  re: shipping zones

are you talking about ADDING the option for zones or REPLACING shipping costs
by weight WITH zones?


Hello jhess, the conversation was around replacing the current shipping method
with shipping by weight to zones. We are looking into API solutions with USPS
among others as our current system doesn't support adding zones.

Ah... Hi. Don't mean to be rude, but who are you and who is we? Do you work
for BrickLink?

Also, the concern here was that you all understand that the USPS uses weight
and location, not one or the other.

Ah, thank you for sharing the information...perhaps an administrator banner is
in order.

Jen

  I also hate to be a "party pooper" but Bricklink is still striking out on the
easy stuff.

Any update on tax exemptions that should have been available 6 months ago?

Hello akr2355, we are looking into the tax exemption issue, but will be prioritizing
the EU Marketplace facilitator rules and US state tax updates that are set to
go into effect July 1st.

so in an OPEN discussion forum, someone raises valid concerns and is threatened.

i hope this isn't a foretelling of how it's going to be from now on.

bricklink has done just fine for 20 years without this sort of policing and has
always been community driven. no need for these 'teams' that are not
chosen by the community.

it's not just buyers on here but people who have invested a lot of money
'slinging' bricks, some of which do it full time and these decisions
affect their families and their livelihood.

if you want to know what's best for the community just open discussion with
the them and they'll tell you, if you're actually willing to listen.
no need for some special 'teams'.

for anybody other than the 'community' to think they are the voice of
the community it's...well, it's just not good.

it's not ok to call out a panel member but it's ok to do so to a concerned
member of the community in the public forum instead of with a private pm? interesting.

personally, i'd be more than happy to give my input to help bricklink be
a better place. would i want to join one of their 'teams'? no, not really.
because bricklink was built by the community and any improvements should include
input from the entire community, not a select chosen few.

it takes a modular village to raise a brinklink.....

i'm not calling out any particular individual. i'm just making an observation
of what i see in the threads here that i'm not sure i appreciate.

just heard somewhere that my comments and input were really appreciated, and
it's a shame that any time folks have a comment that they have to feel worried
that they are going to get kicked off of bricklink. to me that doesn't really
make it feel like a community anymore.

  Dear All,

I really appreciate your comments and input, most of which are both kind and
valuable, thank you! The intention is to be transparent, however I kindly ask
that in the attempt to be so, you all stay on the ball! Calling out any individual
panel members in a negative context will not be tolerated.

Thank you for your understanding.

  Thank you Tanja for summarizing the new panel and a brief look at what transpired.
I know in the past that attempts like these have fallen flat, and disappointed
those that have been around much longer than I have.

I am excited about the life that TLG is breathing back into BL. I know it all
takes time and a metered approach is going to be the most beneficial long term.
I have appreciated this update as well as the catalog newsletter, and look forward
to other updates and ways we can help participate in this platform.

I have had personal conversations in the past, with a few of the panelists and
feel that some great choices were made for the first round.

Thank you VOTB I appreciate the input and your offer to participate!
