  Thank you. This is one example of many. The most common example I have seen is
where a buyer claims someone hacked into their PayPal and/or BrickLink account
and is making purchases and spending their money without their authorization.
In such cases, the buyer would obviously benefit if BrickLink at least temporarily
made it impossible for the hacker to continue using the buyer's card or account.
If a card or account has been hacked and is being illegally used without the
owner's authorization, we should not have to wait for multiple claims or
further criminal acts before taking preventive action.

What benefit is there for the hacker under your scenario? If he places an order
using a hacked BL account and then hacks the persons PayPal account to pay for
it then wont the order just go the persons address that was hacked? Not that
would be good in any way, but I just don't see this actually happening unless
the hacker has the order sent to his address which I don't think he would
because this would give a direct link to him.

What am I missing?

  But if BL tomorrow decided to delete the Suggestions topic, and posted "Hey,
all! We decided that it's better to just not let you think you have any influence
over the direction the company takes anymore." Well... that would be much much
worse.


Not to mention that most of the people who would agree to remove it would probably
also be the same ones who would then complain the loudest that it is no longer
there.

Your right. I was being an idiot and obviously did not read it close enough to
see that he was taking about HIS COST that he paid for each part.

Ummm, never mind.





































Jim, an idiot.

The way I accomplish close to the same thing you are looking for is quite simple...

I like to have all our parts in our store to be between 23% and 29% off the 6
month sales average depending on the type of part (such as, more off for wedge
plates and less for bricks) so I just choose the setting to automatically set
the price at the 6 month sales average. Then I go into my inventory and put the
different categories of parts up on sale for the 23% to 29% off.

I have my inventory marked to save all my listings after they are sold out so
that when I part out new sets I dont have to re-apply the sales off percentage
- the only exception is when adding new parts or new part colors which only means
going into my inventory once in a while to reset the percentages off.

If there are certain individual parts I want at less or more then I only need
to set that percentage off once.

The added benefit is that my inventory always reflects the changing 6 month sales
average.

If nothing else, this is a good work around in the interim.

  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?

Jim.
