| Does anyone have experience with NSS this year? How long does it take for administrators
to receive messages? After writing to the administrators, do you still get ticket
numbers like last year?
The NSS was opened against me on January 19. But the shipment was delivered about
10 days earlier. No message from buyer only open dispute. At the same time with
the NSS here on bricklink, he also opened a dispute on Stripe. On stripe, the
dispute was resolved in my favor 2 weeks ago, but on bricklink, the NSS still
lights up. I have been trying to write to the administrators since the beginning
of the dispute, but without any response. I used to receive a confirmation from
bricklink that the inquiry was sent, but since the new year nothing has come.
Does anyone know what's going on? If the administrators are present? Have
any admins ever written back to anyone this year or have they stopped responding
across the board? Thank you for the replies, or advice on how to get rid of NSS
when neither administrators nor buyers respond yes. It's quite frustrating,
my experience from previous years was that the administrators reacted really
quickly (mostly within a few days) and canceled the unfair NSS, but this year
nothing is happening for the second month.
In my opinion, if I add to the NSS dispute the number of the shipment that is
delivered, the NSS should be automatically closed or postponed until the administrator
solves it, this way the dispute is conducted unfairly and for an unnecessarily
long time.

| Got an order from a zero feedback user who created the account July of last year.
User name Albrick7.
No problems at first, I have never had a problem with a new buyer, but this one
is raising some serious red flags.
I get an order for my Medieval Market, and then a message a few minutes later
that states
"Good morning, first time making a purchase on bricklink. This item is brand
new?
What would shipping look like? "
Keep in mind this is an order, not a quote.
So I reply with the different shipping options and the prices to those.
They reply asking if PayPal is the only payment accepted, to which I reply its
the only one I accept, not sure if BrickLink uses others.
Here is their reply
"I have used stripe here for payment. I don’t have PayPal."
My reply, almost instantly
"How have you used Stripe as payment here if this is your first order?"
No response since that message sent about 8 hours ago.
Would just go ahead and send this to the help desk, but can't wait two months
for a response.
Beware if you receive an order from this user!

|
| Hello,
I hope somebody can help me with an order that has been paid by onsite payment.
I got Bricklink mail that the order is paid and the 'Payment status'
is 'Pending'.
The is no money in my Paypal account.
The seller wants me to cancel the order, because there is something wrong with
the payment. Not telling me what.
What is happening with such a payment and what is the smart thing to do?
- Cancel a paid order myself. (is it possible?)
- Let the buyer cancel this order. (is it possible?)
- File an NPB. (is it possible?)
Anybody has good advice for me? Never had this before.

|
| Hey
I would like to hear some opinions or advice how other sellers handle those situations:
As i sell many used minifigs as well, i check them before shipping even if they
were stored nicely. I make sure there are no cracks and no marks that i did not
had disclosed before adding it to the store. Sometimes of course you find something
or there is a new crack happening after long storage. Then i just refund before
shipping or check if i have that part/fig as well as dublicate somewhere.
But i had now twice the situation, that i checked the minifig i shipped before
very well (cracks, marks, scratches etc.) and shipped them and then got a complaint
that the "there was a crack".
I know its not true. But i can't proof it. So usually i make a replacement
or full refund, because its not worth the trouble. But its always only happening
on minifigs that are in the higher price range.
Sometimes i think someone just had a crack in his collection, ordered from me,
then repalced his cracked part and send his broken part back to me.
Anyone had such experience/thoughts and how you deal with them?

| Had a buyer do a $100+ order, which was shipped and delivered. Arrived Jan 8.
Buyer marked the order COMPLETED shortly afterward.
Today (Feb 26) I get a note from PayPal that the buyer is initiating a chargeback.
No reply from buyer yet via BL messaging nor from direct email.
I've submitted the tracking number, proof of delivery, and screenshot of
the order marked COMPLETED to PayPal in response to their alert. Haven't
heard back from them yet, either.
What other options do I have, other than stop listing the buyer (which I've
done now)?
ALSO: I know from Facebook discussions that at least one other store got the
same chargeback alert today regarding the same buyer with an order around the
same time as mine.

