Anyone know what’s wrong.

I don't know, haven't check if there's something specific with messages.

I reply either by e-mail or if in an order directly in the order page.

Speaking of insurance; who files the claim? Hasn't been an issue yet, but
let's say something is lost (only shipping in the US) and it has insurance;
Do I refund the buyer and then file the claim for me?

File the claim first before refunding as doing say may trigger a search for the
package and if found they will cancel your claim and your buyer will get it.

Agreed!!!
Often it gets delivered like 2 days just after you started a postal inquiery

Yes.

Seller ordered and paid the shipping.

It's the seller to take care of the insurance (and perceive the eventual
corresponding amount).

In rare cases the shipper may ask you to get from the buyer a signed document
declaring it's not been received... but normally buyer's not implied.

  Hi I received an order today it mostly consisted of instructions. I purchased
the instructions to complete used sets but this is how I received them.

Frankly? There's one brand New 70337 in Texas for 50 cents...

Don't bother buying Used for Instructions (apart really rare/expensive and
with details on their condition...)

  Rather than suggesting that they could open a paypal claim to get refunded, why
not just refund them. The end result is the same, and you probably wouldnt have
received the NSS warning. Now you must refund to have it removed.

Additionally, if the buyer submits a PayPal claim and the seller contests it
and loses, the seller will get hit with an additional dispute fee.

That's possible, but I have a strong case.

You don't hear well?


As a seller you legally HAVE TO refund.

You, yourself, NOT PayPal.

Buyer opened a claim? Refund it from PayPal, immediately, and avoid much more
troubles.

Insurance is for the seller to be refunded.

Buyer has nothing to do with this, and cannot ask for a refund to the shipper:
only to the seller.

https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1467925

That's correct, and that's the way I handle it when it's shipped
with insurance from the shipper. But when it's paid by paypal it's already
insured by paypal so why let the buyer pay again for insurance by the shipper?

PayPal isn't an insurance; it's a bank which provides a payment service.
They the most often protects the buyer, not always.


  When a buyer does not receive his order it's he who has to open a claim with
paypal in order get refunded

No, buyer tells you he didn't receive, you talk with him and simply refund
him.

It's VERY detrimental to you as a seller (you'll have "a bad mark"
and they can close your account) to have PayPal in the middle.


  The claim is opened so at the end a refund will be made

You HAVE to immediately and voluntarily refund the buyer through PayPal.

Again, it's VERY bad for the seller to let PayPal decide.

Sorry, in Europe it's your responsability for the buyer to receive, by Law.

Example:
https://europa.eu/youreurope/citizens/consumers/shopping/shipping-delivery/index_en.htm

Missing delivery

If you don't receive your goods within 30 days, or within the agreed time,
you should remind the trader giving them an additional, reasonable time limit
to deliver. For example, if the trader has informed you that your delivery is
delayed by a week because of problems with his suppliers you should consider
giving him that extra week.

If the trader still doesn't deliver within the extended deadline then you're
entitled to terminate your contract and be reimbursed as soon as possible. You
don't have to give the trader extra time if they refuse to deliver or when
an agreed delivery period is essential, for example, if you need the goods for
a specific event, such as a dress for a wedding, and you have informed the trader
of this in advance.

  It's very stressfull to receive a NSS
let be when it's based on false accusations.

Sorry but if the buyer didn't receive it, then as a shop owner you are responsible,
insurance or not.

Simply refund the buyer (if possible from the order page if paid on site), and
if not, provide a proof of refund (like a PDF of the PayPal transaction status
on PayPal) to the NSS.

Then wait, Help Desk is slow.

  Yesterday I placed an order on a little store where I saw that in store terms:
"Additional Bricklink/PayPal fees will be added at the end of the order (packaging,
ink, paper, zip bag envelope, etc...)"

I'm thinking of a new one:

"Additional charge of $1.50 per order for professional accountant's fees."

That's cheap, even when averaged over all orders!

I don't know at your place, but a year of accounting in France for a small
company is invoiced about 2000/3000€...

The trick is to save all the documents and not think about it until tax season,
then do nothing but taxes for 3 days straight and then forget about it until
the next tax season. Good money saver

3 days? 15 days, at least

  I went to a undisclosed location for a personal look at the 50% off sets, and
they are real!
Almost everything is 50% off or more!

Now why you should buy,
For example there are 30,
 
Set No: 71418  Name: Creativity Toolbox - Maker Set
* 
71418-1 (Inv) Creativity Toolbox - Maker Set
495 Parts, 4 Minifigures, 2023
Sets: Super Mario: Super Mario Maker Set
Which part out for about $115 each.
The cost of buying 30 of them is 2395.80
BUT they are 50% off so you will actually pay only 1197.90
Total part out value, $3450, leaving a profit of 2252.1!

Contact if you are interested, and we can work something out.

Not that I’m interested but how much would it cost to ship all 30 to the states
and by that point would it be worth it?

There is no way shipping will be more than $2000

If you remove the boxes & instructions, then I guess it'll be FAR less.
Less than 20kg, that's 200€ shipped from here to you for example.
Maybe half of this from CA to US?

The boxes aren’t great condition anyway so that’s a good idea.

Buy sets, open them, remove instructions and misc cartons, sort the baggies and
put each baggie in a garbage bag.
Close and put all the garbage bags in a box and ship

30 sets is 15kg + packaging, cheap shipping I guess (especially considering the
value).
Insurance may cost.
