Is it possible your PayPal setup is not connected to your merchant account? If
it isn't, then you need to connect it. If it is, it might be worth trying
to disconnect and re-connect.

How would you send the 2nd payment?

Seller suggests via paypal directly - not thru bricklink.

That’s against the TOS.

I don’t know about the rules in your state but if there’s Sales taxes on shipping,
by law, BL has to collect it, and BL can only do that if the payment is “onsite”
(done with the Pay button on the site, not by going on PayPal by yourself).
Otherwise, it’s tax fraud


  But still looking for what the seller needs to "fix", so the invoice
they send out is correct in the first place.

Yep, better.

OK - I looked at the Invoice - Tax was based on purchase price [not counting
shipping]. Looked at a couple of my other invoices I have - tax was based on
purchase price [not counting shipping]. So. I don't believe there is a Tax/Legal
issues here.

However, I'm still looking for what the Seller needs to do/change,
so that shipping in included in the summary part of the invoice [and is included
in the amount that is liked to the pay button]. Note: shipping is listed in
the detailed section below the summary, but not in the summary.

Do I need to post this in a different forum?

The point is:
It's not your role to tell the seller what he exactly has to change.

For multiple reasons, like Tax, PayPal protection, eventual fees avoidance, eventual
exhorbitant shipping fees etc, and as already said, the Shipping price should
be included in the order.

You shoud NOT have to pay separate amounts for a single and simple order.

If the seller can't do this, please forget it, pick another seller.

OK,
1) So how do I cancel my order without it hurting me and my bricklink ratings?
2) Does this seller need to be reported to Bricklink? If so - how?

I don't buy many boxes, but those that I do (mostly for 1980's sets)
I ask to see a photo of. Some sellers save their buyers a lot of headache and
just include a photo with the listing from the beginning.

Fun idea.

Some unsolicited advice; whatever you plan to use for the "name plate",
buy plenty of extras. I see some smudging in that example and I'm sure some
people will want to rewrite it.

Second; have you heard of the Birthday Paradox? It's states that in a group
of 23 people, there is a 50% chance two people will share a birthday, and in
group of 75 that rises to 99.9%. Instead of birthdays, think of it as two people
wanting to make the same minifig. I would post a link but don't want my
wrists slapped. Anyway, point being, rather than just enough for everyone (350),
perhaps buy 450-500 to make sure that the last 175 guests still have options.
Then you can sell the unused stuff to someone here. I'd be interested.


I'd recommend PAB as well as you'll be able to get everything from one
"store" with free shipping. Maybe do 20 of 20 different heads a wide
variety of hair styles, some mustaches than lots of various "dress clothes".


Good luck and please post photos when it's done.

I mean, the line gets real blurry.

Separated:
1) so buyer can pick any combination
2) you don't assemble aka "play with parts" what comes unassembled
3) it's less physical work
4) your shop shows a higher lot quantity

From parting out 11022, I have 16 each of

 
Part No: 3679  Name: Turntable 2 x 2 Plate, Top
* 
3679 Turntable 2 x 2 Plate, Top
Parts: Turntable {Light Bluish Gray}
and
 
Part No: 3680  Name: Turntable 2 x 2 Plate, Base
* 
3680 Turntable 2 x 2 Plate, Base
Parts: Turntable {Dark Turquoise}

Is it better to sell them separately or together as

 
Part No: 3680c02  Name: Turntable 2 x 2 Plate with Light Bluish Gray Top (3680 / 3679)
* 
3680c02 (Inv) Turntable 2 x 2 Plate with Light Bluish Gray Top (3680 / 3679)
Parts: Turntable {Dark Turquoise}

Is it sexist to sell them separately? Is it sexist to not sell them separately?
I mean, the line gets real blurry.

I would recommend using Lego Pick-A-Brick for this, as you can sort by minifigure
parts & order in high quantities when compared to the average Bricklink store

Normally I'd recommend Bricklink over PAB, but PAB is a much better option
in this case
