mash-up

This it totally nuts imo.
I'm thinking of parting out 10 sets containing this part and pricing them

of this item to sell this item cheaper.
To the sellers: do you also experience these kinds of crazy things?

You really think sellers are checking the pricing and availability of every item
in a part out? They set it 'just below the 6 months average' and click
the button.
By the way, if everyone keeps doing that, the prices will all hit bottom. Like
every book on amazon costing $.99

Look at the logo

You are looking at the wrong logo. See the better one at the bottom of the

or reference to its source) was designed by someone who didn't even get the
correct proportions of a brick. It bothers me literally every time I see it.

| Hello,
In my honest opinion, your letter is a bit wordy and goes well past the fundamentals
that a new user would need to be exposed to. Some users may appreciate the information,
some users may wonder why they need to read a wall of text to just order some
LEGO.
Also, it's BrickLink, not Bricklink.
Thanks,
~Jen

| | As we all know, getting buyers to reply to messages and/or leave feedback can
be brutal. I don't know if it's just me but my feedback response rate
fell off a cliff around early February. 83 orders and just 35 feedbacks which
drops well below the 60% rate most of us have.
I've had a few buyers with very high feedback numbers but they have left
___ZERO___ for other users. Those people are to far gone, so I decided to try
to tackle the problem with the new users.
I tend to get a lot of buyers with very low scores, so when I recently had a
few zero feedback users place orders, I decided to try something proactive and
drafted up this letter which was included in their package. Of the two I sent
it to so far, both followed the instructions. One even went back and added feedback
for other orders they placed. I sent my third one out today which is what prompted
me to go double check on the other two users.
And I know, I know, "don't worry about your feedback number more than
your feedback rating", but there are people out who see that number first
and assume that with experience comes better service and fewer hassles. It's
also just a few extra keystrokes of extra work to help improve the community
for everyone IMO.

You should not take another submitter's image, edit it, and upload it yourself.
No matter how much it needs editing. If this were possible, there would be no
dust or lint on any image on BrickLink because I would fix it.
You are only allowed free use of the images from LEGO.

Is that common business practice, to communicate after shipping that parts are

Put a note with the order ... DO NOT SHIP IF MISSING PARTS A, B AND C.

Yes. This seems to be the only way to defend against this unfortunate seller
practice.
Also, if sellers want to just refund parts without telling you, and they don't
advertise this practice in their terms, they ought to refund your shipping as
well so you can shop elsewhere.

I used the building instructions from LEGO. The BI have the 366501.

Sorry, I failed to specify that I was referencing the 7 digit code for the instructions.
I checked on LEGO.com and it looks like that version is 6073915. So, it seems
these parts would need to be considered as Alternates.

I have always liked the option to use assemblies where it makes sense to do so.
One example is where a specific tire and wheel combo only exists as one exact
example or one color combination. There are very few of those, I think.
After spending time identifying wheels and tires, it can save you a ton of headaches
in the future if you LABEL THEM with the part numbers.

Take photos of what you send out. That way you know if you made a mistake and

Its great because when printed on a standard printer page you can just lay the

I highly recommend this chart for every person identifying tires.

| | Hi All,
For the first time, a seller has blocked me from buying, and I'm wondering
if I did something against the rules. I had a cart ready to check out, and sent
them a message to ask about a couple of variants (screen shot of the message
below).
When I click back on the store cart, I now see the following message "Seller
Refuses Service. This seller does not want to sell to you and has placed you
on their stop list."
I'm really confused, and am wondering if I violated any rules by sending
the message before checking out? I'm just a hobby seller, with no negative
feedback, and am now worried they may leave me some (even though I didn't
even place an order). Should I reach out to them, or just let it go? Looking
for good advice.
Thanks in advance!

I would suggest that is pretty strong indicator that they don't differentiate
variants. You broke no rules, they are just rude. And you can't leave feedback
without a transaction. Time to move on to another shop!

Quite new with all the catalog requests:
I added three new rare pieces I would like to sell. It's been quite a while

Is there a way to ask someone kindly to proceed with the upload?

You submitted these less than two weeks ago?
https://www.bricklink.com/catalogPend.asp
Your entries look good, but I would advise a bit more patience. There is a long
list of pending items, the admin do the best they can with the limited time they
have available, and new parts are generally prioritized over older or specialty
items.

| | Hello,
This is regarding my new minifigure submission (njo884x; althought I'm not
the one who added the "x" ).
The minifigure was included in "b24njo02pl". The Polish title and multiple
mentions inside the book suggest a "hunter", although the English publisher
site (https://www.ameet.eu/book/lego-ninjagoempire-warrior/) mentions the following
names:
- "Imperium Warrior" (on the cover)
- "Imperium Hunter" (in the description)
- "Dragon Hunter no 29" (multiple mentions inside the book, can also
be found among book pictures on publisher's site)
Parts wise:
- torso, legs, head and helmet are the same as in njo815 ("Imperium Claw
General" )
- the only difference between this minifigure and njo815 is the lack of "Black
Minifigure Armor Shoulder Pads Spiked with Stud on Back"
- a "Imperium Claw Hunter" (njo817) is already known, but has different
set of torso, legs and helmet
Please advise how to correctly add this minifigure.
Thanks in advance for your help!

