Hello,
I just received my order, and there are multiple problems:
Both of the 2 Clone Trooper sw1304 have the WRONG HEADS. They came with
Chancellor Palpatine sw1306 heads. They are also missing their visors.

finders
Please let me know as soon as possible when you can ship all the missing items.
Since shipping took a long time, can these be shipped with Priority Mail or Express
Shipping?
I look forward to hearing from you.
I list in each sales publication it is specific how the minifigure comes, in
some cases with a lack of accessories and that is why the prices are so low,
although everything is new, you just can't get all the accessories.
Your way of interpreting it is wrong, when you buy a product you must carefully
check its conditions, from the moment you are buying a minifigure you are not
buying a complete set, a Lego minifigure is made up of 1 mini upper part, 1 lower
part , 1 head, and as an extra 1 helmet or hair. And so that you are well informed,
a minifigure is not a product that Lego sells, it is part of a product that Lego
sells.
What you say about shoulder pads, capes and so on, they are accessories, and
in the specifications I say: without accessories.
|
Well regardless of whether the seller believes they are accessories or not and
regardless of whether they put in their item description that accessories were
not included:-
A) They should have been more specific about what wasn't included as accessories
on Bricklink would be classed as handheld items that are not shown in the minifig
catalog image
B) It is against Bricklink policy to list a catalogued minifigure without everything
in the picture being included
|
They may very well be legit sources from a set (are they Lego stores in Mexico?).and
if the seller had, say, 6600+ feedback I’d be a true believer they are operating
a legit store. But when feedbacks drop faster than the atmospheric pressure in
a cat 5 hurricane, they refuse to address their issues as a seller, and there
is precedence set, it’s more of the old adage if it smells like mustard pizza,
it probably is.
People also believe OJ is innocent.

Have I skipped a post? Do we even have the full details of the sellers account
at this stage? If not lets just stick to what we know.... The buyer received
missing parts, nothing more nothing less!
|
Don't bother. You're known (to me, anyway) as a man of reason and probity
who's expecting the same from some others without. Honestly, kinda painful
to witness. Haven't myself read anything within this thread offering more
substantial detail other than the member being in Mexico with a low seller rating.
Beyond that is the anecdotal input of the OP and a flood of speculation. Some
of which goes too far.
If any of those bantering criminal assertions based on the somewhat scant
information made known, would like to bring the other member into the convo for
their side of the story... or at least share more of their transactional history,
well then I'm willing listen with more intent.
|
Well yes exactly that
However on a side note I just checked your store, You have 200x Tarkin heads
from a UCS set but no Torsos for that same minifig??
Conclusion is that you must have acquired them illegitimately? Well actually
no wait because that part hasn't increased in value to around $20 each those
ones are probably legitimate

|
Okay, let's go over the details
If these minifigures were sourced directly from the sets, then they would be
complete with accessories, and would have had the correct heads. On top of that,
the seller would have had to buy x4 copies of the UCS Venator, which is around
$650 USD each, or $2600 total, to be able to have x4 SW1315 Captain Rex minifigures
- the chances of ALL 4 of these sets not coming with rangefinders or the pauldrons
is slim to none
the Mexico factory is known to have issues with illegitimate minifigures being
produced (ex. the colourful Darth Vader helmets, fully-transparent minifigs,
etc. that were banned here in recent years) as well as licensed minifigures being
smuggled out in droves
These licensed minifigures do not come with capes or other loose accessories
(like rangefinders) because those accessories likely come from a different factory,
and are then bundled into a complete set later on in the production process
There are multiple places online that harbor these sellers, most notably eBay,
Instagram & Facebook groups - they openly advertise what minifigures they can
"source" in bulk, and they are then sold in bulk to 3rd parties, like
Bricklink sellers
For a small store to purchase x4 $650 UCS Venator sets, just to part out x4 Captain
Rex minifigures & sell them for ~$80 each makes no sense
I guarantee you they do not have the parts from the actual build, and only have
minifigures listed in their store (a key giveaway as well - you will NOT recoup
the $2600 by selling the minifigures in each set, it's basic math)
This happened in the past with a lot of minifigures, for example:
Daredevil from the Bugle set
Punisher from the Bugle set
Blade from the Bugle set
Commander Cody from the AT-TE
Commander Fox from the Republic Gunship
C-3PO from the UCS Landspeeder
Joker from the 2nd UCS Tumbler
Batman from the 2nd UCS Tumbler
Captain Rex from the UCS Venator
and there are a lot more examples that can be found if you spend enough time
simply browsing the catalog
There are more legitimate sellers than there are bad apples, but this leads to
the bad apples being given the benefit of the doubt & defended because they blend
in with everyone else, but only roaches scatter when you turn the lights on
|
This makes perfect sense! I honestly didn’t even put together the fact that the
pauldrons and rangefinders are produced elsewhere. It also explains why he is
not selling any of these parts separately in his store.
For the record, I google machined the seller and found his LinkedIn profile;
he does, in fact, work at the LEGO factory in Mexico.
|
I wonder what would happen if this information somehow "accidentally"
made it to TLG (for legal reasons this is sarcasm not meant to be
taken seriously)
|
I don’t know what their policy is now but back in the day, our employee store
purchases had a dollar amount limit per year. They wanted to make sure that our
purchases were for our family and that we weren’t selling them on the side. If
I remember correctly it was $500.00. Anyone caught selling them was subject to
termination.

| As we all know, getting buyers to reply to messages and/or leave feedback can
be brutal. I don't know if it's just me but my feedback response rate
fell off a cliff around early February. 83 orders and just 35 feedbacks which
drops well below the 60% rate most of us have.
I've had a few buyers with very high feedback numbers but they have left
___ZERO___ for other users. Those people are to far gone, so I decided to try
to tackle the problem with the new users.
I tend to get a lot of buyers with very low scores, so when I recently had a
few zero feedback users place orders, I decided to try something proactive and
drafted up this letter which was included in their package. Of the two I sent
it to so far, both followed the instructions. One even went back and added feedback
for other orders they placed. I sent my third one out today which is what prompted
me to go double check on the other two users.
And I know, I know, "don't worry about your feedback number more than
your feedback rating", but there are people out who see that number first
and assume that with experience comes better service and fewer hassles. It's
also just a few extra keystrokes of extra work to help improve the community
for everyone IMO.

You should not take another submitter's image, edit it, and upload it yourself.
No matter how much it needs editing. If this were possible, there would be no

You are only allowed free use of the images from LEGO.

