An exclamation mark (!) below a thumbnail image indicates that there is 3D data
available
A small asterisk (*) below a thumbnail image indicates that there is a large

Blue!
I guess these parts are quite old and there is some inconsistency in blue.
Might also be discoloration although you think it isn’t.

I'm leaning Trans Dark Blue, but you'd have to compare it to another
known sample if you have one.

I don't, I just found this in Lot of many different Bionical parts. When
Brick scan vcant find it and when it's hard to find with google Lence ..
then first it's annoying and beoyd that I'm starting to wonder, what
it could be.
Not easy to show on picture, but there is a kind of separation/variance in the
trans blue colors (dark, medium and light). I had quite many different Lego colors,
but never Trans Medium blue. To my eyes it looks like a blend between Trans dark
and Trans Medium blue. Fun but time consuming

So, you forced your buyer to open a PayPal claim, gambling that PayPal will refund
your buyer without subtracting the funds from your account?

The future solution is simple.
Refund the buyer.
You did not deliver the goods promised, because the buyer did not receive them.
EU consumer law is not complicated. You can do a simple Google search of "is
seller responsible for lost package in Belgium?" and click on the first link.
The buyer did communicate the issue with you, but you ignored their concerns.
They have now probably have assumed that you won't fix the issue, so they
are going to go through alternative methods.
I do not understand this mentality. It takes 3 strikes to close your store permanently.
Surely, you make more a month than whatever this order cost (which you legally
owe the buyer anyway).

Sounds right, though I've actually never done it.
I've actually shipped about 6k parcels between all the marketplaces now and
only had perhaps 3-5 truly disappear never to pop up again. I usually can convince
most buyers to wait, but this is a good idea to have in the toolbox

Serious stop with the hyperbole.
You've had now many experienced sellers explain to you that you are mistaken,
wrong, etc and what you should do differently/ what you MUST do differently.
You clearly don't understand how PP works, which baffles me at 4K feedback,
but I've seen stranger things.
We use PP 100% basically in the USA, so I give you a little space for not having
used it all the time, but everything you've written is not only incorrect,
but wasting your BUYERS TIME, who did NOTHING WRONG. Here in the USA, unless
it's delivered, its the sellers problem, and my understanding is Europe is
even stricter.
Why on earth would you want to make your buyer do all this extra when they didn't
do anything wrong? Forget all your reasons, I just, I just can't imagine
treating a customer this way. They'll never come back.

Yes.
Seller ordered and paid the shipping.
It's the seller to take care of the insurance (and perceive the eventual
corresponding amount).
In rare cases the shipper may ask you to get from the buyer a signed document
declaring it's not been received... but normally buyer's not implied.

Correct, but you can simply refund him.

If PayPal refunds the buyer it will be from your account, and you could get hit
with a dispute fee as well.
I don't know how long PayPal disputes take to resolve, but it's possible
the buyer could complete the NSS before it is resolved, and then you'll have
a permanent mark on your record, and you'll still lose money.
|
As far as I know, if the buyer get his full refund, seller can supply this info
to BL and they remove the NSS strike, even after the buyer completed it.

If you feel you have a strong case, then contest the claim when the buyer makes
the claim. You will need to supply paypal with your evidence so give them what
you have. You should not need to pay out of your pocket as you will be able to
refund out of whatever compensation you can claim from the shipping company.
If you file NSS against other sellers when they have proof of delivery, you will
eventually be banned. You will also lose paypal claims.

You are all missing the point here. Ok, at the end the buyer will be refunded,
if not by paypal then he certainly will be by me. But what's the point of
insurance if you decide not to use it and refund it yourself? When you buy a
new car and take full insurance, including damaged caused by yourself and wreck
the car, do you buy an other one without contacting your insurance? No, you try
to get your money back from your expensive insurance first. Fact is that my buyer
is not looking for a refund from me, he just wants a refund what's absolutely
normal. He opened a paypal claim and I provived all information so that won't
be a problem. And again, if paypal decides not to refund, I will.
|
This sentence demonstrates on its own that you don't know how PayPal works
and what is it for.
| | But how ridiculous
would it be to refund something without trying the insurance first.
|
Nothing is ridiculous here. You just don't know enough about insurance and
how it works and how can claim it and why it is there.
I would take this as a lesson to learn about PayPal and insurance and how they
work. You use them so it is better to learn about them before you face a serious
problem with a difficult buyer or even a scammer.
I would first contact the shipper and claim the parcel is lost to get my money
back from insurance. This is because, the shipper may try to find the package
and if they do, they will deliver it and won't give you any refund.
Hopefully this process happens within the time-frame of PayPal claim (you can
respond to PayPal claim with delay. They give you a few days to respond). If
later, the shipper accepts the parcel is lost and begin the process to issue
a refund to you, I immediately refund the buyer via PayPal. Otherwise, I provide
the info to PayPal that the parcel is found and is on its way to buyer again.
I hope this helps
| | Main problem
is that the buyer is very slow in responding. It took me 3 messages and 5 weeks
to bring to his attention that there was a problem with the delivery. If I didn't
do that he would probably still not know there was a problem. As far as I can
tel from his comment in the NSS he just wanted to cancel the order, not knowing
an NSS is not the right way to do that.

