| | Hello!
I would like to formally ask for IDEAL as a payment method for the Dutch customer's
This payment method is long been the favorite for the majority in the Netherlands.
Currently there seems to be a limitation in Stripe to add this payment method
to instant checkout.
I did search on other topics related to this : but beside one I placed in the
wrong section;
the other topics are quite old.
So please do consider this small change in the stripe platform , it will be of
great benefit for all Dutch sellers and buyers a like.
It's a very safe , trusted, and recognizable payment platform that I'm
positive will also help with onsite instant checkouts (tax collection).
Kind regards

Hi there folks.
Its been a while and a bit.
But as of now, by the looks of it:
additional payment methods seem to be activated within stripe.
Please have a look in my store and see if there are these payment methods active:
IDEAL
GIROPAY
Also check out if these payment methods are widely active among bricklink stores.
By logging into stripe, search for payment methods or navigate to settingpayment
Here can you check and or turn on addional payment methods.
By the looks of it:
Thank you for opening this up bricklink.
Looking forward to hear from stores if these are widely active.
Kind regards
FamilyBuilds

so there is the warning from the percentage praise that the buyer should check
the feedback.

Absolutely.
If you wish to leave a really neutral feedback, simply don't leave feedback.
But Neutral isn't neutral - it's a blank vote.
Still, the whole FB system could be changed, see my proposal.

As mentioned before, it really comes down to what the percentage praise is for.
In my view, it is there to give a potential buyer a quick impression of how much
of the feedback is not positive and not as an ego rating.
If there are fives stores:
100 positive, 0 neutrals.
100 positive, 1 neutral.
100 positive, 5 neutrals.
100 positive, 10 neutrals.
100 positive, 50 neutrals.
Under the "neutrals shouldn't count" view, all these stores would
have 100 feedback at 100%. If a buyer buys from a store with 100% feedback they
would probably assume that there is no need to check the feedback as it is 100%.
I'd be annoyed if BL told me a seller was 100% yet had loads of non-positive
feedback that I should have been warned about. I'd prefer no percentage rating
at all, rather than a dodgy calculation that shows 100% in such circumstances.
At least with no percentage, there is no false impression that the store doesn't
have issues when in some cases there might be.
Obviously some sellers are unhappy because they think their store is damaged
by an unwarranted neutral feedback, but I really don't think that is the
case. The percentage praise is essentially a quick reminder to check feedback,
not necessarily to leave the store. And to me, it is better to have an effective
warning system for buyers to use when looking at a store rather than an ego protection
system for sellers. That is, I see neutrals as not good service rather than seeing
them as not terrible service.
Of the fictional stores above, I'd buy from the first two without checking
feedback. I'd check the feedback comments for the third and fourth, and would
disregard the fifth without looking. For the third and fourth, if the neutrals
were all from one buyer, or all for apparently stupid reasons, I'd ignore
them. If there was a consistent pattern such as badly damaged or missing parts
but eventually refunded, I'd treat them more seriously.

There’s the “Feedback” tab, next to Shop, Terms, and Splash. That’s exactly
where you’re led when you click just below the percentage.

Right now it's called "Praise", an odd description even under the
current system.

should act) as a warning to buyers to check feedback if it is not 100%. For example,
if a store has 90 positive and 10 neutrals, I think that it should be flagged
up to buyers that the seller is probably not as good as a second store with 90
positives and no neutrals. Both stores would have an overall score of 90 and
if neutrals are ignored when determining the percentage praise, then they would
both have a 100% rating. However, there is a clear difference between the stores.
Should buyers be warned to check feedback in such circumstances, or should it
be hidden in the way the rating is calculated, pretending that both stores have
the same customer feedback.

100% does not mean that buyers cannot or will not buy from a particular seller,
but the percentage praise is there to suggest to buyers that they check the feedback
if the feedback is not all positive. They can then judge whether it is important
to them.

That would be fine, if they wanted to show the percentage praise over the past
year or 6 months, or whatever instead of over all time. I'm strongly against
old negative or neutral feedback being ignored but allowing old positive feedback
to counteract against more recent negatives. All feedback needs to be treated
the same in terms of time, unlike what was suggested here.

This issue as been around for years and the users opinions are almost one sided.
I remember one debate were a very few sellers were opposed to a change, and they
all had in common, no neutral feedbacks in their record. Hopefully their opinions
would change once they would get one unwarrented neutral.
Bricklink, for an unknown reason, doesn't seems to want to move on this.
There's a ton of suggestion posts like this one. We also have now a group
of sellers that are consulted on ways to improve the website, and yet no news
of this been address. Did they address it and it was again ignored by Russell
and friends ?
It's just mindbuggling that it wasn't been address yet.