Yes and without any evidence to back that up. The buyer simply received missing
items. Providing your own reasons/ideas as to why this may have happened is one
thing but statements like:-
"You bought minifigures illegitimately sourced from a Lego factory"
and
"Legitimate Lego, just stolen by factory workers and resold on Bricklink"
are baseless comments and pure speculation on your part
Maybe you should try to better understand the Lego Marketplace before commenting
that way it would save us both repeating ourselves.
What you have written there only shows me that you believe every part on bricklink
can only be sourced from parting out sets alone. Has it not occurred to you that
Lego manufacture excess parts for customer service purposes? What do you think
happens to those excess parts after the sets become retired and Lego no longer
support them? There will also be production run overspills that differ in quantity
for each minifig component meaning there will never be an equal number of heads
to torsos in existence for each minifig hence why some parts belonging to the
same minifig are widely available whilst others are not.
Lastly just because a seller has a good quantity of high value parts does not
mean they were not acquired legitimately. Is it so hard to believe that parts
bought relatively cheaply today can soon become high value in a few years from
now?

If these minifigures were sourced directly from the sets, then they would be

the seller would have had to buy x4 copies of the UCS Venator, which is around
$650 USD each, or $2600 total, to be able to have x4 SW1315 Captain Rex minifigures
- the chances of ALL 4 of these sets not coming with rangefinders or the pauldrons
is slim to none
the Mexico factory is known to have issues with illegitimate minifigures being
produced (ex. the colourful Darth Vader helmets, fully-transparent minifigs,
etc. that were banned here in recent years) as well as licensed minifigures being
smuggled out in droves
These licensed minifigures do not come with capes or other loose accessories
(like rangefinders) because those accessories likely come from a different factory,
and are then bundled into a complete set later on in the production process
There are multiple places online that harbor these sellers, most notably eBay,
Instagram & Facebook groups - they openly advertise what minifigures they can
"source" in bulk, and they are then sold in bulk to 3rd parties, like
Bricklink sellers
For a small store to purchase x4 $650 UCS Venator sets, just to part out x4 Captain
Rex minifigures & sell them for ~$80 each makes no sense
I guarantee you they do not have the parts from the actual build, and only have
minifigures listed in their store (a key giveaway as well - you will NOT recoup
the $2600 by selling the minifigures in each set, it's basic math)
This happened in the past with a lot of minifigures, for example:
Daredevil from the Bugle set
Punisher from the Bugle set
Blade from the Bugle set
Commander Cody from the AT-TE
Commander Fox from the Republic Gunship
C-3PO from the UCS Landspeeder
Joker from the 2nd UCS Tumbler
Batman from the 2nd UCS Tumbler
Captain Rex from the UCS Venator
and there are a lot more examples that can be found if you spend enough time
simply browsing the catalog
There are more legitimate sellers than there are bad apples, but this leads to
the bad apples being given the benefit of the doubt & defended because they blend
in with everyone else, but only roaches scatter when you turn the lights on
|
This makes perfect sense! I honestly didn’t even put together the fact that the
pauldrons and rangefinders are produced elsewhere. It also explains why he is
not selling any of these parts separately in his store.
For the record, I google machined the seller and found his LinkedIn profile;
he does, in fact, work at the LEGO factory in Mexico.

I wonder what would happen if this information somehow "accidentally"
made it to TLG (for legal reasons this is sarcasm not meant to be
taken seriously)

Buy 40 sets? The limit is only on LEGO and at the store (I think), but other

It looks like they are located in the same area (Monterey) as the Mexican factory.
Either they work there, or knows someone that does.
All new minifigs, including 12 year old ones, with no parts from the related

It wasn’t hard to figure out the store name

Get over there and check it out and buy, wait if you buy it I can't. Well,

Your random assumptions don't really help anybody. Stick to the facts.....
The facts are that the buyer has received missing items. Everything you have

| | I’m feeling a bit desperate and could really use help with an issue I’m having
with a seller. I purchased 7 minifigures from their store (2 Clone Trooper sw1304,
4 Clone Trooper Captain Rex sw1315, and 1 Sabine Wren sw1303. They arrived over
a month later, and both Clone Troopers had incorrect heads and no visors, all
4 Captain Rex were missing their pauldrons and rangefinders, and Sabine is missing
her rangefinder. When I reached out to the seller, he said those items are not
included because they are “accessories” and not part of the minifigure (the listings
say “does not include accessories”). I have explained repeatedly that everything
listed in a minifigure’s inventory is part of the minifigure, and I have sent
links to BrickLink’s policies to no avail. He is refusing to do anything to remedy
this situation. I filed an NSS and a claim with PayPal, which he is disputing.
My biggest concern is that PayPal likely doesn’t have the time to investigate
the nuances of minifigure inventory or BL policies. He is refusing to acknowledge
this, and claims my interpretation of the policies is incorrect. This hell loop
is seriously stressing me out. Can anyone please offer some guidance on how to
handle this?
Here are some exchanges with the seller:
Hello,
I just received my order, and there are multiple problems:
Both of the 2 Clone Trooper sw1304 have the WRONG HEADS. They came with
Chancellor Palpatine sw1306 heads. They are also missing their visors.
All 4 of the Clone Trooper Captain Rex figs are MISSING PAULDRONS and range
finders
Please let me know as soon as possible when you can ship all the missing items.
Since shipping took a long time, can these be shipped with Priority Mail or Express
Shipping?
I look forward to hearing from you.
I list in each sales publication it is specific how the minifigure comes, in
some cases with a lack of accessories and that is why the prices are so low,
although everything is new, you just can't get all the accessories.
Your way of interpreting it is wrong, when you buy a product you must carefully
check its conditions, from the moment you are buying a minifigure you are not
buying a complete set, a Lego minifigure is made up of 1 mini upper part, 1 lower
part , 1 head, and as an extra 1 helmet or hair. And so that you are well informed,
a minifigure is not a product that Lego sells, it is part of a product that Lego
sells.
What you say about shoulder pads, capes and so on, they are accessories, and
in the specifications I say: without accessories.
|
Well regardless of whether the seller believes they are accessories or not and
regardless of whether they put in their item description that accessories were
not included:-
A) They should have been more specific about what wasn't included as accessories