| Can a seller retaliate by leaving me negative feedback if I file NSS?
I bought a couple of Batman minifigs from a seller. Some are listed as NEW and
some USED.
Got my shipment, and two of the NEW minifigs came with somewhat frayed capes.
Obviously not new but these will be displayed behind a frame so I will let those
pass.
However, one of the NEW minifigs has a cracked cowl on the chin and obvious white
stress marks at the corners of the chinstrap.
I sent the seller a message through BL (now already marked as "read"
but no response. I did also send him a direct email with the photos.
I am thinking giving him a couple more days to a week to reply, and if not then
I will file a NSS case.

|
| My costumer contacted me about missing his order. As I could see in my DHL Monitor
he or she received it on Friday 16th. I shared the DHL tracking number to give
the costumer the proof of already receiving it. It was shipped as a tracked and
ensured parcel. Normally the parcels reach the costumer by giving a signature
to the delivery man but in case if the aprcel if flat and small enough DHL place
the parcel in the mailbox of the costumer. Now the costumer claims the the parcel
wasn´t delivered and wants a full refund which I clearly refused as DHL clearly
delivered it within Germany.
As I understood correctly the NSS status is not made for orders which got "lost"
after shipping. I only could answer in the NSS problem window but i guess there
will not come any progress from the costumer so I´m scared if I lose seller status
by system after the 2 weeks. As I could see the costumer has no feedback yet
so it feels a little bit like a scam to blackmail the money back from me in a
paypal case I would like to know what I should do now.
I totally understand that the costumer contacted me and I provided all information
needed to find out everyhing about the order but I also clearly explained why
there is no legal claim against me or the possibility of any ensurance refund
by DHL.
It feels clearly unjustified to use this status to set pressure on my account
and I would really like to now how I can solve this technically correctly here
on the plattform to avoid any regress against my status.
thank you for your advices and support.
Kind regards

| I received an order from a store that has generally high marks, but some negatives.
The order was missing 5 pieces and also had 14 incorrect pieces. I've contacted
the seller about the issues, but my message has gone unread for 4 days. How long
should I wait before filing a NRS alert?
Also, according to the help section NRS is for orders where payment has not been
sent, but I have paid for my order obviously. Is this an issue?
Should I just drop it and re-order from somebody else? Time is somewhat of the
essence here, and the other unfortunate part is the incorrect pieces accounted
for 60% of the order cost. I hate to eat that. Ugh.
Thanks for any help or suggestions!

I am concerned with the fact that the buyer opened the NSS even though his order
was already delivered (he said it only after delivery without any contact, he
simply stated that I did not send the order), I can provide all the documents
about shipping and delivery (which I did via the helpdesk). I already sent it
2 weeks ago, unfortunately no one is responding, so I've been doing it every

| Hello,
I spent £25 on an order which is a fair bit of money to me, and never received
the item or any communication from the seller on this website or given email
address. I was advised on here to open a case with PayPal as they will handle
everything, but they closed the case in favour of the seller.
Again no communication from the seller and PayPal won't give me any information,
their response was for me to go small claims court in my county??? PayPal won't
let me reopen the case.
Has anyone else encountered this? My understanding is PayPal would be useful
and help in these scenarios, but this just totally now feels like I have been
scammed on bricklink despite using the recommended channels and methods.
Anyone have advice for me here?

| I have received 2 NSS because of a missing parts and refunded the buyers but
having a hard time getting the NSS changed. These are the first I have ever received
since I started selling years ago and both came from new users that instead of
contacting me they file the NSS first. Now I am terrified of getting another.
From the way its worded it looks like you have to have 3 orders cancelled or
can you get your selling privileges revoked just with 3 NSS filed against you.
Does anyone know how this works or went through this problem.

