What may be missing here, is something that displays more recent real world
performance than feedback. Right now we are entering tracking information
(for US sellers shipping to US, presumably other countries do likewise). That
tracking will easily show when the package was accepted, and when it was delivered.
That information, when combined with when the order was placed, could paint a
very real picture of the seller's performance. Digging thru Terms/Policies
to see what to expect for a full round trip is fine and well and good,
but being able to display actual performance would show a more clear picture
about what is happening.

You can download your inventory and add the MYCOST tag field to the XML file
generated and upload that file to the update form.
It can be easier done using the software BrickStore.

Hi Stellar
Thanks for your answer. I download my inventory as XML in BL, then I add the
COST column, but what are the steps I have to do in Brickstore?
Regards
Dirk
|
You can fill the cost of each item or select how many you want and spread the
total cost by price or weight. After filling everything you want select all and
go to File - Export - Mass-Update and be sure to copy the details to the bottom
box in the page that opens.

My experience with amyfol wasn't terrible, though. I checked their feedback,
I saw all of the complaints about slow shipping, and I decided to take the risk.
A few weeks later, my order arrived just fine.

I can understand why this kind of behavior might be illegal, but I fail to see
how it is damaging to the reputation of the site. I have ordered from Kentuckiana
Bricks several times. Yes, their shipping is slow. But other than that, everything
was fine. Besides, amyfol does not extort positive feedback from buyers. They
have hundreds of negatives and neutrals.

If he is right, then it means BL is showing favoritism to large stores and turning
a blind eye to their bad behavior. If he wrong, he is publicly making a false
accusation.
I don't see how either of those scenarios presents a healthy outlook for
the future of BrickLink.

I don't see how suspending one of the largest BrickLink stores in the world
presents a healthy outlook for the future of BrickLink.
The way I read Russell's statement, it sounds like the BrickLink administration
was finally forced to suspend Kentuckiana Bricks (amyfol) for legal/tax reasons.
I'm pretty sure there are other (usually large) BrickLink stores that are
registered in a different country than where they physically keep their inventory.
For example, the message has since been purged but, Kuboteka once claimed that
they kept their inventory in Russia despite being registered in Lithuania.
That claim was made before February 2022, so it may not be true anymore.
Anyway, this kind of behavior may not have been illegal per se in the past, but
now it might be problematic due to new marketplace regulations.

Every lot has a price on it, when it was originally created. If you are asking
about changing prices, yes that can be done via an XML file.
Otherwise help me to understand what you're asking.

Hi Nita,
I once uploaded my inventory to Bricklink. I did not take into account to mention
my purchase price. I would now like to add this.
So I can do this per article, but that is very time consuming.
So I thought there must be a system that can do this faster.

You have feedback for order 20607046, and that was placed on 25 November 2022.
So that one is only just over a year ago. Did you have any others just after
that one that would have been missed in the Dec 4th/5th billing cycle?
The fees page should give you a breakdown.

There are only 11 BL stores in India, for a population of over a billion... Doesn't
seems there's even a Lego market there. Sadly Lego is expensive, and poorer
regions in the world have been ignored by Lego in the past.