I agree with most of what you’re saying, but I didn’t illegitimately buy anything.
|
maybe not knowingly but it is still most likely stolen goods
|
Just stop with the childish behavior, guys. Without having more complete details
from both parties, it's boarding on slanderous if the identity of the other
member should be publicly exposed, inadvertently or otherwise.
|
You are over thinking again
|
Let me place an order with you. If I'm then so inclined, I'll publicly
promote the idea that you deal in "stolen goods" If you're okay with
that criminal accusation, I'll place my order now?
|
Why did you close your store. Do you not what an order from me under the aforementioned
terms?
|
Me oh my you are the grumpy one today.
I have said for the last 2 weeks that my store would be closed today. But if
you have a important order that you need right away I may be able to help.
|
Sure, open it up. Let's see how I then publicly declare the legitimacy
of your product. Might be stolen, counterfeit, falsely advertised, etc. Who knows,
right? That's for me alone to slanderously and publicly announce
|
If you want something just message me and I will see if I can get it to you
|
Stop with the cutesy time. As I said, open in up. I'll publicly judge the
"legitimacy" of your product fairly.
|
do you have any proof that anything could not be "legitimate"? the items
in question aren't just some random items for sale. lets look at a (probably
bad) explanation to help explain. its like if there were 2 stores selling for
example a flashlight with a wristband holder. Store 1 has the flashlight with
the wristband holder but store 2 has just the flashlight for sale.
Now for this example lets say there is a criminal group that works at the flashlight
factory that makes the flashlight part but not the wristband part. then large
quantities of the flashlights without wristbands are showing up on the market
being sold by un affiliated groups and all of them are missing the wristbands.
also, these flashlights aren't being sold as defects by the company to these
sellers and are not being taken from the company in any legal way. what would
your conclusion be? I know if I looked at all of this I would say store 1 is
getting them legitamly and store 2 is not.
I know i probably explained something wrong but hopefully, the point makes sense.
we are not just randomly saying on this is fake or that is fake. we look at all
the info that is very publically available and come to the conclusion we do
|
As I said; stop it.
All the backpedaling will not negate: https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1462540
"maybe not knowingly but it is still most likely stolen goods"
without your acknowledgment of the statement's inappropriateness within the
same context.
|
what exactly is "inappropriate" about looking at a very common scenario
and saying what it most likely is?
|
Good question.

Alright, I will be open for 15mins
I have a trip that I'm going on so I can't be tied to this site for days.

Okay, let's go over the details
If these minifigures were sourced directly from the sets, then they would be
complete with accessories, and would have had the correct heads. On top of that,
the seller would have had to buy x4 copies of the UCS Venator, which is around
$650 USD each, or $2600 total, to be able to have x4 SW1315 Captain Rex minifigures
- the chances of ALL 4 of these sets not coming with rangefinders or the pauldrons
is slim to none
the Mexico factory is known to have issues with illegitimate minifigures being
produced (ex. the colourful Darth Vader helmets, fully-transparent minifigs,
etc. that were banned here in recent years) as well as licensed minifigures being
smuggled out in droves
These licensed minifigures do not come with capes or other loose accessories
(like rangefinders) because those accessories likely come from a different factory,
and are then bundled into a complete set later on in the production process
There are multiple places online that harbor these sellers, most notably eBay,
Instagram & Facebook groups - they openly advertise what minifigures they can
"source" in bulk, and they are then sold in bulk to 3rd parties, like
Bricklink sellers
For a small store to purchase x4 $650 UCS Venator sets, just to part out x4 Captain
Rex minifigures & sell them for ~$80 each makes no sense
I guarantee you they do not have the parts from the actual build, and only have
minifigures listed in their store (a key giveaway as well - you will NOT recoup
the $2600 by selling the minifigures in each set, it's basic math)
This happened in the past with a lot of minifigures, for example:
Daredevil from the Bugle set
Punisher from the Bugle set
Blade from the Bugle set
Commander Cody from the AT-TE
Commander Fox from the Republic Gunship
C-3PO from the UCS Landspeeder
Joker from the 2nd UCS Tumbler
Batman from the 2nd UCS Tumbler
Captain Rex from the UCS Venator
and there are a lot more examples that can be found if you spend enough time
simply browsing the catalog
There are more legitimate sellers than there are bad apples, but this leads to
the bad apples being given the benefit of the doubt & defended because they blend
in with everyone else, but only roaches scatter when you turn the lights on
|
well put. based on all the available info the most likely scenario is they are
Mexico nightshift figures. its not a random claim to say they are most likely
stolen. it is based on all the available evidence from a problem that is by no
means unique and is incredibly common over the past few years

| | Hello everyone!
I would like to upload in my inventory several used 3004 parts (so far 95% of
my inventory is new).
When separating, I have noticed that I have few different bottoms:
- The common one (first picture) is with bottom tube.
- The second one (second picture) is with bottom tube, but with the tube "empty"
(not sure if there is a specific word/characteristic for this...).
- The third one (third picture) seems to be an old version.
- Then, the fourth one seems to be a very old version of 3065.
My question is, how do I upload them? Altogether under 3004 without any remark
(in the case that they are all in good condition...)?
I have read in the forum that people do not like to have different entries for
the same part (only one for new and one for used), so... I would like to avoid
having many entries for 3004 used but, at the same time, would you be happy receiving
10x 3004 where 8x have normal bottom and 2x "empty(?)" bottom?
Also, what if some parts are in mint condition and some others are with some
scratches? How do you normally differentiate them in your shops?
Sorry for the long question, but hope I made the point!
Thanks a lot!

Hollow peg, solid peg, etc. There are buyers who prefer older versions and will

you point to them, please?

Please accept my apologizes, it was UTLF's remark and - of course - Saitobricks

Maybe part of this?

Anyway, who cares?
My own point was that I was really surprised to realize / understand in a video
that English (which is almost my favorite language, I've almost never seen
a video in French), is so much derived from french or latin...
And yes, we're happy (not proud?) to have latin and greek as base of our
language. It links us with a big part of the History - I guess, as History and
such aren't my domain, sorry.
That's it pal!

I agree with most of what you’re saying, but I didn’t illegitimately buy anything.
I just looked at his store inventory, and he has several Employee Exclusive sets
for sale, so I’m wondering if he works at the LEGO facility in Mexico. He had
100% positive feedback when I made my purchase, but I’m now seeing that his feedback
was likely from a friend or second account. I have made dozens of purchases from
sellers in Canada that have been exceptional, so I didn’t feel I should over
scrutinize purchasing from a seller in Mexico. I’ve completed over 300 transactions
without incident, but I will obviously be more cautious moving forward.

