Saw a listing of Auctane LLC on my PayPal activity. Thought it might be a fraudulent
charge. Opened a dispute of the charge. Seems Shipstation and Auctane are the
same entity. After much aggravation I was able to continue shipping through them.

  Apologies in advance to non-US sellers but just wanted to share my recent learning
as I am a new seller on BrickLink. When setting up my store, I was following
the general guidelines and how others were charging. When I recently went to
send a package that was 15.7 oz, I was informed that my only option to send that
package was via Priority Mail.

I don't know when USPS changed their pricing structure, but if you go to
USPS website, https://www.usps.com/ship/first-class-mail.htm, it distinctly says

"for large First-Class Mail envelopes and parcels, the maximum weight is
13 oz."

Just thought I'd share so you don't have a similar price shock where
you end up paying more for shipping than anticipated.

True, the USPS site says 13 ounces is the max for a 1st class package, but if
you ship via PayPal's Shipstation you can go up to 16 ounces.

Recently had 2 orders for Canadian buyers. When I processed the shipping through
PayPal it gave me a shipping address of the buyer, but when the actual label
printed it was of a USPS sorting facility in Hackensack, NJ. The label had the
buyers name on it, but c/o the USPS. In small print it said the recipient's
address was sent electronically to the USPS. The clerks at the local USPS station
didn't know anything about this. Customs form procedure was different too
and didn't print out on the label.
Had not shipped internationally in years since the cost had gotten prohibitive,
but these customers wanted the pieces.
Can anybody enlighten me?

  Hello Bricklink Friends,

I got my first sale yesterday (Yay!) and I went through all the Papypal nonsense
to print the shipping label through Shaipstation, and it ended up charging me
only $3.88 for a 5.2 oz. First Class Package. When I looked it up on postcalc.usps.com
it said it would be $5.20. Has anyone had this issue? Will my package get delivered?
Does anyone definitively know if the buyer or I (I hope it's not the buyer!)
will get charged the extra if it was $5.20, not $3.88? Is it possible ShipStation
hasn't updated their prices since the new USPS price hike?

Thanks for any help on this,

Upstate_Brickz

PayPal/Shipstation gives you a discount on the postage cost. Your buyer should
not receive any postage due notice.

  USPS is about to implement a 'time limited' (Oct 3 - Dec 25) rate increase.

That is one week away.

Temporary rates are described in Notice 123. PDF link is here ...

Nita Rae

Thank you for posting this information and bringing it to our attention. The
current/previous price breaks for FCPS (First Class Package Service) were in
4 oz increments (0-4, 5-8, 9-12, 13-15.99). The new chart for FCPS shows breaks
in 5 oz increments (0-5, 6-10, 11-15, 15.99 by itself). Does anyone know if
that change will be permanent and/or has already occurred?

I don't see what you see. The price increments are still 4 oz. But there
are lines in the table every 5 oz.

Ah, thank you for pointing that out. I saw the lines in the table at 5 oz. breaks
and wrongly assumed (without studying the numbers) that those were new rate divisions.

Wonder if "temporary" is going to be the new permanent? Call me a cynic.

Is there any printing on the reverse side of these posters? Mine have Black/White
versions of all 3 printed on each.
Had an inquiry about them and they specifically asked about a blank reverse side.

Has anyone tried to replace the battery on one of these Light & Sound units?
Screw is so small I can't make out if it's a Torx or a hex head.
Lights don't work and sound is very weak. Not sure if it's worth the
effort to fix.

It would be helpful if Admin would send out a notification when they change an
item number.
How frustrating is it to look for a part in my inventory only to find the number
has been changed.
If a notice is sent out for items marked for deletion, why can't it be done
for changes.

  Hello

I find lego catalog which I can not find in BL inventory.
Code is 3245-Ju. Is seams it is print for Yugoslavia (language is Slovenian).
Does anyone know the year. In my opinion it is something around middle 60s.
I put picture.

It is probably 1967. I say that because of the set 331 in the picture.

Is there any printing on the reverse side of this 2012 series of posters? Acquired
some, but they have B/W smaller versions on the reverse.

Did not notice that, logical explanation. So I guess we wait for someone to inventory
an old set.

Can the Tracking Number field be added to the Orders Placed screen?
If the Seller fills it in, which I do, have it feed over to the Buyers orders
placed.
