There is a reason sellers might want to set an order to complete.
If you want to delete an old shipping method, you cannot if there is an open
order using that method, even if it was delivered months ago and feedback left.
Obviously you can disable the shipping method, change the name if it conflicts
with another name, set the minimum order value for that shipping method to 9999
if it conflicts with a change in the store minimum order value, but all that
is a faff just because someone hasn't marked an order as complete.
|
Like you mentioned you can simply choose disable and it will be off and then
in 6-months you can delete it. Plus that way your guaranteed not to potentially
cause issues to the buyer

| I asked this same thing previously but it is kind of a manual process that I
chose. You can use the apply order in the Wat list at the top but if you have
2 orders with the same part you can accidently apply some parts twice if you
are not careful.
I ended up using BrickStore which is a free program that connects to Bricklink.
I download my orders and then sort by part number. Once I have this I go to the
Search in the Want List menu and search for that part. Then, I can compare the
numbers and update the have quantities.

| I already found a way to add parts from an order to My Collection (using XML).
To avoid ordering the same part again, it would be helpful to see how many of
that part is already in my collection when building a Wanted List.
The "Have" box in the Wanted List is just valid for that list, and entered
one part by one, as far as I could see, so that doesn't help. I'm not
a seller, so I just want to use My Collection to track what I already have and
use it to build new Wanted lists.

If this was common buyer behaviour because a tool allows it, sellers would double
their prices and offer 50 % off on everything.
Some already do that type of thing, and advertise fake sales in the forum.

I think if we had it you would come to see it was useless. If you were choosing
between Walmart, Target, or TRU, it would be useful, but different shops on Bricklink
routinely list things 3-4 times as much as other stores and those tend to be
the ones running sales. You can’t get much of an idea where you will get the
lowest prices by sorting by sale %.

Voted no, because of the idea of supporting content creators. This would be abused
from both sides. The buyer has no idea if the seller sends the item. Similarly,
there is no eller protection as the buyer asks for it to be sent to a different
address to their payment address.

Because Completed means:

It's terrible because the seller can NOT tell contents' been verified

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".

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,

And then after opening the parcel: "Wow, it contains what I paid for!".
Buyer shouldn't HAVE to do this.

We are not Amazon, that’s why buyers are so lazy now.
| Both this concept and Help page are outdated.
1) Fix the Help page(s).
|
Please do
| 2) Disallow the seller to change to Received or Completed.
|
Why?
Other that the incompetent buyers who are to lazy to do it them selfs I see no
problem.
I like to be able to know that my customers have received their orders.

There are fairly common scenarios in which a seller might consider setting a
sent order status to “Completed” Just a few…
1) Buyer leaves positive feedback, but doesn’t change the order status from “Shipped”
|
Just file it.
| 2) Buyer messages seller, thanking and/or offering praise of service or product
without changing the status.
|
Just file it.
| 3) Buyer and seller are in communication over an order issue, which concludes
with the buyer expressing to the seller, their complete satisfaction with the
transaction. Here, the seller might not wish to task the already tasked buyer
further, by asking them to change the status and rather takes care it themself.
|
Just file it.
|
There are a good many LEGO fans that simply don’t know, don’t care, or don’t
care to know about order status 'duties’ and just wanna buy LEGO, that’s
it. Which is fine. The changing of order status by the seller simply helps a
vendor clean things up a bit, to stay organized. I does for me anyway.
|
The only order duty a buyer has is to pay. After that is the seller shipping
it and nothing else, as a commerce platform there is no further need to
do anything else.

What part of this explicit statement of mine...
“There are a good many LEGO fans that simply don’t know, don’t care, or
don’t care to know about order status 'duties’ and just wanna buy LEGO, that’s
it. Which is fine”
... does not align with the sentiment of your reply, or are you just repeating
back in argumentative form, what’s been expressed? The latter does not advance
discussion
My attitude is relatively the same as yours and Milissa's, never really cared
if my buyers used the status change, not as much as is occasionally expressed
in forum by others. Just rather keep the seller ability in place, is all.
As to order status ‘duties’ and importance: None "need" as you
say, fulfill those. But it is a significant form of communications within a transaction,
helpful to both parties. Otherwise, why bother having the ability for both buyer
and seller.
|
And let's substitute the term "duties" with tasks, if that
facilitates better understand: https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=1138
|
Opening sentence: "Buyer and Seller each have tasks to complete
during the lifetime of an order"
Under Buyer "Change Order Status to Completed - Change the Order
Status Received when you have received your package (but have not yet verified
its contents or there is a problem). When you verify the contents of your package
and consider the order completed, change the order status Completed"
I've always maintained that I personally don't care if my buyers fulfill
their task, not really, and will gladly handle it when needed.

Thanks to Cory, I reread the Help:
https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=41&q=status
... which says:
Received - Package has been received but the buyer has not yet verified the contents
on the package.
Completed - Package received, contents verified, the order is completed.
So there is no way the seller could decide that the package is received (as tracking
isn't truth like map isn't territory), and / or the order had been verified
by the buyer, and the buyer to agree the order is completed.
In short, as per BrickLink Help it shouldn't be technically allowed for a
seller to change this.
Implementing this would just, in fact, correspond to the terms of the Help /
guidelines / terms of BrickLink.
Or change the BrickLink Help page.

But just an opinion based on my experience as a BL vendor, and very obviously
not that some other sellers.

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