| Clearly presented, and most straightforward solution yet, I like it. Voted yes.

| | BL should create a uniform fee disclosure template that will appear on each seller's
Store Terms page. It should be the same format for every store, and once sellers
enter the various fees into their store settings the chart would automatically
populate and appear on the seller's page.
ONLY fees that are clearly disclosed on the chart could be included in an invoice,
and a buyer would have the right to cancel any order when invoiced with undisclosed
fees, without fear of receiving negative feedback. Same for sellers who cancel
orders when the buyer cancels over fees that were validly charged.
Here's an idea of what a chart COULD look like; anything clear and uniform
works, not unlike the fee disclosure information that must be included with credit
card and home mortgage offers in the US:

|
| I'd like to suggest that each set's "Part Out Value" be linked directly
from its Set Entry page (assuming 6 mo. value of "new" parts). It would remove
a few annoying clicks to obtain a set's part out value after browsing it
in the catalog.
Thanks,
K

| In BrickLink, can't you just hit the back button on your browser from a timed-out
page to get back to your message pre-post/send? That usually works for me if
I get an unexpected logout before completing a task. Then I just open a new
tab and log in, and go back to the original and send/post.

| Then more the reason it should be easy to do with BrickLink, too. I don't
think suggestions should be denied because other websites / software have those
features set up for you...

|
| I would like to suggest the "Sort by" function add "Last 6 Months Sales" as an
option. This could be used when looking at a Wanted List, a set's Inventory,
and anywhere else with a Sort By feature (applicable to sets & parts).
I think it would be very helpful to arrange items on my Wanted List by Last 6
Months Sales averages, or to see which items in a ses I am parting out are most
expensive, without doing exhaustive research.
Perhaps 3rd party software has these capabilities, but I'm not interested
in those.
Thanks,
K
PS - I don't know if this has been discussed before (A quick forum search
reveals nothing). Sorry if it's been brought up already.

| I would tend to agree with this opinion. I wouldn't touch an entire marketplace
website, let alone a store within the website, if the top of the page reads "Possible
scam activity occurring right now" in a red box.
I think more can be done to quietly prevent scamming, though, such as putting
caps on a new seller's transaction activity for a short period.

| | I propose an advisory system be implemented to issue notice of heightened risk
for scam and fraud sellers, as well as fraudulent and non paying buyer activity
on the site.
If Admin has the power to prevent even just one scam transaction from occuring,
then it is worth it in my opinion. Not everyone files disputes and not everyone
remembers to follow through with disputes, and some new honest sellers even ship
before getting paid, so scams do often result in real lossea for members.
I propose some kind of scam alert level, similar to the terror advisory color
levels that some developed nations now have around the world to combat global
terrorism.
During times of heightened reported or anticipated sitewide negative activity
(as measured by suspensions, NRS/NSS activity, negative feedback, etc) (or during
media events like the recent Lego Movie, or during holiday times) there could
be banners on all or some pages of the site, with a corrsponding color to indicate
the severity of the threat.
When such activity returns to more normal historical levels, the advisory notices
can be removed.
Advisory notices could be issued with various buying and selling recommendations,
for example to raise your store minimum, or do not transact with members with
X number of feedback, or do not transact with members or a particular country
or join date. Email notices, messages, and forum posts could be issued depending
on the threat. These are just a few basic suggestions.
Of course with such a system there may be the risk of alienating otherwise good
buyers and sellers, but one can always bypass recommendations and proceed with
caution. The benefit of the advisory hopefully will outweigh the risk.
I am open to other ideas or suggestions relating to this concept.

While I applaud your reasons, I vote no. Simple reasons really. Banners across
the pages would be a business killer.
People need to read store terms.
If it's too good to be true.....
No one here likes it when a buyer gets taken advantage of. People on this forum
are pretty savvy and are excellent at weeding out the "takers".

| | Hi,
when browsing though the "Items for Sale" pages in a store i would like to see
the quantity that i already have in my own inventory for the parts displayed
on the screen ...
Maybe somewhere on the right for each lot
So each lot will display how many are offered by the seller and i can immdiately
see how many i already have (in my store and storage A/B/C)
This will allow me to quickly identity how many parts i have and how many i will
/ can purchase
thx koen

Hopefully this helps a little. It's a feature that I didn't know existed
for a long time until someone else pointed it out.
You can have your inventory shown in the Catalog item view page (see image 2
below) by checking the box shown in image 1. Go here to make that change: http://www.bricklink.com/catalogOptions.asp

|
| It could be problematic due to some sellers selling multiple lots of the same
part. I know you can already sort by unique lots, but even then some stores
who list multiple lots of the same piece are high on the List.
If you can get the function to only count the lowest price if there are multiple
lots of the same piece then it might work.
What about used vs. new (if you don't specify in your WL)? Does it default
to used, if a store has both conditions of an item?
Despite all this nay-saying, I like the idea, and hope it could one day be implemented.

| | I think it would be a good idea to add a "Total Cost" column to this page: http://www.bricklink.com/wantedShop.asp
This column would total up the cost of what it would be for the desired qty for
all the items wanted in the store. That way, you could see which store has the
most number of wanted lots at the lowest price. The min buy is helpful, but
knowing how much all the stores would cost for all the wanted quantities would
be more helpful instead of having to click on all the stores and doing calculations.
