| It looks like the payment method is set default to PayPal.
There's no option for the seller to change this.
This will cause at least more domestic orders with PayPal as payment method.
I'm sure most sellers (and even buyers) are not happy with this.
I would prefer to be able to choose the default payment method myself(as a seller).
Just like the shipping methods, default for
- all buyers
- domestic buyers
- international buyers
Or even better, for both shipping method ánd payment method:
- all
- domestic
- EU
- International outside EU
But this is asked for many times already during the past years.
Since Bricklink does make the difference between EU and non-EU with VAT, it
also
should be possible for these methods.
As long as it is not possible for a seller to choose the default payment method
for at least domestic and international buyers, I would prefer Bricklink to
remove
this default for all buyers.

Several of these signs work as a warning. For example, the visible Note on member
icon informed me that I made a note about that member, which I should read before
even thinking
about ordering. In most cases, a note is not a good sign. They warn me about
bad experiences in the past. They are one of the few tools I have to protect
myself. The same is true for the Least Favourite stores. Not having these signs
available as warning signals does make me feel LESS SAFE as a buyer.
The number of orders in store (including link to non-purged orders) and the most
favourite help me to evaluate past experiences with this seller. In most cases,
it helps to build confidence, making me feel safer as a buyer.
Having the coupon visible before checkout usually makes me buy more, in order
to gain maximal benefits of that coupon. It stimulates sales. In most cases that
is one of the reasons why the coupon was issued in the first place. It makes
me feel good about the seller, and the seller gets a better order.
Buying and selling over long distance requires a lot of confidence between buyer
and seller. Having these features directly available (NOT hidden) is a great
tool to help build that confidence. Hiding them reduces confidence.

I checked and it seems that you see a thumbs up / down for most / least favorite
store.
Coupons, previous orders, notes are not visible.

* Change {17 to 16} Part White 3001old Brick 2 x 4 without Cross Supports
Comments from Submitter:
I've just obtained this set in virtually new condition. There are only 16 of this piece. One is in the large elephant and 15 in the white stand where the gorilla is. See pages 2 and 5 of the instructions. Based on the positions of this piece in the gorilla stand as shown in the instructions, this part of the model physically can only be built with a maximum 15 of this piece.

Hi,
I bought this set, boxed and with all parts present and in shiney condition,
about 8 years ago. I also build the whole set back then and after that I checked
the BL inventory. My set really has 17 white bricks 3001old. I still remember
I had some problems building that stand with gorilla's, so I tried again.
The building instruction is very difficult at this point, it doesn't show
all steps and it doesn't show all bricks. You really need other pictures
on the box to get it done, and even then ...
I tried and I tried and I tried for over half an hour to build a solid stand
with only 15 2x4 bricks, but it doesn't work for me. Did you actually build
the stand / set?
Imo the set inventory is correct. Another note: There are several other building
idea's in the Instruction / on the box that you also have to be able to build
with the bricks inside (instead of the Zoo that is). Please also keep that in
mind when checking an Inventory.
Kind regards,
Diana

Hi Diana,
Thank you for your reply. Yes I built the set and like you I had a hard time
with the stand. I have the box and the other models do not use anything near
16 or 17 3001old white bricks. The pictures of the zoo on the box lid and the
underside of the lid don't help either.
The first two images below are from the instructions.
In the first picture, the brick(s) holding up number 11 are hidden. Also, a 3001old
is most likely under the brick marked 'A', binding it by 2 or
4 studs to brick 9.
In the second picture, a stud can be seen that is behind brick 2. I think this
is a 3001old sitting directly behind brick 2, which would offer 4 studs of support
to brick 11.
The third picture is the model taking my suggestions from the first two pictures.
There are 13 3001old bricks in this model, with only enough room for 2 more.
The fourth picture is the model with a total of 15 3001old bricks. The fifth
picture is a slight variation on picture 4. The last two pictures provide a good
degree of stability to the stand.
Please let me know what you think Diana and please advise how you built the stand
with 16 3001old bricks!
Kind regards,
Robert

Hi Robert,
Thanks for all your trouble. I promiss I will check again with the help of your
images. Please just give me some time for that. Although the set is still in
my Living room I am very busy with my store at the moment. But again, I promiss
to get back on this. The large box on my dinner table will remind me, LOL
Kind regards,
Diana

* Delete 1 Part x127c31 Black String with End Studs 31L Overall (Extra)
Comments from Submitter:
I Parted out 6 sets. None of them had an extra string. Sokolean must have made a mistake, or his one set had an extra string by accident.
Diana

My set had an extra string, also, and I am on a different continent. Therefore,
I do not think it is a fluke. Also, this part has appeared many times as an extra
since 2013. See the bottom of http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemIn.asp?P=x127c31&in=S
Cheers,

Well, the change request is rejected. All 6 sets I had didn't have an extra
string though. So I am 100% a lot of sellers listed to many strings parting out
these sets, like I had.
Diana

This is why there is an option during partout to *not include* extras. The extras
section is for items whose presence is variable. If sellers do not wish to check
their extras manually, they should not include extras during the partout process,
plain and simple. It is an exchange of convenience for slightly less profit.
And by the way, retaining extras in the inventory that are found to not be in
every copy has been the policy of the site ever since the extras feature was
implemented, so it shouldn't come as a surprise.
Russell

I know of this option and understand the meaning of it, but so far it didn't
give any problems. All sets I ever checked and / or parted out had the very same
extra parts.
This is the first set in my hands that is different from the BL-inventory.
But when this is how it works, so be it.
Good luck for all the sellers who can't deliver ordered strings.
Diana
