For both items shown, the bulk quantity should be x4

The buyer completed the purchase correctly, but BL screwed up the display for
the bulk of the second item. I have never seen this error before now.

My second BL glitch in 48 hours. The other one was an order item that my records
and my BL emails prove I sold about 6 weeks ago, but appeared in a new order.
I know it's an error listing because the Retain Lots was NOT enabled and
pretty much 100 percent of my inventory items have Retain Lots turned ON.

Wasn't the update just a few nights ago? That is usually the pre-cursor
to this type of problem cropping up.

Already said: do you have recent invxml.txt files downloaded and timestamped
to check and compare?

Or BrickStore files?

If not, it's very possibly an human error, or a inventory sync in between
platforms?

I could verify 2 BrickLink cases where it increased our Inventory of a lot in
almost 5 years. So 2 in 48hrs, sur that can happen, but far more probably something
else.

I see in your inventory you have many items with bulk x4 and x20, could it be
that when listing this item you wanted to put x20 and typed 10 instead?

You can download Brickstore and sort your inventory by the retain column to see
if all items are changed, do you use any other software?

I have been doing a massive switch from one type of storage to another, doing
inventory in the process. I was missing about a fifth to a quarter of my stock.
I never saw anything weird during the great BrickLink hack of 2023. I changed
my password etc. it's bizarre though, entire lots missing, thousands of pieces.

this happens to me too much. Always happens in groups, like they backed up our
inventory from an old database.

Recently, BL sold a torso I never had listed. I thought perhaps I had imputed
it accidentally, apologized to the customer, and made sure I did not have any
more in my inventory. This was some odd/rare torso in a non existent color.

a few days later, bl sells it AGAIN. Same song and dance.

It sold yet a third time.

The orders were not cancelled, just given credit for the "missing" part,
so I have no idea how it kept getting put back in my inventory and selling over
and over when it was never in my inventory to begin with.

I've had this happen about 1-2 times a year but always figured I was at fault
even though it didn't seem that way, after the whole recent fiasco I don't
think its me.

Haha yes!

I'm actually more shocked these days when I can't remove a stain, between
acetone, alcohol and H2O2 and the fabulous magic eraser (do not use on lego though,
I've learned the hard way you can see the scratches)

The disinfectant wipes, doesn't have to be lysol, work. They also take the
stickiness off if removing stickers. Or hand sanitizer (alcohol?).

New seller. First order. Buyer purchased set for a price which I believe is less

While I'm sure your answer was covered by the others...

#1 There is a reason BL has the review section when you post new items. Its
good to review it before you blindly click. I've caught a few fat finger
typings during my listings.

#2 If you use the radio button for sales options be sure you ABSOLUTELY know
what your doing before hand and After you are done with the sale and review your
items again.

#3 Its always good to review your stuff every few months. Just to be sure.

Outside of that some have claimed over the years we have gremlins. While I know
these Gremlins exist, in all my time here I have never seen something magically
change until it was something I did via 1-3 listed above.

Cheers

Gremlins were, but not with the prices, but with the number of items, with onsite
payments, more items were returned to the warehouse than there actually were.
If the system evaluated these onsite payments as not executed, the items from
the warehouse were not written off, but the order in the deposit was then added
to them, so when someone then bought items to zero, I had 2x more than the actual
amount after such an unexecuted order. It happened to me with several orders
and quite large ones, when my warehouse suddenly grew by several thousand items
without me doing anything. But that was 2 years ago and luckily I haven't
registered anything like that since then.

I do know that qt# are one of those Gremlins but with my Store being small I
caught the few times it happened or before the order got processed to deal
with it. While I have NO way to prove it. I suspected a few years ago it was
tied to the Tier Pricing. almost like each tier could have been adding to the
inventory. When I worked the math it didn't make sense so I didn't bother
digging further and just always redid inventory checks every few months against
a previous qt count of the higher bulky items.
