  Please implement an OPTION to allow members to have the highest and lowest prices
removed when calculating Price Guide averages for any items with ten or more
Price Guide entries. The purpose of this suggestion is to prevent most extreme
pricing anomalies from corrupting and distorting Price Guide averages - averages
which many sellers use to price their goods and decide which sets to purchase
and part out.

Removing these extreme data points is a long proven statistical tool for improving
the accuracy of averaging.

This suggestion is offered in conjunction with or as an alternative to the currently
pending suggestion to incorporate median prices in the Price Guide. Personally,
I don't care which of these two suggestions are implemented. I just hope at least
one of them is implemented soon. Whatever is easiest and best in Admin's opinion.

  After paying monthly fees, the printed version of the receipt has no date or

Please include such field somewhere in the form.
I can write on the paper but I don't thing is a valid form to use for tax purpose.
Thank you.

A new month and I don't see for what month and year I have paid.
I think is not hard to make this addition.
If I have to prove I made a payment on 11/15/11 to BrickLink I can't.

The IRS let you use whatever bookeeping system you want to for your business,
as long as it's accurate. Dated receipts aren't always necessary. Since I pay
my Bricklink fees payment with PayPal and I download my Paypal account monthly,
I don't feel like I'll have any problem matching amounts to prove I paid for
my fees. You could download your Paypal statement and just save it in digital
format until you need to print and use as proof of payment.

HTH,
Donna

Donna,
I know I have some alternatives, but I still keep some papers and if I forget
to write on my receipt I have to search a lot to find the date.
When I didn't use the PayPal link from my page I had all the info I needed on
a single paper page.

  Implementing a 3 days filing for NPB will be a nice feature.
7 days was good when people used Money Orders, Personal Checks or even cash.
For those who still use them , marking as payment when place the order give the
seller option to wait more.
Why the seller must be penalized for someone who is just playing games?
The 7 days waiting for finalizing the NPB(canceling the order) is again a penalty
for sellers.
The worst part here is the buyer responds to NPB filling but without any intention
to pay for the order and the waiting time for cancellation is doubled to 2 weeks.

This issue will never be resolved until BL has a method for a seller to restrict
orders to immediate payment only, and BL has the linkages to PP and GCO (and
other payment services) to do direct order to payment service API flow thru.
Until that is implemented (assuming if ever) BL will be stuck with the eBay model
from 1999.

Your suggestion is a good one, but fiddling with the NPB timing will not solve
it. The only thing that will solve this is making an order not being real unless
the buyer sends payment at the same time.

The suggestion was just to shorten the time for filling and after, not to change
everything.
I had few instances when the buyers didn't know what to do.
One believed that checking the PayPal box means payment made.
She would have been happy if I contacted her few days earlier because
I don't do anything before 7 days had passed.
There is no need to file a NPB if there is communication between seller and buyer.
The model you are talking about was changed to 4 days each.
