  I recently decided to add instant checkout to my store. I received my first
ever neutral feedback because I didn't include a note as requested in the
buyer's comment section. My suggestion is to add the buyer's comments
section on the sellers invoice (like it always has been on the invoice when an
invoice was requested). There is no buyer's comments section on the email
I receive notifying me that an order has been placed. In this instance, this
caused an unpleasant experience for the buyer.

Please excuse my ignorance, but where are comments left during Instant Checkout
viewable to sellers? I am wary of this system still and info like this makes
me even more uncertain.

thanks!

As a seller, it doesn't matter to me if the numbers are in bold (showing
'paid' since I don't think it is paid until I check Paypal to make
sure it is in my account. (or received the check in the mail or whatever).
Like Scrooge, I don't ship until I have the 'cash in hand', so I
should be the only one to mark it paid. (or the Paypal link, that is fine too,
just not the buyer).

Regardless of weather this suggestion is accepted- there is a function that you
can use now in order to 'uncheck' and undo the buyer's action of
marking the payment as sent:
-Go here: https://www.bricklink.com/orderSettings.asp
-Check this box: Separate order payment status from order status
-Then go back to your current orders, the payment status will be separated from
from the status.
-Change the payment status from 'sent' to none
- voila, your order and payment status are reset and you can send an invoice
and the 'paid' box that the buyer checked falsely will be unchecked.

Big thanks to Brickwilbo who thought us this valuable feature which we use daily.

Can you imagine a large-volume buyer having to deal with this? I do not consider
myself one, even though my orders placed page currently looks like this. This
is just as important for buyers as it is for you.

  - Buyer placed an order and made a payment without getting an invoice

Hmmmm, so the buyer paid (via PayPal offsite) without getting an invoice? How?
How was he even able to pay you?

He used the email address of my store, which is the wrong address anyway.

Yes great! That is what I did too, because one buyer paid a wrong amount (ex.
$50 Canadian dollars instead of $50 American dollars) another buyer decided to
pay via friends and family,...
I changed the email of my PayPal and now buyers cannot mess up with payment.

They can't? When they send it, isn't it up to you to figure out how to
collect it?

No it is not! If they send it to a wrong email address, I would not even get
any notification that they paid. So I send them a remiander to pay and if buyer
says he paid, I would request more information....and then explain that they
were supposed to pay via PayPal onsite as instructed and this is the only payment
method I accept. I believe mostly would understand their mistake but if they
insist, NPB is upon them

  I wish the payment would simply bounce, but unfortunately it doesn't...

If you send a payment to an email address that is not associated to any PayPal
account, you can easily request a refund from PayPal. It should easily work.
Am I missing something?

This is a problem. A buyer can take a profit and act unfairly. He just mark the
order "paid" and then, as the seller receives many orders, he may not check his
PayPal accounts to see if all orders were paid them. Then he ships the order,
and then, the buyer still do not pay (request to cancel)....

You always need to verify them yourself. But it's a great help that it indicates
that they (claim to have) sent it so you know when to look, especially for payment
methods that don't produce any notifications.

Happens pretty often that buyers just assume that addres is gonna work.. it's
kind of like throwing with money and they have full confidence that you will
catch it Luckily it is possible within PayPal to add alias e-mail addresses.
Unfortunately though, that system is bugged and gives me errors if I press the
verification link it sends to that alias address... I currently have an amount
stuck in limbo because of a buyer using my communication email address and so
far I haven't figured out how to unstuck it.

Every single buyer or most of them change it to paid once they submit the payment
so I know which order to check for apyment and I my self also set the order status
as paid once I pay for the order so the seller can go and check. It´s pretty
helpfull! But might be just informative as well a separate box. I think you
can set a separate status for the seller and byuer in the order setup page in
setting in legacy view
