If a seller offers the Quote button then they presumably have to respond, but
otherwise (such as contacting them via BL messaging) there is no responsibility

A seller does not have to respond. If they do, the quote is good for 3 days.

All too many sellers offer no clear pricing for shipping, and I'm not about
to get snookered into paying 30%+ for shipping. In addition, most sellers don't
have a Quote option. This seems quite anti-consumer.

This is because most quotes don't result in a sale, which is a waste of the
seller's time.

66% of quotes I provide are accepted. I like this system and I don't think
it is a waste of time. I think that is because the buyer actually fills out a
cart.

Of the remaining 33% that are not accepted, a good number are cancelled because
parts were purchased by someone else.

Since the start of 2024 I have only received 9 quotes but 6 of these were accepted
and therefore I think you underestimate the value in Bricklink properly incorporating
quotes. I expect the number of quotes I and others receive would be a lot higher
if all those that offered quotes were at the very least expected to respond and
Bricklink could ensure that happens by making their stock held up until they
do so!
The reason buyers don't request quotes as much as they otherwise would do
is partly because the option is hidden away within the checkout process which
is confusing to most buyers but more importantly because they are unable to secure
the items they want with any confidence since it only takes one item to become
out of stock to invalidate the whole quote and a sellers slow action to respond
isn't helpful in that regards! Being able to secure/hold stock would resolve
this issue

In truth I really don't understand why no attention has been given to a proper
quote system that is useful and works?, I honestly believe Bricklink and a lot
of sellers here are very short sighted because those buyers that often feel the
need to put together a quote are quite often those that intend to place larger
orders where a little bit of extra thought is required and yet bricklink only
seems to be interested in encouraging its sellers to use methods that force customers
to make spontaneous instant checkout purchase/decisions! but this site is not
Amazon, Most orders are complex and made up of multiple items!

The way I see it is that sellers are here to serve buyers, Not the other way
round. When a seller chooses to give a buyer the option of requesting a quote
that quote needs to remain valid with stock held right up until 24 hours after
quoting else the quote is of little use to anyone!
If sellers are unhappy with having any of their stock held up during the quote
process then it would be better for everyone if they disabled the quote option
and just stuck to instant checkout!

Thanks to be honest!
You've got a pretty quick and sane reaction, that's VERY fine, congratulations!

Remember to check if you used this pass somewhere else, and then change it there...

I did a download of my inventory with BrickStore to compare totals. This is what
I found: the total number of items (parts) is off by 4 and the dollar amount
is off by $2.56. This is possibly due to a couple of lots that I have retained
that are not zeroed out. I also looked at the "newest items" to see
if any were added, which I can confirm nothing was added. I also verified the
lot totals were correct (main store and stock rooms).

Yes, also some parts may be in the 10 min checkout "reservation" and/or
minor glitches.
As you said a $2 discrepency (I'm sure you can explain later on) isn't
a problem.

I strongly suggest every seller download BrickStore and performing a back up,
especially each day, or after sales. I usually do one a day.

Absolutely - I repeat it like every week in forum, but hey?

And/or, at the MINIMUM download your Inventory in XML, as BrickStore can open
it later on:
https://www.bricklink.com/invExcel.asp

Hopefully BrickLink will post a banner on the main page to warn EVERY user about
this.

Yep, but for this we'd need an internal Notification system...
That is VERY needed in fact and IMO.

Chrome Extension for Listing Faster?

Hi,
I am reopening my store after a few years, and while I was listing inventory
again, I noticed that the listing process is a bit cumbersome. I have lots of
experience in software development now, and I am building a chrome extension
to make listing as fast as possible. Some features I will be including are:

You will navigate in the Bricklink catalog to an item. Click the "Add to
Inventory" link, which will open the extension's popup

The popup will have a single form that will list all the colors available for
the selected catalog item with 6 month average sales prices and an input for
quantity. This will allow you to add all colors of the part all at once.

