I don't know where you get your information, but Hasbro has absolutely nothing
to do with LEGO.

It might be better to allow buyers to leave feedback without restriction but
instead Bricklink could implement a prompt message along the lines of:-
"You are about to leave Negative/Neutral feedback however have you tried
communicating with the seller as many sellers will try to resolve issues if given
fair opportunity to do so?"
or wording to that effect
|
Now that would be a great option!

| | Hi everyone,
Here is an idea as I received all of my neutral feedbacks because the buyer never
contacted me prior to leaving feedback for a small mistake I made in an order
and never gave me the chance to make it right.
Not sure how that would be done, but here is my idea : before a buyer can leave
a neutral or negative feedback, there must be a mandatory step of contacting
the buyer to discuss the issue first. I'm sure lots of sellers are in the
same position as me and lots of buyers think the feedback system is just as an
amazon or facebook system. You buy, you're happy / not happy and you leave
feedback. Especially for the new buyers.
What do you think ?
Thanks for reading.

Then at what point can the buyer leave neutral or negative feedback?
Scenario 1: Buyer can leave feedback after sending the seller a message.
Buyer wasn't all that happy with the order, so he (or she) hits a few random
keys, decides that's enough for the "message" and hits Send. Now
he can leave whatever feedback he wants, and the seller still doesn't have
a chance to correct his mistake.
Scenario 2: Buyer can leave feedback after sending seller a message AND receiving
a response from the seller.
Seller receives a message from an unhappy buyer and simply (and malisciously)
doesn't respond. Buyer is unable to leave feedback.
I can't think of any other scenarios, and both the situations I just described
are clearly not working.
If these neutrals you receive bother you so much, then perhaps you need to rethink
how you pick your orders and try to find a way to avoid these mistakes you mentioned.

"I'm planning on leaving you negative feedback. What are you going to
offer me to avoid that?"
That's basically the message you're proposing, and it sounds an awful
lot like feedback extortion.

You can cancel your previous sales post and create a new one, but in your store
terms you still have your 13% fee which you apply on top of the overall purchase.
A 10ct piece in your store still costs 13ct. You're simply being deceptive!
|
That math is off. 10 + 13% = 11.3
|
Yes, you're correct. You got me there. But you didn't address the underlying
issue.
The fact remains that your 13% fee is deceptive. It's a very sneaky way of
luring in buyers with low prices, but you're still getting full price for
your pieces. You are offering your bricks for 11.5% less than what the buyer
eventually has to pay for them.
And as someone else has mentioned, since Bricklink only charges a fee on the
sales price and not on the additional fees, your 13% (that every buyer has to
pay) is a way of avoiding paying Bricklink what they're owed.
If you were to raise your prices by 13% and ditch the fee, then people will see
it as a legitimate business. But now you're running a despicable practice.
Shame on you!

Your 13% is simply a way to make your parts appear cheaper. Why don't you
just raise your prices to level the playing field?
I, and I think a lot of others, strongly disapprove of such practices.

Highly unlikely.
Rivendell for $800

Is anyone else seeing this?

I just looked on lego.com and see 499.99 for Rivendell. But if I go to the Australian
site I see 799.99 for Rivendell
Checking some other prices I think you're on the Australian site - look for
"en-au" in the URL

Yes, it does have en-au in the url. But how and why???

A price can be high or low. Something that you buy can be cheap or expensive.
But a cheap price insinuates that the "price" is for sale. How can someone

It would be good if BL allowed sellers to cancel orders where the buyer is suspicious
with no feedback possible on either side if it is done quickly (say within 24

And who would determine whether an order is suspicious or not? What are the boundaries?

1) No more than one reply per person
2) Write me in reply 4 numbers which you think it might be
3) People whose numbers are the closest one to the random generated numbers will
receive a coupon
Good luck everyone!
