I would propose 3 additional days and that is it. Let us get our stock back

full days when 10 is plenty enough.

OK then in return I propose that we buyers can initiate and complete NRS and
NSS after proportionally shorter time. If sellers want to give us buyers less
time to make the payment, then they should also have less time to issue invoices
and ship. Something for something. As a side note, I would like to mention that
in Europe many payments are still made by conventional bank transfer, which may
take few days to complete (and will only be processed on business days).
Final comment: Sellers that want to push for high-speed payment should accept
the fact that for 99% of buyers this is a hobby whereas for a considerable fraction
of sellers it is a full- or part-time business. We buyers typically have a normal
job and need to find the time to do things related to BL.

14 days is the basic level of customer service. And if nothing is defined in
the terms, the legal term is even 30 days.
14 days is also the legal amount of time a buyer has to change their mind about
an order and return it. It wouldn't make much sense to me to on the one hand
force a buyer to pay quicker than 14 days when after that they still have a couple
of days they can get their money back.

I don't know about other countries but over here 14 days is a widely accepted
standard term for invoices to be paid. Sometimes it's longer, but it's
never less than 14 days. I wouldn't find it professional if a company gave
me an invoice that had to be paid in less than 14 days.
Also, inventory moves slowly and parts typically take over a year to sell. I
don't see how a few extra days for a fraction of the inventory are so important.
Bricklink downtime should be a way bigger concern.

| Have you taken a look at the Brick Seller store management online app?
It has some nice part out features. It will even recommend a storage location
(in the remarks field) for items you already have in your inventory.
You can find a link to it on the BrickLink Links page here: https://www.bricklink.com/links.asp?catID=9

| | At the moment I have to search very time-consuming for the remarks when distributing
new parts, which are already in my invetory. Currently I always have to jump
into the inventory and take over the remark.
My suggestion would be to transfer the existing remarks already into the corresponding
fields. This function can also be optional (only if I want to transfer the old
remarks).
I would be very happy about this function.
Thanks and greetings

...and actually know when stuff happened on Bricklink? Like knowing when messages
between buyers and sellers were sent, or when an order status changed?! No
way, don't mess with cultural heritage! The internet's last forum without
timezones. It's like living in history! (also because, well, the time stamps
always indicate an earlier time than it is here)

This is exactly why I just cancel the order and never file NPB. It just takes
two long. 2 weeks is insane. It shouldn't take a week to pay. It shouldn't
take more than a few days to pay, if you don't have the money don't order
stuff, pretty simple. I know a lot of buyers are getting let off the hook by
this but I don't have the time or patience and I don't want my inventory
constantly tied up for a fortnight. I just cancel the order ban the buyer and
move on.

Once again a constant thread and everyone agrees with it except Bricklink for
some strange reason. Why should we have to let our inventory be tied up for two
weeks or longer when someone isn't going to pay for their order.
Bring the business side of the site into the 21st century, please - IC doesn't
work for all and for those that do not use it this is a real pain and totally
unnecessary.

how frustrating it would be if you went on Amazon or Walmart to buy something

You mean like when I go to Amazon and the products I want to buy are for Prime
members only. Not the sale price, mind you, the actual item. If you aren't
in prime you can't buy it for any price. Yeah it sucks bad and is one of
the reasons why Amazon is always the last place I check now after exhausting
literally all other options.

It isn't and this has been around since day 1. Nothing has ever been done
about it.

I would really like to see more pics of our member’s pet. What do you think about
showing or introduce your animal companion to the BL membership here on the forum?
I suggest a new forum subtopic, under Off Topic: Pets
Anecdotes and/or pics of your pets? Maybe of interrupting your lego work or other
mischief. Or just an introduction of your nonhuman companion, new or old. What
your pet did today
Even though we don't have furry companions (son's allergies) we really
enjoy animal pics and stories. Think most do, evidenced by it's popularity
on youtube.
What do think? Think there is enough interest to warrant a sub-topic in the forum?

Well done, Darcy!
We (I do) tend to forget all the ways they help us beyond just being the best,
loyal companion possible.

they decided to throw-in with us hairless two legged types, long ago