Thanks for responding. The seller just sent me a “one time offer” - he claims
he will issue a refund for the items (minus shipping) if I pay to ship it to
his location in Mexico. He says he will only issue the refund once he receives

mhm, id 100% wait for Paypal to say what to do. they will likely say you have
to return it at your expense but then you are guaranteed a refund.
also, if any admins are reading this, this sellers seems to perfectly fit the
bill for one of the Mexico factory sellers so it may be prudent to look into
them.

After the failure of its Trionicles line, the Lego Group (TLG) decided to throw
its hat into the ring of online dating. "And where better than BrickLink,
our site for new and used Lego™ parts?" asked Susan Williams, head of TLG's
Consumer Services division since 1978. "Prospective dating partners will
have the opportunity to list themselves as 'New' or 'Used'",
corresponding to BrickLink's most general category. Ms. Williams did add,
however, that some of the best-known features of BrickLink will be missing from
BrickLink Dating™. "We have no plans at the moment to implement any sort
of color scheme."

They do, however, plan to implement involuntary merging.

| You are correct, the minifig should come with everything listed as its inventory
parts on bricklink. I sell a lot of clone troopers and always make sure visors,
backpacks and range finders are included if specified for that figure. How specific
was the seller in stating some parts were missing? "no accessories" you
could reasonably assume this to mean guns or lightsabers, etc. so that wouldn't
defend his actions.
Have you asked for a refund or been offered this as an option from the seller?
paypal will likely just ask you to send the items back and refund you but I
believe you would ship at your own expense.

| | I’m feeling a bit desperate and could really use help with an issue I’m having
with a seller. I purchased 7 minifigures from their store (2 Clone Trooper sw1304,
4 Clone Trooper Captain Rex sw1315, and 1 Sabine Wren sw1303. They arrived over
a month later, and both Clone Troopers had incorrect heads and no visors, all
4 Captain Rex were missing their pauldrons and rangefinders, and Sabine is missing
her rangefinder. When I reached out to the seller, he said those items are not
included because they are “accessories” and not part of the minifigure (the listings
say “does not include accessories”). I have explained repeatedly that everything
listed in a minifigure’s inventory is part of the minifigure, and I have sent
links to BrickLink’s policies to no avail. He is refusing to do anything to remedy
this situation. I filed an NSS and a claim with PayPal, which he is disputing.
My biggest concern is that PayPal likely doesn’t have the time to investigate
the nuances of minifigure inventory or BL policies. He is refusing to acknowledge
this, and claims my interpretation of the policies is incorrect. This hell loop
is seriously stressing me out. Can anyone please offer some guidance on how to
handle this?
Here are some exchanges with the seller:
Hello,
I just received my order, and there are multiple problems:
Both of the 2 Clone Trooper sw1304 have the WRONG HEADS. They came with
Chancellor Palpatine sw1306 heads. They are also missing their visors.
All 4 of the Clone Trooper Captain Rex figs are MISSING PAULDRONS and range
finders
Please let me know as soon as possible when you can ship all the missing items.
Since shipping took a long time, can these be shipped with Priority Mail or Express
Shipping?
I look forward to hearing from you.
I list in each sales publication it is specific how the minifigure comes, in
some cases with a lack of accessories and that is why the prices are so low,
although everything is new, you just can't get all the accessories.
Your way of interpreting it is wrong, when you buy a product you must carefully
check its conditions, from the moment you are buying a minifigure you are not
buying a complete set, a Lego minifigure is made up of 1 mini upper part, 1 lower
part , 1 head, and as an extra 1 helmet or hair. And so that you are well informed,
a minifigure is not a product that Lego sells, it is part of a product that Lego
sells.
What you say about shoulder pads, capes and so on, they are accessories, and
in the specifications I say: without accessories.

These most definitely qualify as best-worst . these were made as a bootleg
to Mattel's Masters of the Universe toy line from 1982. they featured gaudy
color schemes, translucent torsos with water and glitter in them, and by pressing
a small button in the back, the water and glitter would swish around, and cause
"Magic action"
LOL these are probably the worst! the main villain was named Dethlor, and was
the leader of the evil space aliens, and the hero's name was simply Hero,
obviously a knock off of He-Man. the reason why Dethlor is significant however,
he sometimes uses 1984 Man-E-Face's blaster accessory from the Masters of
The universe line. in a silver or blue color. the figures are extremely rare
and are worth a fortune believe it or not!
Post your favorites below!

this situation. I filed an NSS and a claim with PayPal, which he is disputing.
My biggest concern is that PayPal likely doesn’t have the time to investigate
the nuances of minifigure inventory or BL policies. He is refusing to acknowledge
this, and claims my interpretation of the policies is incorrect. This hell loop
is seriously stressing me out. Can anyone please offer some guidance on how to
handle this?
Here are some exchanges with the seller:
Hello,
I just received my order, and there are multiple problems:
Both of the 2 Clone Trooper sw1304 have the WRONG HEADS. They came with
Chancellor Palpatine sw1306 heads. They are also missing their visors.
All 4 of the Clone Trooper Captain Rex figs are MISSING PAULDRONS and range
finders
Please let me know as soon as possible when you can ship all the missing items.
Since shipping took a long time, can these be shipped with Priority Mail or Express
Shipping?
I look forward to hearing from you.
I list in each sales publication it is specific how the minifigure comes, in
some cases with a lack of accessories and that is why the prices are so low,
although everything is new, you just can't get all the accessories.
Your way of interpreting it is wrong, when you buy a product you must carefully
check its conditions, from the moment you are buying a minifigure you are not
buying a complete set, a Lego minifigure is made up of 1 mini upper part, 1 lower
part , 1 head, and as an extra 1 helmet or hair. And so that you are well informed,
a minifigure is not a product that Lego sells, it is part of a product that Lego
sells.
What you say about shoulder pads, capes and so on, they are accessories, and
in the specifications I say: without accessories.

