| You can ask the buyer or seller to cancel the order.
At the bottem of the page is a link to the 'Problem Center'. https://www.bricklink.com/retract.asp
From there you can add the order id and go on from there.

I'm (as a seller) trying to remove one regular item from the order (2 items
in the order totally). The order is already paid, but I and buyer agreed that
1 item should not be sent and refund for this item should be received.
When trying to use Order Item Removal Request form System responds:
Oops! There was a problem processing your request:
Order does not have valid order status for order item removal.
Is this because the order is already paid? Any other options to remove 1 item?
Should I simply issue a refund? Will then fees and paypal fees be recalculated
as well?
|
You can't remove items once the order is paid, you will have to issue a refund.

But then you're losing ALL the PayPal fees, but the BrickLink fees will be
counted in negative ( "refunded" ).
Frankly, when I'm lazy and it's for cents, I simply partially refund
and ship anyway the corresponding parts, all this complicated process isn't
worth the 5 cents lost (for ex).

It's paid, you can't removed something paid.

You've to refund partially and do manual work, think not to pick this item,
manuall change the count of this item on BrickLink (because it's been removed)...
PayPal won't refund the fees, neither BrickLink.
The only other solution is to refund the whole order, cancel the order, and make
the buyer restart it from scratch.

I don't think you're helping the customer. What you're doing is perpetuating
cruddy buyer behavior. If the buyer had to pay to re-ship I guarantee you they
would make damn sure their address was correct going forward.
|
I kinda get what you’re saying but I can’t say I see it the same way unfortunately
| | | |
I’m sure they would be willing but with taxes involved it adds needless confusion
so might as well keep things simple and save myself time and hassle and keep
the customer extra happy at the cost of several $ once in a blue moon. Tho I
guess this is a sellers preference just like when they leave feedback, it’s up
to the seller and ultimately isn’t any major issue but I do agree if shipping
is expensive or I feel like it was “maliciously” done I would likely not offer
a free reship
|
All these little giveaways start to add up eventually.
|
It would take an extremely long time for $0-$10 a year to cause damage

I can't speak for zorbanj but I don't think the added shipping charge
in this case would count as an internet marketplace order requiring the collection
and remission of sales tax.

Some states impose sales tax on shipping and others don't. I think BL imposes
sales tax on shipping for all states that have a sales tax, so that's being
handled incorrectly in the first place. O f course our great state of New Jersey
does impose sales tax on shipping.
My point to Nubs is that the sales tax is too small to care about. Maybe it's
different in Canada and they smash through your door if they think you owe $3
in tax for re-ships.

Interesting thought but what about those of us to have to collect sales tax ourselves?
I have to charge the buyer sales tax and write the number down somewhere and
hope I can remember it during tax time? It can be complicated and unnecessary
work which I’d gladly spend several $ to not worry about in addition in order
to charge sales tax I’d need to somehow include my tax id to the payment which
is even more work and confusion

If shipping were $10 (which is alot for a domestic order) sales tax would be
about 75 cents. I'm not worried about it.

Nope, If a seller makes a mistake they cover it, if a buyer makes a mistake many
business still cover it (such as if you buy the wrong size clothing on amazon
you can still return it at the cost of amazon), I dont quite see how this is
"overprotective", it is good customer service and would make me want
to go back to that company in the future.
|
Ordering the wrong part is different than having the wrong address. I have no
issue refunding a buyer for wrong parts as long as they are returned in the condition
received.
|
It’s a similar example to the address. Just like how even if you know say your
shirt size you might still order the wrong size just like if you know your address
you might write the wrong one down. It’s an honest mistake
| | Having the wrong address is just stupid and a seller shouldn't pay to re-ship.

| | | | | | How hard is it to have the correct shipping address?
|
mistakes happen there isn't a need to try and go thru
the hassle of trying to figure out how a buyer can pay several $ and get things
potentially complicated with taxes when you can save yourself time and hassle
by simply buying a new shipping label (or a few stamps).
|
It's not complicated, it takes no time at all and it's not a hassle.
I've never had a buyer on any selling platform object to paying for a re-ship
due to an incorrect shipping address.

quite, from experience (usually several times a month), people who move, often
times forget to update addresses or forget to write the apartment number on their
address, usually they message me after they place the order but before I ship
it out but not always. mistakes happen there isn't a need to try and go thru
the hassle of trying to figure out how a buyer can pay several $ and get things
potentially complicated with taxes when you can save yourself time and hassle

then they've got to pay to ship again.

Much more, with some international shipping methods (at least here) the seller
is invoiced for the parcel to be shipped back. Buyer could also have to pay for
this.
