There are a handful of times I questioned the price at which someone purchased
something from me. They seemed lower than what I would have wanted. You can't
get that data after the fact, but what you can do for future instances, is mark
everything in your inventory to "retain items after being sold out" (or
whatever it's called). It's in your inventory page at the bottom. This
will preserve that item with a zero quantity in your stock room at the original
price.
Turns out my issue was inadvertently having items on sale (like I put all black
and orange items on 50% sale when the Bengals went to the Super Bowl, but I didn't
realize that included my Darth Vaders. So I sold out of nearly all of them in
a day.) or when I would upload a new parted out set using the NEW price, not
realizing that the newly updated prices were 15% lower than a year prior.

It's way more likely you fat fingered a typo on the price than a glitch.

There is nowhere to confirm, other than the order. I'm not saying a glitch
is impossible, but there is no normal, intended way for a customer to buy something
at a lower price than you listed. The most likely scenario is that you entered
a different number than you intended.

| Hello,
I would need some helo please.
Is there by chance a possibility to change more remarks in the store inventory
at once?
For example, the remark "box 1" (50 lots) needs to become "box 100".
So I am not willing to change one by one these 50 remarks. This will take me
ages to do so for the whole inventory (nearly 19k lots)...
Can I change the 50x remark "box 1" to "box 100" at once?

First thing: buy from another seller to get positive feedback (all feedback is
transactional on BrickLink). Once you have a positive feedback you can convert
your account to a seller account.
Then you'll be asked to submit documents for verification.

As others have said, magazine promotions. They switched over to paper bags in
2022.
Germans and Poles seem to have the most.
I suspect there are a few sellers who have the hookup to where they buy up all
the unsold magazines (or raid a dumpster/pay a worker where they are being thrown
away) for the minifigs.
They could be buying retail, but I find it hard to believe they are picking up
1000 of the same set by visiting stores and paying retail price.
In the US, LEGO has produced promotional figures that come with DVD/Blu-ray (LEGO
movie, superheroes), and I have recently seen small children's books that
include a minifigure at Dollar General.

Magazines; and they're not cheap (at least not in Canada).

Yep - they appear to be primarily available in Europe for some unknown (I presume
licensing) reason.
Nowadays the foil packs are actually paper though. The mags themselves can be
picked up in most newsagents and supermarkets in the UK for around £5. Themes
include Batman, Star Wars Jurassic World, Ninjago, City etc.

Hi,
The problem would be a old part number (due to a renaming or a merge)… and there’s
no way to correct that on the website
I think BrickStore could be able to automatically correct your XML file… or at
least it’ll have a simple and easy to use interface to find the correct part.

Open an NSS (Non-Shipping Seller) and, if you paid via PayPal, start a PayPal
case.
I think it's unlikely that you actually got scammed, but the seller is still
responsible for the package getting to the buyer.

We have plenty of magazines with that in France, I believe in complete Europe.
Lots of little City, Star Wars, Ninjago, Legends of Chima, Friends, Elves, Technic...
polybags
It's almost always cheaper to buy the complete magazine instead of just buying

Try some dawn dish soap. Sometimes it doesn't work and I use the edge of

As Nubs is showing you, or the old school method by adding a comma followed by
the desired color ID number onto the part number within the brackets, as I do.

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
want the hassle to setup a bl account.
|
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.
|
Yes exactly this ^
Bricklink doesn't want people selling what they don't have to hand here
because that can create a bad buyer experience. However it will be of little
concern to Bricklink if the buyer is shopping from another platform and the goods
are drop shipping from Bricklink
|
The only time we step in is if the dropshipper is a professional buyer and starts
giving sellers a hard time about orders that didn't go well. Otherwise, we
tolerate them - because a lot of our sellers appreciate the business.
|
Yes personally I'm happy to take orders from drop shippers but for my own
sales I prefer to hold the inventory else things can get messy with sourcing
as well as jeopardizing own feedback when relying too heavily on the service
and accuracy of others

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.
|
Yes exactly this ^
Bricklink doesn't want people selling what they don't have to hand here
because that can create a bad buyer experience. However it will be of little
concern to Bricklink if the buyer is shopping from another platform and the goods
are drop shipping from Bricklink
|
The only time we step in is if the dropshipper is a professional buyer and starts
giving sellers a hard time about orders that didn't go well. Otherwise, we
tolerate them - because a lot of our sellers appreciate the business.

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
want the hassle to setup a bl account.

Yes, it is allowed. If it is a dropshipper, you may get a nice repeat customer.
Also, just because the buyer's info is different doesn't automatically
make it a dropship. It could be a seller short of parts on an order who wants
you to ship the missing parts directly to their customer.

To be clear I'm not asking for anyone to share anything.

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.

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.
