That was my point: I’m not sure they won’t have that patience if it’s just waiting
doing nothing. Unless you add conditions… which will make it too complicated
for everybody.
Genuine sellers will go elsewhere too.
(Granted, occasional sellers might be less numerous than scammers….)
Heartbricker’s proposal already bothers me for that same reason: you should be
able to sell without buying first.
All the “forbid to sell this or that before this or that” proposals bother me…
unless there’s also the option of a real vetting process (of which buyers are
informed, else, it’s useless).
We don’t know much about the current vetting process’s efficacity. Mainly because
we don’t know which stores were or not vetted and if it prevented scams. But
all it does is allow other payment methods than Paypal. And that Paypal obligation
is easily bypassed with gullible buyers, so, actually, scammers don’t even need
to be vetted.
There’s another vetting process already in place: feedback. And we already know
it’s not efficient. It’s not sufficient to prevent buyers to get scammed as they
happily enter unbelievable deals with 0 FB sellers.
So, either get buying FB first (BLers’ vetting), or go through a real admin vetting.
No need to add conditions to what can be sold when.

How about limiting all new stores to sell only parts for 30 days. They can list

So scammers will only have to wait a month doing nothing?
I know they are greedy and impatient but that’s too easily circumvented.

| | To follow-up, as I indicated in a PM to you, I did find a number of other inventory
errors in this set, as you say above, but all of the errors were in excess pieces,
whereas the 49 1x4 brick-logs seems to be a shortage. Which is why I've
raised the inventory change request twice - I built the set twice in the past
two years, and both times found the shortage. And both times I found the same
excess pieces.
The quantity of 49 seems odd to me given that the build is very symmetrical -
3 bricks on one side and 3 bricks on the other, etc. etc. So, the nature of
the build seems to me that there would always be an EVEN number of bricks, not
an ODD number of bricks. Having said that, maybe there is an instruction booklet
out there with 49 brick-logs.
I'm going to go through the build once more and I will compile a list of
the errors as I see them, and I'll post them here.

As a follow up to the above post, I said that I'd post a list of the other
errors. However, I subsequently realized that there are two outstanding inventory
change requests for this particular Lego set. If those change requests are indeed
implemented, they would correct the errors that I found. So I won't post
the corrections here, and a PM has been sent to Russell with the details.
But hopefully it will be noted in the inventory that there are versions of the
7019 set with 50 instead of 49 Reddish Brown 30137 Brick, Modified 1x4 Log.

They can’t create those “few fake seller accounts” because these accounts also

If you can’t create one seller account before having bought, you can’t create
10 more.

Ah, yes. Just so.

Just setup a window chat on all new stores so the experienced user can ask or
write their opinion
After you have the window chat is enough to ask for real pictures and everybody
can see the answer
It will stop 100% of the scammers

Agree. I still don't understand the new BL's love for contrasting white
with extremely light gray. This applies to set inventories, part-outs, etc. as
well. It's hard to enough to sell Lego just having to figure out Light Gray,
Light Bluish Gray, Pearl Light Gray, Flat Silver...!

I cant see the difference in colours on mine either, id actually completely forgot
they were ever alternate colours, having a tiny store it isnt an issue for me
either.
But I will say this much, even though this one doesnt affect me, user changing
the computer screen contrast is inconvenient if the user has their monitor set
up to specific settings for a particular reason as it would have to be changed
back every time the other reason comes into play.
I personally dont see any harm in making lines available, even if its on an optional
toggle on/off basis from store settings, that way BL can very easily help users
out with no extra fuss

I'm beginning to think that this issue is actually limited to certain PC's.
I have a HP TouchSmart 300 PC, and the screen is actually a 20inch LCD one...
Colours are bright and are very noticeable...
Maybe having the ability to change the colour bars when on that particular page
will help?

Putting aside all the posts that say it wont work, I think it is a great idea.
It will not stop 100% of all the scammers but it will stop at least 95% (like
you said). Yes, as one poster said, coming up with an idea that would stop 100%
of the scammers of course would be better but to stop 95% with just one simple
change like this would be great.
Here are just 3 thoughts as to why I think your idea would work great at stopping
95% of the scum scammers:
1, Scammers like to make their money fast and disappear. Needing 10 FB's
would cause them to have to wait until they placed 10 orders, receive invoices
and pay for all 10, and then wait until they receive their needed 10 FB's
from 10 sellers. This would take more time and effort them most scammers would
be willing to spend.
2, Going along with the #1 above, scammers like to set up one fake account take
as many suckers as they can then disappear as that seller and then open up different
fake account, scam some more suckers, etc. They cant do that with out waiting
for those 10 feedbacks for every account they open. Also, for every false account
they open they will need a real address for each fake account or they will not
be getting any of their orders. Some of those orders will be returned which will
also start to raise flags.
3, Scammers DO NOT like to spend their own money, they only want to take ours.
Even if they only place 10 cent orders the postage will still be at least around
lets say $2.50 so times that by 10 equals at least 26.00 bucks.

