I've noticed that sometimes the prices in NOK are not sorted correctly (price

In the two screenshots it looks like one shop is pricing in EUR and that price
is converted to NOK and is sorted correctly. The other looks like it's pricing
in NOK, which is converted in EUR and is sorted incorrectly. Exchange rates are
the same 0.9911.63 is same as 2.3527.50

I have only noticed this behaviour with shop's from Norway. Why is this?

NOK, Nokia Oyj shares?

NOK NOK, whos there?

A Norwegian?

Are maybe someone doubling down on Nokia Oyj shares

Setting up Open Orders for a new seller

Viewed:

79 times

Topic:

Wondering if anyone can help me to setup or check my option for Open Orders please.
I'm a new seller, and believe I've setup the option for buyers to place
an Open Order. I did this from a shared shipping option I copied.

I have a buyer (who is very patient!) who has created an open order. He added
some parts which showed as Batch 1. He added more parts which appeared in the
same Order number as Batch 2. So far so good.

At this stage the Order Status changed to "Updated". I assume this was
done automatically.

The buyer then added more parts, but they didn't appear in that open order.
Instead a whole new order number was created. The status of that new order
is "Pending".

So I'm not sure if this is some strange glitch that hasn't added another
batch to the already open order, or if this is something I haven't setup
correctly. The Buyer would now like to complete his order(s). What do I/we
do?

1: Is there a way to cancel the 2nd order and fix some setting so that when
he re-adds the part it is added to the original order.
2: Do I just send two invoices for the two orders with a total value that covers
the shipping as a single package?

Grateful for any advice, thanks.

So, Catalog admins, will this get updated?
At the moment you have 18938 and 88738 as alternate numbers for the same part,
and 48168 as a mold variant. How anyone could have entered a 60 tooth gear as
mold variant of a 56 tooth gear is a question for another day...

From what I can see the mold variant link should be removed - Z56 and Z60 are
different.
The alternate number link should also be removed, and the descriptions of the
part should be updated to reflect the bevel teeth on one of them.

Or does all this fall in your recent program of dumbing down the database...

Hi,

That’s a strange one indeed. The “Extra” section is for parts that are found
in a sealed box but are not needed for any of the builds seen in the instructions
or on the box.

I had that set when I was a kid… I don’t remember 3 unused arches 🤔

Well, I just checked my parts: there indeed must have been 5 Light Gray 2339
in that set because I’ve 9 and the 4 others are from 6085.

Weird that there were no images of their use on the box….

Hello all! How much would you pay someone to sort a 12 gallon tub of Lego?
I buy Lego at about $2 - $4 a pound if that helps

How would you want it sorted by color or category or size?

Categories.

We sort into 19 different categories. The same ones that the Great Brick Lab
(GBL) uses to sort their Lego. I’ll post a link to the sorting sheet later.

Here's the link to the sorting sheet.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1809BBSWvmC6HrqpWcbQa-YP6alDrJOIe/view

They share it in the description for this video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iSr8117iiIQ&t=7s

I printed it out and sort 1 pound of Lego into the category’s and it took around
50 minutes so I’m think maybe $2 a pound. But maybe state that you have to finish
sorting the entire bin to get paid. I would also pull out category #16 just as
a per caution. Also it should not be snowing this time of year

I'm cackling, thank you XD

No problem

My personal favorite is:

There are many ways to get e-mail addresses, specific ones or in bulk lists.

Ex: a buyer 3 years ago could have his PC infected by a trojan or a virus which
will parse all his local e-mails and send the addresses From/To etc.

Or another site you registered which had its database hacked.

Or often, while simply Googling the web.

And zillion other ways, most of them not being related to BrickLink.

I'm also pretty sure LEGO isn't interested / doesn't allow

The concept of promoting peace while representing mass destruction objects is
a VERY complex approach, and I think you're far from this comprehension /

Got someone asking to purchase a single part lot with a pre-shipping order value

My question concerns the up-to-date rules as applied here to distance
selling with the UK. Not certain about UK cross-border buying protocols, anymore.