|
| Dear all,
In the last few months, we received 2 requests from buyers requesting us to fill
in the customs form with the total price much below the total cost to avoid paying
taxes in their countries (bigbao and lycaneart). Worst, they requested us to
commit fraud in our own country.
Those orders were canceled, so we lost 15 euros to PayPal fees.
If this happens again, we are thinking of not replying to the buyer about their
request and just sending the order with the customs form filled in correctly.
What do you think?
Don't you agree that the Bricklink Team could include a message in the newsletters
reinforcing the message that this kind of request is totally illegal everywhere
in the world, and it is not a special request from the stores (if they have that
information in terms of service)?

| Is it just the holiday season which brings out the newbie buyers who place an
order and then are in the wind about payment?
I've opened my store to allow 2 new buyers to purchase from me - didn't
have enough fb to do a manual invoice and my lot limits were low. They place
the order and then vanish, no payments. I've opened 2 NPB cases in the last
2 weeks .
I have reset my lot limits and expanded my shipping so IC can accommodate larger
orders in hopes this will fix the problem and send them to IC instead. I now
have 1 huge order , waiting for payment and it ties up my parts for 2 weeks -
5 days to open the NPB and 7 days to close. Not sure why BL cannot adjust the
close time frame.
Just wondering how other sellers handle these buyers - they don't communicate
or if the communicate it's along the lines of "can you wait a month for
payment", like I have lay-away plans ( LOL).

|
| Hello Bricklink Community,
This situation has happened to me several times over the years and have been
hesitant to speak up because this site is too important.
There are sets that sellers advertise as 'Complete', not missing any
parts, but when the package arrives, there are indeed missing parts. Sometimes,
it's just one part, some times it is several. Sometimes, it's a mild
irritation, and other times it prevents the set from being completed.
I just ordered 3 sets from 3 different stores and 2 of them shipped with missing
parts despite the 'complete' status on the initial listing. (The 3rd
order was flawless).
In the past, I followed up with some of the sellers and they endeavored to fix
the matter, but it's happened enough, I don't have time to follow up
with everyone.
My question for the community: has this happened to others? Am I just unlucky?
What gives?
Thank you for your time.
Sincerely,
Toyboy18

I've been dealing with a VERY difficult buyer who's been complaining
nonstop about their order. The item was delivered in September, and they've
made fraudulent claim after fraudulent claim about the order. Yesterday, they
issued an NSS about the item, even though it was delivered, and they've even
sent me pictures after it was delivered.
I can't do anything besides post comments on the situation on the Problem
Detail page. I sent customer support a detailed letter outlining all of the correspondence
between me and the buyer, but I'm anxious about turnaround time. Is there
anything else I can do? The buyer is not being cooperative and is doing everything
in their power to get a refund they are not entitled to, especially since they've

|
| Not sure if this is the correct forum for this but here it goes.
We got an order with a (!) on the 'paid' status, which means that payment
hasn't cleared.
In the past when this had happened, we would go to PayPal and find the payment
and it would tell us when the payment was estimated to be cleared.
When looking at paypal we usually 'order from (buyer name)' and 'payment
from (buyer name)' as separate, In this case, we see order by (or from, our
paypal is in French) (BUYER) marked as cancelled and another one marked as completed,
but no payment. When we click on the 'order' there is no option to refund,
which tells me that this isn't a payment.
Does this mean that a bug let the buyer place the order and not pay it but bricklink
mistakenly marked it as paid and pending? Or has PayPal changed how it deals
with 'pending' payments and only show them once they are completed?
At the moment, the item is sitting on my desk and waiting for payment to clear
so that we can ship it, but I'm just unsure if there is something wrong and
if action is required by either us or bricklink or paypal...

|
| So, back in November, I placed an order with a seller that has good reviews.
I paid the invoice and, it took him about two weeks but, he supposedly shipped
the order about three weeks ago. After two weeks, the package had not arrived.
I messaged him asking if there was an issue and if he had a USPS number for the
package. He responded that he would check with the post office that day.
A couple of days passed with no update, so I sent him an email requesting an
update. No response. Two more days passed and I sent another message. Still no
response. I sent another, high priority message and later another email and still,
no response.
So, it has been over a week since he said he would check, and I have no updates.
He never provided a tracking number or any other information for contacting the
post office to see if it has been lost. The package has never arrived (we have
a door camera so we would know if it was stolen). At this point, the only reason
I have to believe that he has even shipped the package is that he updated the
status of the order to “shipped.”
What would be the correct course of action at this point?

