| Before deleting an item listed for sale, please give a notice to the seller.
That way the seller can change the listing to comply with the rules (instead
of having to enter everything again).
The e-mail does not give the full listing details, so it is not always clear
what is wrong with the listed item. Also the reason given is not clear.
I just recieved an e-mail stating that a few stickers I listed are deleted.
Reason given: "Item is incorrectly defined as New/Used or Complete/Incomplete/Sealed"
It concerns a few incomplete sticker sheets. I have more incomplete sheets listed
and they are not deleted or mentioned in the e-mail.
Is it wrong to list incomplete sticker sheets as 'new' (with a picture
of the actual sheet and clearly stated in the comments that it is incomplete)?
The stickers still on the sheet are new (never used).
Just to be save I changed the remaining incomplete sticker sheets to 'used'.
And I will re-list the deleted items as 'used'. Hopefully I can still
fing the pictures of the deleted items.

Sticker sheets missing stickers must be listed as Used.

Thank you for clearing that up.
But my suggestion to sending notice to sellers before deleting items still stands.
Deleting items without warning suggests that the seller had fraudulent intend.
Whereas it most likely is a simple mistake.

I take your point and I understand that the current system is a little abrupt.
There was some language on the notification email that I recently removed that
threatened sellers with shutting down their account, etc, but I think we could
also do better at preserving the details of the listing - especially the image
- so it's not such a chore to relist.
However, in many cases we do need the ability to remove things immediately. We
could maybe give admin the option of a 24 hour delay for non-urgent removals,
but that doubles the work, because admin has to return to the problem report
a second time to make sure the listing has been changed correctly.
Another idea I have been tinkering with is to create a Community Expert position
such as "Listing Moderator". These individuals would not remove listings, but
they could contact sellers with problems and show them how to resolve the issues
without a problem report having to be filed. The custom items section, for example,
contains things that have catalog entries but the seller was unable to find the
correct catalog entry themselves.

I have been thinking about another idea. For example, in listing a set, many
sellers list a set without all stickers "complete".
when listing set, seller has to choose
- new/used
- complete, incomplete.
Another case can be added for used set:
- Are all stickers of the main models applied or present on the sticker sheet:
yes/no
If seller selects "no", then the case "complete/incomplete" becomes disabled
and marked by default "incomplete". Seller cannot select complete anymore.
If he selects yes, he does not need to write this in the description.
A list of stickers of the main model can be included, so that the seller can
easily verify this.
This should be straightforward to be programmed.
More options can be added for sets like
- does it come with all instructions booklets? yes/no
- does it come with box and inner box? (with a photo of box and inner boxes)

| I like the idea of the Community Expert position.
However, I believe it is important that incorrect listings be taken down without
delay. Members who submit problem reports about listings want to know that Admin
acts on them quickly. Otherwise we could face a new type of complaint, that "I
told Admin about a bad listing, and it's still there 24 hours later."
In most cases, the listing rules are clear and sellers need to be responsible
to follow them. I would not want to see Admin's time taken up chasing down
sellers to fix listing mistakes.

Russell said “Listing Moderator.” The “Moderator” part would make me believe
this role would give the ability to delete (or at least block) the offending
listings without waiting for a full/corporate admin. Like Discussion Moderators
do on the forum.

Perhaps "Listing Advisor" would be more appropriate then. We have to be careful
to keep any commercial-related activity within the office staff. However, the
"advisor" would of course be able to report listings in cases where the seller
refused to accept the advice.
An idea I had for a tool would be the ability to easily flag a listing, but also
enter a suggested entry and/or listing condition to solve the problem. Then,
if the seller accepts the suggestion, the item would be moved/changed automatically
- no harm, no foul, and no need to report a TOS violation. This is one way the
community could assist the administration and the selling/buying community.

I have wanted there to be this job (not volunteering) for a while. Someone with
the authority to make sellers follow the rules. Tell them that they have to
determine their undetermined parts and help them figure it out. Find the sealed
sets that say "no box" in the comments or the new minifigs that say "been
on shelf for years and some parts changed out". Let sellers know that they've
listed a part as "not applicable" color or in a probably misidentified non-existent
color. I've now and then contacted other sellers about things like these
and often they have fixed them, but many times they have asked to see my badge.
But I think the solution to the immediacy issue is what I said in another post.
Make them able to move the item to the stockroom so that it is immediately off
the table, but not deleted. If an email goes at the same time, the seller will
know not to just open it back up.

