If a buyer hits the -2 mark I would suggest doing a review on that person.

Especially if that person is a seller!

I cannot imagine anyone having issue with this.

Maybe a -2 selling privilages cut pending review would work?

Specifically, what kind of criteria would this review look at?

I read in the forum all kinds of troubles with your store your listing practices
weren't you the warehouse before i even bought from you
I am just saying were you limited when you started out
bricklink is growing and it all new accounts start out at 0 don't they
why not just look at what troy said about nannie states
clean up your stores issues and just let people do what they do
you cannot control what others do if it is too good to be true than guess what
it is

yes, and we should have been on review and probation if we were having those
issues!

and I was not part of the warehouse when it started, I was the person who came
in to fix the mess that was created when someone who did not know how to run
a store was in charge.

I do not have any store issues at the moment.

I was making a suggestion based upon another posters issue.

Thanks!

I agree. Temporarily close the store until a BL admin can look into whether
the store is a scam or not. If a seller starts off with 0 and quickly grows
to -2, they should be suspended pending a review of their activity.

Neither could I until I read the responses that have an issue.

Some do not like the concept of protecting buyers from their own risk taking.

But really, the system already does this.
It does suspend sellers and buyers for various reasons, correct?

So really we are discussing where the line is to be drawn, not the existence
of the line.

We already have a control at -3, why have another at -2 unless you suggest the
-3 rule changes to -2. What are you going to require of this "-2bie" to get his
rights back?

If there is a new seller with a -2 and you then buy from him I think you should
expect the worst!

Also, consider that a store with 20 FB (comprised of 30+, 10-) is more of an
ongoing problem, potentially, than a newbie who has made a couple of mistakes.

why don't people just read FB before ordering?

what's going on today? why is everyone out to make it look like BL is broken?

I couldn't agree more Robert. It seems like every time someone has a bad experience
they think that somehow the BrickLink system is to blame. The vast majority
of transactions go off without a hitch. Buying will always have associated risks.
Read the feedback, both received and given. Trust your gut instincts. If it's
too good to be true, it probably is. If, after weighing the evidence you buy
(or sell for that matter) and it doesn't work out, take appropriate action and
move on. Learn from your mistakes. BrickLinks self-policing works quite nicely
- besides, the Admins have enough things to worry about as it is.

I work at a software company and many times we deny requests because the point
of the system is to make your job easier- not to protect you from your own stupidity.


Scams are everywhere on the Internet, but using a little common sense goes a
long way. Most of these scammers are painfully obvious. Don't feed the trolls,
and they will soon disappear and go back to scamming people elsewhere.

Feedback is here for a reason- if you find something you want from a low feedback
buyer, then only buy what risk you are willing to incurr.

Who in their right mind would actually buy from a -2 Seller?!!!

I was thinking about something like this:

At like -2 or -3, put him on probation. Suspend the shop for a week or so, then
monitor the seller's next few selling transactions. Make sure he can't just
buy stuff to bring up his feedback, he'll have to be more genuine/serious in
his sales.