| This is my first time ordering through BrickLink so I don’t know the right etiquette,
but I made a small order Dec 5th, and paid right away for a domestic order in
Canada.
Since then I tried contacting the seller asking a question (on Dec 6th), which
hasn’t been read. I reached out again a couple more times shortly after to follow
up on the question and no reply, and a day ago I asked if there were any issues
since the status of the order still showed that I had paid but the items hadn’t
been shipped.
I know that it’s during the holiday season and that this store is a small family
business with great reviews, so I assume they’re busy and haven’t been able to
get to the order yet, but I am just wondering if I should send a non shipping
alert because it’s been two weeks and no response at all, and when I made the
order it was still pretty early in December. I don’t have the intention of cancelling
the order, but was wondering if that sort of alert would be bad for them or for
me as a future buyer elsewhere. What should I do in this scenario?

several methods to suit my buyer's preferences.
Then proceeded to make a PayPal claim that seller didn't provide tracking
info

|
| Hello,
I paid ~500 euros one week ago for an order and the seller is not replying to
messages or emails. He sent by himself a message on the day of the order saying
something about finding a large box, and since then, nothing. So I raised today
a NSS Alert.
I paid with a French American Express card through Stripe on BrickLink. It is
a "payment card" (= deferred debit), not a real credit one. I see BRICKLINK_SHOP
in the Amex app.
I'd like to clarify a couple things:
- Assuming the seller does not ship the item or reply anymore, do I get a refund
once the order is canceled (so in two weeks)?
- If not, to get a refund, do I have to contact Amex? Do you know of anyone who
had to do that in France and how they did it?
Thanks
PS: FWIW, looking at the feedbacks, a few people had the same problem and some
of them mention getting a refund from the seller. The store has ~20 sales this
year.

in October.
just wondering the best way to resolve this. I sent the Order info and tracking

the buyer never contacted me via Bircklink. The name and address match the claim

Also, the user has good feedback on Bricklink.
How have you handled Paypal claims?

I received an order where a part is 100% not Lego, but was offered as original
Lego with official BrickLink images.
What can I or should I do as a buyer if there is no response from the seller

With over 1000 reviews, it should be clear that parts with studs without the
Lego logo and clear instructions from BrickLink that the sale of third-party
suppliers is prohibited here on BrickLink.

| I placed an order from a Canada based store on Sept 27th (4 weeks ago) and still
have not received my items (I’m in the US - Virginia). Seller says it can take
up to six weeks, which doesn’t seem correct based on info provided by Canada
Post. When I asked the seller for tracking number, he said I didn’t purchase
tracking. I followed up asking for proof of shipping, but his response was to
check with Canada Post - this obviously isn’t helpful since there is no tracking
number.
Has anyone heard of Canada Post packages taking 6 weeks to be delivered? What
is a reasonable amount of time to wait before filing a NSS if the seller doesn’t
offer verification the items were shipped?
Thank you!

I received a non-shipping seller from a buyer that bought lego on 18th july,
he bought 885 parts in 125 lots. The order was shipped on 25 july, on 7 august
the buyer told me that there was some missing parts (less than 1% of the total
parts bought) for the amount of 1,62 € and I sent a refund for them using paypal
(not bricklink).
On 25th of august buyer decided to open non-shipping seller. I pointed out to
the buyer that the missing parts were still refunded many days before, but he
don't want to close the problem.
So I'd like to know there is a way to contact admin and ask them if they
can close the problem, if I well understand I can't do anything other, right?
Some admin read problem order page? Unfortunately there isn't any link to
contact help in that page.