Why can't partial sheets be sold as new, but indicating incomplete? After
all, it happens a lot with minifigures, even though parts are missing and there
is no formal incomplete setting.

you remove a sticker from the sheet, you have used it. The Sheet itself is no

Might be, but the listing policy page was only updated today to reflect that.
Previously of course you could list and state in the comments, exactly as this
seller did and it was not against official published listing policy.

That is not the way to make a policy. It is of course understood that a sticker
sheet missing stickers is not complete and hence not new, but there was nothing
in the previously published rules prohibiting a seller from listing as new.

| Agree.
1st point. My 10179 sticker is new the main plaque is new and unused. Some of
the tiny stickers that nobody really even uses are gone. It would be better to
have the option of new/incomplete.
2. Main thread is relevant.
When deleting please give warning it will be delete or move to stockroom.
Important information I use for tax purposes was lost.
I keep accounting and pay taxes on my sales. My inventory value is also important
in these calculations the item cost data was lost when it was deleted. And this
information was not included in the deletion email.

Especially now things like the Beauty and the Beast furniture are minifigures,
a seller cannot sell the (new) minifigures with the correct part of the sticker
sheet and also list the remainder of the sheet as new but incomplete. Decisions
like this make it tough for sellers to decide how to split sets with stickered
figures.

Sellers have to make a call on things like this sometimes. But this doesn't
seem that tough to me. If the minifig is worth quite a bit more than the pieces
it is made of, the margin is probably greater than the value of the sticker sheet.
In that case I might just include the whole sticker sheet with the minifig.
Or you can list it as used and say what is missing. But really, the best way
might often be to use the sticker sheet to make all the other counterparts.
What I am mostly likely to do is just give the rest of the stickersheet to my
daughter. They aren't usually worth more than $1 in a modern set.

I just recieved an e-mail stating that a few stickers I listed are deleted.

It concerns a few incomplete sticker sheets. I have more incomplete sheets listed

Is it wrong to list incomplete sticker sheets as 'new' (with a picture
of the actual sheet and clearly stated in the comments that it is incomplete)?
The stickers still on the sheet are new (never used).
Just to be save I changed the remaining incomplete sticker sheets to 'used'.
And I will re-list the deleted items as 'used'. Hopefully I can still

Sticker sheets missing stickers must be listed as Used.
|
Why can't partial sheets be sold as new, but indicating incomplete? After
all, it happens a lot with minifigures, even though parts are missing and there
is no formal incomplete setting.

totally agree!!. I just got a sticker sheet removed that is a rare large one
from idea book 250....meaning long ago. It was missing one small sticker. The
rest was mint. This to me is New/Incomplete which is how I listed it. It for
sure is not used. Used brings up images of wrinkled, cut, stickers taken off
and put back on the sheet. Stickers missing one sticker or more is not used.
It is incomplete. Lately stickers coming out of new boxes are wrinkled or have
a sticker stuck to the instruction book. These were still considered new but
incomplete.
This was a bad decision.

Just because a sticker sheet is "otherwise mint" doesn't mean it should be
listed as New. If it's missing a sticker, it has been used. "Used just a
tiny bit" = Used. It should not be factored into the price guide as a New sale
if it is missing a sticker.
There was no decision, btw. This has always been the rule, but we're finally
getting responsive enough with the admin team to start enforcing it.

so why not simply change the listing to used instead of deleting and leaving
a notice ? ...

It shouldn't happen with minifigures either. If a fig is incomplete, it should
be listed as parts or listed in the custom items section. Otherwise you are watering
down the price guide.

It does happen and if reported partial figures (such as head and torso only)
are not always removed.
If it shouldn't happen then there needs to be an enforced rule plus a reason
not to do it repeatedly.

Thank you Russell for staying that. It is frustrating when the "buy all" tool
selects minifigures which are missing part of their body. I've had to dislike
those shops so the tool will work properly.

I do agree that some notice would be good, or another idea would be to put the
listing in the stockroom instead of the trashcan, so when the email arrives they
can see the listing and fix it.

| That's a yes from me.
I had a listing deleted once because I copy/pasted the wrong description for
like a 20 cent part or something, still annoying to have to redo it from scratch.
I actually feel bad reporting listings because of this, I usually only report
mislabeled sets.
I sold a sticker sheet once as new stating some stickers were missing (I had
seen people selling used stickers before, as in peeled off and placed on wax
paper) because I didn't understand the rules, I thought peeled off stickers
mean "used".
The buyer of course didn't read the description and wasn't happy but
understood that they didn't read.
I list them all as used now if anythings missing. I guess that's the intended
way.
