I don't care where I send the item and I don't care if a dropshipper
orders from me. I just think it's lame when they dissemble and claim they're
sending a gift.

I understand where you are coming from, but to a certain point there is no need
for going into major detail about one's life or need to share. There's
no need to say "I'm at my parents after dad passed away, my brother and
I are trying to complete a set that has sentimental value." , "it's
a gift" should suffice.

The conversion rates are just fine. Both listings are correctly converted. To

I believe it's allowed, one wishes that buyers would be a bit more honest
though.

But a nothing says a dropshipper couldn't order from bricklink. Besides there
are tons of different reasons to ship to a different address: a gift, item you
were short on, completing a transaction, trades how and shipping to hotel, business
partner, relative that doesn't like the internet, friend that doesn't

Yes, to be clear a BrickLink seller can't dropship since BL sellers can only
list what they actually have in inventory (maybe an exception can be made for
inventory mistakes, etc.). But there isn't anything stopping people from
listing on e.g., eBay, and then dropshipping from BL.

You can't list items you don't own, but that is in the sellers control.
1.2.8 Exact quantity: The quantity of the item that you are listing for sale
must not be greater than the quantity you have physical possession of in the
country in which your BrickLink store is registered. Drop shipping is not permitted.
The only exception to this is a custom fan magazine that has to be pre-ordered
and the Buyer is made aware of this in the item description.
But a nothing says a dropshipper couldn't order from bricklink. Besides there

How much data space would it take to have two catalogs? One for detailed data
and one for generalized marketplace?
|
The problem isn’t space, it’s consistency and workload.
Basically, you’re doubling the workload.
If you make a change in one of the catalogues, should it be echoed on the other
one? To which extent? Can that be automatized?
In the software world, that’s called a fork (external / by another team) or a
branch (internal / by the same team).
We have tools and procedures to follow and “port” (transfer, apply) changes between
branches / versions / forks (‘diffs’ and ‘patches’ and ‘version control system’
(git, bitkeeper, mercurial…)).
And those tools are good and ‘smart.’ They can work around other changes and
differences that shouldn’t change (and (good) devs are lazy: everything that
can be automatized is automatized).
But we ALWAYS need to check the changes. The changes may apply without a hitch…
but they may break the program because they contradict an older change. That
can also be automatized, to some extent. But it’s work again and you can never
predict everything so you always need to check.
Duplicating a database and the changes on the database can be automitized in
the same way: changes are just instructions, like a program. So the same porting
solutions & problems apply: Should that change be applied? Can it be applied?
Should another change be applied instead? And you always need to check, check,
check.
Also, you first need to record these instructions. AFAIK, BrickLink’s changelogs
aren’t complete / sufficient.
TL;DR: It’s the same as the work done by Rebrickable: another catalogue, with
conversion tables, with changes to follow / apply or not, with errors or misses…,
and with a full team to manage it.
It could be a bit simpler and you could save a bit by keeping it inside BrickLink,
but that won’t remove most of the work needed.
Another possibility is to handle that in only one “catalogue,” with two (or more!)
different ways to present its info. The work would be done only once, in the
more detailed catalogue, and there would be mechanisms to hide the details to
the users. But that’s the same as the “umbrella part” solution: you need to
change the whole structure of the database and the way the site works. That
can’t be patched onto what exists now (which is already patched enough with spaghetti
and sauce as it is).

Hi,
To part out a set: hover over the white, heart-shaped “Want” icon and click “Part
Out”: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/wanted/partout.page
But you can’t “apply” a Wanted List (or an inventory) to another one on BrickLink,
to remove the parts you already have. You need to use third-party tools, like
BrickStore (application) or Rebrickable (website).

Ah ha! On the alternate build shown on the instructions, we can see a 3rd arch

So, according to the rules, at least these two should be Regular 🤔

And there’s already three LG plates (a 1x10, a 2x2, and a 2x10) in Regular that
are not needed for the main build and that are not visible on the alternate.

In Canada we have an email transfer service through our banks where we can send

Interac eTransfer doesn't send money via email. It uses the wire transfer

hinzu zu fügen.
Vielleicht sollte dieser kleine Zusatz hier bei BL eingeführt werde...

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"”
|
Yes, that`s my opinion, too!
(We both didn`t dealed before, no reason to complain anything with you)
Thank you for your help, I never seen a def. like this here at BL, before...Kind

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"”
|
Yes, that`s my opinion, too!
(We both didn`t dealed before, no reason to complain anything with you)
Thank you for your help, I never seen a def. like this here at BL, before...Kind
regards, Norilyn.Berlin

Yes.
| | 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...

That had nothing to do with the catalog administrators.

But the easiest explanation is that the buyer simply forgot to use "Leave

"Royal mail" which then waits for its payment onsite?
What's the current shipping method for the 1st order?

was thinking the same thing, perhaps the buyer chose a different shipping option
which then prevented it from combining

The orders were from a UK buyer to my UK store and for a few low value items
well below £150 so I don’t believe it to be VAT related.
As the seller I didn’t change the status at all. I’m confused and the buyer is
confused why when the buyer added the 3rd batch it didn’t go into the open order
but created a new order.

Updated is normal, because the buyer "updated" the order when adding
a 2nd batch.
And anyway, Updated isn't a "closing" status unlike: Paid, Packed,
Shipped, Received or Completed (of course).
Again, I've never seen a glitch from BrickLink on adding to an order. There's
some logical reason.
It could also be due to some limitation in weight, size, min, max or such in
your available Shipping Methods?

| | Hi -
There's nothing to do to allow an open order.
ANY shipping method that doesn't involve instant payment or any order which
isn't paid leaves by default the order opened (if the seller doesn't
change the status to Paid, Packed)...
There's no glitch I'm aware of.
But this may happen if there's a change of tax, like VAT.
If a buyer outside UK places an order for less than 150€, VAT will be charged
to him.
If he adds more and the order is now over 150€ then the first order may be automatically
"closed" because the VAT treatment would be different.
I'm not 100% sure of this, but I guess it could be the problem.
In your case, no, you can't "merge" or add to any order (luckily
for buyers).
If buyer didn't pay anything and it's not complicated, maybe cancel 1
or both orders and ask the buyer to place a first batch of MORE than 150€? After
this, he can leave and add to the order as long as he wishes.
Please be sure buyer's aware he'll have to pay for VAT (around 20% in
EU) - as some may not be aware and could refuse the parcel delivery - return
being at your cost

| | 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.

Okay, I get it, Norwegian Krone Euro conversions have been somewhat wonky for
reasons outside the sphere of influence of BL and third party, and beyond whatever
site issue there might also be.