| This would help in searching for scammers, no stock, no immediate problem.
Many scammers launch quickly with stock as they need fast orders, payments and
then leave.
If we could see this on the members listings along with the squares denoting
buyer and / or seller it would allow these to be checked first rather than wade
through them all.

What is stopping them from making a few fake seller accounts and "selling" themselves
some fake stuff and giving themselves feedback for it?

I'm pretty sure it is, actually. If the purchase qualifies for buyer protection,
the buyer is protected (regardless of whether Paypal can successfully recover
the funds or not). They changed their terms while back.

Having an escrow-type way to hold funds was part of the plan that was rolled
out at the summit in Chicago a year and a half ago. When BL discussed it on the
forum, a lot of people on the forum complained very loudly that it was a terrible
idea, and we haven't heard a lot about it since then. It's too bad, because
I thought (and still think) that it's a fantastic idea. (A side benefit of
it is that BL could LOWER our Paypal fees, as well.)

I dont think this will work, it is very easy to make some fake accounts and
buy 10 times and give 10 x feedback.
Maybe it is possible to add a sort of "verified account" status.
Only if an account is verified they can sell.
Or only If they are verified a red flag turns in a green flag. As long as a seller
has a red flag every buyer in that shop gets a popup at checkout with warnings
to be carefull before purchasing.
A group of "certified" volunteers can verify all the adress and account-info
before turning it into a green flag. With every adress or account change a seller
must go through the process of verifying again. (to prefend hackers or accounts
taken over by other persons)

The whole point of starting from 10 successful buying transaction is that they
cannot start multiple seller accounts to gain feedback.
Also isn't it better to make a scammer jump through some obstacles before
being able to scam? this suggestion makes the seller do some work to gain access
to selling where NOW he can just scam, if it doesn't work he opens a new
account and starts again- so easy. having to make 10 purchases will make the
person get a paypal account (most scammers don't have PP they ask for wire
transfers)
This idea is good because it is simple to implement- it won't solve the problem
100%- but will over 90%
|
I agree with you, your idea is great.
But why not going for 99,8% instead of 90%
I've seen scammers do more for less effort.
Also here on Bricklin; making several accounts, buying from each other for several
weeks and then at a sudden they sell the "If it seems too good to be true, it
probably is" things

The risk is that for the scammers who put in that extra work, their account now
looks a lot more trustworthy, so when they move on to the scam, they are a lot
more likely to be successful at it. Ebay had a similar problem (I don't know
if they still do) -- sellers would sell a few dozen items for a penny, take
the loss, and then when their account looked great, with lots of praising feedback,
they'd flip it into a scam.

I'd agree with you BUT the normal scam is that the new sellers claim to have
a PP account and then tell the buyers to send the money through wire transfers/western

| To follow-up, as I indicated in a PM to you, I did find a number of other inventory
errors in this set, as you say above, but all of the errors were in excess pieces,
whereas the 49 1x4 brick-logs seems to be a shortage. Which is why I've
raised the inventory change request twice - I built the set twice in the past
two years, and both times found the shortage. And both times I found the same
excess pieces.
The quantity of 49 seems odd to me given that the build is very symmetrical -
3 bricks on one side and 3 bricks on the other, etc. etc. So, the nature of
the build seems to me that there would always be an EVEN number of bricks, not
an ODD number of bricks. Having said that, maybe there is an instruction booklet
out there with 49 brick-logs.
I'm going to go through the build once more and I will compile a list of
the errors as I see them, and I'll post them here.

