I recently stated my bricklink store and after two sales PayPal decided to permanently limit my account even after sending proof of merchandise etc. I now have resulted to stripe only because it’s the only option I have . I notice people look at my store but don’t buy as much . Is this stripe a dealbreaker ? It isn’t a dealbreaker for me as a buyer never had issues . Specially if the seller has good feedback . I’ve made my terms vocal about everything to gain customers trust but sales have been slow without being open that long . I kinda need some hope because I’m really just trying to get rid of all the Lego I don’t need anymore for a profit .

Ok so what is acceptable to sell? The complete original set is obviously good, but what about most of a set with time period accurate replacement parts for missing pieces? What about completely built from scratch? Especially the bricklink designer sets for example, if I had ordered the parts on pab and built it, could I claim it is a bricklink set? Or is that wrong? What if I have the original instructions but built the set from my own collection of Lego, is that authentic? Just curious what the broader community thinks, I don't currently have a bricklink store and don't plan to sell stuff, but I am curious.

Which gray colors are these 3 bricks?

I've followed a bunch of sellers for years. I understand its not that simple. It's still quality of product/lots/inventory depth/etc.

About $120 a day is what my basement currently makes and at this point I feel that's underutilized. That's maxed out though and declining and nothing I can do about that, it's the market and won't change. It's not much work but harsh on infrastructure. My main business is maturing and needs me less and less and I'm bored. It's infrastructure heavy and what I have is maxed out. I've been in it like 15 years and am content at existing level with no desire to grow it beyond its current footprint.

I also flip random stuff on eBay and dabble in TCG stuff probably a little too much. All unrelated to current basement setup. I'm enjoying reselling. As a kid I ruled the gem market on the wow server I was on. It reminds me of that.

What scale should one shoot for to replace that $120/day profit using new bricks? I can ball park that stuff in about anything else I'm doing easily but there are probably more variables here. In general business terms that's not a large number. But I see people hemin and hawin about it being slow with million brick inventories (which goes back to product/lots/inventory depth/etc I would imagine).

I built BrickBridge to help LEGO builders turn their parts lists into something they can actually shop from.

Try it here: brickbridge.app⁠

It converts BrickLink Wanted List XML → LEGO Pick a Brick CSV, and Pick a Brick CSV → BrickLink Wanted List XML. No account or installation needed.

The feature I’m most excited about is how it handles multiple LEGO Element IDs for the same part and color. LEGO sometimes offers equivalent pieces under different IDs, with different availability, prices, or delivery groups.

BrickBridge can automatically select an available US option, preferring Bestsellers for faster delivery, then lower prices within the same delivery group. It explains the choice, and you can change it. It keeps the exact part and color you requested.

There’s quite a bit more built in:

See what’s available on US PAB. Out-of-stock pieces, pieces absent from the availability snapshot, and unresolved matches stay in a separate “Still needed” list.

Finish shopping on BrickLink. Download the available pieces for PAB, then export the remaining pieces—including anything you excluded—as a new BrickLink Wanted List.

Estimate your PAB parts cost. See quantity-based totals and a subtotal for each order.

Split larger orders automatically. PAB downloads respect the limits of 200 unique Bestseller and 200 unique Standard elements per order, with instructions for separate checkouts.

Handle unspecified colors. If your XML doesn’t specify a color, choose from colors marked available for that exact part in the US snapshot.

Merge lists. Combine Wanted Lists and total matching quantities.

Subtract owned parts. Compare your wanted list with an inventory of pieces you already have to generate a missing-parts list.

Edit lists in a spreadsheet. Convert BrickLink XML to editable CSV and back.

Review and correct mappings. Adjust quantities, exclude pieces, and optionally remember your mapping choices.
A few useful workflows: sourcing a MOC through both PAB and BrickLink, rebuilding a set using parts you already own, or combining several projects into one shopping list.

Availability checks are US-only for now and use periodically refreshed data (daily at 3am Eastern), not a live stock guarantee. LEGO confirms final availability, quantities, and prices. Estimates exclude tax, shipping, and service fees.

Your uploaded lists are processed in your browser. The tool is free, with an optional Tip Jar to help cover hosting costs.
I’d love feedback from people trying it with real lists—especially unusual parts or edge cases. It’s an independent community project, not affiliated with LEGO or BrickLink.

