Not to mention that most of the people who would agree to remove it would probably
also be the same ones who would then complain the loudest that it is no longer
there.

Please remove the suggestion topic from the forums. There's 850 open suggestions
with over 77,000 posts and 0 have been implemented. Most recently the suggestion
to remove MSRP's was discarded even though the vast majority of sellers do
not want it.
I've seen numerous suggestions to alter the way feedback is displayed to
better represent the members performance in the community and thus far nothing
has come of it.
I understand the desire for any company to want input from their customers, but
in this setting when input is given, but action is not taken it quickly becomes
demoralizing for the members. Eventually people realize their opinion is of
no value to ownership and they stop participating. I think when a company puts
more emphasis on "market research" than they do the words coming from customers
mouths it's a recipe for degradation of the community here on bricklink.
Like I said, this is a serious suggestion. I think giving people the illusion
of some decision making ability when in fact they have none will do nothing more
than hurt the site.

I disagree.
Could there be more action on suggestions? Absolutely. Is it frustrating to see
many great suggestions that have not been implemented over the last few years?
Definitely.

Voted yes. Completely worthless topic.

| | Third, I do not believe buyers should be able to cancel an entire order if something
is missing. Because, in my case at least, it is not necessary to cancel the order.
If the buyer really needs that missing item, I will order it from another seller
and have it shipped directly to the buyer at my expense. Thus, the buyer loses
nothing.

That's great if I'm ordering from you or another seller with this policy.
If I order from a store without this policy, and they end up not having the main
item I wanted, you are saying that I should now be required to either pay for
the shipping cost and items I only included as add-ons, or accept NPB penalty.
Just in general, I think the penalty for an order cancellation is excessive.
If a buyer lets the seller know soon after the invoice is sent, I don't see
it as a big problem (unless they are abusive with it, such as holding up a large
portion of inventory). Especially in cases where shipping costs/fees are not
explicitly outlined (major problem with BrickLink) - sorry saying "actual shipping
cost" as most sellers here do is not enough. I have had several times where a
seller ships by a more expensive method than necessary. So I can't know how
much I will be charged before placing an order.