That's quite a lot of drawers.
Do you store Lego inside your drawers or do you store drawers inside Lego?

usually the second option i love building lego boxes to store my

whatever option you use, I hope you already know the meaning of DDP when you

its delivery duty paid right?

what does it mean in practice? what happens?

basically, all costs in the shipping process go to the seller instead of the

I saw it only on Stallion Express so far.
To make sure: if you ship a $700-order to a European country with "APC priority
worldwide track (DDP)" , what would happen then?
|
if the buyer was charged tax on delivery. lets go with 20% which seems to be
normal in Europe then you would be stuck with the $140 bill plus any other import/brokerage
fees. in my experience, this is usually charged in advance on the checkout screen
when buying the label based on the value you entered in the customs value field

I shipped in Nov. that order to Belgium. Since the value was above 150 Euro,
Bricklink did not collect anything. The buyer received the order and what I did
not know is that he was not charged anything. Two weeks ago, $155 CAD was deducted
from my balance on Stallion Express.
I then checked if I shipped any other order with this DDP option and found about
10 of them but apparently, import fees of those orders were already deducted
by BL and my documentation and submission of VAT number had worked. If one day
of a country like one of those Easter European country, somebody mess up and
they don't get the documentation of already-paid-VAT and decide to double
charge the buyer, then the seller (me and you) would be charged VAT.
I am now seeing all my orders to Australia are shipped via "APC priority
worldwide track (DDP)" and if one day somebody, either Aust. Post or Australian custom office messes up, I would be charged the already-paid-import-Fees! Or I can ship the orders to Australia for $20 extra cost with the second cheapest option that is not DDP.

|
| Hello everyone!
I would like to upload in my inventory several used 3004 parts (so far 95% of
my inventory is new).
When separating, I have noticed that I have few different bottoms:
- The common one (first picture) is with bottom tube.
- The second one (second picture) is with bottom tube, but with the tube "empty"
(not sure if there is a specific word/characteristic for this...).
- The third one (third picture) seems to be an old version.
- Then, the fourth one seems to be a very old version of 3065.
My question is, how do I upload them? Altogether under 3004 without any remark
(in the case that they are all in good condition...)?
I have read in the forum that people do not like to have different entries for
the same part (only one for new and one for used), so... I would like to avoid
having many entries for 3004 used but, at the same time, would you be happy receiving
10x 3004 where 8x have normal bottom and 2x "empty(?)" bottom?
Also, what if some parts are in mint condition and some others are with some
scratches? How do you normally differentiate them in your shops?
Sorry for the long question, but hope I made the point!
Thanks a lot!

I put them back in the same spot.
I then query my inventory using XML exports and excel when doing an upload to
find the most empty drawers. I have all my drawer numbers hard coded into the
query and if it returns an error saying it can't find a particular drawer,
then the code changes that drawer's weight to 0g or empty.

These most definitely qualify as best-worst . these were made as a bootleg

color schemes, translucent torsos with water and glitter in them, and by pressing
a small button in the back, the water and glitter would swish around, and cause
"Magic action"
LOL these are probably the worst! the main villain was named Dethlor, and was
the leader of the evil space aliens, and the hero's name was simply Hero,
obviously a knock off of He-Man. the reason why Dethlor is significant however,
he sometimes uses 1984 Man-E-Face's blaster accessory from the Masters of
The universe line. in a silver or blue color. the figures are extremely rare
and are worth a fortune believe it or not!

Another of my favorites would have to be Sun-Man and the Rulers of The Sun line
by Olmec. and Furerza-T by Top Toys. Sun-Man was an interesting knock-off, because
of the fact that it was totally unique, and at the same time, Mattle has recently
reissued them for MOTU origins therefore making them an official product and
bringing it into the He-Man universe. Furerza-T, was made in Argentina using
official Mattle He-Man molds, at the same time making new characters from existing
molds.

This one is very interesting about language and ethymolgy:
https://www.youtube.com/@RobWords/videos
Especially this one, where you discover that maybe 60% of English words are either
French or Latin, and 25% only Germanic...
|
I happen to know most French words come from Latin
|
We know this, maybe 80%?
The point is we're proud of it, know it and don't deny it.

Nor should you deny that which is factual...
What I admire foremost about you Sylvain, is that you hang your feelings and
thoughts out there for all to take as they wish. I find that admirable. Though
having said that, maybe save your pride for more relevant and perhaps
more personal accomplishments, over those you've culturally inherited
I've got historical points I could tout within my direct American lineage,
but somehow just don't feel worthy enough to do so. After all, not my doings.
Coattails, and all that...

That's quite a lot of drawers.
Do you store Lego inside your drawers or do you store drawers inside Lego?
|
usually the second option i love building lego boxes to store my
drawers!
|
whatever option you use, I hope you already know the meaning of DDP when you
ship with Stallion.
|
its delivery duty paid right?
|
what does it mean in practice? what happens?
|
basically, all costs in the shipping process go to the seller instead of the
buyer. I'm not sure why you specifically mentioned station tho as chit chats
and Canada post also have DDP
|
I saw it only on Stallion Express so far.
To make sure: if you ship a $700-order to a European country with "APC priority
worldwide track (DDP)" , what would happen then?

| ENFIELD, Conn. - April 1, 2024 - Announcing BrickLink Dating™
After the failure of its Trionicles line, the Lego Group (TLG) decided to throw
its hat into the ring of online dating. "And where better than BrickLink,
our site for new and used Lego™ parts?" asked Susan Williams, head of TLG's
Consumer Services division since 1978. "Prospective dating partners will
have the opportunity to list themselves as 'New' or 'Used'",
corresponding to BrickLink's most general category. Ms. Williams did add,
however, that some of the best-known features of BrickLink will be missing from
BrickLink Dating™. "We have no plans at the moment to implement any sort
of color scheme."

Sensible. Put it forward as a Suggestion post, I say.

Buyer also can be too kind and post immediately a positive feedback when having

If a buyer ordered 10 lots and received a package filled with wrapped paper(tracking

a package is received but not showing the content of package), would any NSS
get removed by BL?
If a buyer ordered 10 lots and received a package including only 6 lots but missing
4 lots, would any NSS get removed by BL?
If a buyer ordered 10 lots of new items and received a package including the
parts all in used condition, would any NSS get removed by BL?

Of course NO to all of this.
If a buyer receives a pile of beach sand, lesser items or not of the announced
quality ( eg: "New" ), then the NSS will NOT be removed.
Then either the buyer or the seller has, I guess, to bring proofs - like pictures.
In case nobody shows any proof of anything, I guess BrickLink transactions quantity
and Feedback history profiles may weight in the decision...
Or, as PayPal, BrickLink may favor the buyer if no proof can be provided.
I don't know.
All I know is that it must cost a lot in terms of human time and decision to
BrickLink.
Imagine half a million members, and 1/1000 having "some transaction problem"
every day?
Plus of course a ton of other problems not linked to a specific transaction...
Then you realize Help Desk can quickly be overloaded.
|
Thanks but this is for Admin_russel to clarify what he meant "if a buyer
receives the order, any NSS on that order is removed."
|
I guess you're misinterpreting?
If buyer receives a pound of sand instead of a LEGO Star Wars, received or not,
the NSS will stand.
Or I don't comprehend anything.
But sincerely I don't think so.

| what is your favorite bootleg toy, action figure, movie, or video game? post
pics! My personal favorite would have to be the Speclatron toy line from 1984.
These most definitely qualify as best-worst . these were made as a bootleg
to Mattel's Masters of the Universe toy line from 1982. they featured gaudy
color schemes, translucent torsos with water and glitter in them, and by pressing
a small button in the back, the water and glitter would swish around, and cause
"Magic action"
LOL these are probably the worst! the main villain was named Dethlor, and was
the leader of the evil space aliens, and the hero's name was simply Hero,
obviously a knock off of He-Man. the reason why Dethlor is significant however,
he sometimes uses 1984 Man-E-Face's blaster accessory from the Masters of
The universe line. in a silver or blue color. the figures are extremely rare
and are worth a fortune believe it or not!
Post your favorites below!