~ As seller, will I need to electronically insert proof of taxes-paid into the
customs form (IOSS) in order to avoid the buyer being double taxed?

~ If taxation is applicable to such an order, will taxes be processed within
the order itself, or garnered from the buyer on the receiving end?

Thanks in advance

Help pages notwithstanding, if any UK member would care to offer empirical
input it would be appreciated. Thanks

It's really straightforward

BrickLink will automatically collect the UK VAT (under GBP135).
You will receive an e-mail with the VAT receipt, and can download the PDF from
the order page if not recevied.
Print it and attach it in a transparent document pocket outside.
Fill a normal CN22 or CN23 form.

This. Specifically for UK - this is enough. Your PayPal payment will have a 'Partner
Fee' section for this, which will be forwarded to BL's PP account immediately.
You will have to attach a VAT invoice to the outside of the package - you will
see it on the order page + will receive an email from BL with a .pdf

No need to attach anything electronically to your shipping label.

Thank you, guys!

I'll take both of your inputs as empirical and as an affirmation of the updated
help page. Very helpful. Thanks again

Best regards,

I am not sure a "Parts list" exists for just this build. You would have
to look at instructions for this build and make a parts list yourself.

Using the inventory for this set, the instructions, and a wanted list, you can
add the parts for each step to the wanted list by selecting them from the inventory
of the set. You can then download your wanted list, I believe, though I do not
know how as I have never done it before. Someone here could help with that aspect
though.

Good luck,

I may be mistaken but I think to the UK you don’t need IOSS but rather just printout
the VAT receipt and include it on the package. At the top of the order whenever
taxes (except to the USA) are applied you will have additional options at the
top of the order that let you know what to do. Picture 1 is from a UK order I
had which only prompts me to include the VAT receipt (which I download and print
out on 1 or several shipping labels and apply to the package just like the
normal label) and then in image 2 which went to the Netherlands I needed to also
include IOSS in addition to the receipt.

As for your 2nd question, yes if bricklink collects taxes they are collected
on the order itself just like USA sales tax unless it exceeds some $ amount which
varies by country in which case the buyer is charged it on delivery

Thanks. But this doesn't help to advance my understand beyond what I already
knew, in what to expect from the specific order details presented...

"if bricklink collects" "exceeds some $ amount"
"varies by country"

The effort is always appreciated though. Thanks again

These are specific numbers

In Problem Order, pcthurman writes:

I checked out, the final checkout screen had Batch 1 and Batch 2 on it. Even
though my 1st order had been paid for, both orders were included. He sent me
an invoice that included shipping and a credit for the amount of money I paid
on the first order minus the state taxes. I cannot pay for the order. The seller
has contacted the Help Desk to find a solution.
I would like to think that all he has to do is refund the money I paid, mark
the order as ready or packed and then he could send a new invoice similar to
how a store would manage an order that paid with an offsite payment where taxes
could not be remitted to Bricklink?

It sounds to me like the seller somehow marked the original order as Not Paid
since a Paid order would not be batched with a 2nd order.

Only way is while NOT using an on site payment method.

Then again, comes the problem of possible avoid taxes

What a mess.

I'd be buyer or seller, I'd cancel the whole and restart from scratch
if possible and not too late.

Picture on the catalog is of a light gray piece but no known color information

If that part ever appeared in a set, then it would need to be added to the set

However, I think it is just the print from

30119pb01 Wing Plate Bi-level 8 x 4 and 2 x 3 1/3 Down with Silver/Orange/Black UFO Logo Pattern
Parts: Wing

printed on the wrong part.

In that case, the part should probably not even be in the catalog.

Cheers,

I actually think this part should be deleted. It looks like I found it in error.
The part that I have on hand is actually 30119pb01 (up vs. down). It also appears
that the 30118pb03 pictured in the inventory is a printed on the wrong part.

Recently had a small order where they buyer chose to not pay with instant checkout.

They then sent an email saying that they had sent the payment to me via email.

When I responded that the payment had not come through yet, they requested to
cancel.