Because as it's the same system since 2000 (), everyone has the same kind
of notation, so it's fair (in the meaning it's the same for all).
The current system major dafault is differentiation.
What's a good shop? 99%
What's a bad shop? 94%
But what do newbies see when they enter a shop with 94% feedback?
Oh 94%, it's very close, those guys did their best.
Which is why I propose instead something (5 stars) where you could give 0, or
1 to 5 points.
That'll make differences between appreciations: a 40% shop will be obviously
less reliable than a 88% one.
Same for buyers; a buyers who pays super slowly may have a 60% FB, that'll
make a difference while right now ALL (non problematic) buyers are at 100%.
Apart this, removing Neutrals after some time, counting them for 0 or such, is
something sellers would appreciate, but it won't change anything apart
seller's pride maybe

Absolutely. Even eBay, a platform openly hostile to sellers, lets feedback fall
off after a year.

Yes, but no?
Neutral could've been implemented (by Dan) like a blank (or protest) vote.
This hasn't the same meaning than an abstention (giving no Feedback).
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protest_vote
Abstaining increases the proportion of votes for the most popular candidate
or party, while using a protest vote against the popular candidate or party can
shrink a margin of victory. Reducing the margin may result in a hung parliament
or a smaller difference between the parties in government, thus limiting the
chance a single party will have control over the system.
If Feedback system has this meaning, then Neutral diminishes a bit the "success"
of a Shop, while no feedback (abstention) doesn't.
Otherwise, Neutral wouldn't mean anything different than no Feedback.
So why would it have been implemented?
|
That is exactly what neutral is for, it’s just to say your are not upset, just
not happy.

Neutral could've been implemented (by Dan) like a blank (or protest) vote.
This hasn't the same meaning than an abstention (giving no Feedback).
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protest_vote
Abstaining increases the proportion of votes for the most popular candidate
or party, while using a protest vote against the popular candidate or party can
shrink a margin of victory. Reducing the margin may result in a hung parliament
or a smaller difference between the parties in government, thus limiting the
chance a single party will have control over the system.
If Feedback system has this meaning, then Neutral diminishes a bit the "success"
of a Shop, while no feedback (abstention) doesn't.
Otherwise, Neutral wouldn't mean anything different than no Feedback.
So why would it have been implemented?

Not by topic, by thread.
The terminology is different (and not consistent) between forums. Sometimes,
“topic” means ‘sub-forum’ (like here), sometimes it means “thread” (like on the
Studio forum).
Other forums allow to subscribe to a thread, or if there’s an answer to a particular
post (when someone used the ‘reply’ button of that post) or if you’re quoted.
Also, they mark posts as (un)read and allow to jump in a thread to the first
unread post. (Better than relying on the change of colour of the links by your
browser.)
The Studio forum always had problems with notifications because e-mails don’t
work there. But you can easily see when you’re quoted now (in the banner, no
need to look at all the new posts). And you could always see if there were new
posts in a sub-forum or topic.
That could be nice here too. But then, the BL forum works more like a newsgroup
/ mailing list than like a forum. And it has particularities that would be difficult
to port to other engines.

| IANAL(I Am Not A Lawyer) but I think when you become a credit card manager you
need to become a clearing house. The rules in the USA alone in the last few years
have gone crazy when it comes to clearing houses. They have increased scrutiny
for money laundering and terrorism. These rules come down through the IRS and
FDIC. The FDIC is concerned because more or cash is being stored in places
like PayPal and outside the oversight of registered and protected banking systems.
I just don't think it is in the lego groups interest to become a financial
institution when other companies like stripe and paypal are experts in their
fields.

Yes, you can order on "have quantity", and so you already have the parts

But it would be nice if you could easily order/group also the parts which are

- We'd have to have an exchange rate discount of 35% on Canadien posts.
- All sentences would have to end . . . EH?
- Pizza and Mustard would have to be banned subjects.

Actually us Canadians don’t usually talk about politics. But I like to for some
reason. We usually just ignore what the government does, even when taxes get
raised we just shrug and say too bad and hope for better. Whining about politics
just is something we don’t bother to do.

unless your parents happen to use facebook
|
Nope, no one in our family uses Facebook
We just talk with friends about politics instead

I enjoy discussing Politics. From a philosophical and also historical point of
view, mostly.
|
Same
| |
But I regret that so much people are so entrenched in whatever party / ideology
/ righteousness / whatever, that they just can't truly debate in a rational
manner.
As I see it, the final goal of a debate should be improvement, not victory. But
I've been proven wrong.
|
Well put
| |
It would help, as Marcus Aurelius put it, to view things we say as opinions,
not as facts; and everything we see as a perspective, not the truth.
|
Some individuals throughout our history burn notably brighter, Marcus Aurelius
was one. I've found a few bits of wisdom that are ascribed to the man, even
more salient today. I imagine when an individual possesses a fulsome understanding
of human nature, their candid thoughts and lessons travel forward through time
well, or seem timeless
Another one of his tenets: https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1432223
Also consider Stoic Tenets...
| | And Jonathan Haidt would add, that anyone who values truth should stop worshiping
begin right.
For which Wayne Dyer comes to mind, but I'll stop here.
Anyway. It won't happen.

Getting in a video with 100rds of thousands of subs, is amazing marketing.
If stores want to be found, outside BL actively they most likely are actively
marketing to be found outside of BL..
Also to give some perspective, one province here, fits inside of a state multiple
times, the population in it, can be placed in the bigger city's easy..
So this does make it relativly different and hard to compare
