  Order notification worked for me until yesterday - both Instant checkout and

Today i've had the first IC order without notification.

I received notifications yesterday, but none for the order that was placed overnight,
both IC orders. I use outlook.com.

My understanding is that eCheck can happen when the buyer chooses to pay with
funds in their bank account, or the PayPal account doesn't have enough cash
in it.

So far after a couple of onsite payments both were normal, no eChecks. Had
eCheck's in the past from non-onsite payments. So unless there is some
other bug...it seems fine to me.

Converting this reply to the "Problem" topic.

IMO it does not make sense at all to use the "Paid" status if payment and order
status is separated. Whoever programmed this PayPal (Onsite) feature either was
not familiar with the separation (and its triggering the action items) or desperately
looked for a solution to block order additions after payment is done. An elegant
solution would be to block order additions if the payment status was set by the
system to "Complete" after payment, regardless of order status. But this
may have required more programming work.

I don't want to stir the pot too much, but some people have seen that onsite
payments result in people apparently paying with eCheck. If that bug (if it _is_
a bug) is still there, having the system flip the payment status to "complete"
would not be appropriate for those eCheck payments. In those cases it should
go to "clearing" or somesuch.

Maybe the developer knew this and explicitly avoided "complete" to force the
seller to decide it is complete. Just shooting in the dark here (as most of us
do when it comes to figuring out how new features are meant to work).

I would not set the order status from "Paid" to "Ready" as this opens the order
for additions. What happens if you set it to "Packed" instead?

  The wanted list information seems to display incorrectly for many sets - and

  Right-click on the blue BUY button on the top right and you will see the old
catalog page. For the set you mentioned, it looks like the image below. You can
see it is on 105 wanted lists. There are many glitches with the new page, but
fortunately this does not mean the back end is broken.

Hi Russell,

thanks for that hint - I wasn't aware of this workaround!

  Dear Admins,

as mentioned as a sidenote in this post already:
http://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=958268

The wanted list information seems to display incorrectly for many sets - and
for a while already. See this example:
 
Set No: 4000012  Name: Inside Tour (LIT) Exclusive 2012 Edition - Piper Airplane
* 
4000012-1 Inside Tour (LIT) Exclusive 2012 Edition - Piper Airplane
2012
Sets: LEGO Brand: LEGO Inside Tour
http://alpha.bricklink.com/pages/clone/catalogitem.page?S=4000012-1

This item is included in my wanted list (and very likely in a few others as well),
but this is not being displayed correctly - both the missing number in "My Wanted
List (1)" and the completely missing "On xx Wanted Lists" information seem to
be a technical issue here.

When browsing my own wanted lists, I see a correlation between this effect and
database entries without any price guide information and current listing for
sale - so maybe it's just a similar glitch like the "action item missing
on start page" issue where a certain condition was needed to display these correctly.

for a few parts, I see the ""On xx Wanted Lists" entry, but not the "(1)" in
"My Wanted List (1)" - see attached example images.
(Yes, all four of these items ARE included in a wanted list of mine!)

Please have a look into this.

Thanks!
Jan

I was wondering what all the fuss was about - then I looked on the part detail
page...

NO TABS at the bottom!

I thought it was a great idea to have the tabs there!

  Reported cs_china as a fraud account. If this were a legit account, it should

I agree and there are no announcements on the issue so this thread can be unlocked
by cs team later if it is genuine

Thanks all. What's odd is that sometimes a color key word works fine! Hopefully
BrickLink 2.0 will fix this.

  Hello, I've been searching for items based on the description listed in BrickLink
based on a list of previous searches I performed, but no results are being found!
For example, I search for "Metallic Gold Minifig, utensil Trophy Statuette"
and get nothing. However, if I search for part of the description (i.e. "Utensil
Trophy Statuette"), then I can usually find the items. I wish search was reliable
in searching for all words.

Also, some words that appear in the item description are not returning results
(i.e. I search for "Sand Red" and get nothing, but searching for "Gilderoy" shows
up with "Sand Red" in his description).

Finally, I'm getting used to your standard descriptions, but I think it would
help search if the items also used standard LEGO descriptions so we could cross-reference,
unless there was a legal reason you couldn't use LEGO descriptions.

Thanks,
Brian