If a buyer ordered 10 lots and received a package filled with wrapped paper(tracking

a package is received but not showing the content of package), would any NSS
get removed by BL?
If a buyer ordered 10 lots and received a package including only 6 lots but missing
4 lots, would any NSS get removed by BL?
If a buyer ordered 10 lots of new items and received a package including the
parts all in used condition, would any NSS get removed by BL?

Of course NO to all of this.
If a buyer receives a pile of beach sand, lesser items or not of the announced
quality ( eg: "New" ), then the NSS will NOT be removed.
Then either the buyer or the seller has, I guess, to bring proofs - like pictures.
In case nobody shows any proof of anything, I guess BrickLink transactions quantity
and Feedback history profiles may weight in the decision...
Or, as PayPal, BrickLink may favor the buyer if no proof can be provided.
I don't know.
All I know is that it must cost a lot in terms of human time and decision to
BrickLink.
Imagine half a million members, and 1/1000 having "some transaction problem"
every day?
Plus of course a ton of other problems not linked to a specific transaction...
Then you realize Help Desk can quickly be overloaded.

Thanks but this is for Admin_russel to clarify what he meant "if a buyer
receives the order, any NSS on that order is removed."
Of course, if the order is complete and correct any NSS should be removed. This
is obvious so I guess what can be implied but what he wrote is that even if the
package is not complete, any NSS would be removed. So what if it is not complete
like those three situations I mentioned?

| | I’m having a hard time with this, as I’ve been trying to buy some specific parts
missing from some sets and 2 times now, I’ve ordered specific parts, added on
a few others to meet the minimum buy for the seller and the seller sends me a
message AFTER shipping that they don’t have or can’t find the parts I actually
needed and still shipped the package. They provide a refund for the missing
parts, but those were the only reason I was buying in the first place.
Is that common business practice, to communicate after shipping that parts are
missing? Would this warrant less than positive feedback?
Newer member here, just seeking some help
|
As a seller, I never shipped if I find something missing, broken,... I let the
buyer know so they can make a decision. If they agree, I ship but I refund the
missing parts but I don't decrease shipping costs (unless if the package's
shipping costs turns to be lower than what It would have been with missing parts).
As a buyer, I leave a note:
"the part A and B,... are vital for this order. They are the reason I order.
Please do not ship if they are missing".
I always order from sellers with high feedback record. But this practice still
happen to me. Last time, I ordered 23 lots (41 parts) mostly minifig's parts.
The seller wrote me:
"Hi
Your order is packed. Unfortunately, there was a mistake in my inventory and
I'm missing 2 x blue 4275b therefore I refunded the parts to you.
I'm really sorry about that and hope you'll still have a good experience
with my store.
Have a nice day.
"
I was initially considering expressing my dissatisfaction, but instead, I decided
to use sarcasm:
Hi,
Thank you for letting me know about these missing bricks before you ship the
order. There are very few orders with top service like yours, who let buyers
know about missing parts before they ship.
Unfortunately, there are also many stores who just refund missing parts, leave
a message, and ship the rest of order. Those stores apparently don't care
at all that those few missing bricks could be the main/sole reason for the buyer
to submit the order and pay S&H and the other parts were added but they were
not necessary. I am glad you are not like one of those sellers.
There is no problem with these missing parts and they were not vital to my order.
You can go ahead and ship the order. Thanks again,

I do not run into not having all parts ordered often but EVERY time I have messaged

I do not see why a buyer is expected to or should have to add a note stating

Of course it is best that s seller contacts the buyer if they are missing parts.
But not all sellers do. So if some parts are especially important to the buyer
then indicating this makes sure the seller is aware of it.
It is not always as simple as they need / want all the parts in the order. I
just placed an order with a store, I only need about half the items I ordered.
The other parts are cheap enough, so I'll buy them even though I don't
need them right now. But I wouldn't place the order just for those extra
parts.

Agreed! The dots and circles, the red arrows aren't identical on both versions!

Joking aside, I can’t see what difference the arrows are supposed to point to.
Circles’ diff seem to be either that:
— there’s a bolt in one version but not the other (but maybe it’s hidden by the
circle,
— or there’s no black line at the bottom… but that could just be a slight misalignment

April 1, 2024 9:31 AM PDT
LOS ANGELES—On Monday morning, Ynon Kreiz, CEO of Mattel, Inc., publicly announced
his intention to purchase BrickLink, Inc. from the LEGO Group.
Mattel is the owner of MEGA Brands, the manufacturer and distributor of MEGA
BLOKS construction toys. BrickLink is an online platform where users can buy
and sell LEGO®-brand products.
The announcement comes in the wake of the BrickLink administration's decision
to remove many older products from the platform, a decision which upset a small
minority of its clients.
After a series of negotiations and research from a neutral third-party market
valuation firm, the two sides have agreed on a final price tag of 2.19 USD.
The deal is expected to close by the end of July 2042, after BrickLink provides
the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration with some much-needed
paperwork in order to complete the deal.
In the meantime, Mattel plans to begin removing all LEGO®-brand products from
the platform and replacing them with their MEGA-brand equivalent, if available.
Kreiz has assured the public that all of BrickLink's 28 employees will be
retained for the forseeable future, including longtime administrator Russell
Callender.

Start with looking at the minifigs from this set to establish some of the available

It contains quite a few different skin tone heads with matching hands. If you

Slight correction.
I meant most customers don’t care about responding if contacted that a small
part is missing. Based on the very low response rate it seems most take it as
kinda an “announcement” that they hear but nothing else.