Once submitted, the item will be added to store inventory in all colors with
a quantity above 0, at the 6 month average sales price.

Later I can add more customizability features.

Bricklink blocks requests from their own address with the CORS policy, so I will
have to build a Proxy api with a database to manage API keys.

Because the proxy makes things more complicated, I think I will use React.js
to build the interface in the popup. I would have a settings page where users
can add/update api keys. this page would be password protected with JWT.

Voice your inputs. I think this would be a welcome feature for sellers to increase
profitability, I am interested if other sellers think the same, or what features
they think would be bennificial.

I had a couple of these this in my inbox this morning. They looked completely
legitimate. I did login in to BL from my work computer yesterday. When I have
logged in from work before, I have never gotten an email like this, but I thought
that maybe it was a new security feature.

Anyway, with a very official looking email in hand, I clicked the suggested logout
from all devices link and had just about entered my credentials in the new window
to log back in when I noticed two minor things that seemed just a bit off. I
won’t mention those things in case the fraudsters are reading. I looked at the
URL and it was very close to BrickLink’s (it was not the .net one that was mentioned
before). Needless to say, I immediately changed my PW and reenabled the one-time
PIN (I had turned it off because I was being repeatedly prompted for a new PIN
over very short time spans even when I hadn’t logged out). I’ll also be downloading
my inventory

BE DILIGENT! I’m a pretty suspicious person when it comes to online activity,
but, in my groggy state when I woke up this morning, I almost fell for a phishing
scheme presented as a very authentic looking email.

I don’t know why BrickLink has suddenly become such a juicy target. These people
have no hope of accessing any of my monetary accounts. I assume the goal is
to gain access to a legitimate shop so they can list high-dollar items to scam
other members.

I don’t envy the task that management has ahead of them, but they need to take
some substantive action soon. This is not a primary income stream for me, so
at some point, when all the gummy spam, phishing attempts, and slow helpdesk
response times become too much, I may simply close my store for a while. I don’t
need the extra headache of worrying about online security for a part-time job.
Had I fallen victim to this phishing attempt, I’m really not sure how much effort
I would have put into trying to recover my account. BrickLink just feels like
a dicier selling proposition lately.

I noticed that the studio terms say that you can’t post creations of sets released

No piggybacking on Intellectual Property (IP) that is not your own – This includes
using brand names, trademarks, and reference numbers in the title, description,

you do not own is used in this way, your design may be set to Display mode by

Also it says no brand names yet on the published studio creations I see dozens
of brand name cars, and movie based creations.

There are many ways to get e-mail addresses, specific ones or in bulk lists.

Ex: a buyer 3 years ago could have his PC infected by a trojan or a virus which
will parse all his local e-mails and send the addresses From/To etc.

Or another site you registered which had its database hacked.

Or often, while simply Googling the web.

And zillion other ways, most of them not being related to BrickLink.

This is probably a dumb question, but how do you know that the email is fake?

by looking at who sent it and hovering over the button to see where the link
goes. if the email doesn't end with exactly "@bricklink.com" then
its not from bricklink and if the link goes to anywhere that isn't"bricklink.com"
then its likely not real (baring rare interview like emails)

In truth even when I know its from Bricklink such as a Pay my fee reminder I
always try to avoid following links within emails as people can do clever things
with making a recipient address look legitimate besides which, if you routinely
follow links via emails you only increase your chances of being exposed to any
risks
Where possible I prefer to Login from scratch to Bricklink(or any Other site)
and seek out whatever it is they are asking me to do from there, be that paying

As someone not in any LEGO groups (or at least not using my BL email address),
and am still getting the scam emails, I am certain it related to either the hack
or fake contact/orders on BL that can harvest seller emails. Had a lot of these
orders, immediate cancel request, and no contact there after a few months back.
I know it was to phish my seller info as often as the pattern was repeated exactly.
But even messages we reply to can do this as the system still lonks our email
to those. It really should not do this unless an order is placed, or even confirmed
as paid by the system (instant or seller marked). Simply put, contact info should
remain better protected until a transaction is deemed legit. BL is largely an
open book for all seller info if the party wanting to phish it knows how the
site works.

