Maybe for more focused attention by both admin and membership alike, a new forum
Topic Charter may benefit the site? To concentrate reporting, solutions, announcements
etc. Unlike most other topics, this one really benefits from expedited awareness.

So structured, black hats may also benefit I suppose?

I don't know, it's just a thought while weeding through the forum for
the newest happenings and concerns with this seemingly ongoing matter.

You too apparently?

You're asking for BrickLink to implement a solution.

I told you there's already one existing for years which's free, work
like a charm and in a couple of clicks

Just do it your way, no problem really.

something and there's an easier way to accomplish what I want to do?

I'm bringing back old suggestions that should have been implemented years

results of this one?

Just FYI, I like every week remove full lists from my shop using BrickStore,
it takes a couple of clicks:
* open your WL
* import Shop
* shop minus WL
* mass update your Shop to BrickLink.

Thanks, but i've never used BrickStore. I'm making the point that BL
should have had this functionality years ago. Why not?

Because they have other priorities?

Maybe they also know you can do it in a few clicks, so they may wish (or have
to) to concentrate on something different or more important?

BL's no. one priority should be marketing and developing the site for buyers
and sellers. This is a simple and obvious one that should be implemented. Making
excuses for BL - they're much too busy - they have so many other things to
do - is not something we as part of the BL community should do. If we pay to
use a service, we should expect it to get better and improve all the time. You
are apologizing for BL for what? Are you being paid to do this? If not, why argue
against making small improvements to the website you use every day?

Actually, please don't answer, you're probably much to busy - I wouldn't
want to bother you.

  It would be great if I could make purchases from my own store, in a ghost mode
that doesn't allow for feedback and doesn't charge fees.

Often when I'm restoring a batch of used sets, I have a wanted list for each
one of them to figure out what I'm missing. Then, once I go through my unlisted
bulk LEGO, I find that have parts in my store that I need to complete these sets.
The only way I can figure to get those parts is to use the inventory search tool
to select items on my wanted list, pull them from my drawers, and then adjust
my inventory quantities appropriately for each item.

The color guide is very cool and useful. I would find it even more useful if
the user could select the starting date (or ending date, perhaps). That way,
I could better understand how many parts are available in different colors *now*
(or in the last 5 years, or last 10 years, etc.). If making it selectable is
difficult, even just a single other option (say, going back 10 years from the
present) would be useful. Thanks for considering.

I'd like to write remarks about items in My Collection, particularly to specify
which parts are missing from a "Used, Incomplete" minifig, and to identify
third-party parts. Wanted Lists already have this feature, but serve a different
purpose.

Sounds like solid and simple solution, except for as others have mentioned; the
whole newbie needing help, factor.

Spam has never really bothered me here in the forum, you just kinda roll past
it. But it would be a good thing to keep it away. How about restricting the ability
to use links within posts for zero feedback members, or something along those
lines?

Voted No. I'd rather deal with a little spam than not help new users with
questions. Bricklink is not the easiest site to use, especially if you're
new.

Yes. Just report and they quickly vanish if you auto hide cancelled posts. People
that feel the need to reply to them are a bigger problem, so they get added to
the ignore list.

This. There are plenty of new buyers who need help before their first sale, but
there are MANY, MANY more potential future buyers who come just to ask questions
about LEGO.

If limited to those with feedback it will turn away many users why are looking

I agree somewhat but see an issue where new buyers with questions are blocked
by this.

A solution might be a captcha (only for your first post) or account activation
per email.

Currently, if Store A has 90 positives and 10 neutrals and Store B has 90 positives
and 10 negatives, the feedback percentage is the same for both. This is misleading.

What is misleading about it? They both have 10 non positive feedback out of 100,
so there is the warning from the percentage praise that the buyer should check
the feedback.

It is misleading because the neutrals are treated the same as the negatives and
they are not the same.

They aren't being treated as the same. A store with 90 positives and 10 neutrals
has a score of 90 with a percentage praise of 90%. A store with 90 positives
and 10 negatives has a score of 80 with a percentage praise of 90%. Both have
10 non-positive feedback, hence the percentage praise acting as warning to a
buyer to check why this is by looking at the feedback.


  
  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.

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%.

Bad assumption. A buyer should always check the feedback page.

  I'd prefer no percentage rating
at all, rather than a dodgy calculation that shows 100% in such circumstances.

The calculation is dodgy now.

  At least with no percentage, there is no false impression that the store doesn't
have issues when in some cases there might be.

The current calculation gives a false impression that performance is worse than
it is.

It doesn't though. It tells a potential buyer how many (as a percentage)
buyers that leave feedback leave the store positive feedback.

  
  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.

All well and good, but you cannot treat a neutral as a stand in for a negative,
which is what is being done now. Go ahead buyer, leave neutral feedback because
the transaction didn't warrant a negative, but we're going to tally it
up as a negative anyway.

It isn't treating a neutral as a negative. It is treating them both as not
positive.

As said in PM with FamilyBuild, you CAN define new and other payment methods
in Stripe (I tried) - like Alipay or Apple Pay, IDEAL, but as BrickLink only
requests/authorize VISA payments, those other payment methods are simply ignored
here.

Currently, if Store A has 90 positives and 10 neutrals and Store B has 90 positives
and 10 negatives, the feedback percentage is the same for both. This is misleading.