I think they were hoping that I didn't check and just shipped it, thinking
it was paid.

Has anyone experience this type of possible scam where they try to get you to
ship something by pretending they have already paid?

Die endlose Geschichte der Diskussion über NEU oder GEBRAUCHT muss doch endlich
mal zu einem Ende kommen!
Selbstverständlich beschwört jeder Verkäufer
sofort aus der OVP entnommen
vorsichtig den Helm aufgesteckt
den Kopf auf den Torso
Beine ran
und rauf auf die Baseplatte.

Diese Schritte verursachen UNBESTREITBAR Gebrauchspuren, sein es Kratzer am Kopfdruck
und Hals, oder "arm swing scratches" seitlich des Torsos, leichte Quetschungen
an der Unterseite des Torsos und natürlich unübersehbare Beschädigung der Unterseite
der Beine durch Aufsetzen der Figur auf die Baseplatte.

Dann wird die Figur ausgestellt, staubt ein, bleicht aus und....
wird dann nach (X-Tagen/Wochen/Monaten/Jahren) als NEU angeboten!

Auf die Reklamation kommt dann die Antwort: UNPLAYED CONDITION = NEW!

Deshalb sind wir in unserem kleinen Laden dazu übergegangen, "NEVER ASSEMBLED/BRANDNEW"
hinzu zu fügen.
Vielleicht sollte dieser kleine Zusatz hier bei BL eingeführt werde...

Wie steht die Community dazu?

Wir haben einige Figuren aus Büchern usw. die bereits von LEGO zusammengebaut
kommen.
Sind diese dann neu oder gebraucht?

Bei dieser Frage wird es wohl nie 100% Einigkeit geben.

As per bricklink terms those are still new so long as they came they that and
they havnt been used for anything other then sorting/listing

OK,
what is "anything other than"

...displayed in your private, dark, non-smoky,...bla-bla...collection over 1
day, 1 month or ten years???
...displayed inside your local store for sale...than after time(s) not sold...offer
"NEW" in BL??? Than bleached bec. of sunlight/UV-light and dusty...but
UNPLAYED??!!

What I mean is, BL`s def. of "NEW" is not excact,
if they clearly say: new def. from Jan.1st, 2025
never assembled
direct from set to bag
never displayed
unplayed/untouched but only for sorting and than FOR SALE (not for private enjoyment)
...
so easy to say, dear seller, you sent fig with arm-swing scratced torso, declared
"new" = sorry is not.

Bricklink says this
“New Minifigures - Minifigures are brand new, taken directly from new sets or
purchased as new in another form such as accessory packs or Pick A Brick and
have been handled only for sorting. Minifigures may be listed as new either assembled
or unassembled.”
So no, if it’s displayed in your collection it is not new but if you bag each
one up and store them unused for any purpose and then list it then it’s new.
Im assuming something is lost in translation as I never sent you any minifigures
let alone “ dear seller, you sent fig with arm-swing scratced torso, declared
"new"”

I can’t even begin to count how many times I’ve used https://brickognize.com/
to identify Lego. It’s really a time saver.

I have had the same experience as RebelliousBrick. Sometimes, but not always,
the Gift with Purchase set is shipped separately from a large set. I also agree
with RebelliousBrick that this is because of where the sets ship from.

You didn't actually think that TLC cares about our boxes getting crushed,
did you?

Big maybe on that. I thought everything came out of Illinois. Mos Eisley's
were 9+ pounds and came with the GWPs in the same box. The Orient Expresses
were 7+ and came in the "ready to ship" boxes that are custom sized,
but the the GWPs came separate. Where else do they ship from in the US?

I have received Shop At Home orders from Kentucky.

Not to mention that stores on BL can not have more than one physical location
from which they ship from.

That is for regular people and companies. I'm sure they could find a way
round if they wanted to do it. Such as having three different LEGO BL stores,
one for standard parts, one for bestsellers Europe and one for bestsellers North
America, or however many locations they ship from.

