  Please remove the ability to set prices with 3 digits after the decimal point
for items priced over 10 cents.

3 digit pricing was implemented to allow for price differentiation of ultra-cheap
parts, some of which actually sell for half of a cent.

Above the 10 cent point 3 digit pricing becomes less meaningful, devolving in
to sellers splitting hairs to move their listings up in the sort order. There
is no effective difference between $29.989 and $29.99 and they really should
sort together.

Mixed feelings on this.

  These are tools to help the buyer keep track of what he likes and doesnt like,
not for sellers to use to further sales... If a buyer wants to share this info
w you he will.

What you're basically saying w this suggestion is that a buyer must be required
to tell you a reason he doesnt like your store, in order to not like your store?
That is a bit... well... it's prying to say the least.

  There have been several previous discussions on Favorite - Least Favorite status
in the past. One of the points raised was regarding the current inability to
receive some sort of comment from someone who has Favorited or Least Favorited
your store. As a Seller, I must always be looking for ways to improve, so how
can I do that when I don't know why someone has placed me as a Least Favorite.

I know the commenting was disabled due to abuse of the system, so what I would
like to propose is a predefined set of choices and checkboxes so a Buyer can
simply check the box on High Shipping Cost, Slow Shipment or any number of problems
encountered. This would be done anonymously, unless a checkbox for Contact Buyer
was checked, which would reveal your UserID to the Seller. The difficult part
would be to put together a short list of reasons to make checkboxes for. The
most common seem to be:

Store Terms: Confusing, Fees, Other
Customer Service: Communication, Resolution
Shipping: High, Slow, Packaging
Quality: Condition, Correct, Packaging
Other: Other

These are all things that would point the Seller in the right direction to effect
changes. Store Terms, are they confusing, do they outline excessive fees, or
is there something else about them that needs to be examined. Customer Service,
is the Seller communicationg with their customer, do they satisfactorily resolve
issues. Shipping, is the cost too high, are they slow to get orders out and is
the packaging sufficient to protect orders. Quality, are the items in the stated
condition, is the order correct and was there sufficient packaging or were items
all thrown into one bag. Other would be just that, anything other than those
reasons. It may not tell you much by itself, but at least all the other items
not selected can probably be ruled out.

I'm sure there are others, so feel free to discuss

Like feedback, it would not be required, but when you go to add someone to your
least favorite, having those checkbox choices available would certainly help
a store to improve. I would not say it should be mandatory, but anything is better
than the option we currently have, which is none. Even one piece of data is still
data.

  Hi Guys.

Today I suggest a Save Shopping Cart feature because if you are shopping about
and want to buy something but cant afford it now, you would want to keep that
shopping cart for later. Give some comments and vote please

If you do not close your browser, it will keep your items in the cart for a few
days I believe. If you need longer than that, the items may be sold by then.
Best to create a wanted list for those items. You can then name the wanted list
the store name.

  The (S) superlot symbol is great visual reference in the Price Guide. You instantly
know that you'll have to buy other parts to get that one. I would like to also
see a (T) tiered pricing visual reference as well. This way I would know at
a glance that if I bought several, I could possibly get said item cheaper in
bulk. Tiered prices would not need to be shown in the price guide.

Sure beats checking every store.

I would like the ability to set up secondary wanted list notifications. Currently,
when you set up a wanted list notification, the default option is to have it
sent to your primary email address. As I am on the go a lot, I would welcome
the opportunity to receive them via text message to my cell phone, a secondary
email address (which I could then have auto-forwarded to my cell phone) or other
device capable of receiving notifications via the internet.

  Dear Admin,
please make it possible for the seller to change the selected currency again
as it was before.
I use the currency to separate between EU and non-EU. It is a headache when the
buyer selects the wrong currency and I have to cancel the order.
kind regards,
stefan

Could you please explain how you use the different currencies to separate EU
and Non-EU orders and why? It might help your suggestion out.

  I am wondering whether a button giving you a choice of listing a differnt item
in the same colour as the item you listed before. Give your thoughts.

Thought that option already existed. At the bottom, when you have listed your
item, there are four or so options, one of them is exactly that.

The 7 days waiting for finalizing the NPB(canceling the order) is again a penalty
for sellers.
The worst part here is the buyer responds to NPB filling but without any intention

Voted NO.

I guess you also would like to get a payment reminder when you're 3 days due
to pay your electricity bill and have your electricity cut off another 3 days
later?

Sorry, by all means, to wait less than 7 days before sending an official reminder
(NPB) is simply unprofessional.

