So I do agree that your proposal does provide better information, which if valid eliminates the one of secrets I mentioned.

Re: Block buyers with a different country email p - alahaka (645)

[...] I think your suggestion above opens the door toward couriers, which in turn for some buyers places courier, their packing, and their shipping responsibilities on sellers, [...]

Re: Block buyers with a different country email p - alahaka (645)

[...] Hi, I stated that associating emails with countries would be messy (i.e. I agree with you), and I was not supporting the original suggestion. But instead I wondered [...]

Minifig head graphics reduce visual info - alahaka (645)

Hi, I guess default photographs of Minifig Heads (specifically their expressions and facial features) are being replaced with graphics. I find the angled, turned-away [...]

Re: Save Offsite Paypal! - alahaka (645)

If you select PayPal Marketplace as picabo suggests, you will not be able to revert back to your current Onsite PayPal method. There was little information required to enable [...]

Re: Save Offsite Paypal! - alahaka (645)

So whatever simpler arrangement I had set up with BrickLink and PayPal -- onsite payment or instant payment or whatever it was called other than Instant Checkout -- is [...]

Re: Save Offsite Paypal! - alahaka (645)

I agree that flexible payment options should remain for both buyers and sellers with regard to BrickLink. This among other considerations allows for a community-driven village [...]

Re: New buyer LOE to tie up inventory for 14 days - alahaka (645)

Order Stats: 333 placed / 33 cancelled * * This seller had the audacity to use our very lengthy Non-Paying Buyer process we built to deal with non-paying buyers, in lieu of growing-in-popularity [...]

Re: New buyer LOE to tie up inventory for 14 days - alahaka (645)

I didn't know there was a cancelled order count. More "Look busy" corporateishness. I have no idea what on earth it is intended to tell buyers, given the many unknowns [...]

Re: Have all members pay BL $1 to buy and/or sell - alahaka (645)

I recognize there are problems with the idea. And I should have highlighted that it is a one-time payment idea, for life. I am looking for ideas to dissuade false buyers, and [...]

Have all members pay BL $1 to buy and/or sell - alahaka (645)

Seller checkout approval for <X new buyers - alahaka (645)

Whether X = 0 or some short optional range between say -3 and +3, I suggest that any seller be able to approve of new zero-or-low-feedback members before they are allowed to [...]

Re: New buyer LOE to tie up inventory for 14 days - alahaka (645)

I don't understand parts of your post. I guess in response I prefer not to play a waiting game on feedback, and instead prefer a timely, concrete resolution process, after [...]

Re: New buyer LOE to tie up inventory for 14 days - alahaka (645)

And a question (or questions) for a question (not addressed to you), why does BrickLink not address this decade-old concern? Is there a bona fide problem with [...]

Re: New buyer LOE to tie up inventory for 14 days - alahaka (645)

Your point is good. Given my low volume sales, customers' desires for low-cost shipping, and the somewhat byzantine world of postal rates, I prefer to manually provide an [...]

Re: New buyer LOE to tie up inventory for 14 days - alahaka (645)

New buyer LOE to tie up inventory for 14 days - alahaka (645)

Hi, The new buyer's level of effort required to tie up any given seller's inventory for 14 to 21 days still stands a very, very firm almost none. I get that irresponsible [...]
