  Just a thought... this might not bother you as much if you only concerned yourself
about what your own margin is on the sets you sell instead of going by the 6
mo. average... which (for sets) is never a good idea in my opinion.

I mean, perhaps the seller just parted out the minifig and forgot to change the
condition from new, sealed to new, incomplete. Does he deserve our wrath, no.
A friendly reminder by a fellow brick linker, yes.

It's easy to get self righteous about things like this... but people make
mistakes... I'm assuming this seller is a human not a robot and it is human
to err.

Hi

I know a lot of work goes on behind the scenes with volunteer administrators
who do a damn good job with the catalogue and inventories.

Is it about time Bricklink appointed an (or more) administrator (s) to oversee
the selling side of Bricklink.

Bricklink would not exists without its revenue from sellers putting in time and
effort to sell and pay fees to Bricklink.

Surely it is only fair to sellers and buyers that items for sale conform to the
rules. If items are being mis-represented they should be removed or sellers given
the opportunity to amend their listing.

It would be nice if Bricklink appointed people to oversee the selling side of
the business. Sellers may then start conforming with their listings

is a tile modified?


A plate by definition has studs
A tile by definition is flat, no studs.

Surely a modified plate should have more studs than flat area and vice versa
for tiles

A lot of these type of items are split between tiles and modified plates

  Why are the Ninjago minifigures listed in Other?

Example
 
Minifig No: njo230  Name: Sky Pirate Foot Soldier with Scabbard
* 
njo230 (Inv) Sky Pirate Foot Soldier with Scabbard
Minifigures: NINJAGO: (Other)

Within BrickStock they are listed in both Ninjago and in (Other).

The title on the minifig says "Minifigs: Ninjago: (Other)"


Hi

According to the entry above , its in Ninjago - subset "Other"

Presumably its in other as its not from an actual set - but just a minifig set

Hi

It has been quite a while since I joined BrickLink, and for new members is there
any advice/info forwarded when joining (i.e ensure that you read the Sellers
Terms before Buying)

Just had a new member buy 1 part for 50p (UK), for delivery to Slovakia. Didn't
think he would buy once postage etc added.

Just had a message, thought it would be free postage.

Not a problem, as expecting it, but obviously he was not aware or made aware
of how Bricklink works.

Is such a thing in place or could it be added

Thanks

Hi all.

Suggestion ….

Feedback is not always left by the customer. Positive is left most times, and
a customer will always leave negative or neutral if there is something wrong.

One assumes that if nothing is heard from the customer, it must have been delivered
and was ok. Therefore - Can we have an automated positive feedback say after
2 months(or whatever length of time is felt suitable) of order being delivered
for all orders still showing as shipped. It could also be implemented if the
seller has not given feedback.

Thanks

Tracy

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
Tracy

  Hi Admin

Currently the shop set up has a main Name field which shows up in various places,
and a secondary field that only shows up in the shop.

Sellers have in the past, and still do add to their shop name when having a sale
or promotion.
Recently a shop did this and someone created a shop with their original name
as it wasn't taken (due to the member adding extra wording)

Would it be possible to have an extra field - that say you could put in up to
10 characters that could be added to the shop name to promote various sales without
the shop name changing

i.e.

In set up:-

Shop Name : THIS SHOP
Additional details : - SALE 40%

Combined shop name :- THIS SHOP - SALE 40%


Hope this makes sense

Hi
Nearly six months since this was suggested.
Any idea if it may be implemented

Thanks
