They then sent me multiple emails asking me if i'd like to cancel my order. Cute tactic to avoid bad metrics. Hello, Thank you for your order. I just have received information from our fulfillment dept. that due to increased sale of this item is sold out. Its estimated arrival date is not known yet. I am really very sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused. If you decide to cancel this order, Upon receiving your request we will refund your full money back which you may spend for your new order. Part of me wants to know at what point they would cancel those on their end when you just ignore their messages Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd guess a pending late shipment on their metrics is worse than a cancelled order, but maybe I'm wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brickology101 Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 Last year at about this time some of us started seeing Lego sets becoming gated or requiring an approval to sell without the possibility of applying for an approval. When January came around all those gated sets became available to sell again. I have not seen any report of holiday gatings happening yet. Since Amazon is known to change the rules of selling on their site year after year I am starting to think that it may not happen this holiday season. What are your thoughts ?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Twain Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 Has anyone recently upgraded from individual to pro plan? What was that process like? How much time did it take? Thinking about bumping up to pro from Oct-Feb then downgrading after the holidays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vasp Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 True. No more holiday gating on performance. That's the reason prices didn't spike for a lot of legos as lots of just launched sellers got the buy box and hogged lego listings. I guess eligibility criteria for buy box is non-existent now. This is across the board not just toys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a surprising tactic to not gate toys after years of doing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe you've just been lucky in what you buy regularly? 🤪 Every week we are shorted on our deliveries. We stock up and whatever we can to avoid it but it's impossible to predict and be safe from it. Lego had shortages last year, as they do every year -- regardless of economic/supply issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should still see the weights when you go to tracking page on their website 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should have added in a point system based on years of selling on the platform. Basically you can only increase your score by selling more stuff.
