Hello,

I was wondering if a feature or timer, to see whether a BrickLink
member is active or has been active (like on FB messenger or WhatsApp), would
be a great idea.

What exactly can be considered as active, logged in or not?

The reason why I'm wondering:
I'm sure there are members who logs in daily to see if another
member has reacted to their order('s invoice)/message, and are nervously
waiting until he/she/they react(s).

Be patient.

It will also be handy to see if a member (who placed an order on your store)
is active on BL and isn't responding to your multiple messages (or just ignoring),
and easier to decide to cancel an order.

If the buyer doesn't respond you should start the NPB-process and complete
it before canceling the order.

For example (my example):
There is a member (USA) who has placed an order on my store (Belgium) a few days
ago. I instantly filled in and sent the invoice to serve him and be able to send
the parcel (after payment) as quickly as possible. But until now, two days later,
he hasn't read the message nor has paid for the order. Now I'm just wondering
if he was active or not lately... cause the hole situation is making me nervous.
I know I should be patient... but I find it kind of weird he responded very quickly
to my last call for buying, and afterwards not responding anymore.

So if you recognize yourself in such a situation, maybe vote 'YES' and
perhaps selling on BL will be more pleasant and more serious. I'm sure there
is a lot of members thinking this way, isn't it?

Kindly greetings,

Yapke

Yes, we used to have the ability to see when a buyer had last logged on. This
feature was just removed last month due to 'privacy' issues. It's
unfortunate as it was a valuable tool for sellers. Hopefully, they find a way
to restore it soon.

From 1/1-2020 it is no longer possible to ship goods internationally in a letter
by PostNL. There has been a lot about this in this forum.

Professional dealers can still ship at a special rate using the online system.

But this online system requires filling in fields ´very strictly´ so street,
number, extra number, region, city, postcode.

We used to copypaste BL adresses, annd expected the local post to make the right
interpretation. But this is no longer possible.

Especially Asian adresses (S.Korea,Taiwan,Japan, China, Hong Kong) now gives
some questions, because it is not allways clear ´what is what´. Japanese addresses
come in the opposite order, sometimes there is as name or number, appartment
names and numbers that can be mixed up with a streetname, and there is the problem
that numbers come before streetnames on the label- streetnumbers are printed
AFTER the streetname. In many adresses it looks that things are mentioned twice,
but possible name of city and region are the same.

More postal administrations will adopt this new system thatis required by UPU,
(countries like USA will no longer accept and may even destroy shipments without
'prior notice of content', that's what postNL tells us) so this problem
would grow in the future.

In fact this requires a new way to display adresses ( "WITH LABEL") on brickink
to avoid `wrong` or incomplete adresses to be used.

Even more important because the lines on this label is limited and unneccesary
information pushes out important information from the line.

+1

It's good for two reasons - first to avoid mistakes as you describe, and
secondly, sellers automate the process in their own software, either with the
API or with CSV/Excel uploads. I want to do that too, but my software will only
be able to generate the right data if it in fact is told what is what. It saves
a significant amount of time doing it automated, but without clear fields, the
only way to do it is manually as it requires human common sense..

I'm sure it would be useful for more sellers than just the Dutch ones.

Yes I fully agree with this. And the importance of this will grow with the further
worldwide introduction of this electronic 'exchange' of shipping details.
So I hope we will get some more support to make some changes in the way Bricklink
displays the addresses. Fixed fields for all addres components is the best way
to achieve this.

But for some forum junkies, people just read the announcement and ask their question(s).

Well the high number of views against each post and the number of subsequent
comments would suggest they are being read and whilst some people are repeating
certain stuff from the FAQ including myself to a certain degree I think its just
because people are looking for a litttle more elaboration on what's previously

Please don't. I've dealt with 2FA supporting medical and financial software
for years. It's a pain to set up, and the training curve with too many users
is a vertical wall. I've yet to see a 2FA provider who doesn't have outages
every few weeks, and your phone is NOT secure. For what is a retail operation,
over complicated processes and ticked off customers lead to less of a retail
operation. Add in the expense of doing this internationally, and you will see

Use paypal, tie it to your credit card. That will give you security for your

I support the idea of proper 2FA. Messages to a phone or mobile device (via SMS

IMO, its designed to be a 2FA solution that avoids all the problems of using
phones as a 2FA solution. And its open and well documented (and AFAIK designed
to be easy for sites to implement)
It can (if implement correctly) even help stop phishing attacks (where someone

As I go through updating my postage for the USPS rate increase in effect on Monday,
I'm reminded that we still don't have the ability to use zone pricing
based on zip codes for shipping. We all use the same zone groupings, so we would
just need a chart set up like we do for international shipping, but with the
9 zone fields. I end up overcharging and giving refunds if the amount is excessive.

As I said, it’s more difficult than just what script kiddies do nowadays, but
it’s only a 1k$ investment to intercept SMS remotely because the SMS protocole
is not secure. It might even already cost less.
And a malware that can intercept the SMS on the phone costs even less but you
need to put it on the phone but that is not that difficult.

So, again, yes, 2FA adds hurdles but the SMS hurdles are lower than you think
they are.

(I should know better than to argue with you - you always spin it around so you
are not wrong.)

What did I spin?

In the local attack case, adding something to the same device that already has/knows
everything doesn’t add security, just a warm and dangerous feeling of security.
In the remote attack case, the SMS protocole is not secure and intercepting an
SMS locally or remotely is possible.