the car, do you buy an other one without contacting your insurance? No, you try
to get your money back from your expensive insurance first. Fact is that my buyer
is not looking for a refund from me, he just wants a refund what's absolutely
normal. He opened a paypal claim and I provived all information so that won't
be a problem. And again, if paypal decides not to refund, I will. But how ridiculous
would it be to refund something without trying the insurance first. Main problem
is that the buyer is very slow in responding. It took me 3 messages and 5 weeks
to bring to his attention that there was a problem with the delivery. If I didn't
do that he would probably still not know there was a problem. As far as I can
tel from his comment in the NSS he just wanted to cancel the order, not knowing
an NSS is not the right way to do that.

Paypal will refund. Out of your money. And if you don't agree, they will
charge you extra.
|
Thats true if I can't provide proof of shipping to the buyers paypal address.
If I can, what is the case here, the buyer will be refunded by paypal, not from
my account. This is unfortunately not the first order that got lost in mail so
know this from experience.
|
The buyer will be refunded. Not from “paypal” but specifically from your PayPal
account that they payment was sent to unless you can prove it was delivered (not
prove it was shipped) and if over like $600 or something also have signature
delivery

That is not a strong case. With that you’re 100% guaranteed to lose the PayPal
case. Sellers are fully responsible for eve try package they ship out regardless
of insurance or tracking. If you got an order, packed it up, handed it over to
the post office agent and they immediately tossed it into a fire you would have
to refund the buyer for that. You made a sub contract with the postal company
not the buyer. They buyer paid you for goods and its your responsibility to get
those goods to the buyer

You don't hear well?
As a seller you legally HAVE TO refund.
You, yourself, NOT PayPal.
Buyer opened a claim? Refund it from PayPal, immediately, and avoid much more

will refund me right away. Hurray, thousand orders received without spending

Insurance is for the seller to be refunded.
Buyer has nothing to do with this, and cannot ask for a refund to the shipper:
only to the seller.
https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1467925
|
That's correct, and that's the way I handle it when it's shipped
with insurance from the shipper. But when it's paid by paypal it's already
insured by paypal so why let the buyer pay again for insurance by the shipper?
|
PayPal isn't an insurance; it's a bank which provides a payment service.
They the most often protects the buyer, not always.
| | When a buyer does not receive his order it's he who has to open a claim with
paypal in order get refunded
|
No, buyer tells you he didn't receive, you talk with him and simply refund
him.
It's VERY detrimental to you as a seller (you'll have "a bad mark"
and they can close your account) to have PayPal in the middle.
| | The claim is opened so at the end a refund will be made
|
You HAVE to immediately and voluntarily refund the buyer through PayPal.
Again, it's VERY bad for the seller to let PayPal decide.

If PayPal refunds the buyer it will be from your account, and you could get hit
with a dispute fee as well.
I don't know how long PayPal disputes take to resolve, but it's possible
the buyer could complete the NSS before it is resolved, and then you'll have
a permanent mark on your record, and you'll still lose money.

except if paypal refunds the buyer its comes directly from your balance. so why
make it more difficult by having the buyer claim thre Paypal instead of just

Sorry, in Europe it's your responsability for the buyer to receive, by Law.

Example:
https://europa.eu/youreurope/citizens/consumers/shopping/shipping-delivery/index_en.htm
Missing delivery
If you don't receive your goods within 30 days, or within the agreed time,
you should remind the trader giving them an additional, reasonable time limit
to deliver. For example, if the trader has informed you that your delivery is
delayed by a week because of problems with his suppliers you should consider
giving him that extra week.
If the trader still doesn't deliver within the extended deadline then you're
entitled to terminate your contract and be reimbursed as soon as possible. You
don't have to give the trader extra time if they refuse to deliver or when
an agreed delivery period is essential, for example, if you need the goods for
a specific event, such as a dress for a wedding, and you have informed the trader
of this in advance.

