| For whatever reason, people can not request quotes because it's telling buyers
that I don't have a shipping method available.
I have "Accept quote requests" turned on in Management.
I tried setting up my own method (and enabling it) where it's set to "manual"
(doesn't show up)
I tried importing the shared method (and enabling it) that is specifically called
"Request for quote" and it only gives a "place order" option,
the request for a quote button that should be below that is not visible for the
buyers.
I followed the instructions on this page: https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=2437
and nothing seems to be working.
What am I missing?

| Could you perhaps post a picture of your entire request quote shipping option
in its entirety

Yea sure thing. Getting ready to hit the sack though. Been trying to figure
this out all night because I'm anal retentive and I hate when things don't
work.

Still stumped. I even took an existing method (USPS large Box Priority) and
changed it to manual (and removed dimension restrictions) and it said no method
was available. The Mustang set is roughly 64 ounces. Here's what I see
and what the buyer sees/saw.
The same occurs when I use the shared method, but with the shared method it says
"place order" without the option for a quote.

| For my quote option it looks like this and I have "Accept Quote Requests"
enabled in store management just like you. perhaps try adjusting your setup to
work similarly.

Crap... I might have made changes since then. I'll message you in a moment.

In truth the whole quote process in general is broken and unfit for purpose:-
https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1460675
I really wish Bricklink would adopt a simple system where only instant checkout
orders are FIXED orders, anything else is regarded as a quote. The seller manually
invoices the buyer and the buyer has 24 hours to pay after receiving that invoice
else inventory auto returns to stock. There should be no obligation for a buyer
to buy under these circumstances and therefore no longer any reason to need to
issue NPB's

This sounds like a much better system.

| Okay. It's apparently working, so I'm just going to leave it alone and
never edit the method ever again.
