If the seller refunds for the missing / damaged / wrong parts and shows proof
of it, then the NSS will be removed. However, the buyer might still leave negative
feedback. So the store can have a poor feedback score without being suspended.
|
I know but 3 NSS and you are suspended until it is resolved. Then you submit
proof and how long do you have to wait? One guy was waiting 3 weeks to reopen.
If they all did an NSS the bad stores would be gone more often.
|
I don't know how long you have to wait. I know we get reports here of people
waiting multiple weeks, but I don't know how common that is. Similarly I
don't know how many buyers go on to complete a NSS after they start one,
especially when there is evidence a parcel was delivered or money has been refunded.

| Author: | freo43 | | Posted: | Apr 24, 2024 01:22 | | Subject: | Include Counterparts when Part Out to list | | Viewed: | 18 times | | Topic: | Wanted | |
| I use the "Part Out" feature to create a wanted list with every part
in a set, then go through my collection and "find" all the parts until
I have enough to build it.
But the Counterparts (items with stickers or images on them already) never get
included in the list. So I have to go to the Bricklist set Inventory and add
them 1 by 1.
There is a tickbox in "part out" for "Extra parts" but not "Counterparts".
Often these parts have the same Part Number as the inventory but with a suffix
"pb001" or similar.
Is it possible to do what I'm wanting?

Also their responses. Everyone can make a mistake and there is no pleasing some
people, but if you are running a business you have to act professionally. And
if this is a just a hobby then you should still show some respect to people who
gave you their business, even if you aren't totally pleased. Screaming that
someone is a thief, and a scammer is not a good look for a seller, even if they
are. It makes me wonder if I have an issue how will they respond?
|
Well, since the OP is in the same state as the seller, they are lucky he didn't
drive to their house and shoot them dead, invoking the "scam panic defense."

457, why? Is that bad?
Kidding - only 11 including the store in question. I think maybe 6 of them were
from threads like this where a user was seeking advice on how to handle another
difficult user. I'll go dig around to see if I can help and in the process
if I end up seeing a plethora of negatives (like 10+ in a year) I'll stop
list them even though they're probably not an active buyer. My logic is
that while they might not buy from me, they may see their "members who have
stop listed me" numbers climb and realize they need to make some changes.
I check back every now and then and occasionally remove people who have made
improvements.
The others were added because I might have stumbled on them while reading other
people's feedbacks and their replies. Two of them are on there because they
don't know how to use the feedback system properly and I'm just trying
to protect my numbers. They gave over 20 feedbacks but may be 3 were positive
and the rest were neutral and negative.
The funny thing is, I was stop listed and put on ignore lists left and right
while asking basic questions back when I was setting up my store. Everybody
has their reasons I guess. I went from being on 5 to now just 2 so I assume
they were just curmudgeons.

I get it. Thanks for sharing.

Wait! Do straight buyer accounts even have access to the "My Images"

I let it sit in warm soapy water when I need to unglue my Lego; however, I only
have used it for my own stickers for mocs I took apart, so not sure how it would
work on a larger scale and with perhaps stronger glue than mine. Perhaps this
youtube video will help? https://youtube.com/watch?v=ZVaQ4M47QUI

| | I have filed a couple of complaints over the last 2 years that I filed with Bricklink
after trying to resolve the situation with the sellers over numerous weeks.
One issue was they shipped bootleg minifig parts and we even submitted clear
pictures of what was shipped. The second order with a different buyer, they
shipped minifigs with the wrong colored parts. I've lost a total of $65
over these two orders - both of which were gifts for my son. There's no
buyer support and no protection from scammers. This last guy had 12 complaints
in the last year for the same issues and Bricklink is doing NOTHING about it.
The guy is a jerk and I'm out the money. Anyone else having this trouble?

It's an abnormal/problematic shop.
https://www.bricklink.com/feedback.asp?u=luke93
Open NSS Alert.
Open PayPal Claim.
Report the shop:
https://www.bricklink.com/problemMember.asp
Then you can say:

Scary mindset. It's one thing that you champion such for you and yours, but
to advocate it more broadly is worrisome to those that are not of that somewhat
troublesome mindset. Evidenced by the (satirical) Starship Troopers movie
you invoke, meaning of which has apparently failed to permeate It's meant
to show the absurdity of that statement, iow.
|
I'm a fan of Heinlein, have MANY of his books, and I know how to read his
words at 2nd or 3rd level.
Otherwise, at 1st level it's pretty stupid, but that's what's genious
in how he writes.
And the Starship Troopers is a GOOD movie to represent this book.
At the 1st level, it's action and dumb - but then it's a far deeper movie
Apart this, OP member have difficulties, and the shop seems toxic.
NSS, Claim, Report - and he already gave the shop a Negative, which is pretty
brave.
Bravo!