Welcome to bricklink!
The best way may to be to do some searches like “medium nougat head”, “reddish
brown head”, etc and look thru the options looking at ones that look right to
you and are in your budget then adding them to a wanted list, then for the hands
go to the hand page and choose the colours you want and qty and add them to the
same wanted list. Then navigate to your wanted list and choose buy all and look

| | Hi Nubs (or anyone else),
I see that this thread is set to "Completed", but I was wondering if
there is any other method to convincingly tell parts 30366pb02 and 30366pb03
apart.
I have seven of these that I have pulled from various bulk lots. The pattern
colour appears to be LBG, which corresponds to pb03, yet the lines on all seven
are thin and defined, which corresponds to pb02. In the BrickLink comparison
image, the "thick" lines for the LBG version are not apparent on any
of my seven.
I did find the alternate number 42018 on two of the seven, making those two the
LBG pb03 version, yet this does not conclusively prove which version the other
five are.
Furthermore, it was noted that in the BL comparison image, there is a black diagonal
line closing off the bottom triangles near the horizontal inverted studs near
the base on the LBG pb03 version, yet this bottom line is missing on the LG pb02
version. In my seven, I see that five do have the line and two do not, but once
again, the colour tone for all seven really looks like LBG. Is the presence/absence
of this horizontal line just a printing error, or is it a conclusive difference
between the LG and LBG versions?
Any guidance will be appreciated,
Dennis

It looks like the easy way to tell them apart are to look at those "dots"
around the window.
Do remember that both LG and LBG has color variants.
pb03 have Black dots
pb02 have Black circles

The red 2x4 brick is, not sure why you're asking about that one.
|
It can hardly stick to other bricks, what about the flag or the trans-clear thing?

Let me guess…there is ‘pat pend’ on the bottom.
These bricks can look beautiful on the outside but hardly have clutch power.
So it is the real thing but an older kind of selfbinding bricks that aren’t binding
well.

Makes sense, what about the Trans-clear and the flag?

April 1, 2024 9:31 AM PDT
LOS ANGELES—On Monday morning, Ynon Kreiz, CEO of Mattel, Inc., publicly announced
his intention to purchase BrickLink, Inc. from the LEGO Group.
Mattel is the owner of MEGA Brands, the manufacturer and distributor of MEGA
BLOKS construction toys. BrickLink is an online platform where users can buy
and sell LEGO®-brand products.
The announcement comes in the wake of the BrickLink administration's decision
to remove many older products from the platform, a decision which upset a small
minority of its clients.
After a series of negotiations and research from a neutral third-party market
valuation firm, the two sides have agreed on a final price tag of 2.19 USD.
The deal is expected to close by the end of July 2042, after BrickLink provides
the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration with some much-needed
paperwork in order to complete the deal.
In the meantime, Mattel plans to begin removing all LEGO®-brand products from
the platform and replacing them with their MEGA-brand equivalent, if available.
Kreiz has assured the public that all of BrickLink's 28 employees will be
retained for the forseeable future, including longtime administrator Russell
Callender.

(IANAL, I’m not an accountant, I’m not talking for BL, I’m not talking for LEGO,
I may be a cat.)
The help page: https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=2550
also links to: https://taxation-customs.ec.europa.eu/online-sellers_en
The €10k threshold replaces the previous by-country thresholds for non-domestic
sales, so it works the same way, and that’s the same way as domestic sales: it’s
your total sales.
BrickLink and PayPal fees are parts of your costs, exactly like buying the LEGO
you sell. You don’t remove your costs from your sales when you consider your
total sales.
Postage is a cost too. There’s rare cases where it can be excluded but they
don’t apply on BL.

Gotta say, I'm entirely unimpressed with whomever has been handling the functionality
of the website. Some very strange failures and glitches over the last year or
so, not just with security.

the trans clear piece appears to be 98613. but it as never made in that color.
and it seams to some extra plastic at the end. so it is probably a bootleg from
Mexico or china.

| Hi Nubs (or anyone else),
I see that this thread is set to "Completed", but I was wondering if
there is any other method to convincingly tell parts 30366pb02 and 30366pb03
apart.
I have seven of these that I have pulled from various bulk lots. The pattern
colour appears to be LBG, which corresponds to pb03, yet the lines on all seven
are thin and defined, which corresponds to pb02. In the BrickLink comparison
image, the "thick" lines for the LBG version are not apparent on any
of my seven.
I did find the alternate number 42018 on two of the seven, making those two the
LBG pb03 version, yet this does not conclusively prove which version the other
five are.
Furthermore, it was noted that in the BL comparison image, there is a black diagonal
line closing off the bottom triangles near the horizontal inverted studs near
the base on the LBG pb03 version, yet this bottom line is missing on the LG pb02
version. In my seven, I see that five do have the line and two do not, but once
again, the colour tone for all seven really looks like LBG. Is the presence/absence
of this horizontal line just a printing error, or is it a conclusive difference
between the LG and LBG versions?
Any guidance will be appreciated,
Dennis

LOS ANGELES—On Monday morning, Ynon Kreiz, CEO of Mattel, Inc., publicly announced
his intention to purchase BrickLink, Inc. from the LEGO Group.
Mattel is the owner of MEGA Brands, the manufacturer and distributor of MEGA
BLOKS construction toys. BrickLink is an online platform where users can buy
and sell LEGO®-brand products.
The announcement comes in the wake of the BrickLink administration's decision
to remove many older products from the platform, a decision which upset a small
minority of its clients.
After a series of negotiations and research from a neutral third-party market
valuation firm, the two sides have agreed on a final price tag of 2.19 USD.
The deal is expected to close by the end of July 2042, after BrickLink provides
the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration with some much-needed
paperwork in order to complete the deal.
In the meantime, Mattel plans to begin removing all LEGO®-brand products from
the platform and replacing them with their MEGA-brand equivalent, if available.
Kreiz has assured the public that all of BrickLink's 28 employees will be
retained for the forseeable future, including longtime administrator Russell
Callender.

The red 2x4 brick is, not sure why you're asking about that one.

It can hardly stick to other bricks, what about the flag or the trans-clear thing?

Let me guess…there is ‘pat pend’ on the bottom.
These bricks can look beautiful on the outside but hardly have clutch power.
So it is the real thing but an older kind of selfbinding bricks that aren’t binding
well.