OK, after studying this inventory a bit and hearing from a couple people offering
different pieces of the puzzle, I am ready to pronounce this inventory to be
the textbook definition of a MESS. Not the worst I've seen on BL, but pretty
bad.
The root of the problem as I see it now is that the original inventory was compiled
from two different versions of the set - a very early version (whose production
run may have been cut short) and the "regular" early version. Alternate quantities
were listed in the Regular section alongside the Regular quantities, with no
distinguishing markings.
A late version which had a supplemental instructions sheet (showing the lengthening
of two pairs of plates - see images below) was then discovered and the differences
were added to the BL inventory within a month.
At the time this inventory was added (2005), sellers were fully expected to manually
confirm the contents of their particular sets during partout. That's how
a "fusion" inventory like this one could be made to work. This goes as a reminder
that the BL partout feature (similar to the recent populate new inventory feature)
was never intended to be a one-click operation. Rather, it was designed only
to take the brunt of the catalog work out of the partout process.
Anyhow, the change log is filled with a variety of things. The fixing of clerical
errors, attempts to separate extras, attempts to account for the two early versions,
standard system upgrades, the adding of mold variants, and a whole lot of match
ID changes. In addition, there are currently a number of pending requests from
two different members. But with a little patience, it will get fixed. I have
an idea in mind.
As a point of interest, if our current Inv Admin (Jen) at some point adds her
blue squares to this change log, it will likely set a record for the most Inv
Admins to work on a given inventory (six!).

Agree. I still don't understand the new BL's love for contrasting white
with extremely light gray. This applies to set inventories, part-outs, etc. as
well. It's hard to enough to sell Lego just having to figure out Light Gray,
Light Bluish Gray, Pearl Light Gray, Flat Silver...!

I do also see the alternating shades for each line. However, this doesn't
do a lot to avoid the issue of having to scroll horizontally (and potentially
losing track of what line we are looking at).
There are a few ways this could be fixed. I think the first thing would be to
let each order take up 2 lines. Even though this would take up more vertical
space, vertical scrolling is MUCH better than horizontal scrolling on a webpage.
Second, all of the editable fields and button should be grouped together. We
shouldn't need to scroll all the way over to click the feedback button
or add a tracking number. Anything interactive should be on the left, so we know
it all belongs to the same order, and the non-interactive info (the dates, the
payment type, the grand total) can be off to the side a bit. Better yet, let
us arrange the columns however we like.
And third, a lot of this should be editable on the Order Details screen. That
way, we have a single order up, we can see exactly what is in the order, making
it really easy to enter information like shipping cost, tracking number, and
leaving feedback (and knowing for sure that we are entering this on the right
order).

Hmm, I will check, thanks. Well, I guess I can "see" it, but it does involve
some frequent frowning and since my screen is 60 cm wide it's not immediately
clear at first glance. I mean, it only takes me 2 seconds to figure out who paid,
but if if they did something about the layout it could be clear to me in 0.1
second instead of 2 and I would have more overview. (An option to turn on colour-coding
the entire line would be helpful for me, for example when a buyer marks an order
as paid). It's no immediate problem, but I do experience it as the least
smooth part of the routine that could be improved easily.

How do you verify their address? They could easily buy a few penny parts and
have them shipped for minimal postage costs to a random address. Do that ten
times. They don't care if they arrive or not.
The first scam they do easily outweighs the costs of the postage to a false address.
Or they will buy pennies worth from stores, say sorry that they placed the order
by mistake and they'll pay for the parts anyway to compensate the seller
(and so the order doesn't actually cancel). That'll be 10 completed sales
for less than 50c.
Even worse, they'll scam sellers as buyers before scamming buyers as sellers.
They'll place 10 orders, get them, do their selling scams, get shut down
and then scam the original sellers by claiming non-receipt.

Well they can buy somebody's Lego on sale to put in their store. I agree
with Heartbricker's suggestion. After all you should know something about
buying Lego and how to package etc. before selling it. Not to mention it would
be nice to know a few things about parts and colors too.

| Good morning,
In my normal life beside LEGO I have to travel a lot. During that time I am not
able to manage any orders and my children are to Young to do this Job alone.
Now I have two possibilities at Bricklink which are more or less OK:
a) closing the shop completely - my experience Shows that it takes again a few
days after my shop is re-opened to receive some orders
b) using the announcement in my Settings as a dismissable message. The message
Shows when I will be back to ship the orders. I am afraid that the buyers can
oversee this banner although it's with red Background.
My Suggestion is to have a out-of-Office message like you can have it at - sorry
for using it here - eBay with a Shop. The buyers can see the message that I am
out-of-Office and that there could be delay during the shipment. And in Addition
the buyers are getting an additional message to their order confirmation which
was generated by the System.
The Advantages are that there are two ways of Information of the "delay" for
shipment and that the late shipment is not negative for me (Feedback System at
eBay).
I know that I could Change the auto-Messages in my Settings - but I guess I will
Forget to delete this sentence after return.
Any comments are welcome.
Best regards from Paris (just on a Business trip),
Oliver.