Waltzking

Is there any need at all for buyers/sellers to see each other's email contact
info even on legitimate orders? Maybe I've been using instant checkout and
the pay now button for so long I have forgotton, but it has been a while since
a buyer has made a payment directly to my email address. Since BrickLink implemented
sales tax collection, all (at least all of my) payments are negotiated through
PayPal Marketplace.

Maybe other payment methods require an email address.

I know some people send photos via email (if only we could attach photos to a
BL message!).

I'd be perfectly happy to have "public-facing email address" be an
option that I can enable/disable at will.

Indeed, there is very little reason it needs to be shared at all. eBay and Amazon
(and other sites too) never share seller address with a buyer, and especially
not their emails. Email addresses can be handy at times (pics, custom instruction
files, etc.), but should be a voluntary thing to give, not granted without our
active consent to each case. It is a BIG security issue (and one I've brought
up to support numerous times) and what leads to all the recent spam and phishing.
If such non-imperative info was hidden, there would be no way to harvest it
for these attacks, baring an actual database hack. Sadly it all seems to fall
on def ears with the community suffering the consequences.

Interesting theory. But the scammers that caused the November 3 incident are
the same ones that caused the problems last night, and the variant merge project
was not exposed to the public before January 2024.

As much as companies tend not to boast about the number of online attacks they
receive, we do see a remarkable increase in scammer activity across the board
- throughout many companies and across different industries. To us, it does not
feel like BrickLink is being singled out.

Does there happen to be a plan in the works to stop this activity?

Yes. In fact, most of what is being done to prevent this type of fraud is being
done behind the scenes, and BrickLink members are not aware that it is happening.

Makes sense. That being the case however, would not this suggestion slide perfectly

Also, note that the quote can be cancelled automatically, if the items are bought

Depends. If the seller is proposing Instant Checkout (⚡), you know the price
before committing to the order (because ordering and payment are linked, so if
you don’t pay, there’s no order).
Otherwise, indeed, it’s not very consumer-friendly.

Either do a search with an * after the part number to search for the combined

On the right side of the listing, it shows “Item Appears In”. It will show the

The parts listing is the combined items.

In your example, the glass only appears as two “parts”. Neither of which is the

BE DILIGENT! I’m a pretty suspicious person when it comes to online activity,
but, in my groggy state when I woke up this morning, I almost fell for a phishing
scheme presented as a very authentic looking email.

There are a couple of takeaways from that ... first, steer away from the need
to reply IMMEDIATELY to anything you see prior to your first cup of java, tea,
or whatever. Second, do not trust any link that comes in an email, unless a site
is sending you a validation link, has told you it was just sent, and you just
received it. Everything else, including smishing attempts within SMS texts should
be considered suspect dangerous, and unreliable.

The whole paradigm of social engineering attacks is to make you react without
thinking it all the way thru. Take the slow paranoid path, log into the site
using a known good bookmark, and ignore any links that come via dangerous paths
(no matter how real they appear).

Meanwhile, I came here to point out that LEGO themselves sent me too many parts

let them know for their own inventory purposes.

That feels like a stretch. The people that tend to get upset about some of BL’s
unpopular decisions (myself included) get upset because they love BrickLink.
I’d have trouble believing that one of those people would put in the time and
effort required to launch a phishing scheme that damages the thing they love
and at the same time subjects their fellow members to the collateral damage.

I’m not active in any online groups.

I checked earlier, the .net site is about two months old and the bricklink-com.co
just two weeks. Whether it is linked to merges, I don't know. Haven't
some people mentioned high value sets being added? That suggests financial fraud
rather than just messing about.

