I seem to have on-going issues the past few weeks with order status and wanted
list "have" quantities becoming bogus. Several orders have jumped status without
my input (and I'm assuming without the seller's input) - I'm not
referring to a couple of cancelled orders where I knew about what was happening.
Moreover, whenever I go to update a status on my end (e.g. shipped - received)
I hit submit, and the page refreshes with the same original status - even immediately
after a page refresh. So I end up having to change the status of every order
twice and submit.
I've had similar issues with at least one of my wanted lists: my 900+ lot
cathedral model for which I'm accumulating parts and often I'm finding
that the values updated after one order has been applied have reverted to prior
to that (sometimes prior to multiple applied orders).
I've taken to writing a spreadsheet to use as a backup by exporting the XML
from bricklink and importing it into the spreadsheet. I've had a case already
since completing that a few days ago where again at least one value has jumped.
I'd love to be able to upload a delta from my spreadsheet, but when uploading
an XML it seems I can only add to what's there - so the only way to do a
"restore" like that is to delete the wanted list contents and upload from scratch.
This all seems very odd, and I'm not encountering others who have these issues...
but wondering if it's because being from Oz the daily server maintenance
occurs here mid-afternoon, right when I'm usually at my busiest (I usually
have my very many medical stuff in the mornings). I avoid doing stuff on bricklink
either side of that maintenance period but it seems that somehow something may
not be replicating across properly or something???
If anyone's got any ideas on better ways of managing this (no, moving to
another country is not a valid option ) I'd love to hear them.
