| Hello 
So... I purchased Lego's Pac-Man cabinet as well as LED lighting. I'm
also converting it to be motorized and I purchased the Powered Up 4-Port Hub
(85824) and a motor to run the game. As for the lighting, after all has been
installed, I'm left with a USB at the end to plug into a power source to
be manually switched. What I want to do is to plug it into the hub and have both
the motor and the LEDs controlled through the app. So as the title says, IS there
some type of adapter from the Powered Up plug to USB? Or even a train of adapters
that can lead up to a USB?
Thanks for any suggestions.

When was it received?
You've a proof of reception (but of course he received because he complains,
but for PayPal)?
Order total + shipping price?
Refunded parts price?
Qty of parts refunded // total parts?
You did well refunding what was said damaged/missing.

Then simply ignore?

It's possible they were damaged/missing.
Regarding returning goods, it's also possible - depending your conditions,
when it was received, etc.
But at the buyer cost AFAIK. NOT at your cost.

| Hello,
today something very bad happened.
An user made me an order, paid, and I shipped it.
Out of 233 parts, he declared that 1 was incorrect and 5 missing.
I went on my shop to see if I could reship the missing/wrong items but to my
surprise, none of them were available.
I don't want problems, so for a few bucks, I refunded those parts.
Probably, this buyer saw me weak because he then became demanding.
- I'm not happy with the refund. Either you send me half the shipping price
as a compensation, or I will cancel the entire order and ship it back on your
behalf.
Once noted that PayPal states that though he's entitled to, it's on HIS
behalf it became.
- No it's on your behalf. If before I said that I was ok with half shipping
price, now it's full shipping price, or I will cancel the order and open
a claim as "not as described".
I remarked that the parts not as described were refunded, but he said that he
was not needing the order as a whole.
I then went on his feedback profile and see that he already tried this trick
before. A seller paid him to ship the order back, and he never did.
Can we do something in these cases, or are we totally powerless?
I'm not speaking about the PayPal claim, I know I will win it.
But is there a way to defend ourselves from this kind of users?

Over the years, for various reasons, certain people and groups of people have
been granted special access to acquire or purchase items/elements that are not
normally available to Non-LEGO employees or even to the general public. Typically
one-time closed-door events or deals, but with full authorization to acquire
those items. Also, typically accompanied by signed or handshake agreements as
well as Non-Disclosure Agreements to NEVER sell those items to the public and
not to talk about it.
Over time, however, and as those items pass from one person or generation to
another, those agreements to never sell may be long forgotten or disregarded.
I won't give specific examples that I know about, but some have included
special access to Lego Model Shop stock rooms; or deals to purchase bricks from
special production runs of specific elements and/or colors; or gifts of special
items as non-monetary compensation; or even as items to be sold to limited audiences
to benefit a third party that LEGO corporate wished to support.
Some of this type of thing still occurs, I am sure, tho I do not have direct
knowledge of such events like I used to have.
My point is that special items someone got 20 or 30 years ago could very easily
show up being offered for sale on BrickLink. And those special items are genuine
LEGO elements.
In fact, as a buyer, I have purchased many items like that on BrickLink and even
gotten some in other ways and have seen a few others with my own eyes. My term
for those items are 'Parts that Don't Exist'. Except that they do
exist, they were just never used in any Lego sets.

Good points. Thanks