But it would still go back on what they said originally, and I think would damage
new parts sales from regular sellers who would then shift their stores completely
to brickowl. Moving both used and new parts sellers, moving customers and losing
BL fees.

We don't know how lucrative PaB is, but I am sure it isn't just for the
benefit of lego enthusiasts. If TLG were to capture more actual sales then just
fees, I am sure they would be making more money then just fees alone. So if a
brick only costs a few cents to manufacture and they can capture the same profit
as PaB that will be more than 3-2% of what a part sells for on here.

Example:
PaB part cost to manufacture, 5 cents, sells for 10 cents that is 5 cent profit.
Where a seller sells that part at 10 cents TLG makes 2 cents (from a major seller).

Sure you can say but TLG has overhead, where? They are already manufacturing,
storing, sorting for sets and PaB so no additional overhead.

TLG has a global foot print, way more than any seller has on here along with
better shipping rate options.

Sure they could try to capture more of the market for inividual new parts, but
at what long term cost? They cannot keep up with PAB standard as it is. PAB best
seller is OK for speed but that s relatively small inventory.

If they aim to kill small businesses selling on bricklink then there is little
point in owning bricklink. Longer term,it would be worse for sellers and buyers.

In Problem Order, pcthurman writes:

I have been buying on this site for 20 years. Never have I had a problem paying
for an order until now.

My seller sent me an invoice, I paid for the order, the seller contacted me and
told me he forgot to add in the shipping and that he would send another invoice
for that. Knowing the seller could not invoice me for just shipping, I told the
seller to hold on to the order for 1 week and I would place another order so
that they could then invoice me for the shipping for both orders and send them
both together.

To me this seemed like a no-brainer. It gets me a bunch of parts I need and I
get to save on shipping and the seller gets the shipping costs paid.

1 week goes by and I place my second order, the seller sends me an invoice for
the second order, but I think something must have been wrong with it because
when I clicked into the invoice there was a message at the top of it that the
invoice had been updated and it had a "Go" link.

Okay this is new; I have never seen an invoice with a "Go" link before.
I click on the link, and it takes me to another invoice that looks identical
to the first invoice. I read through the invoice, as I always do, make sure it
all looks correct, and go back up to the top to click on the "Pay" button
only there isn't a "Pay" button. I look on my orders page, no "pay"
button next to the order. I look on the order itself, no "Pay" button.

Maybe this new invoice is updated with postage?

The first payment went through just fine as an onsite PayPal transaction. At
this point I would think that my order would automatically default to paid. As
I have never had a store on Bricklink, I do not know how the Bricklink system
works when an order is paid. The seller contacted me after this and explained
that he had forgotten to include the shipping costs and would send an invoice
for them. Knowing that a store cannot send an invoice for an order that has already
been paid for, I sent back a message to the seller with a solution. I would place
another order on the following Monday, and he could then invoice me for that
order and the shipping costs to ship both orders in the same package. He agreed
to this and that following Monday I placed my second order at his store. When
I checked out, the final checkout screen had Batch 1 and Batch 2 on it. Even
though my 1st order had been paid for, both orders were included. He sent me
an invoice that included shipping and a credit for the amount of money I paid
on the first order minus the state taxes. I cannot pay for the order. The seller
has contacted the Help Desk to find a solution.
I would like to think that all he has to do is refund the money I paid, mark
the order as ready or packed and then he could send a new invoice similar to
how a store would manage an order that paid with an offsite payment where taxes
could not be remitted to Bricklink?

I haven't had to order anything online from TLG in a month or two and
placed an order for multiple copies of a set late Monday night. Much to my surprise
they arrived today. But the bigger surprise was that they shipped the GWP's
in separate boxes. Is this a fluke or did they listen to our complaints about
smaller sets getting crushed? Seems like the orders from early February were
all packed in to one box.

I have had several GWP ship separately but it mainly depends on the set you order.
Bigger sets tend to be stored in their own shipping box in the warehouse.

I agree with this statement. I' not sure if it has to do with the location
the sets are shipping from as well or if a specific distribution center has run
out of a set, but I've had it both ways.
