| Hi again and again...
Without official news from the side of Bricklink (Again), I was wondering if
it's
not simpler to create a tool for Canadian seller to create "region on shipping
methods regarding the province of the Buyer.
By example: A seller from Quebec (Like me) will only need to create 4 shipping
methods.
- 5% GST for AB/BC/MB/NT/NU/SK/YK.
- 13% HST Ontario
- 14.98% GST+QST Quebec
- 15% HST for NB/NL/NS/PEI
But the catch is that the buyer only see the shipping methods corresponding to
his residence Province. Like that a buyer from Quebec will only see the Quebec
shipping method, an Ontarian will only see the Ontario one, etc.
Personally, I think it shouldn't be too difficult to "filter" the
buyers with their province. When they create their account, they choose their
Province in the address. The province is already stock in the database for each
Canadian account.
On the buyer side, he could assign the shipping method a new kind of region selection
in the section Destination & Base rate. If you find something much simpler to
allow the Seller to filter by province, let's go !
On the picture, an example of what it could look like
For now, I have 4 shipping methods instant checkout like in my example, but it
is the buyer who needs to choose the right one and many, ... many times they
simply
choose the default one who was the one with the cheaper charges. In that case
it is the 5% taxes who covered only the GST.
By hoping, something will happen in the near future.
Best regards
MEAD BRICKS

No.
It's optional, you can't enforce an option.
"Feedback is how you let other members know how well a transaction went."
So, if you're not interetsed to let other members know, you don't have
to.
Completed - same.

I don't believe they are asking BrickLink to force the buyer to do anything,
simply send them a reminder email if an order isn't marked Completed and
feedback has not been left. I go through my filed order list at intervals and
send reminder notes to buyers as such:
Greetings!
We were archiving older orders, and see that yours was never set as completed,
and feedback wasn't left. We'd appreciate your feedback on our transaction,
as it lets other Buyers know the level of service we provide, and we do strive
to provide excellent customer service. Thank you.

Maddening isn't it? I think 60% feedback ratio is status quo. I've
been looking at buyer feedbacks a lot lately and there are some people out there
with 2000+ who have never left feedback for anyone else.
|
Personally I find reminder to leave feedback emails to be very annoying.

Sensible. Put it forward as a Suggestion post, I say.

No, as said, because Completed means:
"Completed - Package received, contents verified, the order is completed."
And some sellers (like me) give feedback as soon as shipped, and some buyers
even before...
Transaction is completed: neither BrickLink or the seller can't decide this
- whatever the algorithm is.
Buyer paid for something, he has to say the final word, or don't - it's
not even mandatory.

Because the manual invoicing system uses custom templates and pre-dates the collection
of sales tax, VAT, etc. by BrickLink.

This is already possible; the seller needs to have the appropriate macro tags on
their invoice templates.
Here are mine for example, they work for all TAX, VAT and GST orders.

As the invoice are custom templates they need to be updated or reset manually,
they have specifications from each seller so if the admins reset them all that
would be lost and become a mess for all.
They could inject the code instead but I don't think the bricklink system
is so capable...

It is very annoying to see:
Total: US $43.77
Shipping: US $10.80
Insurance: US $0.00
Additional Charges: US $1.00
Credit: US $0.00
Grand Total: US $57.94
$43.77
$10.80
$ 1.00
-------
$55.57
There is clearly a discrepancy between the Grand Total and what is actually showing
for charges. Since taxes are not included in those charges, the discrepancy must
be the taxes.
1) This discrepancy will likely confuse many buyers.
2) Anyone who prints the invoice for business reasons will not have a paper record
of the taxes paid.
3) In case of an audit, having a record of taxes paid on paper is beneficial.

|
I don't think that's really necessary - once it's "Shipped"
it's "seller complete".
|
But is it really "seller complete"?
If the buyer should receive their order and find inconsistencies with the order,
the buyer reaches out to the seller. The seller then needs to communicate with
the buyer to try to find a solution that both can agree to.
this scenario is in play, then the seller's side is NOT complete until an
agreement can be reached, and the seller honors the agreement.
IMO the only person that should have final say on whether or not an order is
complete, is the buyer! If the buyer does not mark an order as complete, then
leave it as such. The buyer has 6 months to make a claim on any order they pay
for and after 6 months the order is "purged" from the system.
If you are a seller and it bothers you that an order is just sitting there after
you have shipped it, I say "To Bad". It is the buyer's right
to make a claim for up to 6 months REGARDLESS of your store terms because Bricklink
terms supersede store terms.
Some sellers file an order once they believe the order to be complete. I do not
know how this affects the seller's ability to help a buyer if there is a
problem, but this would seem like a decent solution for a seller if having an
order on your orders list for 6 months bothers you.
In truth no order is fully complete until it has been purged from the system
after 6 months.
I vote "YES"

EasyBuy is easy but dumb. Use the Buy page instead (Buy All button in a WL or
hover over the white heart-shaped icon and click Buy when the menu appers).
On the Buy page, you can use Auto-select that’ll give similar results to EasyBuy,
just with a couple clicks more.
Bonuses:
— you can select multiple lists,
— there’s filters (location…),
— you can even cherry-pick lots in multiple WLs (using the Wanted Items tab on
the left).
As for merging lists, yes, it’s been missing and we asked for it since the inception
of the “new” Wanted List pages, in 2016.
As a workaround, you can ‘merge’ WLs by downloading your lists and uploading
them into a new one.
Not very user-friendly but you then don’t need to use or create a tool to do
it.
