That's a good idea. I always wondered why that function wasn't built
into the search before.

  There is practically nothing productive being added to BrickLink.

Since when has the BL forum ever been the place to add something productive?
That's that the Catalog is for.

While I can agree with the main contents of this thread I thinkl this has the
potential to cause harm, particularly for the new buyers we are trying to get
here.
All it takes is a couple of succesful " sales " to scammers, as they will show
at the top of the page as cheapest item, and we get a lot of heat.

Just wanted to point out that you have replied to an 8 month old thread. In
the time since this thread was posted, Google has been allowed to crawl the site,
and BrickLink now shows up on the first page of results for a search of "Lego
10179". It takes you right to the catalog page, which is where I believe it
should take you.

Now they just have to do some optimizing to move BrickLink up the list a bit.

  Yeah, you got it !
I can see 6 buyers logging in after invoicing them a week or more before and
no one of them read my Messages - and not only newbies !

A lot of people have BL e-mails send automaticly to their inbox, and read the
message from there. Why would they read them again

  
Being harsh would result in NPB procedure and risk of negatve Feedback ( including
senseless work )

But that's how the system works, and if the buyer pays, why would he leave
negative over it and if he doesn't pay, completing the NPB will give you
the right to have any negative removed.
And you can invoice before picking the order

  
The automatic reminder for a Minute or 2 ( for example after logging in ) will
stop
excuses like "I didn't read email" !

Well, like I said above, some people read offline and execute their payment from
there, why add additional banners that will only confuse buyers more. If they
lack reading their messages, well they will also simply ignore other things to
read and it won't change a thing wether they pay or not, regardless wether
you send 1 or 10 reminders, if they decided not to pay, well then you move to
NPB, that's what it serves for and does give a red banner, simple as that.

Always send them reminders.

The problem with some HUGH feedback buyers is they think they are so speciaal
, that would not give the new Sellers a nice feeling...

Steekstra

It has nothing to do with NPB, the OP wants it BEFORE one opens an NPB, like
** all the time **.

And it has also nothing to do with buyers who might think they are special and
also nothing to do with new sellers. This has to do with a notification a buyer
has an unpaid order...

We don't need that, as the 'my bricklink' page overview already tells
you that
and if the buyer doesn't pay, then he'll get a red banner when he is
in NPB status, so no need for an extra banner BEFORE that.



Hello

Sorry for confusing you all !
My Intention has been completely misunderstood - what i wanted is !

After 1 week and lets say at least 2 reminders i want a less harsh method than
NPB !
It would be the last step before NPB procedure and not an immediate affect after
buying !

Hope this got clear now !

So like, automatic reminders instead of the seller manually sending the reminder?

Well, maybe, but totally pointless and an NPB is not harsh, it already serves
'alerting' the buyer he has an unpaid order

http://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=72&q=npb

So no need for extra banners...

Besides, a lot of people have asked in the past to speed up the NPB process,
you actually wanna delay it some more

Still NO, the system works fine the way it is now.

And in the long run there will be no need either, as the site will need to move
towards an auto-payment on checkout, so whenever PP is involved as payment method,
there will be no more NPB's on those (might still be there for other payment
methods).
