  My idea comes from my friend group and family that lives pretty much all over
Europe and US. We would like to buy each other figures or sets for events
and holidays like Christmas, birthdays or even have a wishlist for any occassion
like a wedding registry. As we don't always know which figure or set someone
is missing and as adresses change it would be nice to have a wishlist like people
on amazon have where you pick figures or sets you need and want and someone else
can buy them for you. Content creators can put them in their bios on social media,
people can put them on their wedding registries, for their birthdays etc. People
could support their favorite content creators and not have acess to their adress,
friends that are not on the adress sharing level can also do that, members of
family can have a way easier time finding something you actually want without
the hassle of looking for it and packing and sending it. It would be a really
fun idea all around imo with a lot of ways to surprise someone.

You can add items to a Wantlist, download the list and send the file.

  Currently, when shopping, if you run across an item that needs to be reported
for one problem or another, it is a multi-step process to do so. I would like
to propose a simple "report this item" button be implemented so that simply clicking
it will take you to the "problem with item for sale" section, bring with it the
lot number from the item and when you have submitted the item, have a button
to bring you right back to where you left off so you can finish shopping.

Too often things do not get reported due to the current reporting process. A
one click reporting button with a simple return to previous page button would
be wonderful.

success!

  The only way I know of to report offending items is as follows...
1) find listing
2) roll mouse over picture of the listing
3) write the number down
4) find the problem report page, and enter the number

Please find a way to make this process easier. This is even more annoying when
after all that, the item has already been reported .

Darren

even tho its marked as discarded (at least at the time of my writing this) it
has been implemented!

I appreciate you, Milissa. But please express your opinion more directly here
within the thread you've initiated. Not secondhand or in reply to others
replying. It would carry more weight.

You being the longest held admin position on the site, it won't be unseemly
to express yourself more boldly. Not imho anyway

Because when a seller does it by mistake, we can not send a ship notice thru
the system

Thanx

Milissa

As a side note I wonder whether status should auto set to complete once buyer
has left feedback or certainly after both buyer and seller have left feedback

Sensible. Put it forward as a Suggestion post, I say.

To the best of my knowledge sellers can't set orders to received.

I don't think that's really necessary - once it's "Shipped"
it's "seller complete".

it's so terrible?

Because Completed means:
"Completed - Package received, contents verified, the order is completed."

https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1462289

It's terrible because the seller can NOT tell contents' been verified
and the buyer thinks the order is completed.

In a more generic reply, sellers should take care of their inventory, purchase
packaging, review prices, clean terms, make an attractive but sincere shop, prepare
accounting for IRS... whatever ELSE than taking care of the buyers or what's
the status of their orders.

Well put. And as to the question of why is it allowed, it could be for any number
of reasons, an accident, old feature/rules, poorly implemented, etc. it’s not
like bricklink is bug free and everything is perfect. Most things on Bricklink
have slight quirks at the very least

Yes. There are no legitimate cases for sellers to ever mark an order as completed.

Then is this functionality enabled? I have posted this question many times on
the forum and no one has posted an answer. So, here we go again:

If a seller should "never" mark an order as complete, then why does BL
allow it?


  Even if the buyer says they got their order and are happy it still is no reason
then up to the seller to mark it as complete. Those orders would then just fall
into the same category as the other ~50% of orders that would be in the exact
same circumstance aside for the message. And on the flip side letting the seller
mark it as complete can make things much more difficult for buyers.

But a seller *is* allowed to mark an order as complete. Why is it allowed if
it's so terrible?

  Just like
a buyer can’t change the order status from paid to shipped the seller should
not be allowed to change it from shipped to completed.

I really don't see the big deal. Every order has a buyer and a seller, and
if the seller feels the order is complete they have the ability to mark it as
complete. The buyer can always change it back.

Ideally there would be two types of Complete in the pulldown, one for "Seller
- Complete" and the other "Buyer - Complete".

Etc.

And the Suggestion wasn't about what could or should do the buyer, but if
the seller should or shouldn't be able to set the transaction to "Completed".

This is even easier: no (he shouldn't).

  We are not Amazon, that’s why buyers are so lazy now.

Be kind with buyers.

Be happy they do what they only HAVE to do: place an order with no problem, and
pay for it in a timely manner.

That's it.


  I like to be able to know that my customers have received their orders.

It's not your business.

You're a seller, you ship what you've been ordered for.

If there's a problem in the end, you'll be informed.

Otherwise you leave the buyer alone; we've concerns for Privacy here.

  Both this concept and Help page are outdated.

1) Fix the Help page(s).
2) Disallow the seller to change to Received or Completed.

It's an updated page:

"This document was last updated on Aug 21, 2023 19:34 by CE_Eric"

But you keep trying... it continues to be fun

Even chatGPT knows better:

"Updated" simply means that some changes or modifications have been made
to a particular piece of information, product, or service. It indicates that
the information has been refreshed or modified in some way, which could include
corrections, additions, or enhancements.

However, "updated" does not necessarily imply that the information is
not outdated. In other words, while updates may have been applied, it's possible
that those updates are insufficient to bring the information completely up-to-date,
especially if significant changes have occurred since the last update.

Therefore, it's crucial to understand that while updates are important for
maintaining accuracy and relevance, they may not always guarantee that the information
is completely current or not outdated. Users should exercise caution and consider
other factors such as the date of the last update, the pace of change in the
relevant industry or market, and any additional sources of information available.


Again, in 2024, a buyer should'nt have to click "I received my order,
how lucky I am!"
Etc.
