| If you are a US seller & haven't updated your shipping rates yet, now is
the time. I just printed a new label and it's about 5.5% higher than previously.

their end.

I have shipped the order, however, the buyer hasn't said he has received
it, although he hasn't contacted me for a long time. I can only assume it
has been received.

| That is exactly my percentage for the year. 113 out of 794 orders for 14.23%
If I didn't have it enabled I'm sure there is some percentage of those
113 orders that would refuse to use PayPal and I'd miss the sale.

| I don't disagree with you, PayPal is a massive fee collecting machine.
That said, I'd bet that my store percentage is plus or minus a percent or
two of the greater Bricklink community that offers both payment methods. I also
still feel that a lot of people are not a big fan of PayPal, and would use other
options if given the choice, which is why offer Stripe. It's really not
hard to setup a Stripe account, and I'm surprised more sellers don't
offer it. If 25% of my 98 Stripe orders this year would only use Stripe and
I didn't offer it, it would have cost me approximately $500 in lost sales
based on a $20 average order.
Just for fun I went back to last year's numbers as well. 115 of my 1056
orders were with Stripe for 10.9%. If that kind of growth persists for a few
more years, sellers who are PayPal exclusive are going to be missing out.
| | You misread what I said. I never said just BL, I am talking about Paypal overall.
And those stats are just based on your store. I understand. But my point
is world wide, not just on BL. But even on BL, it is the dominating financial
go to.

| Of the 688 orders I've had this year, 590 were PayPal and 98 by Stripe.
That yields 85.75% for Paypal and 14.25% for Stripe. You point that PayPal is
the largest still holds true, but a lot of people are not a big fan of them and
would use others if given the chance.

Wow, no reason to be that upset over something!
Paypal is by far the largest financial app out there. Not to mention they bought
out Venmo which was the second largest. My point is, close to 95% of people
use Paypal.

| Based near Wichita, KS, I have seen this a lot from this KC Distribution center.
A month or so ago I ordered from a seller in KC for a couple parts i need in
a rush. My package arrived at the distribution center, left that evening and
ended up in Idaho. It took 7 days to get 200 miles down the highway to Wichita.
I can think of at least 3 times my buyers have messaged me about late deliveries
arising from KC sending a package a thousand the wrong direction.
Tracking for comedic relief.

| | Anyone else having delivery issues with this worthless government agency?
Here's my agonizing ongoing saga. My order was shipped on Aug 5th from GA,
Later that day it arrived in Kansas KS distribution center. Aug 6th it left Kansas
City KS distribution center, on Aug 8th it arrived in Atchison KS, completely
passing my house in the process. Later in the evening of Aug 8th it went to the
Kansas City MO distribution center than ending up back at the Kansas City KS
distribution center, again completely bypassing my house. Early on Aug 10th it
arrived at the Kansas City MO distribution center, it left there only to arrive
at the Kansas City KS distribution center again later that morning. By the afternoon
of the 10th it was out for delivery, only to end up back at the Kansas City KS
distribution center on the 12th. How many times are they planning on bypassing
my house? On the 13th it was in transit to the next facility, Aug 14 says it
arrived at post office and later that day was out for delivery. Well today is
the 15th, no order and no update from the USPS. From now on I'll only buy
from sellers who use Fedex or UPS.

| This all seems like a lot of work for a .30 helmet. The head is likely destroyed
already by the pliers. I once had a black head stuck in an early Jango Fett
helmet. After 20 minutes of prying i got it out, and found it had been super
glued in and ruined the helmet. Sometime it's best to just order a new helmet.
If it's super glued you could try to pour some thinned nail polish remover
into the head. That head is a blocked open version and the liquid should at
least make some contact with the helmet. Might loosen it just enough to get
it to break free. Thin it first or it will melt the plastic.

I have a custom made tool for this ... an old torso with no arms and a few layers
of tape around the neck. Stick it in tge head, then twist then pull. The tape
gives extra grip in the head, usually enough to get it going.

| | I just received two payments in my paypal account but neither of the orders are

buyer's.
Hello,
I just attempted to order 1x 3626cpb2064 and 1x 973pb0647 listed in your store,
but when I attempted to confirm the order after authorizing the payment on PayPal,
the page crashed. When I reloaded, the order didn't appear to go through,
but
the items were shown to no longer be in stock on your store.
Did those items happen to sell while I was in the process of ordering or was
this a glitch on BrickLink's part? The payment doesn't appear on my PayPal
history.
Thanks,
Jacob....
Anyone else or any ideas? I received two orders earlier without any issues.
