I've definitely had buyers leave feedback before they even received their
orders - rare, but it happens. I don't know if one can do the same on eBay
(it seems one can click the "Leave Feedback" button but I don't know
if the form can be submitted), but in any case, since eBay also tracks orders,
I imagine the order isn't complete until the buyer has received it (I don't
know what happens in cases where the order can't be tracked).
I think if the buyer marks the order as "Received" and then leaves positive
feedback the order should automatically complete. Maybe when the buyer leaves
any kind of feedback? Not sure about that last part.

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!
|
See Help page of definition of Status Completed.
A positive feedback doesn't mean the order is completed.
|
It doesn't mean your original statement makes any more sense either?
|
Kind of, re-read "while it wasn't meant" as "while it could haven't
been meant".
But who cares, the fact is there's no / not always relationship between feedback
and status.
I mean apart if everything's rewritten, like status, feedbacks, alerts...
But as of right now, a quick and easy way to straighten things would be to:
* redefine the Completed status in Help,
* or make seller not able to set the order to Completed.
Right now we're discussing in vain because it's one of the points where
BrickLink doesn't work or can't be used as described
I'm off this subject, sorry.

That's okay I can round-up things then....
Basically a buyer doesn't leave feedback until they consider the order completed
thereby making the status of 'Completed' obsolete
I cannot think of a single situation where a buyer would leave feedback if they
didn't consider the order completed? Presumably they leave feedback when
they've either received goods and are happy (Order Completed) or they leave
negative/neutral feedback because they are unhappy with the sellers lack of resolve

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

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.

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 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.

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

Agreed - I have several customers that post FB as soon as I mark it shipped,
and sometimes earlier

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.

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

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.

If they implement this suggestion, then they would have fulfilled this year's

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

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".

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).

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.

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.
