| | Hello,
today something very bad happened.
An user made me an order, paid, and I shipped it.
Out of 233 parts, he declared that 1 was incorrect and 5 missing.
I went on my shop to see if I could reship the missing/wrong items but to my
surprise, none of them were available.
I don't want problems, so for a few bucks, I refunded those parts.
Probably, this buyer saw me weak because he then became demanding.
- I'm not happy with the refund. Either you send me half the shipping price
as a compensation, or I will cancel the entire order and ship it back on your
behalf.
Once noted that PayPal states that though he's entitled to, it's on HIS
behalf it became.
- No it's on your behalf. If before I said that I was ok with half shipping
price, now it's full shipping price, or I will cancel the order and open
a claim as "not as described".
I remarked that the parts not as described were refunded, but he said that he
was not needing the order as a whole.
I then went on his feedback profile and see that he already tried this trick
before. A seller paid him to ship the order back, and he never did.
Can we do something in these cases, or are we totally powerless?
I'm not speaking about the PayPal claim, I know I will win it.
But is there a way to defend ourselves from this kind of users?

Leave a note in feedback: Claims X parts missing, refund issued, buyer demanded
half off shipping. BEWARE!
I think this fits.

| Hello 
So... I purchased Lego's Pac-Man cabinet as well as LED lighting. I'm
also converting it to be motorized and I purchased the Powered Up 4-Port Hub
(85824) and a motor to run the game. As for the lighting, after all has been
installed, I'm left with a USB at the end to plug into a power source to
be manually switched. What I want to do is to plug it into the hub and have both
the motor and the LEDs controlled through the app. So as the title says, IS there
some type of adapter from the Powered Up plug to USB? Or even a train of adapters
that can lead up to a USB?
Thanks for any suggestions.

When was it received?
You've a proof of reception (but of course he received because he complains,
but for PayPal)?
Order total + shipping price?
Refunded parts price?
Qty of parts refunded // total parts?
You did well refunding what was said damaged/missing.
| | I'm not speaking about the PayPal claim, I know I will win it.

Then simply ignore?

It's possible they were damaged/missing.
Regarding returning goods, it's also possible - depending your conditions,
when it was received, etc.
But at the buyer cost AFAIK. NOT at your cost.

Over the years, for various reasons, certain people and groups of people have
been granted special access to acquire or purchase items/elements that are not
normally available to Non-LEGO employees or even to the general public. Typically
one-time closed-door events or deals, but with full authorization to acquire
those items. Also, typically accompanied by signed or handshake agreements as
well as Non-Disclosure Agreements to NEVER sell those items to the public and
not to talk about it.
Over time, however, and as those items pass from one person or generation to
another, those agreements to never sell may be long forgotten or disregarded.
I won't give specific examples that I know about, but some have included
special access to Lego Model Shop stock rooms; or deals to purchase bricks from
special production runs of specific elements and/or colors; or gifts of special
items as non-monetary compensation; or even as items to be sold to limited audiences
to benefit a third party that LEGO corporate wished to support.
Some of this type of thing still occurs, I am sure, tho I do not have direct
knowledge of such events like I used to have.
My point is that special items someone got 20 or 30 years ago could very easily
show up being offered for sale on BrickLink. And those special items are genuine
LEGO elements.
In fact, as a buyer, I have purchased many items like that on BrickLink and even
gotten some in other ways and have seen a few others with my own eyes. My term
for those items are 'Parts that Don't Exist'. Except that they do
exist, they were just never used in any Lego sets.

Good points. Thanks

As a small store (550 orders in 2023), we hand 2 orders that were missing an
item or there was an error and we shipped out a second package.
We also had to credit about eight other transactions for a missing part (minor
10-15 cents here or there), which was spotted before shipment.
With 2900 orders to date never recall someone stating a part was broken, discolored
or that there was a quality issue.
Larger stores (50+ transactions a week) running brick sync are surely averaging
2-3 each week if not a lot more.

I also went through and checked the part numbers for the battery covers of each,
much like what's already noted on
55823's is 56442
55824's is 56451
55825's is 56545
55826's is 56457
55827's is 56460
The number 56444 (noted on 55828 as being for the sword) appears on the black
plastic piece (electronic casing?), and is the same inside all six weapons. If
I were to guess, the numbers for the main part is behind the electronics, but
I'm not quite willing to tear these apart.
Also when displayed like this it's apparent that 55825c01 has a naming inconsistency,
listing the set number. Is there a preference there?