I then request a compensation from the deliverer if possible and refund the buyer
when he paid by iban. When he paid by paypal, what's the case here, he is
entitled for a refund by paypal. We pay […] 6% and more costs for that so
why should I refund from my own pocket and loose money for purchase and shipping
when there's insurance. If your house burns down do you say: "I have
insurance but no problem, I'll pay for it myself"? I don't think
so. Should paypal decide not to refund him I will still do this but not before
that. My concern is that placing a NSS without waiting for the result from a
paypal claim is not helping anyone. How idiot would it be to just refund everyone
who places a NSS? And even then, when I refund but he does not removethe NSS
what do I gain? Do you refund every NSS that is placed? In that case I should
advise everyone who has ordered in your store whether it did arrive or not, to
place a NSS. How easy could it be to get a free delivery.

Sorry but if the buyer didn't receive it, then as a shop owner you are responsible,
insurance or not.
Simply refund the buyer (if possible from the order page if paid on site), and
if not, provide a proof of refund (like a PDF of the PayPal transaction status
on PayPal) to the NSS.
Then wait, Help Desk is slow.

They aren't complimenting them. They are implying that COBI parts are not
rubbish that should be thrown away / destroyed and that there are people that
will buy them. Which is true. COBI parts do crop up in used LEGO lots and there
are people that want them. It is incredibly wasteful to destroy items like that
just because they are not LEGO branded. It is far better to pop them in a tub
and sell on as bulk COBI once the tub is full, or bulk mixed clones if they are
with other brands. Obviously they cannot be sold here but that doesn't mean
there is not a market for them, or that they should be destroyed.

Yes, this is exactly it, thanks yorbrick.

| I can think of (2) options to get the estimated weight.
The easiest would be if you have your MOC modeled in Studio.
Go to: Model Tab Model Info Physical Information Tab
Or, if you only have the pieces in a Wanted List, go to purchase all the pieces
and "Add to Cart".
Then go and "View Cart" for all the sellers that complete the wanted
list and record the estimated weight.
Unfortunately then you need to add all the individual order weights together.
Would be interested to know if there is a more direct solution...

Before LEGO took over, sellers were not allowed to sell COBI here, nor other
clones like Megabloks nor other perfectly legal CE certified brands. Sellers
were allowed to sell parts such as those from Brick Arms, Brick Warriors, Brick
Forge, etc where they complimented LEGO MOCs, especially where they were minifigure

I will quote you ...
It's really a pain to spend a lot of time sorting bricks separing cheap
clones
like COBI and so on from the actual LEGO and encouraging people to keep them
in order to make some small (to nearly zero) profit is not a good attitude for
this platform. I strongly believe that the money you can gain out of selling
stuff like clones (most of them are also illegal in most countries) is
a small
amount compared to the time you lose in separing the bricks, converted into money.
Yours is shortsighted business.
You specifically name one brand and one brand only as a cheap clone, and then
go on to say that most clones are illegal in most countries. As you have only
specifically mentioned one clone brand, COBI, and then gone on to say that most
clones are illegal the implication is that COBI is illegal in most countries.
If you had not meant that COBI is illegal, then you should not have stated the
name before saying most clones are illegal.

And what about third party high quality competitors' parts that can be mistaken
for LEGO, as happened here?
If you read the thread, someone found a COBI piece. Someone else replied to imply
that it should be destroyed. Someone else said don't destroy it, save it
as it is is a quality piece that others might value. Then you throw a wobbly
saying that people should not discuss the quality of clone brands.