I listed the item as Used but in great condition. Now that it’s arrived, the
buyer is saying it’s not up to standard due to swing wear on the arms, yellowing
and some black marks. He’s asking what I should do to fix this but I’m not sure

|
| This might seem like a dumb question but we have an issue with an order.
The buyer purchased empty boxes and wanted to receive an invoice without any
shipping because he would send his own shipping label.
It took a while for them to pay but after we initiated an NPB they said that
they hadn't seen the previous messages reminding them that they needed to
pay their order.
We packed the order, sent the dimensions in a bricklink message as we as through
email.
The package has been sitting here since the 5th of October, no response.
Since there is no 'Non-responding buyer' alert, is there something else
we can do to get in touch with the buyer? I don't think so, but maybe someone
here has an idea that I didn't come across so far.
I guess the next option would be to send the buyer a message saying that if they
don't send the shipping label we will have to refund them and cancel the
order, or to refund them and declare an NPB, which seems counter-productive and
somehow unethical, so we're at a loss.

|
| I've received an order that includes Iron Man Statuette / Trophy. However,
the shop sent me the wrong Statuette since the one I received was Statuette
53017pb043 which is worth about only EUR 2 , while the one that I ordered was
Item 90398pb004c01 which is worth about EUR 35.
I tried to contact the seller to ask for a correct one or at least a refund but
no answer.
It was the time that I checked the complains on the shop's profile and seen
that many recent orders from the shop had wrong or missing item.
The Statuette is pretty expensive and valuable, which makes me feel so sad and
upset to receive the wrong one.
Thus, may I wonder if there is any possible way that I can get a refund or at
least report the shop for scamming so that the Bricklink system can shut it down
so that no one will ever experience the same issue as me?
Thank you guy so much

| I now have the problem, 2 of my buyers want to cancel their orders.
One of them said the doesn't need the parts anymore. Due to EU regulations
I have to cancel, according to BL a buyer has to think about what he orders and
this is not a valid reason. This is a domestic order.
The other one is about a B2B order. The customer wants an invoice without VAT
but according to a law in Austria i can't do that.
I told him I will pay for the shipping, so it is a little bit cheaper for him.
He wants to cancel it anyways, so I told him ask something like this in advance
not after ordering. I would have had no problem if he asks in advance, I tell
him it is not possible and he is not even ordering. But to cancel a order after
placing it makes me mad and disappointed.
How do you handle something like this?
The domestic order is already paid by stripe, the other one is via IBAN

|
| Hey guys,
I always had positive experiences on Bricklink but I am a bit stumped on a recent
order and would appreciate feedback on what to do.
Bought a set sold as NISB. Seller shipped it fast, but packed it very poorly
using an old Amazon box and only put a little bit of brown paper within the box
itself (the same one Amazon uses). Wasn't enough to even cover the set entirely.
The package was delivered squashed and the inner box of the set was damaged (both
squashed, creased and also ended up tearing on one spot).
I contacted the seller asking for a discount. They said that if they can get
a refund from the carrier, they will give me a discount, but since I didn't
"accept the parcel with reserve" I was most likely out of luck (worth
noting the courier just left it at reception, I didn't even have a chance
to meet the delivery guy).
I contacted the seller again, reminding them that it's their responsibility
to sell the product as advertised (especially considering it was packed REALLY
BADLY).
They have been ignoring me since.
What do you think I should do?
I have never left a negative feedback before, but this doesn't seem right.
Any help is appreciated, thanks!

| Question for future scenarios:
Had an issue with a seller who shipped new parts stacked. Was unwilling to discount
pieces after arrival, and then changed their store terms to say they reserve
the right to stack new parts in letter-mail. After calling them out on that,
a minimum order was made on our store to complicate matters. Order was shipped
out, and I'm not worried about that per se. But would it have been in my
right to cancel said order as being bogus/retaliatory? Obviously blocking them
from doing so earlier would be the more prudent option. Just an exercise in what-if.

