It didn't do it for you on the old BrickLink so I am not sure how it is "WAY
more work." With the new "have" feature, which BrickLink is still fixing a few
bugs on, it's actually WAY easier to keep track of everything.

| My understanding is that eCheck can happen when the buyer chooses to pay with
funds in their bank account, or the PayPal account doesn't have enough cash
in it.
So far after a couple of onsite payments both were normal, no eChecks. Had
eCheck's in the past from non-onsite payments. So unless there is some
other bug...it seems fine to me.

IMO it does not make sense at all to use the "Paid" status if payment and order
status is separated. Whoever programmed this PayPal (Onsite) feature either was
not familiar with the separation (and its triggering the action items) or desperately
looked for a solution to block order additions after payment is done. An elegant
solution would be to block order additions if the payment status was set by the
system to "Complete" after payment, regardless of order status. But this
may have required more programming work.

I don't want to stir the pot too much, but some people have seen that onsite
payments result in people apparently paying with eCheck. If that bug (if it _is_
a bug) is still there, having the system flip the payment status to "complete"
would not be appropriate for those eCheck payments. In those cases it should
go to "clearing" or somesuch.
Maybe the developer knew this and explicitly avoided "complete" to force the
seller to decide it is complete. Just shooting in the dark here (as most of us
do when it comes to figuring out how new features are meant to work).

It seems like a bug.
I would not set the order status from "Paid" to "Ready" as this opens the order
for additions. What happens if you set it to "Packed" instead?

Hi Russell,
thanks for that hint - I wasn't aware of this workaround!

| | Dear Admins,
as mentioned as a sidenote in this post already:
http://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=958268
The wanted list information seems to display incorrectly for many sets - and
for a while already. See this example:
http://alpha.bricklink.com/pages/clone/catalogitem.page?S=4000012-1
This item is included in my wanted list (and very likely in a few others as well),
but this is not being displayed correctly - both the missing number in "My Wanted
List (1)" and the completely missing "On xx Wanted Lists" information seem to
be a technical issue here.
When browsing my own wanted lists, I see a correlation between this effect and
database entries without any price guide information and current listing for
sale - so maybe it's just a similar glitch like the "action item missing
on start page" issue where a certain condition was needed to display these correctly.
for a few parts, I see the ""On xx Wanted Lists" entry, but not the "(1)" in
"My Wanted List (1)" - see attached example images.
(Yes, all four of these items ARE included in a wanted list of mine!)
Please have a look into this.
Thanks!
Jan

page...
NO TABS at the bottom!
I thought it was a great idea to have the tabs there!

| | Hi BL community:
After careful and deliberate consideration, I honestly believe BrickLink needs
to establish a timeframe for shipping of an order from the date/time the order
was placed with a seller. The site seems to be moving in a "carte blanche" way
for sellers. Sellers who take weeks/months to ship orders should be banned quite
honestly. Those few sellers are NOT a GOOD commodity for this site. New buyers
just don't understand and experienced buyers like myself are becoming more
and more alarmed over these long long shipping practices by a few sellers. Sure
you can avoid them once you know who they are but why give any seller more than
seven business days to get an order in the mail???? I just don't get it.
What other company takes a month plus to ship an order????
So if BrickLink is not willing to establish shipping rules for sellers (seem
to have all kinds of rules in place for buyers concerning payments) then at least
allow a buyer to be able to cancel a contract if seller has NOT shipped within
seven business days. Personally I think seven business days is too long but
it is a start.
Yes I understand that some sellers here are hobbyists and do not run a store
as a business but it is strange that most if not all hobbyists send out their
orders within seven business days.
I am not suggesting at this time that we punish any seller for failing to ship
within seven business days, I am just giving the buyer the right to cancel an
order/contract if the order is not shipped within seven business days of payment.
Sellers under this new rule would not be able to state in their terms that shipping
time is longer than seven business days.
Thanks
TheBrickStore
