So I tried to print out a first class international label today. According to
my charts, pulled from the USPS website, the UK is in zone 5, and so a small
package should be $14.49 (commercial rate). Paypal had it as $15.44. So I cancelled
the label, and contacted Paypal to say their zone chart was wrong. They responded
that the rates are set by the USPS, not Paypal. So I tried to print out a label
through the USPS (a pain since I have to copy all the information for the buyer
address). Lo and behold, the rate they were charging me was the retail amount
for zone 9, or $16.25! So even though their chart says the UK is in zone 5,
why did it come out as zone 9??? No, I haven't contacted USPS, since I am
sure it will be a while until I get an answer from them. Just wondered if anyone
else came across this?

Lisa at Brick Dungeon

Yes, I noticed the UK switched zones (and to the $15.44 rate) earlier this year.
I found a chart somewhere that said they were now in Price Group 20 which looks
to be made up just for them.

Thanks, Jen! Good to know I am not crazy! (well, at least not in this instance)

As a seller, it doesn't matter to me if the numbers are in bold (showing

since I don't think it is paid until I check Paypal to make
sure it is in my account. (or received the check in the mail or whatever).
Like Scrooge, I don't ship until I have the 'cash in hand', so I
should be the only one to mark it paid. (or the Paypal link, that is fine too,
just not the buyer).

Lisa at Brick Dungeon

Regardless of weather this suggestion is accepted- there is a function that you
can use now in order to 'uncheck' and undo the buyer's action of
marking the payment as sent:
-Go here: https://www.bricklink.com/orderSettings.asp
-Check this box: Separate order payment status from order status
-Then go back to your current orders, the payment status will be separated from
from the status.
-Change the payment status from 'sent' to none
- voila, your order and payment status are reset and you can send an invoice
and the 'paid' box that the buyer checked falsely will be unchecked.

Big thanks to Brickwilbo who thought us this valuable feature which we use daily.

Taught lol

Thank you! I did not know of this feature either. Hey, I learned something today!

I'm pretty sure that's a bug.. buyers can't change the order status
to paid, only sellers or onsite payment can.

Why is there even the option for a buyer to mark the order paid?
As a seller, it doesn't matter to me if the numbers are in bold (showing
'paid'

So.. are you talking about the order status, or about the grand total showing
in bold because the buyer submitted the payment? You'd want to remove the
latter just because you don't need it?

Well, I need it.. not everyone
works with PayPal. If buyers send me bank transfers, I need to see that so that
I can ship their order or verify the payment. It's a pretty important feature
to me.

Well, drats. I guess that isn't the solution either. But I have checked my
Paypal account, and there is NO payment from the buyer. And yet, since he marked
it paid, everything is grayed out and I cannot add a shipping amount or send
an invoice! Frustrating!! Okay, so a better solution may be that BrickLink does
NOT gray out the options!!

I have seen this topic discussed on a few Lego Facebook Groups as well.

You can isolate parts with stickers from the search results by adding sticker*
to your search terms (to find only parts with stickers) or -sticker* (to filter
out parts with stickers)

You can also use goatleg.com as a shortcut

Yes, I use the above method as I am sure many others do as well. But the crazy
organizing gene in me thinks they should be in different categories.

So I
vote for splitting out not only tiles that are stickered and printed, but ALL
decorated parts into stickered parts, and printed parts.

Whenever I am looking up a stickered part in the catalog to identify, I then
look at past and current sales of this part. So my pet peeve is this: how can
a stickered part possibly be listed as 'new'?? Just by the fact that
you took the sticker off the sheet and attached it to the part makes it, by definition,
USED! It doesn't matter if you never used this part to build the set, it
is still used! Is there any way we can disable the 'new' button when
listing these types of parts?

Lisa

I have made this argument regarding boxes listed as new to no avail. I finally
gave up and listed most of my used boxes as new just like most sellers do.

Agreed. A box cannot be new if it has been opened! Now, if you have a sealed
box and you have magically transported the contents out of the box without opening
it, then I would make an exception and it can be listed as 'new'.

Funny thing, I had this set sitting here for a while. Long ago, I took inventory,

my 'old Pat Pend' brick pile. Then months later (today), I decided to
build it. Noticed I was short a brick, went to the pile and retrieved the brick!
Thankfully I hadn't sold it or lost it or something!

It is necessary if you are trying to save on shipping fees, especially for a

Why not be able to filter even further, and have it by city, or even by county,

Yes, the buyer can mark the payment as 'Sent: payment is on it's way.'
http://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=121
Payment is 'Sent', not paid, until the seller marks the payment as 'Completed'.

What? I receive an onsite payment, and the order is marked paid automatically
by Bricklink. The only solution so far is to add an entire new column to my order
page, that is useless to me, and as far as I can tell, not seen by buyers anyway.
I'm only asking for an added order status of Payment Pending that blocks
order additions, so I can keep my orders page easy to use, and make it easy for
buyers to check the status of their order that was paid with an Echeck.

Darren

Darren's concern is real. It is an issue that should be addressed. More for
as Darren stated; for the buyer's ability see and understand clearly what
their order status is, as it concerns echecks and shipping wait-times.

Marc's also correct if you separate the the two, when the buyer pays via
onsite, it sets the payment status to "Received" I can then change the status,
as a seller to "Completed" if there's no echeck, or "Clearing" if you wish,
as I have it set-up now and using Chrome. However, as a buyer my view of the
order payment status is not as nuanced.

