I am on the forum all day and report at least 4 or 5 spam members per day.
I would be very appreciated. But the last spam doesn't have any link in its

You'd don't think that was intentional misdirection, Nicolas?

It's the first I've seen without links, anyway

You're right, the first without link ! Are bots enough smart ? I don't
think so... It won't last !

Yes, they're progressing. We've seen improvements in NubsGPT!

Decool is a knockoff brand, they copy LEGO sets and design.

Real one would have the LEGO logo on the neck stud and hips. A fake can also
be printed on real LEGO parts, but then someone custom prints on it.

I found a picture from Flicker, a comparison between Decool and LEGO® and I can
assure you, this one is a Decool copy ! Sorry

Nicolas

That is why I ask what is is a Decool and what would the real one have on it
mainly so I can explain to my kid he got super excited before he left for school.

Sorry, I can't put a link here but the picture is from Robuko on Flickr.
I can't copy the picture here even if I would, rights reserved...
Search for comparison Decool LEGO SDCC, you will find it
Hope you understand !

Before we get excited, is there a lego logo on the torso and legs?


Sadly Marvel figs are faked ALOT. It's not worth getting excited yet unless
you guys actually got it at CC in person.

It was auto hidden by the website because the spammer put it in HTML tags.

Thanks. Good to learn

How about any new member wishing to post on the forums has to wash an existing
members car before they can post to prove their sincerity?

As you pick an order, group all the items in small piles of 5.
When done picking, it should be super easy to count. If the final total items
picked matches the total order items, then odds are the order was picked correctly.

It's the most useful selling tip I've encountered.
This has been shared in the forum before (which is how I first learned it), but
I thought it's worthwhile to bring it up again because I see forum complaints
often like "over half of my orders on BL are wrong missing pieces"...
etc...

This usefulness will also vary depending on the types of orders you get as a
seller.

MOST of mine are all small items and less than 100pcs so this method is pretty
easy. It works for larger orders too, just need more space/larger groups or a
mix of both.

It still saves me from a short pick here and there and since using it, my error
rate has gone down considerably.

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.