I see no reason not to accept this change at this point. The part color and sticker

Actually, there are no instructions for this set, so the only thing that shows
stickers is the packaging and set images. On that packaging and in the set images,
it shows the small heart sticker with crown used on the bed, not the large heart
sticker with crown. Therefore, this part should be marked for deletion since
there is no basis for it having an entry. Basically, the stickers in this set
were meant to be used however the builder saw fit to use them.

Cheers,
Randy

Oh, there are two heart stickers? I didn't realize because the photo of the
sticker sheet is of an incomplete sheet with that large sticker missing. Thanks
for noticing.

/Jan

The sticker sheet should probably be marked for deletion.
How did a sheet missing stickers get past the admins?

There is no need to mark a sticker sheet entry for deletion unless it always
had more than one version listed under one entry and needs to be split. All of
the information necessary to list a sticker sheet properly is in the item name.

Some sticker sheets are not easy to get ahold of to get a new image, so the catalog
uses what image it can get. There have been a number of sticker sheets in the
catalog over time that did not have complete sticker sheets in the image or no
image at all, but quite a few have been replaced or added over time. Maybe one
day, this one will, too.

Cheers,
Randy

I don’t envy the task that management has ahead of them, but they need to take

But what kind of “substantive action” can BrickLink take?

I don’t know, that’s above my pay grade. It’s not my job to solve the problems
of a billion dollar multinational company, but I have trouble accepting that
LEGO is powerless to do anything. As others have pointed out, this level of
insecurity in simply not found to this degree in other online arenas: not in
any of my online banking or investment portals, not in any medical billing portals,
not in any government/tax portals, not in other online marketplaces I use, not
even at LEGO.com. BrickLink stands out as a site that is starting to make me
a little nervous.

I understand the gummy spam is probably a low security concern, but it should
represent a HUGE image concern. If our brick-and-mortar business had hawkers
out front all day handing out flyers to our customers, I’d be derelict in my
duties if I wasn’t chasing them off and taking steps to make sure they didn’t
return. If I couldn’t even do that much, how much faith should our customers
have that we would address more serious concerns? It really looks like BL management
simply does not care about a public-facing piece of their website.

(litany of excuses)

I do know that, at my primary business, if our customers were being inundated
with spam and fishing attempts, we’d have a lot of angry customers and that would
result in a lot of bad word of mouth around the community if we didn’t figure
out a way to rectify the situation quickly. Worse yet, if one of our employee’s
response was a bunch of excuses followed up with, “eh, what do want us to do?
You need to look out for yourself!” that employee would probably be fired and
we’d be in serious danger of going out of business.

Sell it as a bulk unsorted lot, under custom items.

Anyway, with a very official looking email in hand, I clicked the suggested logout
from all devices link and had just about entered my credentials in the new window
to log back in when I noticed two minor things that seemed just a bit off. I
won’t mention those things in case the fraudsters are reading. I looked at the
URL and it was very close to BrickLink’s (it was not the .net one that was mentioned
before). Needless to say, I immediately changed my PW and reenabled the one-time
PIN (I had turned it off because I was being repeatedly prompted for a new PIN
over very short time spans even when I hadn’t logged out). I’ll also be downloading
my inventory

It must be a different one, as the .net one that goes to bricklink-com.co doesn't
really look anything like the frontpage of BL. No BDP banner, no "Browse"
box. Plus the login box is very different as it is a full page rather than a
pop-up. Also none of the buttons like "remember this login" tickbox work
if you click them.

From a cybersecurity standpoint you never click a link in a text or an email
about suspicious activity. You go straight to how you normally access the site
and see if there is a message there, if it is legitimate, you can then do what
is needed. Even if there isn't you might consider change your password. I
keep getting texts that my bank account is in jeopardy from a bank that I haven't
had an account with for 15 years, needless to say I don't click that link.
I have even gotten texts from PayPal about a dire issue, but when I access PayPal
normally there is nothing there. Thinking before you click is always your first
action. My job sends out test phishing emails. While some look official they
are never using a correct email address and are for things that I expect to be
notified of before an email requiring action.

