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).

  Hi,

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.

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


  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'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.

  Hello,
Total novice here.
I’m a new seller and I have lots of new and complete used sets available for
sale.
Some of them are very heavy like the UCS Razor Crest.
I’ve got USPS Ground Advantage as my first shipping option. At the Post Office
they told me that is all I can use (other than priority)
Then I have UPS Ground as my second shipping option.
I set it up that way because I think UPS Ground is more affordable than USPS
Ground Advantage once you reach a certain weight so UPS is better for those heavier
sets.
Assuming I’m correct (and there’s certainly the chance I’m not), will Bricklink
choose the shipping option that is the least expensive per the weight of the
set?
What is the best way to get accurate shipping costs in advance of a sale?
Thanks.

1.) Do not use instant checkout for your sets.

Especially when talking about large sets, shipping will vary widely depending
upon destination.

You are also going to want to have the ability to screen your buyers. I would
be pretty picky about who I would sell a $500 set to, so would put in your terms,
reserve the right to cancel orders.

2.) For people who request quotes, you can use Pirateship and they will show
you the options, USPS or UPS.

Veeqo integrates all the carriers, including Fedex.

3.) Buy ACCUTECK ShipPro 110lbs x 0.1 oz. Digital Shipping Postal Scale off of
Amazon. Costs $25.

4.) Try not to use USPS Ground Advantage. It is a garbage service. Good for bubble
mailers under one pound and not much else. Slow delivery means there is more
chance of damage. Also USPS is going to get you for overage charges above a certain
size.

5.) Require insurance over $100 and make buyer pay for it.

I have so many sets, and alot of the sets I own are pieced out and are all separated
by color save for the ones I put on the store. So whats better in the long run
to sell: play the game of needle in the haystack and find the pieces, or sell
the pieces individually?

If time is money, then the amount of time to put all the pieces back together
means you would be losing in the long run. Uploading parts is a great way to
round out your store and increase orders.

Hi,

I cancelled your post because even if you cut some bits, there was still enough
to find their website.
The rest is saved below.

As for answering your question: you may contact help desk and/or report the store. 
The admins will verify.

If so, how did they obtain my email address?! I never messaged them or bought
from them.

Shall I report this store?

you mentioned the long run so if you are planning to sell for the foreseeable
future and plan to get more inventory often then parting them out is better.
usually its worth more but it can taker longer to sell unless you have lots of
other parts for sale (10,000+ lots)

If you’re looking to be around for a while and not necessarily get rid of your
sets I’d recommend parting them out. Doing this will increase your item/lot count
and should get you more orders/feedback

Hi,

You need to contact help desk to ask for it:
“Offsite payment methods (including IBAN) are available only by special permission
by contacting the Help Desk. Normally a minimum of 10 positive selling reviews
(feedback) and 3 months of selling experience are required to enable offsite
payments. Exceptions may be made in countries which do not accept PayPal or other
common onsite methods.”
