1) Buyer leaves positive feedback, but doesn’t change the order status from “Shipped”
2) Buyer leaves positive feedback and changes the status to “Received” thinking
that’s it. Fairly common, actually.
3) Buyer contacts seller thanking them for the LEGO and offers praise of service
and/or product, without changing the status from “Shipped” or “Received”.
4) Buyer and seller are in communication over an order issue, which concludes
with the buyer expressing complete satisfaction with the transaction, again without
bothering to change the status.

In short, there's a good many LEGO fans that simply don’t know, don’t
care or don’t care to know about 'order status duties’ Many just wish to
buy LEGO and that’s it. Which is fine. The changing of order status by the seller
just helps a vendor to clean things up a bit, to stay organized.



Good points. I think that after 30 days if a buyer has not changed the order
status to "Complete" then they probably will fall under the category
'dont care' and will not care if the seller changes the status to complete.

E) allow Zero Feedback Members Limited Forum Access that is visible to
Moderators Only and does not post publicly.

Then the moderators could release posts to the public once they see they are
not spam. It would be great if they could then have control to, in a sense, "Unlock"
their activity after a period of time where it becomes obvious to them that the
poster is not a spammer and then their posts would no longer need to be subject
to their approval.

  For one, I will be definitely buying from stores who sort their pieces, because
if I want to buy a variant of a piece I should receive that specific piece, once
I pay. I just hope Bricklink stores won't use this as an excuse to jack up
prices if they do list their pieces properly.

How will you define the variants you want if they are no longer defined here?

Exactly! Shoppers will be getting what they ordered and paid for, they just wont
be able to easily shop for different variants of a particular piece unless they
shop at stores that specify that they actually sorting out different variants
and selling them separately, thus, shoppers will still get what they pay for.
I say this only because shoppers stating that they want what they pay for is
just not an accurate analogy for this topic.

  Hi everyone! I placed an order tο a seller for some pieces (145€ worth) and he
sent it to me but due to a mistake made by DHL the package was returned to him
and was never delivered to me. Since I discovered this, I tried contacting him
many time offering to pay again for the postage to send it back ( I know he received,
I had a new tracking number from DHL) but no answer. Should I open a case with
PayPal? I’ve tried with 5 emails and even in his language but no reply!

Just to be clear, did you send any messages thru BrickLink? The reason I ask
is because some sellers dont respond to emails but will respond to BrickLink
messages.

Jim

A very justified question my friend, of course I did, it was my first method
of contact with the seller and I have the emails from BrickLink to prove it.
And then I sent emails and then message and email translated in his language
in case he only accepts these. I’m starting to feel bad because maybe he has
some serious problems in real life and I’m concerned about my hobby, but I need
to protect myself somehow nevertheless, right?

I agree with everyone else to start a NSS followed by a PayPal claim. I was just
making sure you contacted him thru BrickLink and not just thru email before starting
the NSS.

  Recently I was asked how many pounds of GUMMIES I wanted for trade of my store.

Well your store is now closed so how many pounds did you settle for?
