MANY, and I mean MANY people have bought from me thinking I OWN BRICKLINK.

They do not have the concept that there are hundreds if not thousands of sellers
on here.

Proven from the constant questions about purchasing from my other stores on this
site.

Hmmm... "... my other stores on this site." This is the second time you have
mentioned having other stores on this site. If so, that means you have duplicate
accounts in violation of the ToS. Would you care to elaborate on those other
stores and accounts and explain why you feel owning multiple stores and accounts
does not violate the ToS.

I believe he meant "other stores", because of the questions about other stores.

I don't think so. He wrote "MY other stores on this site", and this is the SECOND
time he mentioned having other BL stores. In fact, Dan and Jon have mentioned
several times that they have purchased a number of other BrickLink stores and
that this was one reason they were having so much trouble recently with their
inventory and multiple identical listings. Let's also not forget that Jon's mentor
or partner, Dan, has had multiple accounts in the past and has long desired another
"personal" account. This to me is at least as suspicious as a zero feedback seller
with cheap sets. But perhaps Jon can explain this rather than us guessing about
it.

Re: Credit Card required to sell on BrickLink

BrickLink should setup a system where a seller would need to have a credit card
to sell on BL, and BL charges the seller a small amount (say $5) to setup the
store, and activate it, and verify the seller's information that is on BL against
the credit card.

The $5 would offset any costs associated with checking names/addresses. Once
BL has a card # and a charge on it, they can verify the name and address to the
card, and they know that they are dealing with a real person, at a real address.
Or, maybe make this an option, and have a store icon that shows that the seller
is verified.

Or, perhaps make this a requirement only if the seller wishes to sell high value
products, or lots of items valued at a high value.

I would gladly do this for my store, to show that I'm legit and serious about
selling.

Resistance is futile.

If a buyer hits the -2 mark I would suggest doing a review on that person.

Especially if that person is a seller!

I cannot imagine anyone having issue with this.

Maybe a -2 selling privilages cut pending review would work?

I read in the forum all kinds of troubles with your store your listing practices
weren't you the warehouse before i even bought from you
I am just saying were you limited when you started out
bricklink is growing and it all new accounts start out at 0 don't they
why not just look at what troy said about nannie states
clean up your stores issues and just let people do what they do
you cannot control what others do if it is too good to be true than guess what
it is

Re: Feedback Survey Option for Each Seller

Instead of drastically changing BrickLink's feedback system so late in the game,
how about giving sellers the option of asking their buyers to take a brief survey
assessing their transaction and then posting the results of that survey in their
feedback profile via a link to another page containing only those survey results?

This would be OPTIONAL for sellers to include with their feedback profile and
OPTIONAL for buyers to complete. However, once opted in, a seller cannot opt
out if he does not like the results of the survey.

I'd settle if my buyers actually updated the status of the orders after I ship
them out. I have 8 Orders sitting with No status other then, "Since they didn't
complain I guess they got it Status" that is the invisible one you can select.

This is only within the last 3 months and I have a tiny Store. I couldn't imagine
have a big one and dealing with this.

I'd rather have a system that will not let you Order from another store until
you "BUS" your Status of ALL previous orders. Doesn't mean you have to force
FB but would be nice. At the very Least require the Buyer and or Seller to commit
to updating the status of orders.

I have been buying on bricklink for I think a few years now and I
no nothing about the status updates i just give feedback when I get the orders
in the mail
HOW ABOUT A TUTORIAL on the proper way to update the order
just a suggestion before you consider the whole change the system stuff