The fact you already side on the sellers it's strange to me.

I do not see a negative for this issue, however on your other negatives your
responses to them are hostile. Also, anytime you post in the forums you have
a hostile tone. Yes, you can have a tone in writing based on the words used.
I look at negative feedback left for sellers, and their responses. Yours would
make me think very hard before placing an order. I know in other countries the
customer service norm isn't "the customer is always right", but they
are still a customer and a person. Yes, some are horrible and can cause a strong
reaction, however, you are running a business, you are supposed to be a professional,
act like one. You can type out a scathing mean insulting answer to their feedback,
and instead of posting it, delete it and write one that reflects what happened
without the hostile emotions. That makes you look professional, that says you
can be trusted. An answer for this one of expecting a pair based on the description
would be, sent what they ordered, but they expect different. Simple, explains
what happened and doesn't insult anyone. Granted it isn't there and
is not an issue now. And I agree you didn't deserve a negative for a misleading
catalog description, but if it had stood a simple response would reflect better
on you then any hostility.

The negative you don't see has been removed by the admins.

And "The customer is always right" is an old quote from early 1900s,
today we know as a fact that a business doesn't need all customers, bad customers
happen and they are surely not right, I may suggest you some quick readings like:

https://www.tonyrobbins.com/career-business/is-the-customer-always-right/

or

https://www.forbes.com/sites/theyec/2019/05/23/the-customer-is-not-always-right-here-are-five-reasons-why/

I grew up in a restaurant, and we didn't bow down to the customers, however
we always tried to treat them with respect, but never accepted bullying and abusive
treatment. But if asked about it later we never badmouthed the people. We just
said there was a disagreement and we will no longer serve them.

I also come from the Southern US and we have so many ways to passive/aggressively
insult someone we don't have to do it blatently.

briϲklink.com², etc.)?

But they only talked about “brickslink” (or was it “bricklinks”?) and you almost
got caught by one of the 2,999,999 others. Should they send a list of the 3
millions possibilities?

Put a warning on the front page? One that can also be faked and diverted by
phishers?

Okay, what they could do is have a 24/7 helpdesk and quick procedures to at least
block an account… but then how do you ensure these procedures are fast and secure
and not abused? Another round of passwords and MFA? Another procedure that
can be copied / faked on a phishing website like they copied the OTP one?

In the end, phishing is a problem that can’t be avoided without the user being
diligent, without the user taking action.

Not necessarily in the last few months, there have been waves of spam targeted
at sellers several times previously - I know I had several around April 2022
purporting to be from a genuine store here about bulk purchasing, and there were
a lot of comments from others about the same thing.

It's very easy to get sellers' emails at least, all it needs is a little
automation rather than any hacking. Every time someone sends you a contact message
enquiring about an item in your store, if they request a copy to their email
I believe it will include the seller's address. I think we all get obvious
timewaster enquiries from time to time and just dismiss them.

I'd be very curious if people with only buyer privileges have also had these
spam messages.

I don’t know why BrickLink has suddenly become such a juicy target. These people
have no hope of accessing any of my monetary accounts. I assume the goal is
to gain access to a legitimate shop so they can list high-dollar items to scam
other members.

I don’t envy the task that management has ahead of them, but they need to take

at some point, when all the gummy spam, phishing attempts, and slow helpdesk
response times become too much, I may simply close my store for a while. I don’t
need the extra headache of worrying about online security for a part-time job.
Had I fallen victim to this phishing attempt, I’m really not sure how much effort
I would have put into trying to recover my account. BrickLink just feels like
a dicier selling proposition lately.

Thank you for your response, but I definitely wasn't trying to prove any
points, or just complain on the forum. I just had a genuine question about why
I may have been stop listed since it's never happened before.

