You need to contact the help desk with this to get it set to NPB. Quote as much
of the transaction detsil as possible and add the notices from paypal as well.
Ideally BL should have picked up the mismatcb witb the unpaid BL_LIVE invoice.
However, you will not be able to change the payment method from paypal to stripe
or transfer. As far as I know, you need to cancel the order and the buyer has
to resubmit a different order for another payment method. You also cannot prevent
that specific buyer from using IC with paypal again. In the absence of those
controls, another status setting might not be of too much help.

Have your tried with the payment status Returned or Bounced?
Sergio

Yes, I have tried both of those. If we had a status of rejected then the system
would need to be programmed to then allow a NPB. I've also reset the status
to pending.

Will a status of rejected help?
If you cannot set to NPB, you cannot get your fees refunded as a non transaction
Surely you want to be able to access the NPB if there is a problem, not add another
option

On the orders page, the grand total is Black, and when the order is marked as

Is it possible to have these as 2 different colours for clarity.
Also it changes to bold when marked as paid, but when marked as Packed (which
happens after paid) if the buyer hasn't marked as paid, it goes back to original
type. Please can it remain at Bold.

I have the payment status separated from the order status, that way when payment
is paid or complete it stays bold whatever you change the order status.

If there is still the number of total booklets then that could be very confusing

| Can we get a "By State" drop down search box please ??
All the data's already there, we just need the filter added to sort it. It
should be an easy query to add to the search form
I buy and sell, and really like buying from local sellers, as the shipping is
usually 1-2 days at the most. Or some are even willing to meet you the same day
to come pick up parts. I met another local seller in my town searching for local
sellers, and she was totally cool with meeting u pto get parts. As would I if
someone was close enough.
If we could filter a single state, and sort by best price, BAM !! Instant parts
just about.
The current option kind of sucks... Go to the main sellers list, open every
store in your state in a new tab, and search every store for the parts you want.
WAY to slow !!

you when a match is added (it's Off by default). It's an opt-in system,
so only people who want those emails will get them.
If you are getting wanted item emails you don't want, go check your Wanted

Had that once with an order that did not get shipped. Was marked as Paid. Then
I issued NSS, good communication with the seller, problem solved, positive feedback
and everything good. But order status was set back to Pending after I removed
the NSS. And with this it still sits in my list. Would be really good if buyers
could change the status.

The reason why I'm wondering:
I'm sure there are members who logs in daily to see if another

waiting until he/she/they react(s).
|
Be patient.
| |
It will also be handy to see if a member (who placed an order on your store)
is active on BL and isn't responding to your multiple messages (or just ignoring),
and easier to decide to cancel an order.
|
If the buyer doesn't respond you should start the NPB-process and complete
it before canceling the order.
| |
For example (my example):
There is a member (USA) who has placed an order on my store (Belgium) a few days
ago. I instantly filled in and sent the invoice to serve him and be able to send
the parcel (after payment) as quickly as possible. But until now, two days later,
he hasn't read the message nor has paid for the order. Now I'm just wondering
if he was active or not lately... cause the hole situation is making me nervous.
I know I should be patient... but I find it kind of weird he responded very quickly
to my last call for buying, and afterwards not responding anymore.
So if you recognize yourself in such a situation, maybe vote 'YES' and
perhaps selling on BL will be more pleasant and more serious. I'm sure there
is a lot of members thinking this way, isn't it?

| | From 1/1-2020 it is no longer possible to ship goods internationally in a letter
by PostNL. There has been a lot about this in this forum.
Professional dealers can still ship at a special rate using the online system.
But this online system requires filling in fields ´very strictly´ so street,
number, extra number, region, city, postcode.
We used to copypaste BL adresses, annd expected the local post to make the right
interpretation. But this is no longer possible.
Especially Asian adresses (S.Korea,Taiwan,Japan, China, Hong Kong) now gives
some questions, because it is not allways clear ´what is what´. Japanese addresses
come in the opposite order, sometimes there is as name or number, appartment
names and numbers that can be mixed up with a streetname, and there is the problem
that numbers come before streetnames on the label- streetnumbers are printed
AFTER the streetname. In many adresses it looks that things are mentioned twice,
but possible name of city and region are the same.
More postal administrations will adopt this new system thatis required by UPU,
(countries like USA will no longer accept and may even destroy shipments without
'prior notice of content', that's what postNL tells us) so this problem
would grow in the future.
In fact this requires a new way to display adresses ( "WITH LABEL") on brickink
to avoid `wrong` or incomplete adresses to be used.
Even more important because the lines on this label is limited and unneccesary
information pushes out important information from the line.