This was my first time as well.
I built a model of my childhood home.
Just over 8,000 pieces.
All added to a wanted list, imported from stud.io.
This equated to 27 different stores and carts.
I paid about $1,200 for pieces; and about $160 in shipping.
I agree. It wasn't the best experience.
I still have two stores which have refused to ship or respond.
BUT....
1) Do I have all my pieces? Yes.
2) Did I somehow receive "mysterious" quantities? Yes. I think this
has to do with an individual store requiring a minimum amount or quantity (which,
from what I can tell, get's automatically adjusted. You REALLY have to pay
attention to your individual store carts).
3) Did I meet two OUTSTANDING store sellers? YES!! And I will continue to try
to order from only these two stores in the future.
So... your miles may vary. But that's been my experience with a fairly large
first time order.

to refer back to my model to see if I was ordering the correct number. I was
hoping it would be more streamlined. Like Bricklink just finds the parts wherever
they might be, puts the correct amount of parts in your cart, you place your
order, and then they figure out where they are coming from on the back end. I
would accept a larger flat rate shipping charge if they would just handle that
stuff for us.

Try creating a wanted list with all the parts you need, then hit the instant

If every British person that buys from him complains, then chances are he sends
poor quality parts.
Can't you just file a cancellation request, if he refuses then report for
not allowing paypal even though it is offered. Asking for IBAN when offering
paypal is no different to offering PayPal then demanding friends and family.

| | Bonjour à tous,
Je viens de me réinscrire (j'ai perdu mon compte créé courant 2014).
Je suis dans le sud-est, proche Avignon. Mon thème préféré est Castle, notamment
les minifigs dimension "armée". Je collectionnais par ailleurs les minifigs
jusqu'à la série 18.
Je vais reprendre cette collection, tout comme les sets purs Castle / Kingdoms
et ceux qui l'abordent (Ideas, Creator etc).
Je recherche idéalement les séries minifigs dans les blisters scellés.
Je dispose de doublons toutes séries confondues et séries complètes (série 15
scellée, Batman 1 scellée, série Ninjago (certains ont été ouverts).
Je lorgne sur le set 10305, et vise la série 71022 Harry Potter 1 puis toutes
celles qui ont suivi.
Au plaisir d'échanger et partager les bons tuyaux.

Hello,
Si t'aimes le thème Castle, le set 10305 est un sacré florilège de tout ce
qu'a produit Lego sous ce thème. Si on fait la chronologie de chaque grand
set de chateaux, on peut trouver que les designer ont essayer de recombiner chaque
éléments/originalités. Et après ça, ils ont tout rempli de détails, d'acessoires.
J'ai bien trouvé quelques critiques "négatives", mais à mon avis
elles proviennent d'AFOLs qui ont largement dépassé le seuil de qualité Lego
officiel (dont certains qui assument de chipoter par principe de trouver quelque
chose)
Outre son prix... Ce qu'il faut envisager c'est le volume qu'il occupera
chez toi une fois monté.
Hauteur : 40 cm ; Largeur : 40 cm ; Longueur : 71 cm (et pèse bien 5kg)
Selon la manière dont tu voudrais l'exposer, ça peut s'avérer compliqué.
Par exemple, dans le catalogue ikea, il n'y a pas d'éléments tout à fait
adaptés à ce format. (Ou j'ai pas encore trouvé)
Les bibliothèques Billy sont assez larges (80cm) mais pas assez profondes. Les
éléments Eket, BEsta ne sont pas assez larges (35~60 cm). D'autres n'ont
pas de possibilités d'avoir de porte vitrées (de quoi voir Et garder à l'abri
de la poussière). ça rentre dans des éléments de pendries mais leur profondeur
est démesurée...
J'ai trouvé que les bibliothèques Tonstad (avec portes coulissantes), 225€..
Et, heu, bof...
Bref, si tu te cherches un argument pour te raisonner, en voici un tout trouvé.
Si tu investis dans cette brique, je te conseille aussi d'investir dans un
"pinceau brosse éventail" pour l'entretenir.

| This reads more like changing of terms AFTER the order was placed.
THAT is what starts of an entire cascade of incorrect steps including the taking
hostage of the buyer with a NPB thread.
Report this behaviour at @Admin_Russell or the Helpdesk please!

Firstly this business store in Germany Surely regardless of payment method, they

get out of with bank transfer.
I should have avoided this seller tbh as they already just replied 'dont

listing), I thought id take the gamble, but then after my issues I checked their
feedback, I should of done this first. many many complaints of rudeness. Oh well
happy easter!
but my point is can a seller give me a NPB for failing to pay after they refuse
to accept a payment method that they quoted with but later changed.

This illustrates again why I think the whole process of filing NPB's against
buyers should be scrapped. No seller should have a hold over a buyer in this
way. If the buyer doesn't agree to the invoice or the terms of sale (Nobody
has sufficient time to read every sellers terms in full) then they should be
within their right to cancel the order or as I've suggested recently turn
manual orders into quotes so there is no commitment to place an order:-
https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1461685
In your specific case I would ask the seller to mutually agree to cancel since
they do not accept paypal which differs from their original terms. If they start
filing a NPB then I would report to Bricklink whilst directing them to your post
here which shows you raised your initial concerns prior to receiving the NPB

This is the element id (also known as PCC for parts) of the box. All boxes have
an element id, which we don't add as alternate item number.

| | I have a technical question, is the limit of 10,000 euros for sales to the EU
only the value of the goods or is it completely inclusive of all the added fees
that I charge for the BL? (postage and paypal fees)
I don't want to become a payer because of the added bureaucratic burden,
so I'm keeping an eye on it. I would like to know what exactly I should monitor,
last year I monitored everything including postage and paypal fees, but I read
somewhere that they do not count towards the limit, so how is it really?
thank you for the answers or the correct direction to the help where it is written.

The help page: https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=2550
also links to: https://taxation-customs.ec.europa.eu/online-sellers_en
The €10k threshold replaces the previous by-country thresholds for non-domestic
sales, so it works the same way, and that’s the same way as domestic sales: it’s
your total sales.
BrickLink and PayPal fees are parts of your costs, exactly like buying the LEGO
you sell. You don’t remove your costs from your sales when you consider your
total sales.
Postage is a cost too. There’s rare cases where it can be excluded but they
don’t apply on BL.

Because Completed means:
"Completed - Package received, contents verified, the order is completed."
https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1462289
It's terrible because the seller can NOT tell contents' been verified
and the buyer thinks the order is completed.
In a more generic reply, sellers should take care of their inventory, purchase
packaging, review prices, clean terms, make an attractive but sincere shop, prepare
accounting for IRS... whatever ELSE than taking care of the buyers or what's
the status of their orders.

Well put. And as to the question of why is it allowed, it could be for any number
of reasons, an accident, old feature/rules, poorly implemented, etc. it’s not
like bricklink is bug free and everything is perfect. Most things on Bricklink
have slight quirks at the very least