Once again, I never claimed 2FA isn’t worthy of interest, I said “please, no
SMS-2FA” and “beware having everything on the same device.”

I would love to see you, being in France, with any "1k$ investment" intercepting
a cell TXT message sent from BrickLink to my Canadian cell phone.

I’m not a criminal but I know what they are capable of.
Search for SS7, SMS and 2FA and you’ll know too.
Or keep believing in rainbow-producing unicorns.

It’s a valid point made by member agulus, that has unfortunately been ongoing
as an issue, in the face of contrary input towards the feedback policy.

I’ve brought it up in the past, that a neutral should be just that, neutral,
and not effect your feedback percentage number displayed, up or down.

Beyond the obvious reasons, is the fact that there are many newish buyers that
mistakenly see BL’s neutral, as neutral. Silly people

No, you don't understand. In the case OP described, the HAVE is implemented
by a TXT message to a registered cell phone number.

- The site registers a login with username/password (the KNOW);
- It sends a TXT message to a registered cell number (the HAVE);
- User needs to type that TXT message in a separate box on the login page.

You (as a hacker) won't be able to see that TXT message because you don't
HAVE that cell phone, so you can't type that message in, and hence you can't
complete the authentication process.

2FA is also referred to "something you know, and something you have". 2FA is
not meant to make sure it is you that is using your phone. Rather, it is meant
to do a second check after "someone" logged in (and used the "something you know")
by making sure that person also clears the "something you have" hurdle.

Saying 2FA implementations are generally flawed because they don't check
you are using the same device makes no sense. It is not meant to do that check.

It is meant to prevent "SylvainLS" in France to log into account "qwertyboy".
Good luck doing that if 2FA sends my Canadian phone a txt.

Obviously the idea behind 2FA is that you're NOT using the same device.

Yeah, that’s the idea but unfortunately, that’s not the common practice.

Apparently it is not YOUR practice. Don't generalize what you don't know.

Apparently nothing, because it’s not my practice.

I’m talking about what I see people do while you’re assuming your case is the
general one.

I
personally never use the same device. Also, besides SMS there are authentication
apps which are secured by a pincode. In general, 2FA is regarded as the standard
safe login method today whereas 1FA is considered not safe enough anymore. Hence
the suggestion.

I understand the suggestion. I’m just pointing one pitfall.

“Regarded” is the problem here: people feel confident when in reality the implementation
is generally flawed.
How many websites check you’re not using the same device?
None, because it can’t be done.

2FA is not meant to be 100% safe,

Nothing is 100% safe, that’s not my point.
My point is things being presented as safer than they are.

just SAFER than 1FA. You do not have to use
it if you don't want to. But, if the passwords were stolen, they can login
with 1FA but not with 2FA.

Except that, if they have your phone number, — and they will get it when they
get your passwords —, they can intercept your SMS.
Granted, it demands a little bit more investment than what script kiddies are
used to _now_, but SMS-2FA is less safe than other 2FAs.

And what one-device 2FAs do is actually replace a KNOW, your login+password,
with a HAVE, your device, because the device already KNOWS everything.

Even if you have just one device only, as you have Sylvain

that in worst scenario there were problems with order but
it was easy to work on the issue with seller but the buyer
is not 100% satisfied because he/she got only a refund not the part
he/she needed. I wouldn't mind to get a neutral in those
situations if this feedback wouldn't change the percentage.

Sometimes I buy parts on BL and I always look at feedback.
It gives you a lot of information about the seller.

In an ideal world if the feedback system was worded a little differently we'd
see a more meaningful feedback system perhaps where sellers could actually get
better recognition when they go above and beyond the norm! i.e If it was worded
something like this:-

Please rate this transaction:-

Bad - (Problems with the transaction)
Good - (Smooth transaction)
Outstanding - (Seller went beyond expectations!)

Imagine you have two sellers with 500 feedback where one has 492 Good and 8 Outstanding
the other has 425 Good and 75 Outstanding this would give a whole new meaning
to the feedback system and how we see sellers overall rather than the somewhat
redundant Neutral which seems to be seen as a minor negative!

How many new users rate the postal system not the order. This is also a flaw.
Especially if the seller doesn't accurately say when the package was shipped.

Good point!

What a novel idea. I like it. A seller can better work at negating the effects
of mistakes or unjust feedback

But if you let the buyer know when the goods were or will be shipped most buyers
will be understanding and take that into consideration. Sometimes you may be
penalised because of the fault of the courier but as sellers we are all in the
same boat and if you nearly always ship same day or next business day this in
the long term will be reflected overall in your feedback rating whereas if a
seller usually ships within 3-4 days it stands to reason that their rating might
not be so good for instance an 'Outstanding' rating might be given where
a buyer pays for their order right at the end of the day 4-5pm and is surprised
and overwhelmed to get their goods next day therefore they might decide leave
an oustanding instead of Good.

To clarify: with the current 1FA if Bricklink accounts were stolen all accounts
can be logged on to, with 2FA that can't.

Obviously the idea behind 2FA is that you're NOT using the same device.

Yeah, that’s the idea but unfortunately, that’s not the common practice.

Apparently it is not YOUR practice. Don't generalize what you don't know.

2FA is not meant to be 100% safe, just SAFER than 1FA. You do not have to use
it if you don't want to. But, if the passwords were stolen, they can login
with 1FA but not with 2FA.

Even if you have just one device only, as you have Sylvain
