| | | You would have gotten the % based fee regardless, but the transaction fee of
30 cents (or pence), you're right, you'd pay that twice. You could invoice with
30 p added.

I agree. You have to charge a more for shipping sense the second order will increase
the weight so you can just add fee to that.
I wouldn't fret too much about it and I definitely would not make a big deal
of it with my customer. The $0.30 fee is just not really worth losing sleep over,
at least to me.
And as mentioned above in a previous post, I too never change the order status
until it is paid for and I have never had a problem with a customer paying. Have
you actually had customers complain that you dont have their order packed before
they pay?

| Just knowing that someone who received an email placed an order shortly there
after I think could help statistically to see if the emails actually help to
bring in customers. Especially if you start to see a pattern of shoppers who
just received an email now placing an order.
To me, just knowing that they placed an order after receiving an email would
be great.

| | | I could for example order 200 mini-figs of which only one lot shows the weight
and then pay the price of 2-3€ for shipment, whereas the seller will pay a multitude
of that.
|
One easy way around that is for BL to have all mini-figs that do not have the
weight verified yet to be given a generic weight (until the true weight is supplied).
Most mini-figs weigh close enough to the same that a generic weight should work
just fine. This would at least help with mini-figs which is a big percentage
of items with missing weights.

1/2 of 1% increase in fees paid by the sellers would mean about a 17% increase
in revenue for BrickLink which could be used to update the system and that would
only mean an increase of our fees by $0.05 for every $10.00 we sell - Well Worth
It to see the speed, security and overall experience improve dramatically.

I yield my opinion, my vote, and ANY stance I may have to Admin.
My suggestion is;
"A small fee to become a seller. This fee can be returned in a set time period
to the seller, or applied towards future fees"
"Probation period for NEW SELLERS with less then 10 selling feedback"
I suggest a ONE TIME FEE to standing sellers to put some money into a SEPERATE
ACCOUNT to help Admin pay for this service! He can buy some help and use that
fee to make bricklink a safer buying "LEGO HAVEN".
Take this idea and make it grow. DO NOT bash it. Improve upon it. But stop
talking about it and do something.
Have a nice night.

I vote Yes. I think it is a fine idea. The deposit would not have to be big
and burdensome. It could even be refunded if the seller never sells anything.
If he chooses to close his store before any sales then the deposit could be refunded
thru PayPal.
I think it could even help give the privilege of being able to sell on this site
a value, something worth the deposit.
To make it where the deposit is not a burden, the size of the deposit could also
relate to the maximum sale total of each order during that period. As an example,
if someone could only afford a small deposit of $10.00 then a cap of $25.00 total
(or something like that) for each order could temporarily be put in place. If
the person is willing to put a larger deposit down of, lets say, $50.00 then
the cap could be higher.
I have been selling on here for a little short of 3 months and have had a great
experience so far. I would not have minded putting down a deposit even as high
as a $100.00. In fact, I was quite surprised just how easy it was to be to
go from a being a buyer to also being a seller - with almost no restrictions.
As far as having to be retroactive, I don't think that would be necessary for
those who have proven themselves to already be trustworthy.
Just a thought.
