  Nearly all of my orders are paid in a different currency to my listed prices
as they are in US$ and I am a UK seller. Mainly GBP but I accept many currencies.
The only price difference I have received different the invoice was for Japanese
Yen. I expected this as (I believe) they cannot pay the .xx part of the amount
but must round up (or down?).

If you are setting your own currency rather than using XE.com then this could
account for the difference. Especially as the markets are so volatile just now
due to Brexit.

Just out of curiosity, what is the advantage of listing your inventory in US
dollars instead of your own default currency, especially sense most of your orders
are from your home country?

  So I saw this morning that the inventory was done for the Brick Bank (thanks,
Jennifer!) and I just went through the chore of parting out my extra pieces from
the set, something that I've done early in January for several years. There
are a lot of extra pieces in the set and a lot of non-extras to sort through
while parting out and it just occurred to me that probably a lot of people are
going through that same chore. Wouldn't it be nice to have an option to
just part out your extras from a set?

An easy way to accomplish the same thing can be done pretty simply using BrickStock.
All you have to do is import the set in question and you will notice that on
the left side of the inventory there is a column that shows what the different
pieces are. The standard parts are represented by a check mark, the extra pieces
are represented by a plus sign and the counter parts are represented by the letters
CP. Just delete all the parts with out the check mark and you will now have the
extra pieces left ready for upload into your inventory.

  There are a lot people out there, it seems, that want sellers to commit customs
fraud.

Would it be a good idea if BL included " Buyer requested customs fraud " in the
reasons for seller to cancel an order?

Not allowing said alledged fraudster to feedback the seller would prevent retaliatory
actions from the buyer would also be nice in this instance

Great idea, but Bricklink will not change. They do not care and they do not
have the sellers back on this one. They should try to help the seller as a seller
has enough to do.

Have they personally told you or someone you know that they dont care or is this
simply an assumption based on your the fact that they dont stop it from hapening?
If the latter is true then your statement is based more on your feelings and
NOT FACTS.

Set a limit for a max of $50.00 per item in their store for new stores with 0
to 20 FB's of just selling (the 20 FB's would not include FB's for
buying scene they could place several small orders to build up their FB). This
would be in place for their first 20 orders unless they agree to use an escrow
account set up by BrickLink. If they agree to an escrow account then no limits
or at least higher limits like $500.- to $1500.-.

If they cant wait a week or two to get there money on a high dollar set, well
then, that in itself says something about their character and at that point either
they sell lower dollar items or just not sell here at all.

Personally, I think it would be good for all new sellers to have to use an escrow
account set up by BL.

  Here:

  Is there a way to check 'known colors' anymore? I used that a lot.

I dont understand? Like mentioned above, there is a color tab that shows the
available known colors. Or is this problem related with the glitch talked about
above where there were no tabs available so you cant choose the colors tab (I
know I can see the tabs)?