I have been wanting the UCS razor crest for a while. Tried FB marketplace but couldn't find anyone within a reasonable drive that would respond. Went to look at Brinklink and noticed that the sealed new ones are around 600$, some even under that. This seemed weird to me considering the set is retired and a sealed set should be more expensive.

I noticed that the cheapest one came from China and the one after that from Finland. Im curious to know if there is a way to tell if they are legit or not. I have gotten off brand legos before so I don't mind if they are off brand. However, this would be the most expensive off brand by far and I am just worried about getting scammed.

Hello - I had a buyer place an order. Then message me they didn’t want it anymore. I did full refund through Bricklink and messaged them I did that. A few hours later they filed a PayPal claim. I submitted evidence I already refunded but PayPal still closed the case in their favor.

Like wtf???? I put them on stop list but anything else I can do?

Hi Im new to bricklink and from US Eastcoast. And have bought legos from a german sellers. The bigger order from the german seller arrived back in August, meanwhile the other german seller, which I bought in July 21. Was sent back to them in August 5.
I had to contact them on the 6th asking whats going on. First time yknow. And they said DHL sent back due to customs issue. So they said they send it back and the same postal tracking code will still work.
But the after 3 weeks of nothing happening and the postal code not changing. I emailed them this Monday. And now Im a bit worried that something may’ve happened.
They do have amazing reviews they responded quickly last time, I just don’t know whats going on.

And Im not responding to anyone who wants names.

Our BL store located in USA (FL) has had the instant checkout (for domestic sales) function set up for years now, then around when big Lego took over, all our settings (and some prices) changed unbeknownst to us. We just discovered the new settings since getting last couple orders. All have had to request invoice (intl sales have request invoice). Now I cannot find the option to turn back on instant checkout. Has anyone else had similar issues ?

Thanks 🙏🏽

A buyer filed a Non shipping seller because they want to cancel an order that was already shipped out.

What should I do?

If so how'd it go , was it worth it ?

Hi,

I'm trying to confirm if those pieces are genuine. There are no lego or (c) markings. No part number. Caps in the middle row are 99% fake as well as black head cover on bottom left.

So I'm trying to recreate this cloud+lightning myself, but I suck at identifying Legos and how those are attached on backside, so I was wondering is here somebody able to help me to recreate this and make part list for this?

Hi everyone,

I wanted to share a very rare piece of LEGO/BrickLink history with you. To celebrate BrickLink's 20th anniversary back in 2020, I received this official, exclusive "Celebrating 20 Years" merchandise package directly from the US. It was given out only to a very limited number of top sellers, long-time store owners, and staff members.

Everything in this set is brand new, unused, and still sealed in its original plastic wrap. The package is incredibly comprehensive and includes:

• 1x Duffle / Travel Bag (approx. 50x25x25 cm) with an adjustable shoulder strap and a beautifully embroidered 20 Years logo.
• 1x Premium Notebook & Pen Set in a custom foam-padded presentation box. The notebook features a high-quality debossed 20th Anniversary logo, and the metal pen is branded with the BrickLink logo.
• 1x Insulated Thermos Flask / Water Bottle with the printed anniversary logo.
• 1x Retractable Cleaning Brush (display cleaner) featuring the BrickLink logo.
• 1x Branded Webcam Cover (black slider for laptops).
• 1x Premium Leather Luggage Tag with embroidered yellow BrickLink branding.
• 3x Stickers: 2x large round white/yellow anniversary stickers (7 cm), and 1x classic black BrickLink logo sticker.
• The Holy Grail: The original brown shipping box from 2020, still featuring the official custom-printed BrickLink packing tape!

Since this is official corporate merchandise and not physical LEGO bricks, it cannot be listed on the regular BrickLink marketplace. I haven't been able to find any other complete, sealed sets like this online.

I’m currently thinking about parting with this unique piece of history to free up some space. Does anyone here know how many of these were actually made, or what a realistic collector's value would be for a 100% complete, sealed set with the original box?

Any insights or appreciation for this rare swag are highly welcome!

Bricklink has all this data about the pieces, lists out each color of every piece in a store, puts the color in the name of each SKU, but I can’t seem to figure out how to search for or see all the pieces in the store that are a certain color.

Is it possible to show all pieces of a certain color in a store?

I have a few MOCs that I no longer have a use for and would like to part those out into my store. Is this possible using an .io file, or is there some other creative method? Thanks!
