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...

https://www.bricklink.com/v2/mystore/message_templates.page

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

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.

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

This is a problem. A buyer can take a profit and act unfairly. He just mark the

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.

I have had this issue too. I resolved it by contacting the buyer and asking him
to remove the paid / payment sent.

My situation:
- I do not accept onsite payment ( I always send a manual invoice)
- Buyer placed an order and made a payment without getting an invoice
- Buyer marked order as paid/payment sent
- At that point the order was grayed out and not editable anymore
- When hovering over the order there was a text box stating that order had been
paid and could not be changed anymore.
- After I sent the mail the user changed the status and then I was able to enter
shipping and send the invoice.

I hope there will be a proper fix, but the workaround is to ask the customer
to revert the status.

Andy

I'm pretty sure that's a bug.. buyers can't change the order status
to paid, only sellers or onsite payment can.

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

So.. are you talking about the order status, or about the grand total showing
in bold because the buyer submitted the payment? You'd want to remove the
latter just because you don't need it?

Well, I need it.. not everyone
works with PayPal. If buyers send me bank transfers, I need to see that so that
I can ship their order or verify the payment. It's a pretty important feature
to me.

Well, drats. I guess that isn't the solution either. But I have checked my
Paypal account, and there is NO payment from the buyer. And yet, since he marked
it paid, everything is grayed out and I cannot add a shipping amount or send
an invoice! Frustrating!! Okay, so a better solution may be that BrickLink does
NOT gray out the options!!

Lisa

Hi Lisa,

You should be able to send an invoice. One of the changes we made last week was
to allow an invoice regardless of order status:

https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1198619

(7) b. Sellers can send an invoice independent of order status

This has also been reverted to the way it was originally. And sending an invoice
will not automatically change the Order Status.

So if you can't send an invoice, that's a bug and we'll need to get
it fixed.

Regarding being able to change the charges on an order after the order has been
paid, this is something we did not revert last week, and a number of sellers
have come forward with situations where they still would like to use this option.
I will gather up these comments and re-open this issue with the team this coming
week to see if we can be more flexible.

Although, my understanding of the "Paid" status would be that the seller would
have to mark it as paid, or it would be marked as paid as a result of an onsite
payment transaction. I would not consider a buyer marking something as "Paid"
as something that should limit the seller's options in any way. Maybe there
is some confusion on this depending on whether the seller has enabled the option
of separating payment status from order status.

Also, and I extend this to anyone who has an order status that is stuck for whatever
reason. Please contact me and I will change the order status for you manually.

Almost all of my customers who use Iban / bank account for payment mark it manually
as "paid". With the order status and payment status separated, it is also shown
in the payment status as "sent" if a customer marks the order as paid.

Is it possible for Bricklink to improve the method of requesting insurance for
an order?
Currently one has to add a comment to another area, which I am not sure if the
seller sees.
Also when doing instant checkout through Paypal, there is no way to add insurance,
as the order gets paid for before the seller even sees it. (To the best of my
knowledge, as I am not a seller.) I do add the comment anyway, but it seems
kind of pointless once the money has been sent.
Not sure if I am in the minority with my consistent request for insurance. If
so, then it is more understandable why this may not have been addressed previously
and/or may not be addressed soon.
Thank you for your time and consideration.

In my opinion that entire field should be ditched. It's been taking up space
in the middle for my screen for 15 years and I never understood what exactly
it's for. BO doesn't have it either. But that's my perspective, maybe
I'm just missing something..

How confusing that even you don't mention that 'Paid' has always
been a status set by the Buyer to indicate payment was sent. https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=121

On the seller's end it may show up differently.

The "Paid" status, the order status, can only be set by the seller or by instant
checkout onsite payment. It cannot be set by the buyer. The payment status you
are referring to is called "Sent" (payment sent) as displayed in that list you
linked.
When the seller has the order and payment status are separated that shows up
in the payment status field, when the seller does not separate those, the grand
total shows up in bold to reflect that the payment was sent.

in bold because the buyer submitted the payment? You'd want to remove the
latter just because you don't need it?

Well, I need it.. not everyone
works with PayPal. If buyers send me bank transfers, I need to see that so that
I can ship their order or verify the payment. It's a pretty important feature
to me.

I'm pretty sure that's a bug.. buyers can't change the order status
to paid, only sellers or onsite payment can.

Why is there even the option for a buyer to mark the order paid?

Oh, wait a sec, I've been talking about that with the developers, the idea
was to disallow any changes after the buyer paid, to which I said "sure, why
not"... but I didn't realise that perhaps they meant "when the buyer marks
the order as paid" and not "when an onsite payment is received and the order
status is updated to paid".

In that case, yeah, this is a good point. Something needs to be done about it,
because right now the buyer can just mark that they've paid at any point.
This should probably be disabled on the buyer's side until an invoice is
sent - either manually or generated by IC. From what I can see, this way it would
be OK to keep that new rule of barring changes after the buyer indicates paid.
Although it needs to be verified with other sellers..

As a buyer, I use the 'paid' option to inform my seller I have paid for
the order.
Usefull for non-instant-checkout sellers!

Me too

You can also add to your store and keep it closed. There are other sites for
personal inventory management if that's what your end goal is.

Hello I am having a small problem. I was wandering if there was a best way to
inventory all my parts I have without putting them into a store? The problem
I am having is I keep reordering parts over and over I already have. My next
question would I be able to compare my wanted list to parts inventory I got already?
Thanks

Howdy.

It took me a long time to start my store as I was wondering how to overcome these
types of questions. The simple fix is you have the option to add to a stockroom
or not. So anything I am happy to sell has no stockroom. Anything I need to come
back to Stockroom A, anything I certainly do not want to sell Stockroom B. To
throw a curve ball in anything that I want to keep but am happy to sell for the
right price , I price accordingly.

Your second question is answered by doing it this way in the first place. You
can then simply order stock that you do not have and it will not order what you
have either in store or in stockroom.

Cheers,
Adam

I think that when going to a category such as Minifigures, parts, or sets there
should be an option to sort from highest to lowest price and vice versa. A benefit
of this would be if I wanted, say, a Ninjago villain because all I have are ninja,
but I don’t want to pay a lot, I could just sort the entire Ninjago minifigure
category from lowest to highest price and select the first cool villain I find,
which is obviously the cheapest because of how it would be sorted. It would make
it a lot easier than searching through a bunch of characters and writing down
all the prices. I have added a picture of where this should go in the catalogue.

I hope you consider my suggestion.

2. In the orders, I would like to keep the ID# of each part. Currently,
only the name of the part is kept.

Hi,

I've actually found a functionality already available in BrickLink interface
to add the part ID# to the orders:
On the "Order Placed" screen, "Settings" "My Orders Settings" / "Order Detail
Settings" / "Show Item Number" tickbox.

Cheers,
Jonathan.
