| Good evening,
very rarely there are differences about how much a shipping could cost, especially
when stores use the TBT quote function. Right now I had the problem, communication
was not possible at all, no response.
Why shouldn´t a byer have the option to chancel an order, right after he received
a shipping calculation he is not ready to pay? No one has to be upset, all sorted.
After the chancellation no review is needed as well IMHO. Negative review will
result in a negitve one from the other part as well.
Or even the next step: Every store has to offer at least some fixed shipment
calculations for the countries they ship to. Quotes should only be an extra option.
Just my 2 cents. I feel sad about such an outcome.

Unexpected high shipping fee is a valid buyer reason for cancelation. https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=79

To be specific. Unexpected high shipping fee is not one of the reasons listed.
"Shipping fee too high" is not the same thing. Too high according to what? You
might think it's too high but the Postal service does not.
Point is, the wording should be changed.
|
If the Seller provided a shipping fee that was too high (not clearly stated in
T&C), then it's higher compared to what's stated in the T&C of the store.

| Hello,
When filtering seller location to European Union, UK is still visable.
Here in Sweden there is an extra fee for orders from countries outside EU, and
that fee applies for orders from UK. The fee is a minimum of 75 SEK and up to
125 SEK depending on the cost of the order.
Luckily I did look this up before making any order from UK, but it might be good
to fix the filtering system and remove UK from the EU list.
Have a good day!

| I personally think it would be a great idea to have a little green dot next to
your name if a member is currently active. As a seller , this would help with
messaging and such . and as a buyer it would mean invoicing could be done much

| Hello, My name is Praise. I have tried to buy LEGOs through BRICKLINK,
but it is so difficult and tedious because unlike many other sites with CARTS,
such as:
-Amazon
-Ebay
-Wish
etc.....
BRICKLINK makes it to where you have to buy from each seller separately
instead of a BUY BUTTON like other online stores that allows you to enter
your payment information only once, even if you buy from all around the world.
Also, there needs to be a confirmation from the seller after shipping and handling
(S&H) have been added so you're not hit with a crazy price (such as $13.25
for a 80 cent piece) that forces you to pay a higher amount than the buyer "bargained"
for.
|
Unfortunately my small hobby store can't be compared to Amazon, Ebay or Wish.
I would Wish it was.😉
Try to learn the Wantlist features to buy from the fewest stores possible to
save on shipping costs.
Always read the store Terms and Splash for shipping costs.
You cou can move to the next store if it doesn't have clear shipping costs
or use the Request a Quote feature.
You'll discover how easy it can be to buy from sellers on a smaller platform
as Bricklink instead of a multi billion Amazon, Ebay or Wish.

Do we really have to list a brand new fig as used, or as parts when it's
missing something like a cape or skirt???
When it gets deleted so quickly, does that mean that another member reported
it quickly to admins to get it removed? Someone said it's the new BL algorithm
that did it automatically, but that can't be true because I see other sellers
figs that are missing parts but still listed as new. So am I being singled out

| This is something that crossed my mind reading the forum.
What if you have to leave a message to the counterpart BEFORE leaving a non positive?
Like: "I am leaving this negative feedback, the counterpart may reply to this
message within XX days before the feedback becomes effective".
If I am a seller, I may want to contact a rushy buyer who is leaving me a negative
for an order that had a bad outcome before warning me about that. This way I
can offer refunds, coupons, reshipping or whatever, and the buyer may be discouraged
from leaving me bad feedback.
If I am buyer, I may want to contact a rushy seller who is leaving me a negative
without even contacting me, and I may want to settle things in order to avoid
the feedback.
I have received sometimes rushy feedbacks that underwent all the feedback removeal
procedure... this may have been just spared if the person was aware that I had
in my intentions to settle things.

The feedback page encourages to resolve issues before leaving feedback:
Please try to resolve any disputes before posting a complaint. Feedback must
not be used to communicate with your trading partner or ask them a question
