  Hi

Probably a lot of us have been guilty of this, adding an item to your inventory
and forgetting the decimal point, or putting it in the wrong place, thereby creating
an abnormal price.

Is it possible when entering a price for new or used, to flag if the price entered
is say more than xx% of the average prices already on file. Still giving you
the option to enter that price, but just warning that this price is abnormal

Thanks
Tracy

Discussed and proposed many times before, but still no sign of implementing something
like this.... Focus was on other points I guess. Something with Stud.IO and a
designer competetion sort of thing....

Sales are nice thing, right? Scoring a bulk load of 1x1 plates you so desperately
need for a long overdue project helps you move on!
When 70% of the sales announcements concern shops that do NOT ship to you, the
nice efforts turn into an ever growing deception....

So here's my suggestion: have a SALE announcement link to the shipping terms
of the store so there will be ONLY announcement visible that actually DO ship
to your country.

Ever working on a more pleasant environment.

  I know of an ex-car dealer who was bored with his job and quit but continued
to buy and sell used cars as an individual for a couple of years (then he was
re-hired as a “seller extraordinary” because he was that good). He knew the
rules pretty well and limited himself to less than (I think it’s) ten cars a
year. Buy a used car, keep it a few weeks, sell the car. He managed to make
a hefty profit. All legal, and not as a pro.


Is that a business? Or someone who loves to have another car every few weeks
and makes money along the way?
Has he become a business by doing so?

The main issue here is how to differentiate between the seller, selling of his
or hers overstock with the intention to get rid of it and the seller purchasing
and reselling parts/sets etc with the intention to generate profit with it

Please generate a help ticket for this well-described issue too!
Maybe that works faster

Might even be real China-made parts. The plastic from that factory does have
similar differences from the other factories worldwide.
So, is it real, really counterfeit or just a misenterpretation of the fact Lego
had quality issues in China ....?

You mean before we had a RED line telling what item was wrong so you can easily
correct it?
Now we don't....
I like the suggestion

In your own store inventory, you can search for parts of a specific set. See
attached picture.
In the buying area of a store, this is not possible.
The functionality is there, please add it to the buying area.

Spot on.

On uploading used parts, I always check for my self: "Would I be happy to receive
this?" Whenever the anser is NO, the part goes into the bin, unless it's
a rare piece. In that case, I try to describe as detailed as possible the condition
of the part.

Maintaining high standards for oneself prevents in most cases selling crappy
parts.

  A: Because I always obey all the laws *to the letter*, of course

Also because I can not stand people who are immune to reasoning.

Ouch, if that is serious, you're in a living hell ...

Might this be an option:

- calculate 10% fee
- receive payment
- refund any overcalculated fee after payment was received

Or will this alse affect the percentage and therefor costs made?

Man, thinking about this might even get me PP-fee-less in the near future. But
at higher item prices? Is that what most PP-fee-less sellers do? Help me out
with some GOOD advice people....

  Personal rates are only for 'personal transfers', transfer for goods
are 'commercial', regardless wether you have a personal, premier or business
account

Mmmm, that makes it even harder.
Just checked my last 8 payments on PP (USD and EUR, 5 different countries). Overall
fee is 5.6%. Ranging from a 3.6% to 8.1%.
How can you get a cost table implemented like that that can be explained and
maintained as well?

Ah, these are the commercial rates.
I was looking at the personal rates.
As I am a hobbiest seller and not registered as a commercial user of PP, I think
the personal rates apply. Correct? Or does PP not distinguish between them?
