BrickLink Discussion Forum

Anyone else having an issue where you input your address at checkout and pay
with paypal and paypal sends the seller a completely different address? I have
had this happen on 4 different orders. Paypal fixed it the first time and the
next order a whole different random address was sent to the seller. this is causing
issues for sellers who have a policy that is to only ship to the paypal address.
I have had 2 packages end up at a bank in CT. It only seems to be happening when
I order things through bricklink.

PayPal Business verification

Viewed:

Topic:

I believe I made the wrong choice to set up a PayPal Business account rather
than a personal one. I set it up some years back with the plan to use it to market
family legos and such. I have used it for purchases for the last few years, but
never kept a balance. Now that I am (finally) selling, PayPal is wanting me to
submit business related documents that in my case (just reselling one-owner personal
items) just don't exist. If I don't plan to make this an ongoing thing
is there a workaround for the verification process (to avoid disruptions in my
store) or do I need to bite the bullet and set up a personal account and change
my store buying options?

I've had 2 buyers in the last few days report a problem when trying to make

I spoke to PayPal who said they can't see a problem at their end or my end,

Can order & shipping payment onsite be split?

Viewed:

82 times

Topic:

Whilst onsite payment is very good for payment methods it accepts, it does have
the issue regarding having all of the payment processed immediately.

Would it be possible to develop and implement a method whereby the payment for
the order and the payment for the shipping costs be split up?

This is for larger orders, and I believe this could be done through BrickLink's
PayPal Onsite method, an extra step to allow the seller time to compute and input
the shipping costs properly is what I'm concerned about.

This is basically a delayed payment for the shipping costs. It would help costs
from being incorrectly calculated. Not all items in the BrickLink catalog have
a weight, and something needs to be added to allow proper determination of shipping
costs, in my opinion.

There are features currently available that can help with this although PayPal
Onsite being an "instant" checkout option is not always the best option.
I'm not suggesting tax should be evaded, a simple and legitimate amount of
time for determination of the shipping costs by the seller is all that I'm
asking be implemented.

While this may seem like a suggestion the first step is to figure out if it can
be a suggestion.

What do the admins think? Can it be implemented? If not, why not?

Cheers ...

Hey everyone, I am a rather new seller and I ship worldwide. I have had orders

I have been searching for an exact percentage number for ages now but I literally

5%?. I know I can calculate them but I find it extremely weird that BrickLink
has "Partner" Fees and as a Seller I am not able to know how high these
actually are. Maybe I am just blind and can't find them but even in that

SO if that customer chooses manual invoice, and then then i invoice through bricklink,
can I make an invoice then through paypal directly and still integrate with Bricklink
for their tax collection or whatever?

Is this a bad idea? I never want to break TOS or circumvent BL.

Is Stripe available for Invoiced Orders?

Topic:

I have successfully opened a Stripe account.
And I have connected it to my BL account.
My shop is set up for onsite payments, but Invoice Only no IC.

But I cannot find a way to modify my invoices to allow for Stripe Payments.

BL does not allow sellers to modify the
PAYMENTTYPE or
PAYMENTINSTRUCTIONS macro tags, as far as I can see.

Also, I cannot view these details.

So, that brings me to these questions:

1. Is Stripe available for Invoiced Orders?
2. Do buyers get to choose which payment method to use or only shown the Paypal
option?

3. If a buyer DOES choose Stripe, how do I invoice for that?
4. Will BL automatically give both payment options to buyers on the invoice
using the PAY Button?

5. If the answers are negative for the previous questions, does that mean Stripe
is only available for Instant Checkout?

Thank You for any Helpful Answers.

Paypal - seller needs to complete order?

Viewed:

109 times

Topic:

We have an order that has been paid but pending for 8 days now - longer than
a e-check usually takes to clear. When we contacted the seller, they checked
Paypal and saw that they'd be charged once I complete the order. There were
a couple other posts I found on the forum from this month with similar phrasing.
The buyer has over 400 feedback with 100% positive; between that, the fact that
they waited for us to point out the delay, and the other posts that seem similar,
I see no reason to think this is some sort of scam.

