A buyer bought and paid for an item a week ago and the PayPal payment is still
pending as they used an invalid card(out of date) It seems they can’t pay using
another card as blink is telling them it’s already paid for. I don’t have the
option to cancel the order and it seems the buyer doesn’t either. I don’t want
to refund as I’ve not received any payment. Blink sees the order as no problem..this
is so frustrating.

If it is a UK buyer, you could ask them to pay direct through PayPal rather than
onsite PayPal.

Has anyone else had problems with the H Potter tags in Dimensions? I have now
purchased 3 from different sellers and none have worked. Is this a known issue?
Is there a fix?

I found this: https://www.trueachievements.com/forum/viewthread.aspx?tid=1304306&anchor=9951158#m9951158

Basically, it says to use your phone to read the tag, and they might somehow
fix it. I have never personally had any issues with any of my dimensions tags.

Good Luck,

I am on phone with Paypal currently. They are aware of the issue. It may be
a few days before it is fully up and running again. Being a 3rd party, Shipstation
still does not have customer support but they are looking into it.

As none have chimed-in: Printed a label via PayPal's ShipStation extension
this morning, around 500 PST, without issue.

What "problems" more specifically?

Stellar is correct, we just relisted them, price moved slightly. I did not have
them duplicate, I try to not have any duplicate lots, I just checked and almost
the only ones I have are due to the variant merge, which we will have to manually
consolidate in our store to fix.

Sent them an email on parallel.

That could be anything! Maybe send them a picture of a clear sack full of them
on a see-saw with a small child balancing the weight for proof of quantity.

Oh, no, this is just the email that I sent them for proof arriving, individual
pictures of each piece!

That would lead to a host o other issues.

I have a feeling this happens too often due to a competitor filing frivolous
complaints, and then BL not doing it's due diligence in following up.

I do as well, and it is compounded by BL's response time or lack of a response.

I don't agree, as if so, nobody would complain anymore including for very
legitimate reasons

It wasn't me! And it can be any new member 0 FB seeing huge numbers thinking

Hello, twice now some lots from my store have been deleted. This is now messing
up with our inventory management and orders. Reason is absurd: Item is not for
sale but for other purposes (frivolous listing).

I understand that the price is above average at the moment, but so are the prices
of every item in our store.

Does Bricklink think we do not have these in stock?

Below is the communication.

Can anyone provide a reason that I might be missing, or a way to ensure that
this does not happen again?

Thank you,

When I get parts I might list them at separate prices in different lots because
I paid different prices for those parts. I guess I could add all the parts up
and divide the average price to create one lot? Just because I'm working
with 10 pieces and not 1,000,000 does it matter? Am I in the right ballpark or
am I missing something?

I notice you still have these item listed in your store with similar high quantities
but slightly different prices so I'm thinking it could be that Bricklink
doesn't like you duplicating such high quantity listings possibly for two
reasons:-

A) If you search for those items by highest quantity you would appear multiple
times at the very top thereby it could be deemed as listing manipulation and
at the detriment to other sellers who also have high quantities of these parts
but end up pushed further down the list

B) Just one of those listings has enough quantity in itself before anyone would
ever need to purchase from your other duplicate listings and therefore Bricklink
may be deeming this listing practice as unnecessary and clogging up the catalog
I have a feeling it may be different if you were listing duplicate times for
much smaller quantities with these varying prices as these will sell out within
a much more reasonable timeframe and have more purpose

I could be wrong but those are the reasons I take from it....

I think what happened here is retaliation from another store in Spain that had
thousands of items like pins and plates 1x1 for 0.40€ each to grow their parts
count from 800.000 to 1.600.000

I know the owner of Brikomania and they sure have that inventory.

I don't know why your items were removed. However terms are misleading. The
first line in big text says: No PayPal fees and no lot limits/minimum buy.

Yet you have a minimum buy price, a lot limit and a minimum average lot price.

Thank you for the note, the terms had not been updated in a long time.