It's good for two reasons - first to avoid mistakes as you describe, and
secondly, sellers automate the process in their own software, either with the
API or with CSV/Excel uploads. I want to do that too, but my software will only
be able to generate the right data if it in fact is told what is what. It saves
a significant amount of time doing it automated, but without clear fields, the
only way to do it is manually as it requires human common sense..
I'm sure it would be useful for more sellers than just the Dutch ones.
|
Yes I fully agree with this. And the importance of this will grow with the further
worldwide introduction of this electronic 'exchange' of shipping details.
So I hope we will get some more support to make some changes in the way Bricklink
displays the addresses. Fixed fields for all addres components is the best way
to achieve this.

Especially Asian adresses (S.Korea,Taiwan,Japan, China, Hong Kong) now gives
some questions, because it is not allways clear ´what is what´. Japanese addresses
come in the opposite order, sometimes there is as name or number, appartment
names and numbers that can be mixed up with a streetname, and there is the problem
that numbers come before streetnames on the label- streetnumbers are printed
AFTER the streetname. In many adresses it looks that things are mentioned twice,
but possible name of city and region are the same.
More postal administrations will adopt this new system thatis required by UPU,
(countries like USA will no longer accept and may even destroy shipments without
'prior notice of content', that's what postNL tells us) so this problem
would grow in the future.
In fact this requires a new way to display adresses ( "WITH LABEL") on brickink
to avoid `wrong` or incomplete adresses to be used.
Even more important because the lines on this label is limited and unneccesary
information pushes out important information from the line.

It's good for two reasons - first to avoid mistakes as you describe, and
secondly, sellers automate the process in their own software, either with the
API or with CSV/Excel uploads. I want to do that too, but my software will only
be able to generate the right data if it in fact is told what is what. It saves
a significant amount of time doing it automated, but without clear fields, the
only way to do it is manually as it requires human common sense..
I'm sure it would be useful for more sellers than just the Dutch ones.

Yes, your bluser number can be seen by going to your Account Info page. The
second bit of information there is titled User ID. That's your bluser number.
Someday in the distant future, when we're all dead, they'll eject us
from the system and make us blusers, too. Not too fond of the idea, as I'd
rather be remembered as StormChaser, not BLUSER_13161.

Well the high number of views against each post and the number of subsequent
comments would suggest they are being read and whilst some people are repeating
certain stuff from the FAQ including myself to a certain degree I think its just
because people are looking for a litttle more elaboration on what's previously
been anounced.

| Yes a blank option would be great. While AfterPay or Zippay won’t integrate with
Market place platforms, a blank option will give us the availability to use an

Afterpay
Zip Pay
or at least have a blank one so that we can input our own custom method.

Please don't. I've dealt with 2FA supporting medical and financial software
for years. It's a pain to set up, and the training curve with too many users
is a vertical wall. I've yet to see a 2FA provider who doesn't have outages
every few weeks, and your phone is NOT secure. For what is a retail operation,
over complicated processes and ticked off customers lead to less of a retail
operation. Add in the expense of doing this internationally, and you will see
a notable jump in what TLG has to skim off the top for fees. Not something that
any of us want.
Use paypal, tie it to your credit card. That will give you security for your
money. If you're worried about some getting in and messing with your inventory....
Don't invent things to be scared of.

| I support the idea of proper 2FA. Messages to a phone or mobile device (via SMS
or otherwise) is not proper 2FA. Supporting the U2F standard would be perfect
IMO, its designed to be a 2FA solution that avoids all the problems of using
phones as a 2FA solution. And its open and well documented (and AFAIK designed
to be easy for sites to implement)
It can (if implement correctly) even help stop phishing attacks (where someone
creates a fake web page designed to make you think its the real page and then
uses that fake page to steal login information or otherwise do nefarious things)

| As I go through updating my postage for the USPS rate increase in effect on Monday,
I'm reminded that we still don't have the ability to use zone pricing
based on zip codes for shipping. We all use the same zone groupings, so we would
just need a chart set up like we do for international shipping, but with the
9 zone fields. I end up overcharging and giving refunds if the amount is excessive.
Thanks,

2FA = 2-Factor-Authentication
It could help prevent hacking or stealing of accounts and account & inventory

Of course this could be set as optional on the account.
