| | Hi BL community:
After careful and deliberate consideration, I honestly believe BrickLink needs
to establish a timeframe for shipping of an order from the date/time the order
was placed with a seller. The site seems to be moving in a "carte blanche" way
for sellers. Sellers who take weeks/months to ship orders should be banned quite
honestly. Those few sellers are NOT a GOOD commodity for this site. New buyers
just don't understand and experienced buyers like myself are becoming more
and more alarmed over these long long shipping practices by a few sellers. Sure
you can avoid them once you know who they are but why give any seller more than
seven business days to get an order in the mail???? I just don't get it.
What other company takes a month plus to ship an order????
So if BrickLink is not willing to establish shipping rules for sellers (seem
to have all kinds of rules in place for buyers concerning payments) then at least
allow a buyer to be able to cancel a contract if seller has NOT shipped within
seven business days. Personally I think seven business days is too long but
it is a start.
Yes I understand that some sellers here are hobbyists and do not run a store
as a business but it is strange that most if not all hobbyists send out their
orders within seven business days.
I am not suggesting at this time that we punish any seller for failing to ship
within seven business days, I am just giving the buyer the right to cancel an
order/contract if the order is not shipped within seven business days of payment.
Sellers under this new rule would not be able to state in their terms that shipping
time is longer than seven business days.
Thanks

If a buyer's shopping your store and places an item in their cart, you could
double the price on it while they're still shopping, but when they check out,
it will be the same price as when they placed it in their cart. Placing an item
in a cart "locks in" the price. Of course, if a buyer closes their browser,
empties their cart or something like that, then when they come back, the price
will be different.
Now let's say a buyer places half of a lot (5 out of 10 pieces) in their
cart, and while shopping, you change the price on that piece. If that buyer
decides that the 5 in their cart isn't enough and they want all 10, but the last
5 are placed in their cart after you changed the price...then gosh, I'm
really not sure what happens then. I think Bricklink self destructs or something.
Anyone out there know?

I was afraid to test this when I had the chance -- I was buying some minifig
torsos, and found multiples of the one I wanted for 60 cents. I put 20 of them
in my cart. Before buying, I later figured I might as well buy them out, as I
could resell at nearly twice the price, when I found that the seller HAD doubled
the price. (Maybe accidentally listed at their cost?). I wasn't sure weather
I would lose the deal on the 20 that I already had, so I just checked out without
adding any more.
