Well, how do you know you packed all your orders correctly? Just a feeling, you
never know for sure of course if it comes to actual evidence. But as soon as
I open an order with a message attached to it I notice that right away, it's
the very first thing I notice. Right as you open the order, where there's
otherwise nothing, there's suddenly an icon, and a line "This order has an
attached message (view it)". In my opinion that is very clear. To the people
who do miss it, isn't simply a bigger font, bigger icon, enough?
If I would get the message in my inbox also, as sort of a duplicate thing, it
would make things less clear to me as it will show up as an item I need to handle
while I already did or already am going to. I will be more likely to miss
real messages that way or mix up something. The "(un)read" flag would lose parts
of its meaning as there will be messages that have already been read but still
appear unread in the inbox.
In my opinion anything regarding the processing of an order should be strictly
on that order page, and everything else - general inquiries, service - should
be in the inbox. I don't go through messages and orders crosswise, I have
a list of orders I need to do and a list of messages I need to work through and
I do one of these tasks at a time.

The 'note to seller' is also in the order confirmation email.
Do you read the confirmation email?
Perhaps the order of the order details page should be customizable. Then the
notes can be moved to the top between the Details and parts section.

You mean just as a "regarding order ..." message and not attached to the order
itself? In that case, no!
I don't process orders and read messages at the same time. I always read
the attached notes and never missed one. But if it's troublesome to others,
maybe change placement, font, something in the interface. But definitely, for
bricks sake, doooon't detach it from the order page... :o
|
I agree with you that the message shouldn't be detached from the order page.
When a buyer sends a message from the order page it is appears on the order page,
in the buyer's outbox as well as in the seller's inbox. When a seller
sends a message from the order page it appears on the order page, in the seller's
outbox as well as the buyer's inbox. I think it should work the same way
with a message that is attached to the order when the order is placed. A seller
would then be reminded at log in to Bricklink if there are any unread messages.
.. How do you know that you've never missed a message?

You are correct that this isn't consistent. However, BrickHeadz should
not be in the set names, as the catalog doesn't normally include the theme
name in front of the official set name. Thanks for pointing out the inconsistency.

Hi,
I stated that associating emails with countries would be messy (i.e. I agree
with you), and I was not supporting the original suggestion.
But instead I wondered if BrickLink could verify member addresses against IP
address locations. A recent transaction indicates that PayPal is doing something
like this.
Sorry to cancel my previous post, not knowing if anyone might be replying. This
forum is a lot of (good) clutter, and after posting I weigh the value of my inputs
against adding to the clutter.
Thanks for the IBAN information, Matthew

I know this is imperfect, not to mention a little big brother-ish, however it
would clean up the accuracy of members' locations and probably reduce order
problems.

| | Do IBAN transfers use a particular service? I guess I need to conduct such a
transaction to see how they work. If they can decrease fraud with greater payee
control over funds, that sounds nice.

So-called “IBAN transfers” are just bank transfers.
When you do a bank transfer, you need to identify the accounts (more precisely,
the banks and the accounts within the banks), so that the banks can talk to each
other. IBAN (International Bank Account Number), is just a scheme to identify
accounts, it’s an international standard, ISO 13616.
One other identifier that’s often used is BIC (Business Identifier Code), which
identifies the bank in the Swift network (an agreement network between banks).
In the olden times (and in remote locations), transfers were (still are) a PITA,
involving letters and faxes to correctly identify and verify who’s who. When
it’s at all possible.
In the modern times (and enlightened countries   ), you just need an IBAN.
There are services that proxies for the banks, like iDEAL (NL-based), making
bank transfers a bit easier than from the bank’s own website, and “instant” (meaning
they can immediately tell the receiver the transfer has been entered).
What’s great in EU is that we created an(other) agreement: SEPA, which states,
among other things, that any payment in Euro in the SEP-Area has to be treated
the same way as a local payment. And as local bank transfers have mostly become
free in the past decades (especially online), that means they are mostly free
for the whole SEP-Area 
So, see if you have an IBAN somewhere in your bank papers, or ask your bank if
you can easily (and cheaply) receive or send international bank transfers with
just an IBAN.
And if your bank can’t or won’t, you can still see if another one does. Opening
an account shouldn’t be expensive, even in the USA. (Don’t you get a free toaster
when you do? That’s what I learned watching US shows )

Yes true Nico, I'll agree, but just got another fake account ordering from

Provide a proof of his address is legit in france (e.g. electricity bill) and
