  Morning all
Am i able to delete a wish list and if so how do I do it please?
Been trying for a while but cant figure it out.
Thanks

If you look at the Want List page you should see a list of Want Lists, each will
have two buttons on the right hand side, Easy Buy and Setup. If you click the
Setup button you should see an option to delete (lower left corner of the modal
window that opens up).

  Me and my friends were sifting through an old box filled with legos and lego
mini figures and happened upon this white Lady Liberty mini figure. When I looked
online all that came up was keychains, but this mini figure doesn’t have a hole
in the headpiece for a keychain ring to fit through. What could this be?

Are you certain it's Lego?

  I have been having problems with trans green 1x1 plates and tiles, and white
bricks. Super random, but I'll find one every now and then with a big crack.

Trans- 1x1 plates have always been an issue. I think all my old PC ones are cracked.

  I bought some Lego bags at a garage sale. I need help trying to figure out what
set they belong to. My grandson and I like to pit the together although this
one has me stumped.

Sealed bags? If you post a picture I'm sure someone will help you here, alternately
you can look up the part numbers and use this (admittedly not easy to use) form:

https://www.bricklink.com/catalogIn.asp

It's very possible there are multiple sets involved.

I love that you and your grandson share this hobby!

  Lots of discussion about your terms, but that would mostly impact the amount
of orders you get. Hopefully with the changes you're planning to make you'll
have more orders coming in.

To your question though, it's frustrating as hell; especially as a new store.
60% seems to be the norm lately.

I’m averaging about 64% but I have had fewer orders than you

Early on I was at 70% or so but now just under 60%

  You answered sufficiently. I just wanted to make sure I understood in case a
buyer asks this of me again in the future. Thank you!

If a buyer on here asks you - don't do it. Nothing good will come of it!

  I was looking under terms for sellers but didn't see anything specifically
on topic, but does anyone have a definitive answer or knowledge if it goes against
Bricklink terms to sell items from store without documenting them? I know if
I wanted I could just remove the items from inventory and work out a deal separate
from Bricklink but I prefer not to do that and just curious if there are rules
against it.

I'm not 100% sure what you're asking but:

- you can't turn a BL order into an outside-of-BL order
- you can sell items you've listed on BL elsewhere

  My Instant checkout charge is $4.00 plus $1 additional fee. I received an order,
weighing just 1 lb 1.7 ounces, the shipping charge was $12.99, the $1 was omitted.
Who can check on this for me?

I added a large set to my cart from your store and S&H was $15.99.

If it's an existing set, you can part out the set into a want list.

And if you happen to be on a catalogue item's page, you can just click here:

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

That makes sense if the averages for a given part are only calculated once per
day. I've not run across this issue before, but it seems like Price Guide
manipulation. As in, if other stores use the regular current average price when
parting out, they'll accidentally price at least some items higher than they
ought to be, making the store that does the initial price very high but later
lowers it look like they have low prices when they don't.

  Any truth to the "rumor" that Bricklink will be making this compatible
this year? I see Paypal has bought on BL and Lego said their will be updates
but haven't heard anything in awhile on this.

What's the source of the rumor?

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

I think this same calculation might be reflected in the Price Guide. Of course
current items is almost always higher than 6 months but is it this much higher,
ever?

Anyone??????????

If the hands aren't blue, they were replaced at some point.

  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?

I think having friendlier terms could help.

Did you file a PayPal claim, or a chargeback with your credit card if you paid
via Stripe? BrickLink can't get your money back for you.
