  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.

Abolutely not please.

Buyer also can be too kind and post immediately a positive feedback when having
paid, or even before!

This would close the order as "Completed" while it wasn't meant

If the buyer has left feedback prior to item being received/shipped then that
would be a bit silly and they are in no better position regardless of whether
the order has been completed or not!

I've come to the conclusion that you are the type of person who just likes
to disagree for the sake of disagreeing only your counter arguments rarely ever
seem to have any substance or make any sense?

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

There's also NO reason to immediately delete a shipping method.

Simply disable it and forget it, delete it later on - it won't be shown in
your shop while disabled.

In short, there is still no reason a seller would set Completed an order

Sure there are work arounds to solve a problem. But if a seller wants to remove
a method, they cannot

We don't care.

The discussion is about: why a Seller would be able to set Completed.

Final argument being for me that this doesn't comply with the Completed status:

Sure there are work arounds to solve a problem. But if a seller wants to remove
a method, they cannot and are warned it is because there are open orders (even
if they are filed). Hence they can be tempted to complete ones that are already
months old.

There is also the issue that store wide minimum orders take into account any
disabled methods. So if you have multiple redundant methods that are disabled
you still have to edit every one of them if you want to raise the store minimum,
even though they cannot be used by a buyer. Of course, this is not the buyer's
fault (or care), just dodgy programming blocking changes.

It also seems strange that you cannot delete a shipping method while an order
is open, but you can change all the variable parameters in that method.

Can we make it so they can't?

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

  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.

Great move!

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 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.

Thanks,

M

  Please give 3001special access to all colors in the catalog, including Modulex
colors.

Often when uploading test bricks, it is hard to find the exact color, so having
all colors available is a must.

Also, some test bricks actually come in Modulex colors.

It would be great if this can be added.

Thanks,
Maxx

Moved to suggestions because this requires a code change. We can't do anything
here with our admin tools.

Thank you 👍
