That's a relief!

Any plans on enabling the Share Wanted List function? The "Feature Coming
Soon!" note has been there for years. If a buyer is interested in an incomplete
set it would make things easier if a seller could share a wanted list of the
missing pieces for the incomplete set. The buyer could then quickly see what's
missing and/or price it out.

I didn't understand at all the most recent one (about this subject, at least),
and apparently I'm not alone 
Now you've got another task Russell: to write the Newsletters!
I'm sure you're happy.

Used items do have lots of demand and do sell but take more time to list.
Also you have
"We are not responsible for lost or stolen items."
which you may want to change as the seller is fully responsible for the package
until tracking marks it as delivered

I'll change that now, I didn't think about that honestly. Thank you so
much for your input.

| At what point does it stop counting as an "incomplete" set?
For example if someone listed a as "incomplete, missing the
green roof part" is that still valid as an "incomplete" set? (even
though its missing the only part that makes the set unique)
Or if someone listed a as "incomplete, missing Boba Fett"
(but with all the other minifigs and parts), is that still valid as an "incomplete"
set?
Or if someone listed a as "incomplete, missing dark red
car and criminal minifig", is that still valid as an "incomplete"
set?

The newsletter was badly written. It definitely looked to me like a new policy
intended to drive incomplete sets from Bricklink to eBay.

| Come check out my newly opened store with only new parts. Curious do people prefer
used parts over new parts? We just opened and will be growing over time and are
excited to have the opportunity to serve fellow lego fanatics such as ourselves.
We are looking at adding used parts too if the need is there.

Listing incomplete sets
Let's talk about incomplete listings! Our Item Condition policy only allows
certain parts of a set to be missing, such as instructions or original packaging,
to qualify it as Incomplete.
When you list sets that are missing minifigures or just the minifigures from
a set, they should not be listed as an incomplete set. They are qualified as
'Custom items'. The process for listing them is the same, except that
you should check the 'Custom item' check box, as shown below.
Listing items as 'Custom' not only helps buyers in their search for specific
items, but it also helps keep our price guide more precise for sellers.
OK, so it seems if you remove the minifigures from a set, or sell part of a set,
that set can no longer be listed as incomplete but has to be listed as a custom
lot. What is an incomplete set. It says this policy change (?) is to keep the
price guide precise for sellers, but what are you comparing when looking at incomplete
sets?
If a set has 10 minifigures, and is missing 1, is it an incomplete set? What
about 5, or 9. According to the official statement missing all 10 is not an incomplete
set but a custom lot. So where is tge critical point?
Same with parts, how much can be missing and still be an incomplete set? And
if someone else has sold an incomplete set, how do I know how complete/incomplete
it was?
This seems to be a huge policy change, especially the part that an incomplete
set can only be missing the box and instructions. That was previously allowed
under the definition of a used but complete set, and my understanding was that
a used set could be complete if it was missing just the box and/or instructions,
but a seller should add comments to say these were missing.

By that point i would set the report listing feature to that it automaticly triggers
a lot into a custom listing on 1st report, and have a looksie by moderator or
personel after 2+ reports.. they already have massively tied hands when it comes

It is still not obvious to me hat can be done with a set that is missing one
part. Is it now that you must either complete the set or part it out into minifigures
and individual parts or custom lots.
In a way it looks like they are trying to match what they did with minifigures
but the big difference is that there is an existing setting for incomplete sets
whereas there was no setting for incomplete minifigures.

Makes sense. The one I'm referring to this week was fixed/relisted eventually.
