Amazon is probably saying you have not forked enough money to them

Seems like they are eligible.

Are you listings eligible for feature offers ?

Amazon changed something with my account. Until a week ago, I was getting the buy box consistently on several products, but for the last seven days, my buy-box instances have literally been 0. I did some tests by lowering my price way below the buy-box price, but I am still not ever getting the buy box. Has anyone here had this happen before?

Originally a heavy Star Wars landscape MOC focused channel, Coconut Brick Studios has recently been slowly assembling a cyberpunk city with different factions vying for control. Unfortunately, there is not a convenient playlist, but I did include the first and most recent clips towards the series here. The second one is actual progress starting cityscape itself.

I mean that straight up is the chocolate room, chockful of colors & the bizarre. The variety of pieces and diverse palette makes this set a wonderful parts pack. Waiting for a review to show that chocolate fall in motion. Also, never get a better excuse to post this so....

I do have a store, but it's pretty minor. I've done much more on Ebay and Amazon. I get your point and not trying to minimize it, but it's the same as selling anywhere else. The seller has no recourse for policy changes (buyouts and policy changes). I figure it's all part of not having the upfront costs that might occur elsewhere, had I made my own website or opened my own store.

It is busy but that room was crazy packed with candy/sweets goodness! I think the set actually looks good and captures that scene very well.

Straight up hot mess.

Wayyy too busy

I have a Bricklink store but I have never opened it or really done much with it. Lately I have been organizing , adding parts and getting all of the necessary ducks in a row. This is setting me back a little bit as I think it might be best for me to wait till the dust has settled .

Actually, it is more like having an agreement with one person, then having a second person buying the system while stating "we will not be interfering with the selling process." But I guess, if I saw things like you stated, I would have no room to complain if my electricity bill went up 3x. After all, the only signed contract is that I will pay my bill, not how much I'll be charged. From a business perspective, I'm at the electric company's mercy. I mean, after all, couldn't you just Will Prowse your home and store your own electricity? BTW, the whole website comment above reminds me of another way this affects sellers: Many of us have purchased and kept domain names for years to point at our BrickLink site. it's much easier to tell someone to go to mybricks.com than explain how to find your store once they find BrickLink. @iahawks550, I'm curious. Do you run a BrickLink store? If so, for how long? It would be interesting to get people's take on this vs their time as a seller.

I get the frustration, but you could always make your own website? Whenever you are reliant on a third party, with no signed contract regarding obligations, isn't it expected you are at their mercy, from a business perspective.

The move is a bullshit one for larger stores that have worked to build a name for themselves. I have over 2000 business cards with my name on it and now they expect me to change my name?!? To change my avatar? LEGO would be better suited worrying about Pantasy, Lumibricks, etc instead of exerting control over sellers.

Yeah, the latest "update" is that if you don't merge your accounts by the end of the year your Bricklink account will be deleted, not just suspended but gone.

Bricklink has been pretty ruthless about merging accounts without even asking. Dont think it will be worth trying g to resist unless one truly has multiple shipping billing locations.

Interesting question. I never thought about that. I do not want to link my bricklink and Lego accounts at all. I plan to see if I can set up another Lego "dummy" account and link the two.