I am first timer on this site, so I don't know what to do. Nothing has been

Does anyone have roadmap of what to do next. I'm honest I'd prefer to

Buyer is saying they received non-Lego damaged Lego and so on. I have written

are damaged and then when I receive them back I will refund the money for them.
It is then that I find out the Buyer is not in the States. I do not sell to

are saying that would not work for them. Attached are the notes back and forth
they are in reverse order. from: ihave36paws Sent on: Aug 7, 2023 08:51
Send it back to prove it. All ours are double checked before they go out.
Receiving a label to mail them back see a fair thing to do. I will then refund
you the money once they arrive. It is a simple as that.
I noticed that you have 20 feedback that mention you have received refunds.
Just give me the okay to mail the label and this will be over soon.

This is a disappointing shopping experience.
Is there anything I can do about this? The refund comes to over thirty dollars

a refund. He wants to now stop me from selling but it looks like he needs to
be blocked from buying. I do not want to block him at this point until everything
is settled encase I miss a message from him.
Can you tell me what I have to do to protect my store?

| On july 27 an puyer (is also registered as seller) with 1 feedback (so fairly
new) placed a small order. I send him an invoice that day. On augus 1 (he had
not payed yet) in mailed him an reminder. He did not respond or pay. On august
4 I send him an email with the second reminder. He still did not pay or respond.
Today, august 6 I send him a new invoice and a last reminder. After that he first
send me a Order cancel Request an right after that an NSS. Besides the fact that
it is pretty brutal in my opinion, I find it very remarkable that Bricklink makes
it possible for a buyer to issue an NSS on an unpaid order. Can someone explain
that to me?

| Hi,
I placed an order with a seller on July 9th and payed on site. On, July 15th,
when I noticed it hadn't been picked yet, I posted through Bricklink and
emailed if I could add to the order. I was told I could do so and would be refunded
the difference in shipping. On July 16th I added to the order and paid on site.
My orders still haven't been packed. I messaged through Bricklink to ask
about my order. There was no response. I emailed the seller, there's been
no response. I know the seller is shipping orders, and getting responses of
"fast shipping". However, my orders are still listed as paid. My credit
card statement has arrived and at this point I would like to dispute the charges
and just be done dealing with this seller.
What is the proper protocal?

|
| After ~5 years of selling, I received the first NSS. Order was shipped and received.
Buyer ordered 2x part# 30409 in Reddish Brown. Buyer receives them, but says
I sent two brown ones, and demands I send 2 reddish brown ones...
I attached of photo (which I sent to the buyer) of the lot I purchased them in.
All the comparable pieces are reddish brown. Buyer still insists they are brown.
I proceed to shake my head... lol. Twice over I explained to the buyer that
the "brown" ones of this pieces are very rare, came in only 1 set in
2000 and worth about $40+ each (instead of the $5 each for the reddish brown
he purchased.)
So anyway, I offered a refund, but apparently buyer is done communicating, never
would provide a photo or say what other brown/reddish brown pieces he's comparing
them with to decide they are definitively brown. He told me to be honest... yikes.
Would you agree that buyers that aren't "Lego educated" can be a
tad problematic?
Any suggestions on how to proceed? I don't know much about the NSS process,
so now I'll have to read up on it and waste some more time on this
Thanks in advance.

| Buyer places an order, I fill order, and ship it. Buyer receives order and claims
that I sent them Light Bluish Gray instead of Light Gray for 7 lots. There were
no parts ordered in Light Bluish Gray.
Of the 7 lots, I still have stock of 4. So I compares parts in those lots to
my color board (actual parts, for every color I have ever encountered, and usually
1x2 bricks). All 4 compare correctly to Light Gray, but a difference can be seen
when compared to LBG. Of those 4, one shows never to have been made in LBG, only
LG.
Of the 3 lots that the buyer ordered all I had available, all were from three
sets recently parted out. Those sets have release dates of 2000, 2000, and 2003.
At this point, I’m taking the view that the parts were LG as ordered. Curious
to see what those who deal with this regularly have to say.

| Hello. I have a buyer who ordered a part and I noticed it was an off brand, oops
on my part, anyways I gave them a refund of the part and they said they are not
happy about that missing part. I don't have a replacement. So I looked up
the buyers feedback and they leave all sorts of "unhappy with order"
comments for other sellers. And takes to long for shipping, stickers are bad,
etc.
Seems to me I should just cancel his whole order as they did buy other stickered
parts as well. Or would they leave me a negative after canceling?

