| | I thought about something...
It was great wheen BrickLink for about a year ago had some articles where we
could meet some sellers. Fun to read and great for any BrickLinker, I think specially
for sellers.
Coldn´t we have something just the same with some buyers? Invite them to participate
and show of their collection. What do you collect? Are you a builder or just
collecting? Any special finding to tell about? What do you seek now? Any goal
whit your project, collection?
Et c.
I been a collector my self and I often think it´s not so easy to share my passion
with ordinary friends, not that many of them understand Passion of Lego at all.
Maybe more people out there thinks the same?
I think this would be a very good byer friendly marketing thing that could increase
traffic and sales to the site.
God or bad idea?

I did see a seller that has something like "send me a pic of what you built and
I'll share it on *insert social media here*" Which is something I thought
was neat. I'd love to so something like that.
In person, meh, not if they know who I am (as in they have bought from me and
now have my address). Unfortunately being a woman in a mainly "male" hobby sets
me up for all sorts of stalkers.
Honestly, I feel your pain, not being able to share, but thats what expos/events/etc
are for right?

| | Instant checkout isn't so simple. You can think you have all bases covered,
but later discover something that prevents a buyer from ordering.
In addition, we have no way to test our setup or see a buyer's cart to troubleshoot
an issue.
I use instant checkout, though I would never recommend, as I'm certain to
have lost orders because of it not functioning quite right.

This is where IC could be improved. The current postage cost could be displayed
when in the store and get updated after each addition, and flagged up if an item
is included that stops the IC working. This is pretty much how it works on BO
- it is great to see if adding one part increases the postage costs, you can
then decide whether the real cost for that part is worth it.
|
And I think on the seller's side of the interface, it should also warn that
not all weight/volume/value/country combinations are covered. I think it's
the sellers responsibility to make sure that they have it all covered, it's
not rocket science. But it is true it takes some concentration and staring at
the screen to make sure everything is OK, so an algorythm that checks if there
are no holes sounds like exactly the type of thing we have computers for.
|
The best thing that Bricklink could do and I am amazed that BL has not done this.
A sandbox for sellers to test postage options.
This would allow us all to check out settings and tweak them to make sure they
are correct for the way we want to sell.

I love this idea. I still don't have my shipping the way I'd like, mainly
because I can't see what the buyer is seeing.
I'm no dummy and I've shipped thousands of packages on 2 other platforms
before coming here and found setting up shipping to be quite difficult. This
site is not intuitive, but I suppose that weeds out most would be sellers, so
I can't complain too much.

It is not new. All the studs on the top are whitish and not 100% blue. It looks
strange. I am not sure if this is faded or not. If it is faded, it is faded in
a consistent way.
Let me know if you have or had this baseplate in the past and how you find mine
( it has dust on it but that is not an issue)

looks like playwear to me. A lot of kids used these baseplates to build mocs.

| Not a complete solution to your question, but I noticed the 0 feedback non payment
nonsense dropped to practically nothing after I added instant checkout.
Honestly I think the manual invoicing turns off or just straight up confuses
a lot of new potential customers.
Just my experience.
