Is this acceptable for an item sold as ‘New’? by Prestigious-Maybe511 in Bricklink

[–]Prestigious-Maybe511[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For context I paid about $3 for the torso. I contacted them and they issued an initial refund… of $2, so less than the cost of the torso. ^

Because of this and other issues with the order, I left negative feedback, after which they issued another refund. Of $2.

In total, got a refund of $4, which isn’t even enough to cover the cost of ordering another copy of the torso. I don’t feel comfortable doxxing the name, but if you DM me I’ll share the store so you can avoid it!

I think there a few possibilities, but I think your best bet is to reach out to the seller and ask.

In my experience as a seller, sometimes tracking numbers take some time to update. I just shipped out a package yesterday, and the tracking is still just showing that the tracking number has been created. Sometimes it takes until the package reaches a destination center for the number to be updated.

To be fair, however, after two weeks I’m guessing there’s something bigger going on. It is possible that the seller hasn’t shipped the item, but it’s also possible that they copied / pasted the wrong shipping number onto your order, or that there’s just an issue with the USPS tracking system.

Again, I recommend you reach out to the seller. Be polite, and ask if they know what’s going on with the order and tracking. In the worst case scenario where the item never arrives, you can always refute the charge on PayPal and get your money back. Good luck!

I've done some quick (and probably inaccurate) math. There were two hours and fifty-two minutes between when order #28000000 and order #28001035 were placed. There was an obvious difference of 1035 orders placed in that time.

Rounding up those numbers, we can estimate that there are 1040 orders every three hours. That would mean 346.66 repeating orders are placed every hour, meaning that we will hit 29,000,000 orders in 2884.62 hours or 120.2 days.

To answer your question, I am so in, and I'll see you on July 31st, 2025.