But I've also noticed different order status options using other browsers,
so I'm always a little uncertain of any given buyer's view of order status,
given the variables such as how they've set-up their page, which browser
they're using, etc.

As it is now, I simply ship the order (if under $100) in lieu of waiting on echeck
clearance, to avoid buyer issues. Because like I said: The buyer is often not
aware of their PayPal payment status. As it stands now, if the order value is
high enough to be out of the comfort zone, I'll send an message via the order
page, informing the buyer of the wait time and letting PP absorb some of the
buyers disappointment, as they should, IMO.

-Cory

The problem with this, is that Paypal will not release the address so that you
can easily print a label, before clearance. Have I sent before clearing? Absolutely,
when it is a known customer that I have shipped to previously. However, when
it is a new customer, I would rather wait until clearance just so everything
is documented, including the address from Paypal, so I am 'covered' by
their seller protection.

it is too many steps to go from one to the other.

Am I making any sense with both of these?

Hover over MyBL then click on View Profile. Is that the page you were looking
for albeit a little different?

Please do not allow an order to auto-update to "paid" when a member pays via
on-site payment with an e-check. The order is not paid for yet, the buyer has
only initiated payment.

This particular case lifted a NPB, but the buyer has not paid. Now, if the e-check
bounces, I will have to start the NPB all over again.

Again, when people pay via an e-check, via paypal, using on-site payment, the
system automatically marks the order as paid.

Please fix this bug.

If someone has no credit and no debit/credit card linked to their account only
a bank account, then there is basically a delay whilst paypal waits for the money
from the bank, they won't give you it until it clears so it can take a while.

I've only had it on one small order before and someone else said paypal onsite
was trying to send an e cheque until they noticed and stopped it.

I'm not sure if you can setup a paypal account to not accept e cheque at
all?

I don't mind accepting e-checks, nothing against this form of payment.

The problem is Bricklink saying an order is paid and removing a NPB when that
is not the case.

I agree with Ken. The order is not actually paid until the funds are in my account.
Also, Paypal does not provide you with the customer's address until the funds
are cleared. And if you print labels through Paypal, then you must wait. So perhaps
there needs to be another status in the drop down menu. Perhaps 'Payment
on hold' is too long....maybe "Escrow"?

Along with the other suggestion I made to Admin of this in the drop down: "Leave
Order Open". I get annoyed when it says I have orders pending on my "My BrickLink"
page, when the customer has asked me to leave the order open. I don't want
to set it to "Processing" so the only other option is to leave it at "Pending".
But that makes it look as if I have not acknowledged the customer or order at
all, and that isn't the case.

Admin: please add these two options to Order Status!

Thank you,

This has probably been suggested before, but just in case it hasn't:

I would like the addition of "Leave Open" as a selection for the order status
pull-down menu. That way, when a buyer has asked me to leave the order open,
I can select that. None of the other selections seem right, and then I keep trying
to process it when I have selected 'processing' or 'pending',
and I don't want that. 'Ready' isn't correct, since I only want
to select that when I have the other pulled and invoiced.

Thanks, Admin!

Just keep it 'Pending'.

Nope. To me, 'pending' means that I haven't looked at it yet. Then
I keep forgetting which orders I have that are pending are really ones that should
be "leave open". I guess I could always add a note to the order which would show
up on my order page so it sets it apart from the other pending orders.

Lisa

I use the grey color on my shipping settings to designate "leave orders open"
from regular pending orders. But I would prefer a separate status

http://alpha.bricklink.com/pages/clone/pref_shipping_method.page

-Ruth

That's a good way, too. However, both of our methods are unseen by the buyer
(aren't they?) and I really would like that option in the pull-down menu
instead, so the buyer knows I have acknowledged his/her wishes to leave it open.

Light Bluish Gray Hero Factory Shield Type 1 with Fist Facing Left and Black and Yellow Danger Stripes Pattern (Stickers) - Set 7157

Hello,
The item you are adding is already listed in this set. (The one with the Right
facing sticker.) The item with the Left facing sticker has yet to be added to
the catalog. Do you by chance have this item in hand and can upload an image
of it?

Thank you!
Jen

Hi Jen,

Yes! I do have it in hand and also have a photo of it. I tried to upload it,
but kept getting an error message. It may have been on my end, because I read
that it didn't need to be in the catalog yet in order to add the photo. But
since it wasn't in the catalog yet, I didn't know what I should call
this part. Should it be 87820pb05?

Good morning,
I was wondering if the Auction feature was simply turned off or commented out,
and if so would current administration be willing to re-enable it.

Auctions don't make a lot of money for the site, but it's often 'extra' money.
Auction lots tend to be items that can't be sold as regular lots or won't move
well like that. So an auction makes the seller money and the site too, and in
both cases more quickly than otherwise would have happened.

If the feature is re-enabled, consider that a test as to whether the feature
makes any sense for the new BL 2.0 site. Maybe we really don't need auctions-
but I think they are useful.

Thanks for your time.

Think it had more to do with the fight with eBay that then changed the site name
to BrickLink and got rid of auctions.

When I joined the site, there were auctions and it had been changed to brinklink
for many years..
I really remember it was for currency reasons

Could have been currency issues- yet that seems to be solved for the rest of
the site.
I don't know, that's why I posted the Suggestion.

Related- would y'all like to see auctions on the new 2.0 site? Or not?

My vote: YES! I think auctions are the perfect place for those one-of-a-kind
items, like misprints. Also, when there are other items that are rare or have
very little price history on BrickLink, an auction is a nice way to determine
what the market will bear.