I do greatly consider feedback scores and read store terms before shopping.
I also am never shopping just by lowest price. I usually am shopping for one
specific item to recreate an old set, and that can sometimes limit it to only
a couple of stores (who don't always have any mention of variants in their
terms). I figured asking first before ordering was the right way to go. I've
been burned before by not asking first, and then receiving a common variant worth
3 cents but the seller had priced it at the cost of the old, more unique variant.
So, I chalked it up as a learning experience.

I'm a fairly small hobby buyer and seller, so I'm learning as I go.
I appreciate having the forum to ask questions, and usually err on the side of
it being something I need to learn more about vs it being another buyer/seller's
fault.

Thanks for your feedback and suggestions.

In Problem, Brickman4you writes:

I guess you proved your point about the variation controversy, would it not just
be better to find a store that has an exceptional feedback score and states they
differentiate part variations in their store terms.

It's really no different than picking to shop at a store with tons of negatives
then posting of your horror story here on the forum, or not choose a store with
instant checkout or one offering flat rate shipping then complaining on the forum
that shipping charges on Bricklink are way to high.

Their are tons of really good sellers here on Bricklink, but you are required
to spend
the time to search them out.

It's part of the marketplace - its not always about who's got the lowest
price.

Hi All,

For the first time, a seller has blocked me from buying, and I'm wondering
if I did something against the rules. I had a cart ready to check out, and sent
them a message to ask about a couple of variants (screen shot of the message
below).

When I click back on the store cart, I now see the following message "Seller
Refuses Service. This seller does not want to sell to you and has placed you
on their stop list."

I'm really confused, and am wondering if I violated any rules by sending
the message before checking out? I'm just a hobby seller, with no negative
feedback, and am now worried they may leave me some (even though I didn't
even place an order). Should I reach out to them, or just let it go? Looking
for good advice.

You violated no rules. The seller doesn't want to deal with your questions
and chose to be rude about it. However, many sellers aren't going to pull
inventory and check for ~ $3 of parts.

You can use the Advanced Search Tool (see attached photo):

https://www.bricklink.com/searchAdvanced.asp

I filled it out and you can see the results in the attached photos.

Hey,
I just got a message from paypal saying that from April 15 they offer package
tracking for products paid for with paypal. Does bricklink know about this, and
will it make any changes necessary, on the page and/or for sellers?
Thanks and greetings,
Patrick

I imagine it will be regional, based on what the local postal providers can offer.
It shouldn't affect bricklink sales at all though. It is up to sellers to
provide any tracking in a dispute about non-delivery, whether that tracking comes
from their postal service or paypal.

You're right there of course; I was more thinking in terms of user interface
and data provided by bricklink to paypal - so far I send tracking numbers to
customers by message, because the way it's displayed in the order seems a
bit hidden to me (not to mention domestic packages often arrive before I get
round to typing in the numbers). If that means that from now on paypal will think
I don't provide tracking and raises red flags, that would be an annoyance.

Hello, I’m a seller!

Half and week ago, buyer placed an order, I’ve sent it two days after. Of course
I have proof of sending, tracking number, every confirmation he needs.
Now it is 12 days (including weekends) when order was still on the way, I keep
messaging with buyer of course - but today he is writing me about refund few
times, because order has not arrived, I wrote to him that sometimes deliver is
delayed for some reasons, but I can’t help it even if I want to.
Of course it is frustrating for him, I totally understand that, but I’ve checked
tracking number moment ago and there is information that order is already delivered
to buyer, but he was/is telling me whole day that it was’nt.
Adress was correct, could you give me some advice what to do?

Pamela

If the buyer claims they did not receive the order, you as the sender should
file a claim with the post office (at least that's how it works in Austria,
I assume in Italy it's similar). They should then show you a proof of delivery
or refund the value of the package to you. That probably means hours in "customer
service" phone lines and waiting for weeks for replies, but if it's a
valuable package...

