Hi everyone,

I started selling at the end of January and have had a handful of orders since,
but I've only had one buyer leave feedback. Do most people not bother leaving
feedback anymore?

I've left feedback for every order, both buying and selling, and I thought
most people would do the same. Is there anything I could be doing to try to encourage
my buyers to leave feedback?

Hi, I'm new to Bricklink, my frist order turned out to be a NSS whatever
thst is. I have uet to get my money back. Now, I've just received a compliant
from a seller for not proceeding with an order which they changed after saying
in am email theyd honour an invoice they sent to me for less then they were asking.
No, now thank you Bricklink. Not cool. I wish to make a complaint to Bricklink
for these experiences.These rules and obligstions are not clear enough for first
time users of bricklink.

Member SCHIRALDI from Italy is playing a trick with honest sellers!

It was already a red flag when he messaged me about the cheapest shipping option
while every info is available in my terms and during checkout too but I messaged
him all details about shipping. He also wrote in Italian but why would I limit
my buyers by the languages they speak? Well, I should have stoplisted him before
he placed an order...

Buyer claimed that 6 parts out of 120 were missing from his order. You won't
believe but these parts were the most expensive ones in the order, worth a total
of €2,44 while the whole order was €14,77. So it was already a bit strange and
I wondered if I would have missed a whole lot and I added only 4 instead of 8
of another? Hell no!

The bad feeling continued since I always double check my orders before I pack
and ship them so I rechecked my inventory and all the remaining quantities were
correct so none of the parts were missing from his order, that's 100% sure.

I also contacted one of the sellers he dealt with (positive feedback left to
the buyer) since I know the seller from a FB group of BL sellers and he confirmed
that this buyer played the same trick with him. Same method, claiming a few parts
missing from the order while they aren't, hoping to get a refund so basicly
getting a few parts for free.

Better stoplist this buyer, he would probably do the same trick with you when
ordering, you will likely refund him since it's just a few parts and a few
euros and don't want extra headache or negative feedback but he will never
stop unless someone stops him.

So, I have sets that are missing minifigs and need to be changed from incomplete
to custom. (see pic 1) Does that mean I need to delete each and every one and
relist them or is there a way to update the listing to change that status or
add a custom tag? (see pic 2) If I can update, what is the new code that I need
to put into the condition box? Shouldn't there be a check box that allows
me to add the tag 'custom' to the listing?

Furthermore, if I want to search for a set w/out the minifigs or a 'custom'
listing shouldn't there be a check box or a filter that allows that option?
(see pic 3)


Current policy for NEW:
Incomplete - Contents are brand new, but may have been removed from
plastic bags for inventory purposes or to remove other contents from the set.
The set is missing some of the contents, instructions or original box/packaging.
The description should clearly state what exactly is missing.
(see pic 4)

No where in that policy does it EXPLICITLY say that minifigs must be included.
By adding the last sentence you are giving the seller permission to list sets
without minifigs. Additionally, the policy says: or to remove other contents
from the set
. What else are you removing if not the minifigs? Does that mean
that sets that have had their stickers removed must be listed as CUSTOM as well?
What about partial sets? (ex: a set that is missing 1 of 4 bags. The other 3
bags are still sealed, does this then need to go under the CUSTOM listing?)

Current policy for USED:
Incomplete - Set is missing items. Description should state what exactly
is missing.
(see pic 6)

Again: no where does it EXPLICITLY say minifigs must be included.

On top of these questions, custom items MUST include CUSTOM images.

What you are talking about is a complete change in the way sets are listed for
sale. The number of sets that will disappear from the market into the foggy land
of custom (as in UNSEARCHABLE, see pics 7 & 8) is so gigantic as to be completely
landscape altering.

Why not simply add a checkbox without minifigs, why turn the entire set
catalog upside down? I have no problems letting buyers know that the minifigs
are missing. I have no problems making the price guide more precise. This entire
change feels like a mandate from LEGO on high and not a planned change or requested
change from the community. It feels sloppy, incomplete, and poorly thought out.

Hi all,

I have gotten an email that the Bricklink Program products will be send in three
months.
That sounds good, but i have forgotten my order.
Can I find those orders some where?
In Bricklink I find nothing and in my Lego-account either.
In the email is no link or something. Only the message that I must check the
address and payment method.

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

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

Kind regards,
Tim

I have recently had two orders where the shipping method was marked "Request
for invoice (backup method)".

Is this an option that is always available on the checkout page?

I am trying to figure out why it looks like it was not possible to automatically
generate the invoice. Going over my shipping method, I noticed that there was
a fairly strict limit on the box size (3cm height) and the items sold were complete
sets.
The size in the Bricklink catalogue is obviously larger.

Could that have been the issue?

Is there any way to debug these kind of things? Like making a fake order in my
shop?


Thanks,
Peter

Come check out my newly opened store with only new parts. Curious do people prefer
used parts over new parts? We just opened and will be growing over time and are
excited to have the opportunity to serve fellow lego fanatics such as ourselves.
We are looking at adding used parts too if the need is there.

This comes from the May newsletter. I am now totally confused.

Listing incomplete sets

Let's talk about incomplete listings! Our Item Condition policy only allows
certain parts of a set to be missing, such as instructions or original packaging,
to qualify it as Incomplete.

When you list sets that are missing minifigures or just the minifigures from
a set, they should not be listed as an incomplete set. They are qualified as
'Custom items'. The process for listing them is the same, except that
you should check the 'Custom item' check box, as shown below.

Listing items as 'Custom' not only helps buyers in their search for specific
items, but it also helps keep our price guide more precise for sellers.


OK, so it seems if you remove the minifigures from a set, or sell part of a set,
that set can no longer be listed as incomplete but has to be listed as a custom
lot. What is an incomplete set. It says this policy change (?) is to keep the
price guide precise for sellers, but what are you comparing when looking at incomplete
sets?

If a set has 10 minifigures, and is missing 1, is it an incomplete set? What
about 5, or 9. According to the official statement missing all 10 is not an incomplete
set but a custom lot. So where is tge critical point?

Same with parts, how much can be missing and still be an incomplete set? And
if someone else has sold an incomplete set, how do I know how complete/incomplete
it was?

This seems to be a huge policy change, especially the part that an incomplete
set can only be missing the box and instructions. That was previously allowed
under the definition of a used but complete set, and my understanding was that
a used set could be complete if it was missing just the box and/or instructions,
but a seller should add comments to say these were missing.

Hi, How do I set up so I see all prices INCLUDING VAT or SALES TAX. When searching
through the catalogue I would logically pick let´s say the first 5 parts based
on the cheapes only to realyse upon checkout they were shown excluding VAT which
is +20% .. this would actually put them in the middle of the results. Showing
prices without VAT is illegal in Slovakia and I guess it´s illegal all over EU.
How can there be prices shown without VAT mixed with prices that are total? Is
it a problem on BL side? I am in EU as buyer my location is EU I am not a company
nor do I have VAT registration to buy excluding VAT yet I see these prices in
the catalogue. This is very missleading and just costs me time to now open 3
carts with the same products and ONLY AFTER I go to CHECKOUT the VAT is added...

ALL PRICES SHOULD BE INCLUDING TAX. At least for EU. And if you area company
you will just get the tax cut at the checkout not the opposite way around.