On my end, Paypal simply says "order received" and lists the buyer's name,
a transaction ID, and the amount. There is also a link to upgrade to a business
account. I'm wondering if Paypal expects me to "upgrade" before completing
that order? Any idea what other options I have? I have no interest in getting
a business account.

Hey all,
just had a weird thing happen with an order: A guy ordered a minifigure, and
selected manual checkout. I got an order confirmation via email, but then immediately
afterwards also a copy of the invoice. That shouldn't have happened - because
with manual checkout I have to manually finish the the order and send the invoice,
right? (Rhetorical question: Yes, I do, I've done it before, the system was
working so far.)
On the invoice it does have all the fees that should be there in the instant
checkout option, but not with manual checkout.
Then the customer sent a request to cancel, which I accepted. And now the cancelled
order shows instant checkout was selected - which it wasn't, I have the order
confirmation in my inbox that says manual checkout was selected.
What is going on here?

I've been a seller on Bricklink for a long time and I've always used

I'm adding a lot more stock now, including parting out some sets, and I don't

to Paypal onsite or stay offsite or if it makes no difference at all.

Also, if you think I should switch to Paypal onsite are there any downsides to

When paying through paypal Onsite, choosing to pay in the original invoice currency,

and charge me in the credit cards currency. Transaction is completed successfully.
although with a bad exchange rate for me.
* bricklink external paypal (when offered), logged in to paypal, choosing to
pay in sellers currency. -- That's the proof that paypal CAN DO IT with
my credit card. It's DEFINITELY not my bank's problem!

As there seem to be more and more shops only offering Onsite payment, is the
denial to let me pay in sellers currency another paypal scam? Anybody knows more
about my problem with Onsite and original currency?

Regards, Leo

So this is something that always intrigued me and came back now as very relevant.
I selected PayPal OnSite as payment method. I have more than enough in my PayPal

I'd rather not deal with credit card limits and those things if I have the
money in my PayPal account. I couldn't find anything about it anywhere. Isn't
that an option? And if not, why?

Stripe: cash back

Viewed:

118 times

Topic:

Hi guys,

I've received my first cash back from Stripe and was wondering what your
experiences were with that.
A customer ordered a Star Wars Millenium Falcon UCS with automated check out.
Payment received by stripe. We have some communication back and forth both by
direct mail and Bricklink Mail. He orders also a UCS AT-AT in a second order,
also payment by Stripe.

The orders were correctly delivered last week although he hasn't changed
the delivery status on the Bricklink Order.
Now, today I received a cashback request from his bank for the first order. I'm
alarmed but thinking he might be confused, so I contact him directly. This time
the mail account is closed.

Stripe offers support in how to reply to the cashback in order to convince the
bank that it isn't a fraud. Luckily, I'm well documented. However, the
money will be withdrawn from my account and the bank can take up to 3 months
to review my evidence before deciding.

Of course, I'm aware of scammers on the open marketplaces, but I always thought
this platform was a well protected one. Star Wars UCS sets are not cheap as you
know. I'm wondering what your experiences are with this sort of things and
if Bricklink itself offers any support on this.

Thanks for your comments.

Regarding Paypal

Hey

I wonder if someone else have problems with Paypal.

I am a new seller on BrickLinks and just a couple weeks ago started to take orders
from other EU countries. When I got my first order and payment by paypal, it
almost locked my paypal account. I had to deliver alot of information to them
to get my money.

- A picture of my ID
- A copy of the invoice
- A picture of the Lego I sold
- A copy of the receipt of the payment of delivery
- A copy of receipt/invoice where i purchased my lego
- And I had to explain for them why I sold Lego
(I think there was something more I had to provide to them)

Ok after this i could finally transfer the money to my bank account.

The second payment worked just fine

The third payment was placed on hold (reserved money) for 21 days. They told
me to give them the tracknumber of package and what service I used. Didnt work,
money is still on hold.

The fourth payment is again on hold.

Does anyone else have these problems with PayPal? has anyone solved all and actually
have Paypal workin just fine?

