This time, the order has a different shipping address, a different name, and the buyer says it is a gift and I should not specify any price or add any invoice or bill to the envelope. I clearly sense a dropshipping case here. Is it allowed on bricklink? I believe it's allowed, one wishes that buyers would be a bit more honest though. But a nothing says a dropshipper couldn't order from bricklink. Besides there are tons of different reasons to ship to a different address: a gift, item you were short on, completing a transaction, trades how and shipping to hotel, business partner, relative that doesn't like the internet, friend that doesn't want the hassle to setup a bl account. Yes, to be clear a BrickLink seller can't dropship since BL sellers can only list what they actually have in inventory (maybe an exception can be made for inventory mistakes, etc.). But there isn't anything stopping people from listing on e.g., eBay, and then dropshipping from BL. Yes exactly this ^ Bricklink doesn't want people selling what they don't have to hand here because that can create a bad buyer experience. However it will be of little concern to Bricklink if the buyer is shopping from another platform and the goods are drop shipping from Bricklink The only time we step in is if the dropshipper is a professional buyer and starts giving sellers a hard time about orders that didn't go well. Otherwise, we tolerate them - because a lot of our sellers appreciate the business.
