| I don’t know why BrickLink has suddenly become such a juicy target.
|
All of it started fairly shortly after all of the extremely unpopular part merges
started to actually occur. I have a strong feeling that a user here that was
very upset about the decisions made is having some "fun" at BrickLink's
expense.
|
Interesting theory. But the scammers that caused the November 3 incident are
the same ones that caused the problems last night, and the variant merge project
was not exposed to the public before January 2024.
As much as companies tend not to boast about the number of online attacks they
receive, we do see a remarkable increase in scammer activity across the board
- throughout many companies and across different industries. To us, it does not
feel like BrickLink is being singled out.
|
Does there happen to be a plan in the works to stop this activity?
|
Yes. In fact, most of what is being done to prevent this type of fraud is being
done behind the scenes, and BrickLink members are not aware that it is happening.

Thanks for the company! He's been quiet for a while now. Probably hoping

| Hi!
I didn't get a response from the help desk, so I'm asking here.
I noticed that I can part together some official sets using 100% new parts. Am
I allowed to list those sets as "new incomplete" if I mention in the
comments that I parted together the set myself using new parts and am missing
box/instructions/stickers? Or are you only allowed to list a set as "new
incomplete" if you only took items out of a NISB set?
If you are not allowed to list it as "new incomplete", could you list
it as "used incomplete" and say in the comments that you parted it together
using new parts and am missing box/instructions/stickers?
Given that:
"Custom sets or instructions may be listed, provided they do not infringe
on any intellectual property rights, including those of the LEGO Group."
I do not believe I could list it as a custom set instead?
Thanks for information and if possible would like clarification from an admin.
|
Upon further investigation I have found at least one lot
https://store.bricklink.com/SortStation?itemID=336122737#/shop?o={%22invID%22:%22336122737%22}
where this exact scenario is listed as “new incomplete” and it has been listed
for over a year.
Wether this is due to it being allowed or simply never noticed is up for debate.
|
The big question here is whether that tile is original. There have been a few
fakes sold on BrickLink over the years before we caught them, so maybe it's
one of those.
In general, we do frown on used sets that have been BrickLinked, especially some
of the highly collectible ones like this:
But we don't proactively remove them. If they get reported, they will get
taken down though.
If someone wants to sell a collection of parts that may or may constitute a complete
set, they can always list it as a custom lot.

So just to follow up on this one...
I asked the help desk:
Can I list an incomplete set of peeled off stickers stored on wax paper as a
used sticker sheet with notes and a photo?
They got back to me and said it would need to be listed as a custom item.
So then I reported a couple other stickers listed in the above condition and
they were all removed from the store within a couple days.
|
The help language was changed:
https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=102
It now reads (second sentence is new):
"Sticker sheets missing stickers must be listed as used. Individual stickers
not attached to the original sticker sheet must be listed as Custom Items."
|
Yes, as a result of the complaints against these sticker listings, we have decided
to address the issue in the listing rules.
The main problem with individual stickers separated from the sheet is that we
don't have catalog entries for them. It is simply a practical concession
that we allow sheets with missing stickers to be sold as used, since for the
most part, used complete stickers sheets are very uncommon and of questionable
market value.
In the listings that were pulled down, the used stickers were placed on felt
and this is not great, with the fibers from the felt getting stuck to the back
of the sticker. Wax paper (freezer paper) is better since this is similar to
the surface the stickers were originally stuck to.
However, I do believe there is a valid market for used stickers for vintage sets,
especially some of the plastic based stickers (e.g. Fabuland). So I will be consulting
with our Marketplace and Catalog teams to see if we can make a provision for
listing them in some way under the sticker entry and not as custom items.
Until we make a decision on this, we won't be removing any more used sticker
listings.
