I sell on BrickOwl too and I've never had a single issue. You may be the
market leaders currently but your cockyness will catch up with you soon. I pay
my monthly fees on time every time and this is the mess I have to work with?
Can't it just 'work'? Why is everything difficult and half made?
Not acceptable. I'm tired of apologising to customers because of the issues
on this site. I dread to think how many people have turned away from my store
and not said anything.

I've been on BO for 3 weeks and in that time over 50 stores have opened.
Bricklink has 100 fewer stores than in the summer last year (UK stores). Small
sample size, but a sign of things to come?

  I think you have a great idea. I have noted in a previous forum post that many
customers, especially new customers, may purchase damaged items inadvertently,
because they do not see the description. They just go after the best deal for
the piece. While I now try not to list damaged items at all, I still may list
them with a description on a case by case basis. When someone orders an item
from me with a discrepancy, I try to make sure that I email them to make sure
that they are aware of the discrepancy. Perhaps, things would be a lot simpler
if there was a category for items with discrepancies, or maybe it would complicate
things too much, but its interesting nonetheless. Regardless, I think it should
be a requirement to post your own picture of the item, instead of using the stock
photo, to help eliminate confusion.

As well as this, it will prevent 'filler bricks' from distorting the
price guide downwards for used parts.

  3. non-smoking customers receive the goods and they notice immediately.
what is then ???

If you sell parts and they smell of smoke for whatever reason then it will be
a problem.

Even if you don't smoke near them , it is likely that they will get contaminated
to some degree.


Same with pet hair, although that is a different issue. I have cats, and while
they don't go into my office, I occasionally find hairs in my sorting cups
for example. Some people don't like, or are allergic, and I am aware that
I can't be absolutely certain that the odd hair won't end up in a jiffy
bag.

  While shopping, I would like to see the option to limit my search according to
country.For example, I live in the USA and I don't want to buy outside of
the USA. I would like to be able to search items only in the USA. Thanks.


You can already do this, just hit 'more options', then hit the 'seller
location' buttons.

  Hi,
I do prefer the metric system, hands down, but in the US we have standard measurement
system.
So all our weights and sizes for the mail are in Standard. Changing it make no
sense.

In the rest of the world we also have a standard and universal measurement system,
the metric system.

Sort of, but when was the last time you were out for the night and bought 0.568
litres of beer?


Fortunately metric / imperial isn't the end of the world to convert.

Matt