In addition to all completed NPBs we had at least 10 on which the buyer paid
after getting NPB'd, and only one so far who played the "I will pay" game and
never paid.

Btw. although we pack and seal at least 99,9% of the orders after invoicing,
we only had to unpack less than 5 (small orders) so far. Most of our NPBs where
never picked/packed...

Oh, and please realize that many buyers paying by PayPal don't pay by credit
card but have to transfer money from their bank account to PayPal first. It's
not always possible to get the money to PayPal within 3 days. Also e-checks take
much longer to clear.

Btw. do you mean 3 days after ordering or after invoicing? The latter would require
a completely new feature for BrickLink which actually counts the days after ordering.
Ronald

I think he means the amount of time you have to wait to compete the NPB process
is to long since it can take up to 14 days once you file the NPB if they play
the "I will pay" game as you put it.

I to think that process is a bit long and should only take 8 days total even
when the buyer plays the "I will pay" game to complete an NPB.

Losing sales due to having your inventory tied up for 3 weeks is a bit much in
my option. I've had an order or two where I'm 70% sure it might have been another
seller tying up my inventory because it was cheaper then theirs. But their is
no way to say for sure it was or know who it might have been in order to report
it.

You could always track IP Addresses. Unless they have a hookup like mine, they
will show from the same base address or range of addresses from the same provider.

In bigger cities this would be almost impossible.

Well, if they logged in with the SAME IP, that would be dead fishy, granted.
But, same provider, same town? Still just a little bit fishy.

If you suspect foul play, you should get in touch with Help Desk and relay your
suspicions.

Sorry, voted NO.
In Europe people offently use Iban/Bic (banktransfer), that kind of money transaction
usually takes 2,3 or 4 days, sometimes even 5 or 6 if there is a weekend in between.
If the time is reduced to 3 days, it will simply not be possible for a buyer
to send the payment within that timeframe.
If a buyer responds within the seven days, he also should still have the possibility
to make the transfer.
So far, on all the NPB's I ran through, none responded, so all got completed
after the 1 week. I do wonder what would be the % of NPB buyers who do respond
to the NPB filing.
Maybe Admin could gives a % on that?

Eric

Plus not many sellers file a NPB when there is good communication.

you send only 7 NPB that is not so bad ?
regards r

Just checked my feedbacks left and I've had 4 NPBs and two brand new users who
wanted to cancel orders and were firmly, yet politely, schooled on the BrickLink
buying process instead of receiving an NPB.

I made suggestion about ignore thread tree ages ago, hope it gets implemented
someday.

Wonder if they'll do a movie about this, The Shunning...

I like fishing, does anyone else like fishing?

*Raises Hand*

sorry forgot to chang the subject line...

Speaking of fishing, did anyone catch that tv series on hand fishing in the Ozarks?
Them guys are nuts! LOL

Okie Noodling? where they catch big ole catfish with their bare hands? Awesome.

Fish as big as the dudes catching them! Huge! Using just their hands and a piece
of rope.

It's crazy, but hey, so is meth and some people do that too.

no amount of cheap beer would get me under water sticking my arm into some dark
crevice with a huge fish clomped on my arm...

Sounds kinda sexy when you say it like that. LOL

I loved fishing as a kid, but would never eat the fish I caught (I always caught
the biggest ones, and my folks REALLY loved that!).

A friend of mine used to be a fish and game warden up in Bemidji, Minnesota.
He knew all the right places to go fishing.

I have actually spent time in Bemidji, very nice town.
John P

We used to go up to Dorset and hit up the string of small but quaint restaurants
there. Done quite a bit of fishing on 11th Crow Wing and Potato Lake.

There are a lot of interesting names of cities in ND and MN. I remember Thief
River Falls, Devils Lake, there is the Bad Lands, and of course the cities of
Moorehead and Climax MN.
John P

Never seen Lickinghole Creek in Virginia...

I voted no, those are the ones I want to read.
John P

That's why not "Ignored" but in red, so you know which ones you want to read,
or not...

Yeah, I've already got two people ignoring me, so anything I type makes no difference
to them as it stands now. But if it gave them the option to read or not read,
depending on the subject, that might be helpful. Don't we have enough watchlists
as it is nowadays?

Yeah, I have a few of those too. One from simply stating that I wasn't a heckler.
Evidently it was easier to stoplist a bunch of people. C'est la vie.

Irony is ok, sarcasm is borderline to banishment. Ask John P.

It wasn't sarcasm that got me banned for a week, but it was being snide. I do
not think the powers that be can handle either very well.
John P

So what is the definition of sarcastic and what is the definition of snide? Surely
tehre must be a ruler in place to measure such things...
