Please keep us updated if you get even more least favorite hits from this thread.

The opposite happened, if it makes you feel any better. Gained a few store most-favorites
after this post, and lost 2 least-favorites.

Least-favoriting a store is now used as a weapon when someone is mad at someone.
I want to suggest that you can only favorite a store by having placed an order
at that store. This way you can at least tell if buyers least-favorited you.

Thoughts?

How is that a weapon?... It's just a tool for buyers to quickly mark/flag
sellers, it beats having to track everything down with a notepad.

And how am I supposed to know how many of those favorites are from buyers?

Since anyone can buy, technically they are all from buyers.
But, are you trying to determine if your store's least favourite list is
from past buyers?

That's what I'm trying to do. Maybe even a "note" on the store would
work (I thought I saw it somewhere, but I could be wrong)

I wasn't around for this but apparently people used to be able to see the
reason why and if that came out again people just wouldn't use it.

I am going to go out on a limb and say most or all of my least favourite are
not past customers.
They are probably people that don't like the way I say things, don't
want to see my listings and (because I've heard it before), have an issue
with my user ID.

For you, I'm sure if you went from 2 to 10 (for example) in the last few
days it's directly because of your post on cancelling.

The amount of time you dedicated to that thread was enormous and because you
said it was about a single part, I'm guessing people thought "holy crap,
I am not buying from that guy".

And you probably can't undo that.
Your position seemed clear. You only want people that read and obey the terms.
That's your right but you need to own the consequences.

I'm perfectly fine with the least-favorites, I just want to know if any of
them even bought from me.

When I download an app and I see 19 pages of liabilities and disclaimers I click
accept and go on my merry way.
I am not dedicating 30 minutes to find out that if my phone crashes it's
not their fault.

Went from 6 to 18. A post I made last month took me from 1 to 7, but someone
removed a least-favorite. This isn't 20 pages, it's just a few sentences.

I have a number of stores listed as a least favourite for various reasons.

I do not support someone taking that tool away from me because I haven't
placed an order.

Now, I have a number of store that I have done business with that I put on a
least favourite list.
One because they refuse to ship in an envelope and thus I have to ship parcel.

I don't want to order from them again so I'd rather not see their listings.

I've bought from two stores AFTER putting them on a least favourite list.

And I've put stores on that I have never dealt with.
Excessive packing costs, hides (or doesn't try to hide) paypal and bricklink
fees.
People that force me to take insurance regardless of the value of the package
as well as some stores that charge for paypal.

I have 7 people that have least favourited me and while I have no idea who they
are, I don't really need to know.
There are 1000's of buyers out there for me and only 7 non buyers.

At least make a way for sellers to know if it's buyers least-favoriting them,
or if it's just people who don't wanna shop there. As i said above, maybe
even something like a "note on store" would help.

Okay, so I expected this to start happening soon, but I didn't expect it
to happen to me first. Someone left me four star feedback on the MOCShop because
the MOC wasn't designed well (you can view it here: http://moc.bricklink.com/pages/moc/storereviews.page?idmocstore=424058
). So I want to suggest that BrickLink posts some sorta note or something
on the Page to post feedback for orders saying that this feedback is to rate
how the order went, not what the MOC was like (and post a link to the MOC page).
Four star feedback may not be "bad", but it's not what I wanted. Thoughts?

A double feedback mechanism will probably work best as noted above, that is rank
the seller and rank the MOC at the same time. Although what to do if you do not
plan to build the MOC for some time?

If they don't want too, they can just rate the store, and rate the MOC later.

However, rating the seller and the MOC at the same time may lead to sellers stocking
only the better MOCs. If there is a MOC that looks good but performs persistently
bad, and if sellers continually get marked down for it, then they should stop
selling it.

First time I had this out of selling four of these.

In "real life", would you frequent a store that someone else told you sells rubbish.
They do it very efficiently, but most of their products are junk.

Right, but these are just bricks. If they broke apart every five seconds, I wouldn't
sell it, but right now, this doesn't seem bad.

I would suggest a 2 part feedback. 1 to rate the seller and their service, and
another section to rate the MOC and its attributes.

That works aswell. Easier than the way it is now.

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

(has been requested two times before, no follow-up unfortunately)

Voted no. I think a better solution would be to simply have two buttons

"Reply" and "Quote"

The concept might have been invented already after this forum was created, but
I say it is a time for a small upgrade

Also, the "Cancel" button should not be there if you are not the OP

Totally agree with this

After you've checked out (http://www.bricklink.com/orderPlaced.asp) or before?

Doesn't change having to pay separately.

So, you want bricklink to behave like eBay so you don't have to pay everyone
individually?

I wonder what it is recently with people coming here and wanting it to behave
like something else when that something else already exists.

Since you have 0 feedback, maybe just try accepting the way it is at this moment
and see if something is needed rather than trying to change something

I guess these guys are just used to eBay... it'll take them a fee orders
to get setttled here.

A "fee" orders when using "eBay" in the same sentence. Sounds like a Freudian
slip!

I mean't a "few" lol.
