I suggest that a feedback rating of 1 or higher be required to post in the forums,

If limited to those with feedback it will turn away many users why are looking
for help and if putting a limit on how many days before they can post wouldn’t
help as then the spammers would simply lets accounts sit for however long before
using them

Im super grateful that I didn't need feedback before posting. There are so
many users on here with tremendous encyclopedic knowledge that provide valuable
support from years of experience.
I can ignore some spammers. Much love, and have an epic day!

So new users with issues are banned from getting help?

I agree somewhat but see an issue where new buyers with questions are blocked
by this.
A solution might be a captcha (only for your first post) or account activation
per email.

What is misleading about it? They both have 10 non positive feedback out of 100,
so there is the warning from the percentage praise that the buyer should check
the feedback.

It is misleading because the neutrals are treated the same as the negatives and
they are not the same.
|
They aren't being treated as the same. A store with 90 positives and 10 neutrals
has a score of 90 with a percentage praise of 90%. A store with 90 positives
and 10 negatives has a score of 80 with a percentage praise of 90%. Both have
10 non-positive feedback, hence the percentage praise acting as warning to a
buyer to check why this is by looking at the feedback.
| |
| | As mentioned before, it really comes down to what the percentage praise is for.
In my view, it is there to give a potential buyer a quick impression of how much
of the feedback is not positive and not as an ego rating.
Under the "neutrals shouldn't count" view, all these stores would
have 100 feedback at 100%. If a buyer buys from a store with 100% feedback they
would probably assume that there is no need to check the feedback as it is 100%.
|
Bad assumption. A buyer should always check the feedback page.
| | I'd prefer no percentage rating
at all, rather than a dodgy calculation that shows 100% in such circumstances.
|
The calculation is dodgy now.
| | At least with no percentage, there is no false impression that the store doesn't
have issues when in some cases there might be.
|
The current calculation gives a false impression that performance is worse than
it is.
|
It doesn't though. It tells a potential buyer how many (as a percentage)
buyers that leave feedback leave the store positive feedback.
| | | | Obviously some sellers are unhappy because they think their store is damaged
by an unwarranted neutral feedback, but I really don't think that is the
case. The percentage praise is essentially a quick reminder to check feedback,
not necessarily to leave the store. And to me, it is better to have an effective
warning system for buyers to use when looking at a store rather than an ego protection
system for sellers. That is, I see neutrals as not good service rather than seeing
them as not terrible service.
|
All well and good, but you cannot treat a neutral as a stand in for a negative,
which is what is being done now. Go ahead buyer, leave neutral feedback because
the transaction didn't warrant a negative, but we're going to tally it
up as a negative anyway.
|
It isn't treating a neutral as a negative. It is treating them both as not
positive.

As said in PM with FamilyBuild, you CAN define new and other payment methods
in Stripe (I tried) - like Alipay or Apple Pay, IDEAL, but as BrickLink only
requests/authorize VISA payments, those other payment methods are simply ignored
here.

| | Hello!
I would like to formally ask for IDEAL as a payment method for the Dutch customer's
This payment method is long been the favorite for the majority in the Netherlands.
Currently there seems to be a limitation in Stripe to add this payment method
to instant checkout.
I did search on other topics related to this : but beside one I placed in the
wrong section;
the other topics are quite old.
So please do consider this small change in the stripe platform , it will be of
great benefit for all Dutch sellers and buyers a like.
It's a very safe , trusted, and recognizable payment platform that I'm
positive will also help with onsite instant checkouts (tax collection).
Kind regards

Hi there folks.
Its been a while and a bit.
But as of now, by the looks of it:
additional payment methods seem to be activated within stripe.
Please have a look in my store and see if there are these payment methods active:
IDEAL
GIROPAY
Also check out if these payment methods are widely active among bricklink stores.
By logging into stripe, search for payment methods or navigate to settingpayment
Here can you check and or turn on addional payment methods.
By the looks of it:
Thank you for opening this up bricklink.
Looking forward to hear from stores if these are widely active.
Kind regards
FamilyBuilds
