| | | I almost feel tempted to mess with these people a bit by following the link,
then entering "BIGSC" as the username and "AMMER" as the password.
Maybe even submitting random jumbles of letters, numbers, and quotation symbols
as both the username and password.

I did a few yesterday with fake details. They instantly ask you for the OTP once
you have entered the account details, so presumably they are not being read by
a human but just automatically scraped and submitted to bricklink to generate
the OTP passcode request to be sent to your email, which the scammed user is
then meant to give to the scammer through their website.

This is because most quotes don't result in a sale, which is a waste of the
seller's time.
|
66% of quotes I provide are accepted. I like this system and I don't think
it is a waste of time. I think that is because the buyer actually fills out a
cart.
|
I think my post was vague. I've had quotes enable in my shop since the beginning.
I even have a link in my terms to the BL help page for how to request a shipping
quote.
My own conversion rate is about 1/3, mostly because international buyers are
shocked a the shipping cost.

I found something similar.
When I was shipping internationally, most quotes were not accepted but I believe
that was mainly because (1) most domestic customers should not need to ask for
a quote as the shipping prices should have been clear from terms (or later, from
IC) so I got few domestic quote requests and (2) the high shipping prices for
lowish value international orders were nearly always rejected.
Once I stopped shipping internationally, I didn't get many quote requests
as domestic shipping was nearly always already calculated though IC so there
should not be any reason to ask for a quote. I can understand asking for a quote
when IC did not calculate shipping for larger sets or very heavy orders. But
I really don't know why some buyers were still asking for quotes when IC
would have calculated it for their prospective order. Nearly all the of the few
I received on such prospective orders did not actually lead to an order once
I entered the same postage costs as IC would have told the buyer. I can only
assume they were hoping that I would give them a lower price than what was being
shown to them through the checkout.

Unless anyone can suggest a way I would raise this in the Suggestions forum so
people can vote. Not sure if it makes a difference or not
|
I don't think it makes a difference. The ability to set your own default
settings for searches (whether on want lists or catalogue searches) has been
suggested many times before.

You have some very good points here. The whole communication architecture on
BrickLink is definitely in need of some upgrades. They may want to start looking
into it sooner rather than later.
For example, every transaction I have on eBay has everything done through the
eBay platform. There is never any communication outside of the platform between
myself and anyone that I purchase something from. In that way, the user on the
other end remains completely anonymous. It would be a good model to look into.
|
That is partly so they can monitor communication and partly (probably mostly)
to stop deals being done outside of eBay. Anonymity is just a by-product. Here,
any businesses selling on ebay (or elsewhere) are required to have their identity
and address shown before a buyer decides to buy.

Can this part be renamed to say "Minifigure Backpack/Bag Open" instead
of "Minifigure Backpack Open"? Thanks!
|
Add the word “sack” to that.