I need advice

Stripe Requires LEGO Copyright Authorisation

Hi all,
I set up a Stripe account and a buyer made a purchase using the Stripe payment
method - no issues, I received payment confirmation and the order was sent. A
few days after, Stripe emailed stating payouts are paused on my account for the
following reason:

"We noticed that you're selling popular branded goods and/or copyrighted
content in your store. We're writing to request documentation that you're
authorized to sell these products. Unfortunately, we need to pause payouts to
your bank account until we can verify this".

I contacted Stripe support, and received the following advice during the chat
support:

"To be in line with our Terms of Service (Service Agreement) we need any sellers
of branded items like Marvel, Disney, Nintendo, designer brands, etc to provide
us with documented proof from those brands to sell their goods."

I immediately cancelled Stripe as a store payment option, have refunded the buyer
in full and arranged alternative payment. I have no intention of providing Stripe
any such information, but just wondering how other sellers have dealt with this
in the past?

Thanks for any insight!

Stripe for different payment methods

Viewed:

83 times

Topic:

It's probably a topic that has been raised on a number of occassions already,
but it's still a topic nevertheless.

Where a seller can add multiple payment methods, Stripe is only shown to the
buyer as Credit/Debit card, while they offer many other payment options, such
as iDeal, Sofort, Giropay, Przelewy24, Bankgiro etc.
Selecting Credit/Debit card is using Stripe, but doesn't show the different
options.

It would be nice if the customer could see the name of their preferred payment
method.

One suggestion would be to add stripe a second time, with the option for the
buyer to provide some information on that payment method.

Hi All! I'm logging my sales and just noticed an abnormally high Paypal

Ultimately, the few cents on this transaction won't make much of a difference,

I've included my payments set up. I'm only accepting USD, only shipping
to US (not pictured), but am allowing international purchases based on the screenshot.
Will those international purchases, even if USD, get the higher fee?

Sellers not using on site payment, why?

Viewed:

253 times

Topic:

I thought bricklink had started using onsite payment for all sellers.
I remember reading a thread, where a seller's buyers were getting messages
indicating he did not ship to that country, and the fix was to turn on onsite
payment.

I filled a cart, and went to check out, and saw that postage had been calculated.
The postage calculation was such that I did have to remove stuff from my cart
to meet the package size required for checkout. With everything so tediously
calculated, I fully expected auto-checkout. But instead it said I would get
an invoice. At that point I was fine with it, as long as the invoice would show
the same (or very close to the same) total cost. Then I get the invoice, and
the shipping cost is the same. So I look for the link to pay the invoice, but
it isn't on the invoice. Instead there are instructions telling me to use
paypal and to use the Paypal as friend option.

Funding methods for Stripe (and PayPal)

Viewed:

71 times

Topic:

Both Stripe and PayPal offer a variety of funding sources for payments. Each
site that implements Stripe/PayPal can enable the ones they feel are best suited.
Pretty much all sites enable credit/debit cards.

Stripe calls these "bank redirects" (e.g. IDEAL, giropay, Sofort, etc).

An alternate site that some of us sell on, supports many of the EU bank redirects.
A seller would then elect to receive payments using those.

Does BrickLink support any of the payment funding sources other than credit/debit
cards (on Stripe or PayPal) ?

Can't Change Payment Status On Order

Viewed:

76 times

Topic:

Quick question: I remember in the past, sellers were able to change the payment
status manually if a payment came through in a different way than the buyer originally
selected. However, this seems to be no longer the case.

I have an order (from mid-December) where the buyer selected Paypal Onsite as
the payment method, but they ended up paying directly via Paypal (at least I
think this is what happened). Because BL didn't recognize the payment coming
through, the Payment Status column still shows as "None", and I can't change
it. This also means that I can't show the item as shipped, and I can't
file the order away either.

I was able to add the tracking number, the order has been delivered, BL fees
have been charged, so there are no issues on any of those fronts. However, because
I can't change any of the settings, it seems like my only option is to wait
six months until the order naturally falls off my dashboard.

Is there a way I can mark this order as paid and shipped, and file the order
away?

Thanks for any help with this, and Happy New Year!
