Thanks

I just least favourited a store that seemed to have reasonable prices after reading
their terms...
"WE DO CHARGE 9% ON ORDERS TO COVER PAYPAL AND BRICKLINK FEES"

I was aware that he meant the Word hence the reason I directed him to the fact
that people still understand the basic concept/principle of a quote therefore
it shouldn't be discouraged just because of a word itself but rather it should
be encouraged because of its usefulness but like anything a word can very easily
be explained in Bricklinks terms as a non obligated draft order with price estimate.
Either way its no different to other terminology that we have to learn here such
as NPB, NRS, NSS. In short it doesn't really matter whether other people
fully understand the word 'Quote' though I suspect most Bricklinkers
already do or at least will, regardless of where they are located in the world

You probably have to do what the grandkids say, but there are some sets that
allow all the way up to 99 and if you were older than that, I expect you would
have already retired.
|
They got rid of the upper age limit soon after they were ridiculed online for
their ageist labelling. Whether it was coincidence or not, I don't know.
Most sets have no upper limit now, especially not the 18+ ones. Even ones that
might be expected to have been labelled as 8-12 or similar are now just 8+, I
think partly as by putting limits on the age on the packaging that they were
putting people off. It did look a bit odd that they were claiming to be inclusive
and that LEGO is for everyone, if they then put upper age limits on packaging
suggesting their sets could not be enjoyed by older people. There is nothing
to stop a 14 year old or a 90 year old from enjoying a set aimed at 8-12 year
olds, but advertising the maximum age is 12 can stigmatise someone from buying
and enjoying it if they are over the recommended age, and is not particularly
inclusive.

Couple of points....
You rely on a buyer fully understanding each individual sellers terms and not
every seller will have this term in place besides which BL makes it that an order
is a binding contract, That means from buyers perspective, order first and worry
about consequences of any excessive terms, fees, shipping charges later and even
if you allow buyers to cancel many won’t therefore across the board this is not
a solution that comes anywhere near close to a decent quote solution and like
I say... Give buyers the confidence and time and they will place larger orders(quotes)
with much less hesitance!
|
|
First: Billions of people don't know what means "Quote" anyway.
|
Then you vastly underestimate peoples knowledge. Most people fully understand
the principal of a quote regardless of what its called or referred to as
| |
So, any system will also fail, already because only in English.
|
and yet people are seemingly able to trade from all around the world on an English
language site?
| | Personally I never use Quotes.
|
Hence why you do not care to see change or is it that you do not use quotes because
they are currently ineffective here for both buyer and seller since a quote is
only worthwhile if stock is held
| |
OF COURSE we'd like a better BrickLink about this.
But what about more important things - like (see above) BrickLink in a few languages?
A faster and working Help System, Notifications?
|
Those kinds of arguments are silly arguments, All issues ought to be fixed regardless
of importance. You don't just leave a spelling mistake in Bricklinks terms
unfixed because of other so called "More Important Things"?
A proper working quote system is an easy fix besides which a buyers shopping
experience here is IMPORTANT and quotes would encourage buyer confidence with
a higher likelihood of increased order sizes and guess what they may actually
choose to shop here again. I expect many buyers are scared away with bad experiences
and hidden charges and if the only way to secure items is to be spontaneous well
then that only creates buyer anxiety and leaves buyers open to the vulnerabilities
that come with making rushed purchase decisions!
| |
| | Also I just tried to place a draft order in your store to see what options were
available to me and this took me further than I liked. I had to click ‘Proceed
to Checkout’ then the next step was ‘Agree and Continue’ yet I was not about
to click that far therefore any reassuring options you feel you might have are
not reassuring for the buyer if Bricklink makes it so they can’t see these options
prior to what essentially feels like the order commitment stage?
|
We always have refunded/cancelled ANY order for any reason - in fact, for no
given reason.
In Europe, it's the Law.
So, what shows BrickLink doesn't mean anything here, sorry to say.
And again, people can send me PM or e-mail, and I'll tell them - they
use long lasting orders like every week, no problem, everybody's happy.

If you refuse to use PayPal, it is probably best to go to your local shopping
mall or use amazon, or ebay for used LEGO. PayPal is pretty much the default
payment system here, especially for US based sellers.

| | Hi all,
Lately I have been seeing more small orders where the shipping costs are many
times the actual value of the parts.
Why don't people wait until the order is a bit larger and in proportion to
the shipping costs. Are people afraid that the parts will no longer be there
(fomo)?
Are other sellers also seeing this trend?
Thoughts?
|
I see this a lot for international orders, i would send a shipping quote first
before sending an invoice. What surprises me is why US buyers buy from me when
they have pretty much all the parts available in country. Orders from Europe
surprises me too.

I’ve have quite a few 0.10-0.25 and orders with 5-6 dollars in shipping. They
pay and sometimes leave feedback so I’m happy
As long as you aren’t losing money I wouldn’t worry about it

Just got a $0.02 order

First: Billions of people don't know what means "Quote" anyway.
So, any system will also fail, already because only in English.
Personally I never use Quotes. I wish to see the final price, or add to an existing
order (I do often, just have 10 opened as of right now). But then it's an
order, not a quote.
If you wish to place an order on a long time, the way I propose works - I had
orders opened for a few months, then gracefully paid.
OF COURSE we'd like a better BrickLink about this.
But what about more important things - like (see above) BrickLink in a few languages?

Frankly, I'm not sure you're on this battle, it's not really a problem.
