  A week and a half a go I had a request for a photo of a fairly costly headgear
from a buyer he had only 1 feedback from last year. I sent a message regarding
that I would be willing with no response. I then took a few photos the next day
e-mailed them, I had no response. I wasn't to worried it happens (right)
but I started wondering and did worry I was afraid someone was trying to get
into my store or something, so I deleted his message (no to sure what good that
would do) But then I received a order from the same person a few days after buying
2 items that had no bearing the the photo requested previously. Ok I thought
and invoiced the order. Still no response or payment😬 I waited 4 days feeling
very uncomfortable and cancelled the order. I haven't heard anything back!

So I am wondering what you long time, smart, BL sellers think about it

Prior to only allowing instant checkout in my store, I would get those (0) feedback
sales with no response ever from the buyer. Unless I'm mistaken or things
have changed that buyer now has my real email and home address. Knowing this
I would get that same uncomfortable feeling something was up.

Sorry that all the hacking issues have caused you worry!

It sounds like someone was looking at items in your shop, wanted to confirm the
condition of an expensive item, decided not to buy it, but checked out with some
other items. And you've cancelled on them after a fairly short time.

What makes you so nervous? All of this sounds very innocuous. The only info that
you have given them is your email and BrickLink address which are always public-facing
once any order is placed.

What’s funny is that the very next message on the forum was spam.

  Hi everyone,

I started selling at the end of January and have had a handful of orders since,
but I've only had one buyer leave feedback. Do most people not bother leaving
feedback anymore?

I've left feedback for every order, both buying and selling, and I thought
most people would do the same. Is there anything I could be doing to try to encourage
my buyers to leave feedback?

Your store terms are horrendous.

Plus adding 4.2% paypal fee. Simple Honest solution is to raise your prices 4.2%.
A no brainer, unless you are trying to artificially make your prices look cheaper.

Hi Nubs, I don't thing you are missing anything, I really don't know,
gut feeling I guess. My problem is I'm not that good with what is going on
in the hacking world🙄 and I hope it was nothing

No worries then you should be all good. The current hacking issue with bricklink
is thru fake emails sent to sellers which have links that bring them to fake
login pages where phishers steal logging details which they then use to sign
into your account. So long as you don’t follow and email links and you have OTP
on bricklink enabled your store should be all good to go (and as a safeguard
to also have a backup of your inventory saved)

Keep in mind many people don't leave feedback because they aren't happy,
but don't want to make a fuss.


I know when I get meh parts, I usually just avoid that shop, I only leave bad
feedback if they really deserve it. I know there are critics of this approach,
but that's just what I do. So really self reflect that you sent "nice"
orders, nicely packed etc.


Otherwise its about 50% leave feedback IME

  Hello,

Over the past half-year, I have accumulated over 1,300 Minifig heads, 800 Torsos,
and around 800 or so headgear/hair. As I do not want to sift through and upload
individually, what would be the best way to sell these? They are all clean and
free of dust and I would be willing to sell at a great discount.

Thanks!

since you mentioned not wanting to list them individually the best way to sell
them would be an ebay auction

Alternatively, send them to Nubs_Select, he'll sort them and sell them and
you both share 50/50 of the sale. Don't thank me - my pleasure!

I guess some of our packages may end up on Signed, Sealed, Delivered, some day

Luckily no one was killed, and they got the 50 people trapped in it out safely.

Agreed. The drone footage is unbelievable.

Lots of vehicle affected. I imagine there will be delays across the region.

You could buy 800 sets of legs and sell them as a build your own minifigure lots.
You could do bundles of 50 or whatever, random selections of parts.

How much are you looking for? If you are still in the market for Lego I could
potentially give you some store credit
