For quite some time I've wondered why the term "PCC" is used on Bricklink,
instead of the LEGO-Company term "element id."

Does anyone know?

PCC describes the code better. The first PCC's were literally a combination
of a 4-digit part code and a 2-digit color code. Some of those original PCC's
are still being used:

3024+02

3024+21

3024+23

3024+24

The new 7-digit codes aren't "smart" like that, but they do represent the
part in a specific color, as opposed to the 5-digit mold number. PCC is easier
to read and type, too.

I think the question was “Why ‘PCC’ and not ‘Element ID,’ TLG’s term?”
As TLG calls PCCs “Element ID”s, the mould number being a “Design ID.”

  Hello,

as a seller I always have this problem:

buyer submits a rash order then wants to cancel.
If you do agree, you risk the buyer leaving a negative feedback. I would surely
leave a neutral or negative for someone asking to cancel an order just because
they don't want the items anymore. But I can't leave it, as a revenge
negative is always ready.

So I deny the order cancel until they become NPB, I undergo the NPB procedure,
so the buyer isn't allowed to leave a feedback anymore.

But this way my items are BLOCKED FOR 14 DAYS (7 I have to wait + 7 I have to
wait the NPB to resolve) and no one can buy them anymore.

Instead if I was able to accept the OCR, knowing they will not be able to leave
a negative, I would do that, leave a neutral, relist my items instatly and move
on.

I don't think that removing the chance to leave a feedback if we wish to
cancel the order is so unfair. The ones who wish to cease the order, ceases the
feedback with it.

Please help us sellers.

Thanks

No. I have requested to cancel orders because the seller indicated that he did
not have the most important the items. The OCR does not have to mean that the
buyer does not want the items. Also, depending on the behaviour of the seller,
I might want to leave feedback.

I am not completely without heart. While this particular scenario has never yet
occurred, I would weigh such a story with that persons existing feedback, and
their attitude up to that point with the order. If I felt their claim to be sincere
and genuine, then yes, I would permit an OCR. But this has yet to occur. And
I will not state this openly - that would simply invite abuse of it.

  Yes, I fully support this idea - it is long overdue.

I make it clear that if a buyer places and Order, the buyer is expected to pay.
I do not accept OCR's. If the buyer refuses to pay, then it is an NPB. Period.
This protects me and, in theory, teaches people to read something before they
agree to it.

Bricklord

Hi Bricklord,

Your position is not without merit, even if I'm not in complete agreement
with it.

However, it leaves me curious...what is your policy if the buyer should inform
you that their reason for OCR submission is a financial emergency or other crisis,
such as a house flooding that leaves them no place to go/store LEGO for the time
being?

Not trying to start any fires here; as one seller to another, I'd really
appreciate your viewpoint on such a contingency.

All decorated parts have their own entry with the same number as the main part
plus pb and following number in the numbering system of them in Bricklink.
So look at 4198 as an example, you have four new decotared version of this part.
Type in search 4198pb* (with asterisk), sort by "item number" and "down", result:
https://www.bricklink.com/catalogListOld.asp?pg=1&q=4198pb%2A&catLike=W&itemBrand=1000&v=1
See all decoreted have their own separate entry. So you must now crate whole
new entry for four your parts. Thanks to this searching you see the next free
number will be
4198pb31. So crate 4 parts 4198pb with following numbers 4198pb31, 4198pb32,
4198pb33, 4198pb34, describe them in name - add in name what is their pattern.
You can see also in this search how other are named, you can create somthing
similar. But in name for this part there always must be "Duplo, Brick 2 x 4
x 2 Rounded Ends ... Pattern" for "..." you enter your description of pattern.
Then add photos for such crated parts.
Now repeat this for all your new decorated bricks: 31110, 3011, 98223, 31111.
Create new entries with "pb".

I actually saw where I went wrong.

I'd listed the images before I'd changed the numbers of the parts, and
this accepted the images which was wrong as the part(s) were already in the catalogue!

I think I've done it correctly now, and all it need is for the naming of
the parts to be tidied up.

I've also added the dimensions of the set, and if the parts can be approved,
I can add them to the inventory.

Regards,

Paul

OK great

  just a question: was it not better to keep the minifigs and just make an inv.
change?

Then all sellers would left with incomplete minifigs in such inventory changed
minifig listnings. This was also very old set, wrong minifig was long in the
catalog and also more extensive change this was than only change part variant
being already in minifig for example.