They already said that the tracking indicates it has been delivered. The mail
provider won't refund when they say they have delivered it.

False! I wrote my experience with CanadaPost:

The OTP codes are going to be useless to combat scammers.

The current phishing scam is asking people to sign in with their user name and
password. Once those are entered, on the next page they are asking for the OTP
code that bricklink has sent.

No doubt they are automating logins so the user enters their username and password
on the fake site and then the scammers attempt a login at the real bricklink,
generating the real OTP email and the user then enters this on the fake site.
The scammer then has the username, password and real (and unused) OTP code which
they can use on the real bricklink.

As long as there is feedback, there will be some unfair feedbacks too. That will
happen randomly to sellers. More a seller sells, you more likely it happens.

Agreed. Not agreeing to the feedback is not really a reason not to have it.
Customer's opinion is too important as a tool for improvement.

Setting arbitrary rules like no negatives for new buyers is a very subjective
rule. You might just as well say 'sellers with less than 95% positive can't
leave poor feedback as they clearly don't give good service'.

There are always going to be mistakes and poor judgement calls, but other than
leaving a sour taste in the mouth, it's only really going to make a difference
as a seller if you have very few feedback, or poor feedback to start with.

The fact that I discuss my opinion with you but instead, you write "The fact

let me know and I comment "your idea/suggestion is the best one" to all

Otherwise, the following is my opinion:
The main goal of feedback is not to make good reliable sellers feel good by creating
a situation they never receive any bad feedback and get 100%. The main goal is
to give a mean to distinguish between good and bad sellers.
If you don't let new users to leave feedback, then some sellers don't
even feel they need to care about new users and ignore their messages about missing/broken
parts,... because those new buyers won't be able to leave any feedback. This
makes these users to run away from BL.
Also if new users (or new buyers if you prefer) don't leave any feedback,
then there won't be any difference between you and bad sellers when it comes
to interaction with newbies.

Is there any website in which they don't let newbies to leave any feedback
until they reach a certain point?!

Yes, the guy's putting it back I guess?

Anyway for 1 or 2 hours I can't see ANY inventory to buy, so OP's pretty
"safe".

Been very vigilant about any change:

- Immediately closing the store when it gets re-opened
- Deleting any added inventory
- Adding hacked messages back anywhere they delete them

Doing what I can until an admin pops up

That's the name of the game.

Consider yourselft lucky, you didn't have anything serious to do today/tonight
I guess!

I'm off a bit. Good luck!

Too bad today wasn't a monthly hour long maintenance.

Don't! Maybe Nubs is the hacker after all! Ya never know...

Idea, just set up a minimum buy of $999999, maybe the hacker won't see it,
so nobody will buy

He reads the forums since he’s deleting the messages so I don’t know if that

I apologize to the forum for spamming

Don't: simply do not post new threads!

Admins are probably sleeping / AFK / Not Available as of right now.

I don't know what to do. I was Hacked. I foolishly fell for a well times
phishing email and the hacker got access to my account.

Just be patient.

The hacker has changed my email, changed my username and is trying to upload
expensive sets to my store. PLEASE HELP I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO.

Do NOT log off, make you a coffee pot.

Empty the inventory from time to time - it's a couple of clicks, nothing
difficult.

Stop panicking, just stay awaik and wait for tomorrow.

He must be the first one who gets tired: not you!

I really don't understand why I should stop making posts but OK. Does anyone
know how this will be fixed? What am I looking at for recovery?

When you or someone else replies to an existing thread it shows up at the top
of the list. Also if everything was in one thread it would be easier for admins
to sift through the info, now they have to sift through 100 posts of HELP ADMIN

The messages in one thread makes sense. I apologize, I was just freaking out
and they were deleting my posts so I wanted to make sure it was seen. But thanks
to Nubs and others help it's definitely visible now. Unintentionally I've
flooded the forum more than originally intended, so again sorry.

