I suggested something similar but more strict - ignore works both ways like it
does at one site. You ignore someone and you won't be able to read that person
posts - but that person ALSO can't read any of yours.
|
Yes, I am familiar with this. The problem I see is that by completely ignoring
someone, you cannot read anything positive, constructive or helpful they may
post to others. Nor can you read anything they propose that may affect your business.
If the problem is that two members cannot communicate in a civil manner, simply
remove their ability to communicate only with each other.

That's point of ignore function, remove posts you don't want to read.
My suggestion just makes that person cannot read yours either.
|
I understand Rolf. But ignoring a poster hides ALL posts from that poster, even
the good non-offensive ones. Most people who are ignored do not always write
inappropriate posts. In fact, most of their posts are fine. Wouldn't you
still want to read those?

Let me see if I understand this... if a good discussion starts up and one of
the parties involved with some of the flame wars start posting on that thread
then that would mean the other could not post a comment on that thread at all?
If so, what about then losing out on the good comments of the other person which
is what you dont want to happen, correct?
I agree with others that the people with problems with each other should not
be able to see the posts of the other person. It would probably be best if that
was done by admin and not done simply by a choice being made by one of the problem
persons, this way no flame wars would even be able to start.
As far as losing out on the value of other good posts when you said "The problem
I see is that by completely ignoring someone, you cannot read anything positive,
constructive or helpful they may post to others". I really dont see that as being
much of a possibility considering the feelings both parties have toward one another
and besides, would not the community at large be better off by not seeing any
flame wars erupt at all by doing away with the ability of warring parties not
being able to see any posts by others they have an ongoing war with?
I do not mention all of this because I think that your posts are the ones that
cause the problems by being inflammatory, actually, just the opposite. When a
flame war starts between you and someone else I always find that your posts are
more often based on reason and not on emotions. But regardless who is to blame,
if you cannot see their posts and they cannot see yours then that is a small
price to pay for the good of the community.

Excellent suggestion. Not sure that they will do that, BL resists any attempt
to show the full amount charged for an invoice before the order is submitted.

I dont think BL "resists" showing the full amount charged it is just in the programing
and that makes it sound like BL dosent care which is untrue.
But anyway, I agree, the suggestions are spot on and hopefully they will include
them in near future.

| | I suggested this in the past with little to no response but I would like to be
able to have a different minimum order threshold settings for domestic and international
orders. Personally I'm tired of having small value orders that have high
shipping rates eat into my paypal limit. Even the cheapest international shipping
price isn't so cheap anymore. If I get bashed for being a cheapskate so
be it, but I'd like to get everybody else's input on this too.
|
One way to help make up for the cost of shipping on smaller orders is to charge
a fee for all international orders under a certain amount. We charge $1.25 off
all domestic orders under $5.00 and the same charge for all international orders
under $10.00.

| | | 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?

| 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.