It depends on the brush. A wide cheek brush is not going to work. Built LEGO
has too many nooks and crannies. I use a soft synthetic acrylic paintbrush from
the art store. It's kinda pricey ($10-15) but leaves no scratches.

44302a and 44302b were isolated because one has a groove and one doesn't,

I agree. If LEGO released a part variant today with a groove on one side for

Why were the grooved variants merged?
|
Because they were on the list from the beginning:
https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=2629
The reason they got on the list is because they are not classified as cosmetic
variants or typical grooved parts. The groove became apparent when the teeth
on the hinges was being examined, and the grooves were distinguished for the
same reason as the teeth. But when we remove the reason for recognizing the teeth,
we also remove the reason for recognizing the groove.
|
I am sorry but I am not following the logic here. I understood that the reason
for merging the 2 teeth variants was that they were functionally and visually
not distinct enough to matter. However, the groove is a separate issue isn't
it? Previous communication about this project has iterated that Groove / Without
Groove was not going to be affected. And now it has.
Can we please get an answer on why specifically 44302 was merged? How is the
distinction different from 44567a/b and 44301a/b?

The description for this part says that it can have either a blocked open stud
or a hollow stud. To me, having one entry for a part that appears to have two
versions is a problem. For sellers, there is no way to list the two variations
separately, and for buyers there is no way to know what version they will be
receiving in an order.
This can be a problem if a buyer needs one version, but receives the other. Please
create a second catalog entry so sellers can differentiate the two versions in
their store listings. I would recommend the following...
3688a - Slope 75 2 x 2 x 2 Quadruple Convex with Blocked Open Stud
3688b - Slope 75 2 x 2 x 2 Quadruple Convex with Hollow Stud
|
Blocked Open Studs and Hollow Studs have a similar footprint/shape. They should
both hold the Barraki Eye the same. Are you perhaps looking for an Open Stud?

BrickLink inventories are currently intended to show the contents of a New set.
Used sets are at the mercy of both the buyer and seller understanding the terms
outlined here:
https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=102
Obviously, a New and Used set can have distinct differences in the inventory.
Unfortunately, BL doesn't have the infrastructure to show inventories for
each set condition.

It does look like it has been heavily manipulated. It looks very similar to the
dark brown image (orientation, pip on stud, shadows) but cleaned up and recoloured,
maybe put through a photo-realistic filter.

No, it's just an image with too much light. It's reflecting off the white
base and background and washing out the edges.

You would like them to split a category with just 24 items in it? Is this really

Not all categories use the same definitions.

There hasn't been a major issue or there would be a mutiny here on the Forum.
I know it's frustrating to deal with errors in your inventory, but consider
the bigger picture. There are 4,800 Dark Brown 3062 for sale on the site, but
the only problem was with your shop? The number and name were updated on Feb
1. No items were merged.
Take a breath and check your info again. I do hope you find the issue!

Photos aren't good enough for color identification. Direct comparison is
the way to go. Find a decorated part that only comes in your color to use for
comparison.
For example:

Could you be more specific about what technical issues you are referring to?
Are you talking about Catalog changes that affect your inventory (like a category
change) or actual bugs in seller inventories?
If it's the latter, I have not experienced any of these. I have always been
able to track down any discrepancies to user error. (Mostly, not checking that
the page fully updated before I left it.) Nor have I read about any that weren't
related to third-party software or order checkout.

Yeap, it is the later, and I can assure you I'm not the only one having these
technical issues, unfortunately.
One of my friends owns a store here too and encounters these issues. Mostly items
that were sold and reappear in store, or the contrary. I can assure you it's
not the seller's fault
I only work on the Bricklink website, not from Brickstore, may be that's
the reason of the problem.
And yes, I learnt to wait for the page to finish updating before leaving it..
Anyway, my post actually is about COMMUNICATION
what I was trying to say is that it would be really cool, if, for a change, the
support team would keep sellers informed a bit more than presently..
Thanks!!

