I would love to switch to another platform, however, at this point Paypal is
a must, to effectively buy or sell on BL.

Stripe - and I think that's it and that's all.
No problem with Stripe for years here.
Neither PayPal.

Thank you. I'll have to look into setting up a stripe account. I didn't
even know this was an option!

Yep. Those struggling to survive already will be the most impacted.

I used to sell on BL to support my hobby, now I really don't think it will
be worth my time.

All,

In the event you haven't seen it, the IRS is requiring payment platforms
to issue 1099-K's to individuals who gross $600 or more per year, starting
this year... The previous threshold was $20,000 with at least 200 transactions.

Just curious to know if anyone has figured out how/when Lego introduces new pieces
to its bricks and pieces catalog. Brickset just uploaded the newly released pieces,
but all are sold out on B&P.

If I'm remembering correctly, Lego used to list unavailable pieces as $0.00
and pieces that were actually sold out would have an actual price but be marked
as sold out... All new pieces have a price, and are marked as sold out.

Are there bots that snag these new parts as soon as they are listed? It's
always super frustrating trying to buy new parts off of B&P.

First off let me just say I prefer the new version of the wanted list over the
classic view. One thing I have noticed however is the "Auto-Finder" feature does
not always work as it should.

Last week I was ordering from a list and selected the "By Fewest Stores" option,
and it gave me 5 stores for a total of around $95. I deselected all stores and
seconds later selected the "By Best Value" option. This gave me 4 stores for
a total of $85... I realize stores have changing stock all the time, however
I really don't think that a few second things would have changed the auto
finder results that much.

  How about some safe buying advice on the loging page warning buyers of common
scams? I.E, brand new store with a massive inventory, lots of orders with no
feedback, prices too good to be true on rare, valuable and sought after items.

Agreed! Or on the checkout page. Make a physical checklist that buyers have to
select for new stores with zero to minimal feedback. Rare sets for cheap price?
Too good to be true?... etc This way at least the warnings have been given to
new buyers for sure before they have placed the order.

  @Bricklink:

Change the address fields so the BL-subscriber can/must fill in his/her address
in the right format AND in the right order.
(the BL-subscriber is the onliest person in the world who knows his/her address
the best.)

regards,

Nico

as a seller i have too make too much changes in buyers addresses
(a waste of time)
if an address is wrong/not in the right format there are more chances for delivery
mistakes

One of the many reasons I love Paypal... Verified addresses!!!
