Anyone able to find 40493 - Spider & Haunted House on Amazon? I have a few to sell, but I'm not seeing a listing for it. It's been a while since I've tried to add a set; are we peasants still able to do so (in case it is indeed does not have a listing)?

Hmm, I can totally see Di$ney demanding more money for using the name (ie. the name is a separate license). Perhaps the set would have cost $399.99 had it been called the Black Pearl.

It’s crazy but there is zero mention of The Black Pearl in the manual, except in the use of movie’s name. That’s it. It does look like LEGO/Disney went to great lengths to avoid calling it The Black Pearl. When I spoke to the lead designer Mike Psiaki, he dodged the question, stating that it was an internal LEGO/Disney decision on why to name the set as such, which is frustrating for anyone looking for answers. I’m not entirely convinced that it was Disney’s decision to block the use of The Black Pearl, as they’ve licensed products out like bags to Loungefly (another Disney IP partner), who have a recent bag called The Black Pearl, so who knows what the real story is. ETA: Mike P is the designer of Rivendell, Lion Knights Castle, Titanic and more.

Curious, why did LEGO not call this the Black Pearl ???

$299.99 would've been fine.....$379.99 is ridiculous

I am doing only FBM at the moment, but I was consistently getting the buy box with several FBM items until Amazon removed my eligibility for Featured Offer. I'll probably try FBA again to see if that restores eligibility.

I'm excited for it, but agree with some of the reviewers that the price seems off.

Jang chooses Blepin!

Even FBA items?

An army of MOCs based around the Series 12 Space Miner minifigure.

I’m still eligible . Most of the time it is just temporary

Amazon completely removed my Featured Offer eligibility, so I'm not eligible to even be considered for the buy box at all. I am guessing this might be related to all the ASIN creation policy violations that Amazon recently sent out. I contacted Amazon Seller Support, but they aren't helpful; they say they can't tell me what factors have caused me to become ineligible. Is this happening to anyone else or just lucky little me? This has been devastating to my sales. I've sold four items in the past two weeks, which is an unprecedented low.

And before I sold on Amazon, as an ebay seller I made absolutely sure to put an invoice in every one of those packages so the Amazon buyer knew they got hosed. Sometimes I even wrote them a note.

It's a violation. And many eBay sellers are terrible at packing items and/or shipping on time. Amazon probably doesn't want customers receiving orders in diaper boxes with old newspaper as void filler. "Drop Shipping Policy Drop shipping, or allowing a third-party to fulfill orders to customers on your behalf, is not acceptable unless it is clear to the customer that you are the seller of record. The following examples of drop shipping are policy violations that may result in a restriction of your ability to sell using Amazon’s Merchant Fulfilled Network (MFN): Purchasing products from a third party, including Amazon or another seller in Amazon’s stores, and having that third party ship directly to customers, if the shipment does not identify you as the seller of record or if anyone other than you (including the third party) appears on packing slips, invoices, or external packaging, it is strictly prohibited without exception; or Shipping orders with packing slips, invoices, external packaging, or other information indicating a seller name or contact information other than your own is also strictly prohibited. Any time a customer sees packaging, invoices, or receipts identifying a seller that is not you it creates confusion for the customer about how their order is being fulfilled and whom they should contact with any problems or questions. If you intend to fulfill orders using another company’s fulfillment service, a third-party logistics company, or a drop shipper, you must always: Have an agreement with your supplier where you are the only seller of record and the only entity identified as the seller of your products on all packing slips, invoices, external packaging, or any other information included or provided in connection with the products; Remove any packing slips, invoices, external packaging, or other information identifying a different seller or third-party supplier prior to shipping the order; and Remain responsible for accepting and processing customer returns, and always comply to the: Business Solutions Agreement (BSA) and applicable Amazon policies."