No worries

this is a serious issue so as long as the convo continues it will
stay at the top so as soon as an admin is online who has the right privileges
they will see it and take action

I'm getting weird emails too. I don't have anything in my shop, and my
last order was a month ago (Which oddly was Par18!). I guess I'll just keep
checking my account to make sure nothing is messed up. I put the shop as closed
since I didn't know I could do that.

Hacker might be harvesting information from previous orders and sales.

That would make sense. I already also disconnected my paypal, and checked that
to make sure there weren't unknown transactions. That was the only money
thing connected.

It's 01:04 EDT - you'll have to wait AT LEAST until say 9:00 am EDT or
such.

Wait for some move in your shop like closed by an Admin "Preventive Action"
or such.
Or a post in forum.

Make a coffee, delete from time to time, just stay there.

Plus I’ll be here for a couple more hours to keep you company so you won’t be

I’ve seen stores suspended for preventative measures, so if there’s enough to
get admins attention they can suspend your store
One thread of your message and everyones replies should help them get up to speed
much quicker on what the problem is

Mods should have the power to temporarily lock ONE Shop per 24hrs for example
in case someone asks.

Of course, and even better, this platform needs a 24/7/365 Admin or such, but

ADMIN,

NEW INFO 2: I believe this was done so that I cannot send the request to change
emails as it now says there is already an account with that email.

NEW INFO 1: I got 2 more weird emails. One was confirmation for signing up
to BrickLink under the username par16 asking for email confirmation. another
was a login from a new device. I did not click either.

I don't know what to do. I was Hacked. I foolishly fell for a well times
phishing email and the hacker got access to my account.

The hacker has changed my email, changed my username and is trying to upload
expensive sets to my store. PLEASE HELP I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO.

Hacker, continues to delete all my messages, re-open my store, add inventory
etc.

You must be full time with BL?

Only since I also sell on owl, and eBay also. But I guess I’m in a “unique” situation
as I live at home still so rent is cheap but if I get a “real” job and move out
and am a shelf stocker or something I’d never be able to afford rent so it’s
a unique situation

I doubt that would be the only option. I don't think you are giving yourself
enough credit. You have created a massive store, ran everything from procurement
to shipping, created a name with branding and a massive following. Those are
some insane transferrable skills!

If they got your bricklink password and that is the same/similar to other passwords
you have for other accounts they may try to hack those also (or if you use that

Nope all my passwords are very unique

Yeah really sorry about all the spam. It's terrifying when it's your
whole business on the line

Is this your full time gig or do you have another (or five) job(s)?

Full time, side gig

I don't know what to do. I was Hacked. I foolishly fell for a well times
phishing email and the hacker got access to my account.

The hacker has changed my email, changed my username and is trying to upload
expensive sets to my store. PLEASE HELP I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO.

Hacker, continues to delete all my messages, re-open my store, add inventory

I’m just a forum mod so there’s nothing I can do in relation to your store (we’ve
received multiple problem message reports) I’m just posting to say mods are aware.
In the mean time try not to panic (easier said than done I know!) and I think
people can report a problem with your store through the problem centre to maybe
see if that can get it suspended.

Roo

Thanks for the kind words of reassurance. Definitely freaking out. Would be
nice if one of the mods that can do something would surface lol

Company is always helpful in times like this. Here is a funny image with some
extra words.
Hacker finally gets access to account after phishing for weeks on end
Owner dosnt back down and lets everyone know and pull one on the phisher by deleting
their own inventory which is what the hacker was threatening

Ya I can't imagine, I know how much work I have put in for 6mo store with
30k, I can only imagine how much work you have put in. I don't think hackers
understand that, they are more interested in the immediate gratification. Stealing
from hard working people who have built from the ground up.

looks great, now even if they delete your hacked message then at least the blank
page is something of a red flag to even the most novice BL users!
