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

I’ve been having a hell of a time lately with new part outs. Mostly with dark

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.

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

It can be purchased in any LEGO store or reseller. But I still see that every

This it totally nuts imo.
I'm thinking of parting out 10 sets containing this part and pricing them
at around 50 cents to change the price guide which will force future sellers
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

bricklink, not BrickLink
Look at the logo

You are looking at the wrong logo. See the better one at the bottom of the
page. The new 'bricklink' logo (boring modern design without character
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.
Sigh...

You're right. Among other things.

Yes, all of this.
You can report the incomplete listings here:

Good luck,

| 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.

It says in the rules that color-corrected images are allowed, but it doesn't
say whether or not they keep the original submitter's username. Is keeping
it on purpose?
Thanks, emmetguy222

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.

I have an order that needs invoicing however every time I try and do it, it says
“The page cannot be displayed because an internal server error has occurred.”
Any help would be appreciated, thank you

Zero out all the fields you entered and submit. Then reenter the data and try
again. I would bet you have an errant space or punctuation mark.

im 99% certain its the light bluish gray version that has the alternate number

even side by side for the print of this part)
alternate number
42018pb03

desk room right now as I'm sorting thru lots of larger stickered/printed
parts so i cant leave parts laying around for to long to double check before
posting)

I've come around to the thinking that this part was not split correctly.
I have 2 different shades of 'thin' versions (very subtle) and 'thin'
versions that are the exact same color as 'thick' ones. It's a mess.

| | Hello,
From everything I have read here, the merging of 44302a/b was outside of what
the variant merge was intended to do. I don't care whether it was an oversight
or a misjudgement or just a mistake. Let's everyone take a breath here and
just work toward fixing this.
44302a and 44302b were grooved variants. This catalog still supports grooved
variants. BrickLink, please restore this change.
Thank you,
