Picked up some stuff I’ve been eying. Still on the fence on the Star Wars chopper set, it’s been that price before.

Sams Clubs has several sets near or above 40% off retail....some sets I havent seen on sale anywhere

The other issue lately is Amazon reversing reimbursements because the inventory was "found", but the items don't show back up in your inventory. Apparently, their system is automatically matching every lost reimbursement with found transactions and reversing them. If you open cases, they say to keep waiting because it will eventually show up.

I did get a reimbursement but it was for 1/3rd the cost of the sale. Sold Item for 289.95 - Amazon slapped a label on the exterior of the box and sent it in. I created a case calling out Amazon's Policy. Post-order lost or damaged events (customer return claims) If we elect to reimburse you for a customer return claim, the value of the reimbursement is based on the refund or replacement given to the customer on your FBA order. If Amazon refunded or replaced an item on your FBA order, we calculate the reimbursement value as the refund amount or the price of the replacement item on the original order minus applicable fees. I got reimbursed 102$. The "Source Cost" that Amazon randomly determines. I appealed the source cost calculation and ended up in chat bot hell replying "Update source cost". I spent some time looking at source cost values for various sets I'm selling. They are anywhere from 1/5th to 1/2 MSRP. Cody helmet is currently a source cost of 21$ as an example. I tried to update the source costs and nearly all of them were automatically rejected without any option to adjust cost. In essence, you have to jump through hoops to get a reimbursement and then when you do you will lose all appreciation of the set and will be reimbursed on average 1/2 the cost you paid for the item. This is going to going to affect lost units and all damaged units. Imagine they lose a pallet or a case of Lego's. If you can get them to accept you receipts for source cost you may be able to recoup most of the purchase cost, but you are losing all appreciation, time, storage costs, and shipping costs. I haven't had much luck getting the receipts accepted so the loses are far worse.

FWIW, here's one suggestion someone made:

Thank you

The beatings will continue until morale improves (or enough sellers give up).

I think this is the point where you bend over and say "thank you sir, may I have another."

Man what a brutal policy change. There seems to be no easy way to get any of your money back. I went through and tried to adjust "sourcing cost" to MSRP and those were all rejected. Half of them I couldn't even submit documentation. I'm not really sure how to approach this because they are going to steal so much money from people its actually just criminal. Every case I submit is auto replied to by a bot.

I had to add it through the app. Then when I went to pay via Paypal it showed on the Paypal screen.

How do you add the PayPal offer? Not seeing on the PayPal sire

How are people trying to fight these reimbursement claims? I have tried to get reimbursed for sets and the amounts are below my purchasing price. This is going to cost thousands of dollars If all t he damaged crap get's reimbursed at 10% value. I've tried claiming order replacement cost. Collectibles, out of print, cost of storage and time. Literal wall of nothing.

Giftcards.com has Lego cards for 10% off using code NGWLEGO. If you go through Paypal, you can add a 5% back offer for a 1 time use. Rakuten is also offering 2% back. All stack...

WOOT! LEGO Icons The Lord of The Rings: Rivendell Building Set $469.99 6% rakuten and 5% amazon

This is helpful, thank you!

Just got this. Here's what confuses me. In the past, Missing inbound cases required invoices. Since I dont like to send invoices to amazon, I usually swallow the losses. So I don't know how they can create these cases automatically if they will need documentation?

Received 8 different shipments today. Enough to spark three comments. 1. LEGO is sending Bestseller PAB parts mixed with orders now. I've always had them come separately, no matter bestseller or standard. 2. For those wondering, I received a $200 standard PAB order and was NOT charged a customs fee in the US. 3. Finally, thanks Amazon! Keep up the good work. We love you!

typically have way less fraud on $500 and up transactions. Eliminates a lot of people even being able to purchase with those dollar levels. If they are 750+ just put the required signature on there and insure if you like and shouldn't have issues as long as they get scanned delivered you're pretty much protected on that platform.

I was going through my sets “to build later” and came across some that are duplicates and some that are worth enough that I am willing to sell them. I usually sell on EBay but, for some reason, I have this uneasy feeling about it with sets of this value. I am talking sets that could have values around $1500 or so. Is it safe to sell these on EBay? Are instances of fraud higher on sets like this? Is Facebook Marketplace a better avenue?

LOL. Thanks. Lego wants me to go to AU. I type lego.com and it takes me to AU.

Check your country, looks fine to me
