Reminds me of wolfpackbricks.

I added 20K + parts a few weeks ago and felt sending out wanted notifications
was sufficient. No need to spam the forum every day about every added part.

if you are not allowed to advertise here I think you should just take out the
entire sales page because you can never do anything against the big boys here
even if you have a million bricks are online because they are covered by lego

You are perfectly allowed to post sales here, even once every day, but I mentioned
this before - putting your inventory up with a sale of 15% every day is
not a sale, that is your normal price. Advertising this on the forum every day
and being seen by (mostly) the same people every day is not going to increase
your sales, it will make you look silly.

Niek.

And on homescreen sale is shown, so maybe someone new sees an announcement for
the first time. So that justifies hè announcement.
But advertising everyday with 50% discount is even sillier.
How can some have a continuous sale of 50%?
That means he has overpriced his items bigtime.

Unfortunately for you, this is easily checked. Your last parts addition was March
6, which is more than "... the day before".

in my store yet and possibly placed an order then you can see that I do deliver
quality and try to get my feedback to 100% and I think that a lot small shops
suffer from this

FYI - you would need to raise another 160.000 positive feedbacks to get your
FB to 100%.

All I am saying is two things (before, it was only one thing):

- A sale every day for about the same percentage is not a sale;
- Posting factually wrong info is not going to help you.

I am not arguing your quality, I am trying to give you some advice, which you
are obviously unwilling to take into account. That is fine, I will stop.

Just sayin' the forum is not the best route to sell parts. I thought this
was explained to you as wolfpackbricks when you first started the spam campaign.
Just list what you have, send out wanted notifications to those who want them
and if warranted orders will come.

P.S. no fear of not selling stones on my part because I don't deal in stones,
just Lego parts on BL.

It's not a matter of whether it's allowed — what people are telling
you is that daily sales posts are poor etiquette, and not even effective as a
sales tactic.

then you can tell me what is effective outside the 6 month average with a 20
percent discount and upload parts every day what I earn with this I will buy
Lego again and yes my feedback is 91.36 and it will still go up but at some point
if you do nothing sells you can't buy lego again to put in your store and
all due to low feedback

Any buyer who looks at your feedback will not buy. Negatives are bad, but the
way they appear to have been dealt with is poor customer service from your side.
Hard to regain customer trust after that.

Just patience. Keep uploading parts, try to aim for 100k, and maintain competitive
prices and good service. It's the frequent sale announcements that aren't
helping. I understand that it's hard to afford new stock when you aren't
getting orders in the first place, but there's a reason BrickLink isn't
the best get-rich-quick scheme.

+1 we all make mistakes and it does seem like you are trying to improve in that
regard and others here are simply trying to point out that the excessive posts
are doing more harm then good.

yes, I understand that and I also accept that advice, but if you have everything
online at a certain point, then you can no longer do anything and I will continue
to advertise a bit, in principle, cannot hurt

Yup advertising in moderation can help but the trick is to find the right balance
tho. when I used to advertise sales for the most part it was once a week tops
and it seemed to work well

Just an advice and not to harm you.

But you can look into you shipping table.
I tried to make an order but got confused about the shipping costs.

Your Terms and conditions says a small letter within the Netherlands would cost:
€0,96
Your Shipping policy say it costs: €4,50
And when checking-out with auto checkout it says: €1.01

Also your sale in your banner says 15% off while you advertise on the forum with
20%

You say in your terms:
  i'm only a human

So take this as an advise.