forum, then someone else said it is a Hyundai part and someone else said destroy
it, then someone else said don't destroy it as it is a quality part that
has a use and some value to others, I would not be in a fit of rage just because
somebody said a part for another brand has value.
| | There are places in where it fits to speak about some topics, and places where

|
This thread is about a part from a clone brand that has been shown and asked
to be identified, as the owner mistook it for LEGO. Saying that the part still
has value even though it is not LEGO is perfectly appropriate in such a thread.
Discussing that such parts exist also makes sense on a LEGO forum so that other
people do not mistakenly identify bricks that are similar to LEGO as LEGO. It
is no less appropriate to say that a clone part should not be destroyed than
to say that a clone part should be destroyed. Both statements are discussing
a clone part. Yet you only take offense at the one that says don't destroy
it.
The first post in this thread is about a COBI part, as that is what is shown.
Is it appropriate to show such a part even if it is by mistake as the owner thought
it was a LEGO part? If you don't like it, then you can report the thread
saying that it is advertising clone parts that should not be discussed on a forum
owned by LEGO.
| | Making high praises of competitor brands on a LEGO ran site is totally out of

|
They are not making high praises. They simply said "COBI is a very high quality
clone, and there is a market for it." That is a true statement. It is better
to keep and reuse something than it is to destroy because it is not LEGO. There
was no statement such as COBI is better than LEGO, there was no statement that
people should not buy LEGO but buy COBI instead, just a short sentence that a
clone part should not be destroyed because someone might be able to use it.

Many clone brands are of high quality these days. Some surpass LEGO in that their
colour can be more consistent, in some cases molding marks are less visible,
and prints are better quality. Denying that helps nobody. LEGO has had some terrible
quality issues in the past. If AFOLs deny that there are quality issues, then
LEGO would never have to improve where they fall short.
Just because something is not made by LEGO does not mean it has no value at all.
Destroying items because they are not LEGO is wrong. Banning other companies
from producing brick building toys would be hugely detrimental to LEGO fans,
since LEGO could increase the prices even more than they have already done as
they would have no competition. It also wouldn't be possible anyway as LEGO
does not have the right to stop other companies producing similar items especially
where LEGO no longer has active patents for.
COBI is a genuine company that produces its own designs for sets, and produces
many themes that LEGO say they will never produce. It is a perfectly legal competitor
for brick based toys.
|
Too Right.. Even brands such as Wilko and Smyths Toys have produced their own
building blocks sets, Just because Lego have been producing sets for years, Does
that mean no-one else can? Every item made has competitors making the same thing.
I'm sure not every single tin opener in the world is made by the same company.

COBI is not illegal in most countries. That is an absolutely ridiculous statement.
You really do not know what you are talking about.

Many clone brands are of high quality these days. Some surpass LEGO in that their
colour can be more consistent, in some cases molding marks are less visible,
and prints are better quality. Denying that helps nobody. LEGO has had some terrible
quality issues in the past. If AFOLs deny that there are quality issues, then
LEGO would never have to improve where they fall short.
Just because something is not made by LEGO does not mean it has no value at all.
Destroying items because they are not LEGO is wrong. Banning other companies
from producing brick building toys would be hugely detrimental to LEGO fans,
since LEGO could increase the prices even more than they have already done as
they would have no competition. It also wouldn't be possible anyway as LEGO
does not have the right to stop other companies producing similar items especially
where LEGO no longer has active patents for.
COBI is a genuine company that produces its own designs for sets, and produces
many themes that LEGO say they will never produce. It is a perfectly legal competitor
for brick based toys.

"VERY HIGH quality" is a compliment. Wheter you agree or not, it's
a fact.

This behaviour of yours is very damaging to the community.
It's really a pain to spend a lot of time sorting bricks separing cheap clones
like COBI and so on from the actual LEGO and encouraging people to keep them
in order to make some small (to nearly zero) profit is not a good attitude for
this platform. I strongly believe that the money you can gain out of selling
stuff like clones (most of them are also illegal in most countries) is a small
amount compared to the time you lose in separing the bricks, converted into money.
Yours is shortsighted business.

They aren't complimenting them. They are implying that COBI parts are not
rubbish that should be thrown away / destroyed and that there are people that
will buy them. Which is true. COBI parts do crop up in used LEGO lots and there
are people that want them. It is incredibly wasteful to destroy items like that
just because they are not LEGO branded. It is far better to pop them in a tub
and sell on as bulk COBI once the tub is full, or bulk mixed clones if they are
with other brands. Obviously they cannot be sold here but that doesn't mean
there is not a market for them, or that they should be destroyed.

How ironic.
In one message you say that I handle my business poorly.
In another message you feel the irresistible urge to compliment clones on a site

Perfect picture.

it probably is), but I got a Login from new device email today (yes I logged

hour after I logged in and the time stated in the email was also about an hour
after I logged in.
It's more so the time in the email that says when the new log in was detected
that has me concerned ( I know emails can take a while to come through).
The time discrepancy could be due to time zones (email time is in UTC and I am
AEST).
What does everyone think about this?
