I'm pretty sure it is, actually. If the purchase qualifies for buyer protection,
the buyer is protected (regardless of whether Paypal can successfully recover
the funds or not). They changed their terms while back.

sellers have their funds held at PP for a number of days until buyers confirm
receipt. And maybe it needs to be receipt by buyers who have a minimum of X
feedback or Y years of membership, so it's not sham buyers validating delivery.
Question is whether the burden dissuades more legit new sellers than it thwarts
shams. Considering the surplus of sellers here, I'd think it worth a try.

Having an escrow-type way to hold funds was part of the plan that was rolled
out at the summit in Chicago a year and a half ago. When BL discussed it on the
forum, a lot of people on the forum complained very loudly that it was a terrible
idea, and we haven't heard a lot about it since then. It's too bad, because
I thought (and still think) that it's a fantastic idea. (A side benefit of
it is that BL could LOWER our Paypal fees, as well.)

BrickLink could never hold Paypal funds in escrow. IANAL, but I don't see
how that is legal, for one thing. It would also be a huge burden on BrickLink
to track all that money and not have it disappear due to simple (keypunch) error,
hacking, theft, mismanagement, or imcompetence.
For another thing, it won't work for logistical reasons -- Sellers need
access to the Paypal payment in order to ship the order -- the verified address,
etc, for both the buyer protection and seller protection to work.
Also, you cannot expect sellers to front all the postage costs with the funds
in escrow. If a parcel costs 20 bucks to ship, you can't expect the vendor
to handle that cost while there is money for the transaction that the seller
cannot access.
It's bad enough sellers already subsidize shipping on each and every Paypal-paid
order, but expecting them to ship without the cash up front simply won't
work.

| Reference thread: http://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=995948
SUGGESTION: Display items in stores in the exact order they were added, per
Lot ID Number when viewing by DATE ADDED.
Items listed for sale in shops are now appearing in mixed up random order when
viewed by NEWEST ITEMS.
I dislike this. When I list items, often I list them in a specific order on
purpose. And I wish for them to remain in that order. For example, if I list
all 2 x 4 bricks together, I want them to show up in that order.
The biggest reason why listed items should stay in order is to check for errors.
If a seller uploads a bunch of stuff but they appear in their shop all mixed
up, it makes it difficult to compare (to the original listing file) and trace
possible errors.
Until the site update, listed items always appeared in the order in which they
were listed, as the lot ID numbers were kept in order. I see no reason for the
now random ordering. Please correct this.
Also, I really miss the _horizontal divider line_ between each day's batch
of items. We always had that before and I see no reason to have removed that.
Please put back the horizontal divider line when viewing by NEWEST ITEMS.
Thanks.

| | Hi,
2 Requests..
1. I would like to see if I have a part in inventory when I look at a set and
it's parts. This connects to the 2nd request bellow.
2. It would also be useful to see if I have a part in inventory without having
to search my inventory for it.
I am constantly adding parts to my inventory. I first have to locate the part
by searching by type, color, etc. once I find it I then have to do a 2nd search
of the part number an cut/paste in search and change the dropdown to [my inventory].
Would be nice to have a GREEN Heart indicating that you have it in inventory
and links to that part in you inventory. This could go next to the RED heart
for wanted list.
|
As others have indicated, the features you are suggesting already exist.
For me, I would be happy as a clam if, when using the top search box, if it would
STAY on MY INVENTORY instead of constantly reverting to the stoopid annoying
ALL ITEMS search. I wish like hell I could turn OFF the ALL ITEMS search PERMANENTLY.