So getting back to the subject of the post, if you don't mind that is
What should be the guidelines or parameters for what is "official"
LEGO here on BL?
|
The simplest rule would be items from official sets. Then other items as custom
items on a case by case basis as BL sees fit, which is pretty much what it is
now.
Not that that would necessarily stop stolen, nightshift or similar items. If
illegitimate copies of (expensive) production parts are made, who is to know
of the origin? The only reason some parts stand out is that they are not known
in sets. Only allowing items that have appeared in sets could just shift what
is made by bootleggers. Although a lot of that bootleg jellybean type minifigure
trade still exists on ebay and facebok for the "rare", "prototype"
parts or whatever other description they want to use.

Good points.
I offer my somewhat personal anecdotal input, in part to balance the incessant
"stolen, nightshift" as you put it, scenarios all too readily expressed
by mostly the under-informed here. To those reading, understand or don't.

It is not from PAB. That was just an example to show that there are also legit
ways to get unreleased lego parts.
I bought the part from bricklink my self in 2014.

I think the point is that even if you bought the part here a decade ago, who
is to say that that seller's source was legitimate?

The part has been retired for 30 years. This is 99.9% sure just a test part that
escaped the factory.
|
Especially in the 1990s, there were many legal ways such parts found their way
out of the factory. Leftover parts were, for example, sold in model shops and
employee shops. Employee children got to play with prototype sets to evaluate
them, and were allowed to keep them. Those were different times.

So getting back to the subject of the post, if you don't mind that is
What should be the guidelines or parameters for what is "official"
LEGO here on BL?
|
The simplest rule would be items from official sets. Then other items as custom
items on a case by case basis as BL sees fit, which is pretty much what it is
now.
Not that that would necessarily stop stolen, nightshift or similar items. If
illegitimate copies of (expensive) production parts are made, who is to know
of the origin? The only reason some parts stand out is that they are not known
in sets. Only allowing items that have appeared in sets could just shift what
is made by bootleggers. Although a lot of that bootleg jellybean type minifigure
trade still exists on ebay and facebok for the "rare", "prototype"
parts or whatever other description they want to use.

I don't think they are discolored or yellowed because also the underside

yep, it’s “brittle blue”, made sometime between 2005 and 2010. These aren’t yellowed
in the normal way; there’s something about the chemical composition of that era
of bricks that causes them to darken and become brittle (which is why the corner
of your slope shattered). It would have looked like normal Bright Blue originally.

permission to sell a part like that on a site owned by TLG.
You should easily be able to sell it elsewhere though.

It is not from PAB. That was just an example to show that there are also legit

I bought the part from bricklink my self in 2014.

I think the point is that even if you bought the part here a decade ago, who
is to say that that seller's source was legitimate?

The part has been retired for 30 years. This is 99.9% sure just a test part that
escaped the factory.

These were originally just blue.
Blue parts that change to a somewhat greenish blue tend to be really brittle
and easily snap when slightly flexing them. That is at least an observation I
made several times.

I don't think they are discolored or yellowed because also the underside
and the sides are in the same color and they are solid as they are new.
I noticed that the slope has a damage on the back like someone has been "sliced"
it and inside the color it's the same

I believe a lot of Warm Yellowish Orange parts were recently released at the
Florida LEGOLAND PAB? They definitely were never released in anything else, and
they were most likely old product from the model shop that had been sitting around
for almost 20 years. There have been lots of legitimate ways over the course
of LEGO history to obtain many rare and unique items.

Yes from individual LEGOLAND centres (I also mentioned them earlier) but not
from regular PAB walls.

Parts like that are officially released, same with all the BAM exclusive parts.
They are not in retail sets, but they are widely available and catalogued here
as existing. Hence there is no issue with them being listed compared to the illegitimate
parts.

I don't recall offhand, but it might be possible for you to receive notifications

Hallo,
bei "Orders placed" müssten die Bestellnummern blau hinterlegt sein.
Ich klicke einfach auf die Bestellnummer und da komme ich zu einer Anzeige, die
ich als pdf druck oder auf Papier ausdrucke. Der Verkäufer steht zwar unten,
aber im Menü, was man mit strg+p bekommt, müsste ein Feld sein, wo man die Skalierung
ändern kann (alternativ dazu "An Seitenbreite anpassen", dass es nicht
so lang wird.
Was anderes habe ich bisher auch nicht gefunden.
