I have an order from a buyer made 3 days ago. At that moment a 0 feedback buyer.
No payment at this moment but when checking the buyers feedback it got from -1
up to -8.
All mentioning NPB but still not buyers privilege revoked.

It could be it will be initiated tomorrow but it could also mean sellers aren’t
using the NPB system correctly.
If so it would be a pity since using the system the right way may get bad buyers
out of our system and make it easier for sellers that got their order later.
Now I, and maybe other sellers have to wait for 4 days to start an NPB, wait
another week to complete it while a revoked buyer would mean I could cancel immediately.

possibly the NPB's havnt been complete yet and those are just advanced feedback
since if you have the option enabled that prevents people with a negative feedback
score from buying it would help in that case

Might be the case but it risky because at the moment the buyer pays the status
switches from MPB to paid and then the buyer could give a reliatory feedback

true that would be a risk indeed

I thought about that too but, in my opinion, that would mean a misuse of the
system by a seller.
Although defendable an NPB is to give a buyer a chance to make it right, giving
negative feedback while NPB’s aren’t completed takes away that chance. In this
case no problem I guess since it is already -8…

It's partly your fault, sorry to say.

Implement auto checkout and instant payment, and you'll have maybe 1 NPB
per year or such - and solved with zero problem.

I *know* it can be a huge task, but frankly, it's worth it.

If you would really look into this case you would possibly notice this buyer

Well, this is at least my idea looking at a minus 8.

That's the idea, with auto checkout, he pays or he doesn't place the
order: no NPB.
In short, of course.

Well, this is at least my idea looking at a minus 8.


And IC would have stopped them from messing you around. Putting a barrier (here,
payment) in front of someone here that wants to cause chaos means they ignore
you and go on and do it to someone else. Of course, IC can fail where there is
no postage option, or if the buyer can find parts in your store with missing
data, but finding those is also a barrier to their behaviour.

Me and at least 22 others are at fault but I understand your message.

I know I am a bit stubborn but I think I would prefer a buyer like this to receive
some NPB’s than the possibility of having them as a paying customer that receives
the Lego, report it as not received and gets the payment refunded.
So, maybe, not having IC isn’t that bad in this matter.
I also think as a seller that ships in the Netherlands only it isn’t necessary
but I could be wrong.

That can happen for manual invoicing too. It is only if you can convince them
to pay with a method that they cannot reverse if they don't receive the goods
that the seller is "safe".

Well yes quite right because regardless of whether the buyer is a time waster
or simply a bit indecisive its better to find out before you've shipped the
goods compared with having them change their mind or intentionally mess you around
after goods have been paid, picked and shipped

However NPB's in general aren't a big issue for me because if a customer
wants to cancel their order I think they should be well within their right to
do so as most consumers within any line of trade are given that fair equal right
and so I don't know why Bricklink should give sellers a platform where they
can punish their customers just for changing their mind when in some cases fees
and terms within a sellers store may not even be very clear or fair?
The only time I would take issue with a NPB is if after not paying for an order
they then don't communicate or respond either?

Therefore if we're gonna punish a buyer it should be for being a NRB (Non
Responsive Buyer) There should be no need for a NPB option if we have that option
instead!?

I fully agree with you. For me the key is communication.
If a buyer wants to have an order cancelled it is fine with me.
But if they never leave a message I cannot know what their plans are.
The only thing I can do is send an e-mail through the Bricklink system as a reminder
3-4 days after sending the invoice.
When no response and/or payment after 7 days I start an NPB. Sometimes this leads
to a response with a request to cancel, a payment or nothing at all and therefore
completion of the NPB.

This is assuming buyers are bad.

Without AC+IP kids playing will place orders and forget them.
With AC+IP, they simply won't place the order.

The case you're talking about is, frankly, extremely rare.

And much more, even if you don't set up AC+IP it still can happen: you send
the invoice, the buyer pays, say it's not received, and you've to refund.


  I also think as a seller that ships in the Netherlands only it isn’t necessary
but I could be wrong.

At the contrary, AC within a single Country is VERY easy to set up contrary to
International... You really should try this.

If you use the setting to only allow IC methods to new buyers then I don't
think even the "failsafe" manual option will work.

Oh please
OF COURSE this buyer is bad and a scammer!

But AC/IP does help against this, A LOT.

As you think of course - my name is nobody.

  I have an order from a buyer made 3 days ago. At that moment a 0 feedback buyer.
No payment at this moment but when checking the buyers feedback it got from -1

All mentioning NPB but still not buyers privilege revoked.

It could be it will be initiated tomorrow but it could also mean sellers aren’t
using the NPB system correctly.

Correct. The NPB system is very often deemed ineffective by sellers who canceling
instead of file. Admin does not get an alert when no one files, so the problem
does not appear on the radar.

  If so it would be a pity since using the system the right way may get bad buyers
out of our system and make it easier for sellers that got their order later.
Now I, and maybe other sellers have to wait for 4 days to start an NPB, wait
another week to complete it while a revoked buyer would mean I could cancel immediately.

This is a fraud situation involving dozens of orders over multiple accounts.
They have all been banned. Please cancel these orders - don't use the regular
NBP system now.
