| | Twice today I spent time making LARGE orders (two different vendors) for about
$30 or so USD+. The first had a shipping box size restriction I didn't see
until I was checking out and the seller did not respond to a query for a 'bypass'
in time to be useful. I bought what I wanted on Amazon instead. It will be
here day after tomorrow! Just now I put together another order of over 150 items,
spent 20 min, only to learn it had a ^%#^*^ LOT average of a dollar, and again,
I was required to ask for a bypass. Screw that. I don't have the time for
this nit-noid nonsense. So here's the suggestion: Price your stuff for
what you want and either make the restriction clear on the main page or can the
restrictions. As for me, I'm head for e-bay where I am sure I can get what
I want and where any restrictions are clear.

Sorry to hear that. Certain stores have their reasons for their restrictions
and terms, and your frustration and anger are valid but hopefully short-lived.
We have just one rule: Spend a dollar.
Spend a dollar, and I'll figure out the rest.
I hope you find a store that meets your needs.

| | I would really like to see a new parameter for lots that limits the amount a
buyer can buy of a certain part in any one order. The part would then turn up
in search results and in store inventory showing not more than the value specified.
It's something that many online stores use, notably also LEGO themselves.
So far the way to do this is to offer the desired max amount, put in remarks
how much is left, and put the item on retain. This has several drawbacks, most
of all:
- You have to manually reoffer and modify the remarks all the time
- You cannot see or accurately modify the price and other stats of your inventory
because part of the amount of what you have is hidden in remarks
This could all be solved by 1 simple extra field, that is left on 0 when unused.
Of course, the item should not appear updated for users that still have an order
that has not yet reached the packed status. Of course buyers can buy again after
that, but separate shipping and handling fees should be sufficient to bar the
effect of buyers blowing sudden holes in your inventory.

While I understand the concept of this request, I have a simple question: What
is the virtue of this feature? What makes it good?
Isn't the intended effect of offering products for sale that customers buy
them? Shouldn't the primary goal be to offer the customer what they need?
And if they need all the items in a certain lot, shouldn't we allow them
the delight in purchasing them?
There may be a specific need in your store for always keeping a certain amount
of items in a lot set aside, but I am at a loss to understand why. In an effort
to solve one problem in your store, you may indeed be creating another.

| Howdy -- Since you brought it up (and I supported the idea, by the way),
I send out notifications on a semi-weekly to bi-weekly schedule (depending on
the speed of my partouts).
How many notifications on average per week have you gotten from stores? What
would be a suitable frequency?

Can you implement the search filter for email notifications?
For example, can I limit wanted item notifications to stores in my own region
or country?

Same way here. I like to make sure everything's on the up-and-up before sending
"free" pieces through the mail.
