| VS, Canada, Europa I**
0,5% = balance payment
3,9% + vaste kosten = credit cards
That's for Belgium sellers receiving payments from for instance Holland.
Correct?
Or am I looking at the wrong tables?

PayPal charges sellers a fee of between 1,7% and 3,4% of the total sale plus
€0,35 EUR per transaction within the Euro zone.

| These rules you refer to, apply to commercial business only as far as I can follow
it through. So this might only be applied to those.
As all sellers and buyers alike we are expected to operate within the law.
So either we should implement ALL laws from ALL countries BL has members from,
or there's a general rule that we all stick to the local laws from the country
the seller is based in. No need to add some specific rules and leave others out.
It's either ALL or NOTHING....

| In replying to forum posts, the standard system setting is to quote the post
you are replying to. This generates LARGE texts that one has to scroll through
to get the additional post made by the poster.
Please set this standard to OFF:
- makes the forumposts cleaner
- readingspeed increases
- mouses/PGDWN-keys will last longer due to less scrolling
- less data storage needed on servers

| (probably multiple times suggested before....)
Overhaul of the NSS/NRS system required.
Regarding recent posts of blocked shops due to a cummulation of three (!) NSS's
over the last few years (!!), this system needs an overhaul.
1) NSS / NSR are in effect NO longer than a fixed time; for instance 6 months
2) users can ALWAYS review their scores on ALL the codes (NSS/NRS/NPB/OCR/etc....)
availabe for classifying orders (the data must be in the database.
Short post, needs more work, I know. Please add when wanted....... or when you
miss stuff.
If there IS a way to check your scores, please post it here AND (@ADMIN/@TECHSTAFF),
add it to the MyBrickLink page PLEASE.

Where that came frome is stored in the database, so that can be used to give

Than you must not vote no to this idea. Your NO is pointed at the incorrect additions
to the inventory. Only correct (checked, double checked, triple checked, whatever-ple

Errors in additions might also result in deduction of points.

| Interesting distinction between sellers and buyers, but ANY member can contribute.
So as a buyer doesn't have to pay BL fee's indeed, they might be up for
a generic store coupon on redeeming points. This coupon should be redeemable
at ANY store.

I think a points system would work well, different weightings for different things
you do to the catalogue, points = money off your fee's.

Agreed, didn't work that out as there are many ways to do this. Indeed there
has to be a weight factor and time factor to earn points that you can redeem
as fee discounts or coupons at specific stores. Hey, that just sounds like

| As this is still a community build and moderated site, all efforts by members
to improve the site, listings, behaviour of members etc, should result in a discount
on fees to be paid.
Bricklink should have a program that rewards members who:
- catalog contributions
- image improvements
- price guide corrections
- listings corrections
- adding help files/video's/translations
- .....
At this day, only BAD behaviour is santioned (NSS, NPB's, site and forum
bans etc....). Let us not emphasize the negative behaviour but reward the positive

| This solution does not prevent tricks like BRicksters (see other posts for details)
has pulled of succesfully over a long period of time.
Apparently the rule is:
if you can't read the feedback right, we can't be bothered when are being
scammed, it's your own fault.
We as sellers and buyers do our best to help new members getting familiar here
at BL and at the same time, they are easy prey for scavengers.
The feedback system is fine, reading is required, decisions are made by individuals
to buy stuff. But the system that provides these bad sellers needs to be addressed
and changed. NOT the feedback system (at least: not for this reason...).

Davide

I agree with you, and disagree with the proposed rule.
If the sale went through, feedback should be allowed.
Those who bother to read feedback usually can spot when the feedback is unjustified.
I am against some of the current removal of feedback that occurs.
I think feedback should be much harder to get removed than it now is.
|
To give feedback is easy, removal of feedback is easy.
Instead of focusing on a harder removal policy I think it is better to prevent
incorrect or unrelated feedback by removing the possibilty to do post them in
the first place. Prevention before correction. It also forces anyone to think
twice about the feedback the are about to give.
Anyone with revoked privileges did something that made them revoked. No need
to let the revokee do more damage to the community.

In that case I would agree that any feedback should be removed (or blocked),
because it would be for a bogus order -- an order placed after the buyer had
their buying privileges revoked.
|
Can that be done? Buying after your rights have been revoked?
Maybe the solution is worse than the action, I'm not sure.
Anyway, there must be some sort of 'holding area' where disputes are handled
and in the meantime the disputers that are 'banned' must be kept away from doing
more harm. That's my intention anyway. Banning it from all the options of BL
sounds harse indeed.... Mmm, tricky.

| | So let's assume that a user is blocked for being under age. An unscrupulous seller
decides to take advantage of this and not ship the paid order from this now-banned
buyer. Why do you feel that it is fair to community for the buyer not to be able
post appropriate feedback?
I certainly wouldn't want to deal with such a seller and would appreciate the
feedback.
|
Revoked privileges = there's something not completely right; therefor it acts
as a warning to sellers and buyers.
During this warning-period it is up to the revoked one to 'prove' the opposite.
And it is safe for the community to have it's overall posting rights revoked
as well.
Shipping to an already revoked buyer sounds like an intended act of fraud?
In Dutch you are 'te kwader trouw', meaning you are aware of the wrongfulness
of the act but you still act like it.