I recently placed my first order on the website, to DDBricks.
My package was quickly said "packed", but there is no news for the past
4-5 days. I would imagine preparing the order can take a long time, I definitely
imagine it will take a long time between "shipped" and delivery from
Thailand to Europe, but when the package is done and closed, I don't really
know what can take time before being shipped.
Is there nothing to worry about? Can it be that it shipped but not arrived in
Europe yet? (doubt it)
Thanks

I had a buyer in France purchase one thing. I had to send an invoice, which
I did. Shipping was high because shipping from the US to France is high.
For 7 days I did not hear anything from the buyer. Today, I filed an NPB. Suddenly
after an entire week the buyer responds and asks to cancel and says he found
the part elsewhere.
I'm looking for opinions on whether I should cancel or follow through on
the NPB.

|
| 3 out of the last 5 orders I have received have been wrong. Other orders I have
received have been wrong as well, and instead of bothering the seller, I was
just able to add those pieces on to the next order I was going to make. However,
with the 3 wrong orders out of the last 5, not one single store has yet to make
it right. I completely understand that accidents happen and small pieces are
going to be forgotten, or wrong pieces are going to get shipped. I really get
it. However, what is up with stores not even trying to make it right.
One seller never even responded to my message, and completely ignored me.
The next seller said he would get them in the mail, and hasn't in almost
3 weeks. I even offered to send him a dollar for the stamp and small envelope
as I really needed the piece, even though it was his mistake. I still don't
have the piece.
Another seller just claimed he didn't have the pieces, simply so he wouldn't
have to go back to the post office to send to me. This seller literally never
changed his inventory and still has over 100 of these pieces listed in his store,
even after he claimed he didn't have them. Just out of curiosity I had a
friend place an order for those same pieces from him, and the order was fulfilled.
This guy at least "refunded" me the 20 cents for the parts, which doesn't
help as I was out another $5 in shipping ordering from someone else. However,
it is really just the lying to tell me he didn't have them, when he clearly
did that bothered me. Well, not to mention the fact that his mistake cost me
an extra $5 in shipping.
I am a very reasonable person and like I said, on other orders I didn't even
bother the sellers, and still left them positive feedback. However, if I really
need the part and can't just add it on to another order I am going to make,
is it too much to expect people to make it right? All of these orders could have
been thrown in an envelope with a regular stamp on them. We are talking VERY
small quantities and pieces here.
Am in the wrong here? I would think with me even offering to cover the envelope
and stamp, even when it is not my mistake, that there would be some people out
there that would do the right thing.

just sharing this both annoying and funny story that happened yesterday. I ordered

What can I say, I was very surprised to find in the package a black shirt made
from a shiny fabric, not my taste all
I wrote the seller and he replied: I've never seen that shirt before so no
idea how that has turned up.
Of course, this is the courier company fault, not the seller fault. The seller
also refund me and received positive feedback from me.
I just wonder if any of you have more stories like this to tell.

| Hello,
I’m pretty new and something just came up that I wanted to ask about.
I got a message from someone that expressed interest in buying an item from my
store. It’s my first sale so of course I’m excited. Buyer has all positive ratings.
Buyer states that they are from another country ( I only ship to the USA)but
they have a relative here that I can ship to. Buyer asks for more pictures and
I supplied them. Buyer is now asking for my PayPal information because they can’t
buy through BrickLink. I’ve replied that not selling through BrickLink would
violate the terms of service that I’ve agreed to as a seller.
I’m not sure what the issue is/ why they can’t purchase through the site. As
much as I’d love to get that first sale under my belt, I’m not going to proceed
with the sale.
Did I handle this correctly? I don’t want the buyer to get upset and say negative
things about me/my store.

