Bricklink can't you do a sweep of these errant listings and send the seller
a warning? Maybe query sets that are listed as complete but have the word "missing"
or "no minifigs" in the comments
I know you don't want to make changes automatically (the seller could have
written "no missing minifigures" or something) but it is a long and slow process
to find these one by one. And there are thousands of them listed.
Sounds like a lot of work? You are probably losing money too. The average
sold price is lower than it should be because so many incomplete sets are being
sold as complete. If sellers saw the real average price they would set their
prices higher and Bricklink would benefit from the higher commission.
For example I recently listed Star Wars set. The cheapest 3 currently available
(listed as complete) are $15, $20 and $24. None of them are complete according
to the sellers description.
The average sold for this set is $22 but since 3 of the sold sets were prices
$15, $15 and $21 they were probably incomplete but sold as complete and now are
polluting the price guide. The correct average sold is about $27

I hope your not suggestion that BL do a sweep by checking each and every listing
of every set listed by every seller or even just the least expensive listing
of each and every set? If you are then that would take so much time and effort
that it would be, well for lack of a better word, ridiculous. If I have miss
understand you then I apologize.

| | And a question (or questions) for a question (not addressed to you), why does
BrickLink not address this decade-old concern?
Is there a bona fide problem with giving sellers & buyers say "only" 6 days to
get something done (like the courtesy of sending of simple message) rather than
the current 14 days?
If yes, what's the problem?
Is instant checkout their one-size-fits-all solution?
Have they told anyone this?
If they have, is there some place to find their positions outside of this needle-in-a-haystack
forum (where I add hay such as this), where administrators' positions are
very low in number and extremely hard to find?
Are they taking the eBay road and discounting the importance of low volume buyers
and sellers?
And did I say "Whoopdeedoo" yet?

You really dont even have to wait one day, just cancel the order and move on.
If you are concerned about getting a negative feedback then just wait the alloted
time.
You have the ability to cancel the order so there is no need to downgrade BrickLink
for their policies (not your first posts, just this one)? And remember, you agreed
to these policies when you signed up to be a seller here on BrickLink as we all
did.

"My interest" is very subjective. The problem is that so many feel the same way
as you do so in that when a change or changes are made and it dose not benefit
what they consider 'their interest' then you get this...

That gave me a good laugh, it sounds exactly like something you would say.