What is misleading about it? They both have 10 non positive feedback out of 100,
so there is the warning from the percentage praise that the buyer should check
the feedback.

It is misleading because the neutrals are treated the same as the negatives and
they are not the same.


  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.

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%.

Bad assumption. A buyer should always check the feedback page.

  I'd prefer no percentage rating
at all, rather than a dodgy calculation that shows 100% in such circumstances.

The calculation is dodgy now.

  At least with no percentage, there is no false impression that the store doesn't
have issues when in some cases there might be.

The current calculation gives a false impression that performance is worse than
it is.

  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.

All well and good, but you cannot treat a neutral as a stand in for a negative,
which is what is being done now. Go ahead buyer, leave neutral feedback because
the transaction didn't warrant a negative, but we're going to tally it
up as a negative anyway.

  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
  payment methods.

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

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.

all feedback sorted by type and nothing is hidden.

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.

Again, that would be fine but they also then need to change what the percentage
is called and probably also decide what the current percentage praise is being
shown for.

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

  Neutral is not praise, but it is still feedback. The percentage praise acts (or
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.

Currently, if Store A has 90 positives and 10 neutrals and Store B has 90 positives
and 10 negatives, the feedback percentage is the same for both. This is misleading.

  I also think it is important to remember that an imperfect score of less than
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.

Adding something like "Click to see feedback" under the feedback percentage
is sorely needed. I discovered the click-through accidentally. You are then shown

Sliding window where *all* feeeback older than the window falls off. Ebay does

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.

   Also, neutral feedbacks dinging the feedback percentage also needs to be
done away with. A neutral shouldn't count for or against a store's feedback
percentage.

Neutral feedback to fall off of the percentage calculation after 500 orders or

Negative feedback to fall off of the percentage calculation after 1000 orders

I picked 500 and 1000 because they are substantial numbers

There should be room for redemption.

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.

I don't know if anyone escapes unscathed?

up countless times and nothing changes.

I would very much like to hear an admin’s take on why this hasn’t changed.


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

  Unfortunately, unless you get the buyer to rescind the feedback you will be stuck
with it forever. There are sellers here with neutral feedback from 15 years ago

I would very much like to hear an admin’s take on why this hasn’t changed. And
disappointing if they see the need, but don’t make the change. I’m on a mission
now!

Vote YES here and on the other link! Comment voted so we know there’s support.
Admins may not be seeing the visual support per se.

Honestly, I just learned you can vote so I’m spreading the word!!!!!

There should be room for redemption.

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

It won't help with your present situation. But if you agree in principle
then vote in the affirmative for that principle, and perhaps for any potential
'neutrals' heading your way like undetected asteroids

Ultimately, do that which you feel is right.

Apart this, I 100% agree the whole FB posting and counting could be changed.

I proposed a 5 stars vote system, like for many on line shops or marketplaces.
https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1328064

(of course 5 stars + 1 text, as of right now)

Half of users are too lazy to leave feedback, five stars may help.🤔 Or they
just will still think it’s too hard to leave 5 little stars

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.

I picked 500 and 1000 because they are substantial numbers

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.

How do you do that?

On it's face, an excellent and hard to argue against idea. How would/should
it be implemented is where its met resistance when brought up here in the
past.

You've got my up-vote, nonetheless.

Even being aware of the merges and seeing the list from the first big batch,
I was caught up in a lot of frustration from unexpected consequences and subsequent
merges that didn't receive the same level of attention.

Bookmark the thread.

How do you do that?

With all the catalog merges going on, it's unreasonable to expect BL members
to have to monitor hundreds of unrelated posts to know when significant changes
occur. I understand why BL wouldn't want to push notifications to every member
for these changes but allowing us to opt in to discussions that matter to us
would provide an significant and immediate benefit to everyone.

After 10 years here on Bricklink I may have been a late adopter, but I don't
ever want a printout (business card, sticker, or any advertisements) with my
order.

All my orders get a simple 1/2" x 2" sticker on the plastic bag with
a hand written order number for reference.

  Hi,

I would appreciate if you could feature the "pay with card" on the fee
page:

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

as prominent as the Painpal-Button. Since you use Stripe I guess there is a Stripe-Button
available somewhere. Actually if would be awesome if you could get rid off Painpal
altogether

Thanks,

No BL, don't get rid of paypal. It works just fine.

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.

wastes time renaming and re-inventoring hundreds of sets.)(in other words sounds
like a government “make work project”)

You can download your wantlists and send the file.

How do I do that? I cannot seems to figure it out.

Click on said wanted list then choose download

I feel any neutral mark given, should be just that, carry no effect. Just

Voted yes!

Thank you for taking part in the process. For the up-vote too

I suggest an option where you can order the wanted list on "missing parts".

Yes, you can order on "have quantity", and so you already have the parts
with quantity 0 easily selected.

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

Kind regards,
Gert

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.

  
  
We just talk with friends about politics instead

i just spend my time following the latest bluray releases hoping my favorite
shows will finally get a release that's the only news I keep
up with

Ooo sounds like fun, let me know in a pm if chicken run 2 dawn of the golden
nugget gets released.

  the cross border makes a going discussion mostly useless for a lot of users

Depending upon your perspective, such a discussion could actually be a very useful
learning opportunity.

For example, I know nothing about Dutch politics. Please enlighten me.


We could talk Canadien Politics but
- 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.
