Why does bricklink show this? A simple IF statement could be used to only show
a discount when it is possible for a buyer to achieve. Then it doesn't make
the store look stupid by offering discounts that a buyer cannot possibly take
advantage of.

  - 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

Well seems the system works differently here... it's kind of up to the seller
to figure out how to claim it. If the alias system would work properly that would
be no problem, but right now I don't know how to fix this.


Why is it up to the seller to figure it out?
Buyer sends to an incorrect address, nothing the seller can do about that. The
buyer should contact PayPal about it.
When payment is done to an address that PayPal doesn't know, a mail is send
to that address from PayPal and the receiver can open up an account with PayPal
and claim the money. When the address doesn't exist the mail with bounce,
but PayPal doesn't do anything with that. Only after the money hasn't
been claimed for a period of time (that can be the 2 months mentioned below)
it will be returned to the sender of the money.

  
  
  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?

I don't think it can be cancelled like that.. I rememeber I once had to wait
2 months with a buyer for their payment to finally bounce, so they could send
it again. Not really an acceptable situation, because you'll just have to
hope the buyer is trustworthy. But as usual PayPal does everything for the buyer
and nothing for the seller.


Seller can't cancel that transaction, he is no participent in it. Buyer should
contact PayPal to get it cancelled. And why wait for it to bounce? Buyer could
have send the money to the correct address right away. It's the buyers choice
to wait, no obligtion.

  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.

Did you put the BUYERCOMMENTS in your template? Then it should work.

Not even sure how you managed to have a different invoice for IC than for manual?
I wish there was a INSTANTCHECKOUT-EQ conditional macro tag to handle that, but
there isn't...

The one you want to edit is "Purchase Confirmation", that is supposedly an invoice
you issue for instant checkout. I am thinking of adding some lines to that so
it can serve as a sort of an invoice and a receipt in one, or well, just something
better than basically telling the buyer he has ordered a thing from somewhere
with not even a thank you for the payment and no terms.

You of course cannot edit the header and call the thing an invoice, grrr

In the order confirmation email under the shipping method is a 'Comments
from Buyer:' section. Below it are the items of the order.

The Comments from Buyer are also visible below the items on the orders details
page.

Two neutral feedbacks within a week of each other?! You poor soul.

Wow! You can write a whole novel apparently. I just tried and was still limited
to 80. Maybe it was edited?

  Someone just ordered from me and marked the order paid when I haven't even
sent an invoice yet! But now the line is grayed out, and I am unable to send
an invoice! Why is there even the option for a buyer to mark the order paid?
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).

Lisa at Brick Dungeon

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.

Taught lol

Thank you! I did not know of this feature either. Hey, I learned something today!
