  any help is appreciated! I would just like to know the "Dos and don'ts"
of selling LEGO's

Do: Open a store before advertising you have sets for sale.

  For a few weeks now you have to clarify with the seller whether it is the part
you want. So you can no longer use these functions.

That difference never was recognized in the catalogue by different entries, only
by a note as it is now.
You ALLWAYS had to clarify with the seller for such variants.


Then this entry is missing in the catalog.

Not really. There are loads of minor or unimportant variations that have never
been individually catalogued, just mentioned in notes.

  Hello there!

Could we maybe start giving Legs a bit more descriptive names?
Items like:
 
Part No: 970c00pb0092  Name: Hips and Legs with SW Luminara Unduli Pattern
* 
970c00pb0092 Hips and Legs with SW Luminara Unduli Pattern
Parts: Minifigure, Legs, Decorated {Black}
 
Part No: 970c00pb0284  Name: Hips and Legs with SW Imperial Pattern
* 
970c00pb0284 Hips and Legs with SW Imperial Pattern
Parts: Minifigure, Legs, Decorated {Black}
are a bit hard to find for people who haven't memorized the whole catalog
of Star Wars Characters and Uniforms.


Thanks you for your consideration.

It often happens with highly specialised designs and it can be a problem if you
have to know what you have to be able to search for it. But how would you describe
these parts to make them searchable? There will be a lot of parts with a description
like "with dark bluish grey lines".

I find Google lens is now quicker and more reliable than searching by words.

  I have has weird orders before, and have has scammers on here and other places.
I has a similar request some years ago, which was ok - someone wanted one brick,
to pay and get the feedback. I Cannot remember what I did, but I found it wrong
so I probably cancelled

Now this - 0 feedback, but actually ordered a set and something else.

But - what do people here think?

It is a bit strange. They are a member for 5 months and don't buy anything
in that time. Then ask for feedback and get told they need to buy something.
I would have thought they'd pick a cheap item with domestic postage to keep
costs down and have fast feedback tyrnaround, but instead go for an international
seller. They also contact to ask about feedback rather than just buying. And
coincidentally the seller they pick is a forum user.

If you reply, make it clear what the postage costs are, in case they don't
realise this is an international site.

For some years now, whenever I add a sticker to my Inventory I set Package Type
manually to Weight, and then when someone change it to Volume Bound it changes
my initial setting.

It shouldn't, should it?


I agree. If you manually override something, someone changing it in the catalogue
should not change your manual setting.
