  i got this issue: #20240516-64c2bdc64545
I made an order, the seller sent an invoice, but when i press "Pay" an
error message pops up and there's nothing i can do. Anyone can help?

If the sellers is outside of the EU you need to pay with the PAY button else
VAT will not be collected correctly.

I would suggest wait until later today or tomorrow as sometimes it just works
a few hours later.

  However, the seller wants me to send 2 payments - one for the invoice summary
total, and a 2nd for the shipping.

How would you send the 2nd payment?

Seller suggests via paypal directly - not thru bricklink.

That’s against the TOS.

I don’t know about the rules in your state but if there’s Sales taxes on shipping,
by law, BL has to collect it, and BL can only do that if the payment is “onsite”
(done with the Pay button on the site, not by going on PayPal by yourself).
Otherwise, it’s tax fraud


  But still looking for what the seller needs to "fix", so the invoice
they send out is correct in the first place.

Yep, better.

OK - I looked at the Invoice - Tax was based on purchase price [not counting
shipping]. Looked at a couple of my other invoices I have - tax was based on
purchase price [not counting shipping]. So. I don't believe there is a Tax/Legal
issues here.

However, I'm still looking for what the Seller needs to do/change,
so that shipping in included in the summary part of the invoice [and is included
in the amount that is liked to the pay button]. Note: shipping is listed in
the detailed section below the summary, but not in the summary.

Do I need to post this in a different forum?

Thank You

Maybe that seller needs to reset the template settings of the invoice as TAX
tags were added not so long ago. But should be careful to copy the old one custom
parameters to add to the new reset invoice template.

This addition probably won't last long, but it still makes sense to split the part now while the different stud versions are not yet merged, because the split only affects the hollow stud version.

Is there any chance we might get notes on the individual heads that came with
both blocked and hollow? We do for many variants even if they arnt separate entires
so could we see that as a possibility with a note like “this head came in both
blocked open and hollow stud versions” so that a little of the data might be
kept as technically it’s no different then other variants that have notes?

+1 maybe site admins can mass insert a note the database directly for those entries.

Are you using the email that can be found on the terms page?

I think you should get an automated reply.

Also maybe 20$ is your owed fess and 6$ are the new ones from the ongoing month.

What you are looking for is now in your individual shipping methods. You need
to add the country to each method you want available for them.

Good luck,

Hi Jen, thanks for that, I've tried your suggestion, but my screen looks
different to yours. I've only got 3 options, Weight Band Price Band & Flat
Rate, I can't do what you've done.
Why have Bricklink messed things up so much?
Claire

The other options are only for USA sellers.

My manual invoice option is like this:

PD: Onsite paypal is just the payment method used to pay, it can be used on both
Instant Checkout orders and on Manual Invoice orders.

Also is there a place to add an extra address to my account? So that i can just
select the one i want at checkout instead of having to update or type in everytime

You can also change your main address here:

https://www.bricklink.com/r3/user/addressbook.page

There you can have more than 1 in the same country that you can switch at checkout.

Yup! Just select only the categories you wish to run the sale on rather then
your entire inventory

At the bottom of the same page you have to select the update option: Put items

Aren't there many books on the catalog that only have 1 set as inventory?


The original production runs of this book did not contain the "set",
so the book is inventoried like all other books that did not contain a "set".

Then should not the “set” be removed from the catalog? After all it is technically
just a bag being used as a containment device for the parts.

In that case I suppose it would be best to add the inventory of parts to the
book and add the set as an alternate to all the parts. But I don't know if
the system is capable of that.

  Hi guys,
sadly the process of changing and merging parts on Bricklink (BL) is going on
and on, which is in some cases good and in some very bad.
I am a MOC designer and doing MODs of existing MOCs. For those modifications
I normally provide Studio generated Bricklink wanted list XMLs next to my instruction
pdfs.
In the last months I received more and more emails that complain about those
XML files.
I always test those XMLs right after I create them by importing them into my
default BL wanted list. So I know the XMLs are valid and work on BL at the moment
I created them.

But the strange way (at least in my opinion) of changing the parts lib on BL
and the way the poor implemented XML importer works on BL, those XMLs are suddenly
invalid.
So I have to regenerate the XMLs or cause Studio and BL are not synchronized
on the part changes, I have to manually fix the XMLs. This means I have to spend
a serious amount of my spare time for something that should really not be my
task.

My question is, why does it have to work this way?

All other tools and platforms, like Rebrickable, are still able to import those
"invalid" XML files.
I would expect BL just sets the old part numbers to "deprecated" or adds
the old numbers as valid alternatives to the new ones. So the import tool can
automatically switch those parts to the new valid number while the import process
Or another simple solution, the import tool has a "whitelist" of those
old parts integrated. So if the part is not found in the BL database, it checks
the "whitelist" and if the part is found there it automatically converts
it to the new number.

Really strange that such a situation is reality in 2024 with all that AI around
us.

Kind regards
Joerg aka Linse

Indeed that is a huge problem, sadly with the current tools within Bricklink
there no option, wish they updated the import to also match to alternate IDs.

For the time being your best option is to use the software Brickstore, import
the XML there and it will fix all the entries to match Bricklink, then you can
export as XML again.

Seems to be an issue for Trans-Red, Trans-Yellow, and White (left side or right)
at least. 6-month sales avg looks fine.

There is a German store that parts out sets and list all the items at the same
high money amount $$$ then a day or so later it changes the prices of those items
to be on the high end of the current PG. Maybe the PG autocalculation is cached
for some time, IDK if it is just a few minutes or some hours, but I think this

I have gotten an email that the Bricklink Program products will be send in three

That sounds good, but i have forgotten my order.
Can I find those orders some where?
In Bricklink I find nothing and in my Lego-account either.
In the email is no link or something. Only the message that I must check the

There is a button somewhere in Bricklink with "my Pre-order", but that
leads to the Lego site, where I can't find the pre-orders.

Can anyone help me to find my pre-orders?
Probably very simple and jsut in my face

Kind regards,

It should show on the LEGO site, I can see all my orders from many years ago,
maybe you are logged in there with a different account than the one you did the
purchase?