| I had a buyer who was off-putting, unreasonable and files PayPal claims twice.
He filed an NSS too. All the claims were decided in my favor.
He finally left a neutral feedback. He has annoyed me so much.
Right from the beginning, I considered if it would be a good ideas to name and
shame him on the forum by giving all details and leaving people to decide.
What are your thought about this? Do you think that would be a good idea to provide
on the forum all or some details of the interaction?
If I want to answer to this question, I would find it a good idea. I would want
to know if a seller failed, or if the buyer was unreasonable or wanted to extort
money and then decide to stoplist that buyer. I would not learn enough from a
20-word feedback of the two parties.

| Hello
I ordered a couple minifigs from a german seller.
Once arrived, i told him that he send the wrong minifig. The minifig was already
in my collection, so i had no use for it.
I told him he can either send me the porto (what is high) and i send it back
and he sends me the correct minifig (what would be about 10 Euro + labor) or
he can send me just 10 euro and be done with the topic.
He refused. He wanted only to refund the difference between the cost of the minifig
he send me and the one i actually ordered. I explained him, that i would not
have ordered this minifig and i have no use for it, so either i send it back
on his cost and he sends me the right one or he has to refund.
It's just about 3 Euros actually. But i really don't like people that
don't full refund for their mistakes. Mistakes can happen!
As an answer, he told me again that he will just refund me the difference between
the delivered minifig and the minifig i ordered.
In the same message, he started to talk about that he checked out my website
and stuff, and starts threatening me with "abmahnungen". Thats some german
term were they report you for anything wrongdoing (like not having an impressum,
not beeing registered at the right place) and that this will cost me up to 2500
euro.
In the end, i'm not really threatend. I checked my legal obligations and
they are all fine (he probably just missed the links to impressum and data-security
in the footer).
Nevertheless - how to deal with such a seller on bricklink? He has many many
positive feedbacks - even though i start to suspect he makes sure this way that
he does not have any negative ones...

Just need some advice. I received a NSS for the first time in about 10 years
of actively selling and buying on brick link. Customer made an order we filled
and shipped but the head the customer ordered was incorrect. Listing error for
sure. I opened our dashboard this morning to the NSS alert. I contacted the
customer apologized and sent a full refund so they can source that correct part
as I don't have the correct one.
I put comments into the field on the form and sent it off.
Question is what happens next? We have processed over 19k orders and this is
a first for us. We make mistakes for sure but always work through them with
the customer and have a 99.88 feed back. Hoping this is a minor thing but I
am not sure.
Thanks in advance for the advice/comments

|
| I just had a situation where the buyer and me agreed to cancel an order so the
buyer could then revise the order and place a new one.
The buyer had already paid for the order via EFT (Canada).
I canceled the order and went through all the steps on the "Manage Refund"
portion of the order page. The order no longer shows up on my FEES page, so I
know that BL has completed the cancellation.
My question is, does BL initiate the EFT transfer of the funds back to the buyer,
or do I need to do that myself?
If BL does it, how long does that usually take? The buyer has already paid for
the revised order, but I want to make sure that he's not out the money for
the original order for very long - but I also don't want to transfer the
money to him if BL is going to do it again.
Thanks in advance for your answers.

| This buyer https://www.bricklink.com/feedback.asp?u=Bricktastic.
placed two order with my store
The first one, for a $50.00 figure, they complained that the shipping charge
(I invoiced shipping with insurance and tracking) was too high.
I reinvoiced with $1.95 shipping (less than my minimum shipping charge) and offered
to send it with insurance and tracking and to absorb the additional cost.
After a week of no contact, I canceled the order. I obviously should have filed
an NPB - it would not have been their first.
The second order was for a $17.00 figure. After it arrived they complained that
the head has a scratch. I offered a full refund if they return the figure.
They refused and gave me 6 hrs to send them $13.00, but will not return the figure.
It has been at least 10 years since I have suggested stoplisting anyone on this
site -- but this is one of those times.
Save yourself the trouble and get out of the way of this train wreck.
I have forwarded everything to BL customer service and hope they will remove
his feedback and consider banning this problem customer.
Thanks,