I am certain that using BrickLink without third-party software is not what's
causing your issues.
Without access to change logs for our store inventories, it's very difficult
to track down phantom inventory errors. I think you are asking them to communicate
with you about issues that have not been reported, acknowledged, or fixed.
The reality is that if there were large-scale store inventory issues, sellers
would be reporting errors here every minute of every day.

me that uploading of the XML file didn't work. After taking a look at it,
I noticed they were all parts that have a 'b' suffix in them. They all
are from tile pieces, just removing the b's from all the items works, but
tile pieces are really common and I assume this has not only broke mine, but
will break everyone's XML files people have shared.
Please let someone take a look at it.

Forum software platforms allow time limits to be set for how long after posting
a comment someone can edit it. A lot of forums use 30 minutes. Bricklink could
use 5 minutes as far as I'm concerned - short enough to allow correction
of typos, or of missing words that change the meaning (like an accidentally omitted
"not" or "should" instead of "shouldn't" and so on).
That would enable folks to edit without engaging in the kind of revisionist history
you're concerned about.
It's also worth noting that the current system allows you to entirely delete
(aka cancel) a message. I just looked up the first message I ever posted here
on the forums, from Sep 2021, and the Cancel function still appears as an option.
So I think there's clearly a better way: allow edits, and have an automated
time limit for both edits and cancellations. That solves the problem you are
concerned about - which, again, already exits via cancellation - while allowing
comment edits, which every web forum I'm aware of has allowed for many years
now.

This is a good conversation and I just want you to know that I am not trying
to argue with you purposefully. I feel it's important to always speak up
when anyone wants to 'upgrade' our Forum and may not understand all the
specifics involved. It's somewhat arcane knowledge from an advanced user.
And it's for you and for whoever reads these, and whoever at BrickLink
may get ideas in their heads, too.
It's important to know the function here is not just for communication and
social media. The technical requirements would have to be built into any changes
that happen here.
Thanks,
~Jen
ps. If I could add just one feature here it would be a notification of a direct
reply. That would be SO nice!

It's not so simple as that. Yes, we need more features, but a plug-and-play
system won't work. Parts of our Catalog system work extensively with the
Forum. We can't just throw that away. The entire process would need to be
reworked and developed.
Look in Topics to the entire Reference Catalog section.

Plus, aside from discord, I haven't yet met a Forum that worked as well as
this one. That is, once you learn the functions and get past the vintage graphical
interface. Most forums also have too much visual clutter.

Thanks for your reply. I hadn't considered the question of catalogue integration
- thanks!
However, with respect I do have to say that the archaic thread structure and
the inability to edit a post or comment(!) has nothing intrinsically to do with
catalogue integration and I remain skeptical that at least comment editing couldn't
be implemented without requiring a total ground-up rework.
|
Just curious... What's wrong with the thread structure? To me, it seems extremely
straightforward. I can easily read any message or any thread within a message
by using the 2 links at the bottom of the page. (Entire thread on one page, etc.)
I can also quickly find replies I want to read by scanning through the visual
message tree.
Thanks,
~Jen
|
I understand that reasonable people can differ on the question of the thread
structure.
One aspect I would cite is that people routinely post comments that repeat information
in other comments in the thread... because those other comments are part of a
different "branch" of the thread.
|
Okay, but there is also the advantage of being able to easily ignore a thread
within the discussion that has devolved into an argument. (Or extended pizza
frivolities)
| |
But I would hope we could all agree that something as basic as being able to
edit a comment instead of having to cancel the entire thing and start over, would
be useful and isn't too much to ask - yes?
|
Yes, and no. Personally, I think being able to edit and fix spelling or grammar
would be great. However, I wouldn't like it if people were able to change
what they originally posted derailing or redefining the entire conversation.
Also, the new text from the edited post wouldn't populate into any existing
responses that copied the text from the original. So, then there would be more
than one version floating around the discussion. That's not good either.
My two cents...
Thanks,
~Jen
|
Also, many posts relating to changes within the Catalog are kept and are part
of the public record. It wouldn't be good if those comments could be edited
or changed unless we had a Change Log for these as well. For good or bad, all
our comments and mistakes are there to stay.

Do you mean should LEGO call it a different version or BrickLink? If LEGO doesn't

In my opinion, there is 1 version, but Lego has made some misprints in the set
which can be exchanged by contacting Lego
but I don't understand why the set is uploaded with the parts with misprints,
I guess they are meant to be thrown away

Umm... I don't think mistakes are 'meant' to be thrown away. That's
a pretty large assumption.

| My rule of thumb for distinguishing variants in my shop:
If a buyer were to receive these two (slightly different) parts in one lot in
their order, are they going to question whether some of them are fake or unusual?
It's the same with colors. If the parts I am listing are too different to
use in one project, then I either split them or make a note.
