| Hi
Probably a lot of us have been guilty of this, adding an item to your inventory
and forgetting the decimal point, or putting it in the wrong place, thereby creating
an abnormal price.
Is it possible when entering a price for new or used, to flag if the price entered
is say more than xx% of the average prices already on file. Still giving you
the option to enter that price, but just warning that this price is abnormal
Thanks

Discussed and proposed many times before, but still no sign of implementing something
like this.... Focus was on other points I guess. Something with Stud.IO and a

| Sales are nice thing, right? Scoring a bulk load of 1x1 plates you so desperately
need for a long overdue project helps you move on!
When 70% of the sales announcements concern shops that do NOT ship to you, the
nice efforts turn into an ever growing deception....
So here's my suggestion: have a SALE announcement link to the shipping terms
of the store so there will be ONLY announcement visible that actually DO ship
to your country.
Ever working on a more pleasant environment.

| | I know of an ex-car dealer who was bored with his job and quit but continued
to buy and sell used cars as an individual for a couple of years (then he was
re-hired as a “seller extraordinary” because he was that good). He knew the
rules pretty well and limited himself to less than (I think it’s) ten cars a
year. Buy a used car, keep it a few weeks, sell the car. He managed to make
a hefty profit. All legal, and not as a pro.
|
Is that a business? Or someone who loves to have another car every few weeks
and makes money along the way?
Has he become a business by doing so?
The main issue here is how to differentiate between the seller, selling of his
or hers overstock with the intention to get rid of it and the seller purchasing
and reselling parts/sets etc with the intention to generate profit with it

| Spot on.
On uploading used parts, I always check for my self: "Would I be happy to receive
this?" Whenever the anser is NO, the part goes into the bin, unless it's
a rare piece. In that case, I try to describe as detailed as possible the condition
of the part.
Maintaining high standards for oneself prevents in most cases selling crappy
parts.

| These rules you refer to, apply to commercial business only as far as I can follow
it through. So this might only be applied to those.
As all sellers and buyers alike we are expected to operate within the law.
So either we should implement ALL laws from ALL countries BL has members from,
or there's a general rule that we all stick to the local laws from the country
the seller is based in. No need to add some specific rules and leave others out.
It's either ALL or NOTHING....

| In replying to forum posts, the standard system setting is to quote the post
you are replying to. This generates LARGE texts that one has to scroll through
to get the additional post made by the poster.
Please set this standard to OFF:
- makes the forumposts cleaner
- readingspeed increases
- mouses/PGDWN-keys will last longer due to less scrolling
- less data storage needed on servers

Overhaul of the NSS/NRS system required.
Regarding recent posts of blocked shops due to a cummulation of three (!) NSS's
over the last few years (!!), this system needs an overhaul.
1) NSS / NSR are in effect NO longer than a fixed time; for instance 6 months
2) users can ALWAYS review their scores on ALL the codes (NSS/NRS/NPB/OCR/etc....)
availabe for classifying orders (the data must be in the database.
Short post, needs more work, I know. Please add when wanted....... or when you
miss stuff.
If there IS a way to check your scores, please post it here AND (@ADMIN/@TECHSTAFF),
add it to the MyBrickLink page PLEASE.

Than you must not vote no to this idea. Your NO is pointed at the incorrect additions
to the inventory. Only correct (checked, double checked, triple checked, whatever-ple
checked!) additions qualify for points. So that needs to be ruled out.
Errors in additions might also result in deduction of points.

| Interesting distinction between sellers and buyers, but ANY member can contribute.
So as a buyer doesn't have to pay BL fee's indeed, they might be up for
a generic store coupon on redeeming points. This coupon should be redeemable
at ANY store.

I think a points system would work well, different weightings for different things
you do to the catalogue, points = money off your fee's.

Agreed, didn't work that out as there are many ways to do this. Indeed there
has to be a weight factor and time factor to earn points that you can redeem
as fee discounts or coupons at specific stores. Hey, that just sounds like
a membership programm!!

Apparently the rule is:
if you can't read the feedback right, we can't be bothered when are being

We as sellers and buyers do our best to help new members getting familiar here
at BL and at the same time, they are easy prey for scavengers.
The feedback system is fine, reading is required, decisions are made by individuals
to buy stuff. But the system that provides these bad sellers needs to be addressed
