| | Hi,
Question - Will this affect draw numbers? When they combine the variants, will
my draw numbers cease to exist? I will have to find all of my variants and pull
them??? I have thousands of drawers. Nightmare! This is a terrible idea.
Thank you,

I don’t know what a draw number is for you, but they are not combining lots in
stores. If you had both variants, you will just end up with the same two lots
with only your own Comments or Remarks to distinguish them.

I have my drawer number in the remarks to locate the item. So I guess I will
be OK with locating the item? I hope!
thank you,

I am also disappointed that there will only be digital instructions. How do
you get the instructions and will you be able to pass the instructions on if
you decide to give your set to another person? I have built them and then passed
them on to a special needs child for them to build. I may not buy this time
around. It is just not the same.

| I am in total agreement that 2 weeks is too long. I don't know any place
else that waits 2 weeks for payment before cancelling. My inventory is tied
up constantly. Most of the time it's a 0 feedback buyer or an international
buyer that doesn't like the shipping charges (even though they are clearly
posted). They don't respond. It's so frustrating. If for some reason
you don't want the order please contact the seller. We should be able to
file a NPB after 3 days and cancel 4 days later. 1 week total. I think that
is way more than enough time to pay for your order. Why are we giving people
7 days to pay before we can even file the NPB? It's ridiculous.

I don't mind the 1 week to pay before it is started. But another full 7 days
to complete the NPB is not necessary.
I would propose 3 additional days and that is it. Let us get our stock back
in our stores to sell to someone else instead of being held at our will for 14
full days when 10 is plenty enough.
I can't be the only one that feels this way and 14 days might have worked
10-15 years ago when access to Smart-Phones wasn't as widespread, but these
days, you can't go far without having the ability to respond. Thanks

I completely agree, 7 days to open, 3 days to close, with or without a response.
If they have time to respond they can use that time to pay. If they can't
afford to pay, they shouldn't have made the purchase to start with.
Also, to those sellers who simply cancel and move on, you're leaving yourself
open to a retaliatory negative FB and enabling a NPB to continue doing the same
thing to other sellers. I have inventory held hostage right now for a NPB, despite
the fact his FB clearly shows this is a habit. If those sellers had used the
NPB process, as they should have, he would have been suspended and my inventory
would be free right now.

Yes they can leave a neg, but 90% of the time it a a zero feedback buyer doing
this. When they get the negative back from the seller they will find themselves
at -1 and find it much more difficult to buy from anyone.
|
Yes 90% of the time it is zero or low FB buyers, but that really doesn't
matter, it's still an undeserved blemish on your record. This is strangers
dealing with strangers, IMHO your reputation is just as important as your customer
service and parts quality.
| |
And I do agree that I am making the problem worse by not following the process,
but the process just plain sucks and I'm not wasting my time dealing with
it.
|
You're right, the NPB process sucks, but it's all we have right now,
so we have to deal with it. Otherwise NPB's are going to continue wasting
our time and tying up our inventory for nothing.

I wish I could figure out the instant payment for the single boxed sets I sell.
I know exactly how much they will weigh and how big the shipping box is for each
sealed set I have. But I am just too stupid to figure it out. I really wish it
would just calculate it for me like ebay does. I'm considering actually just
offering free shipping and having instant payment but I would be buried so far
in the listings I would never be seen.

As for IC, haven't even tried so IDK. I pull and recheck every part, weigh
and manually send invoices. I want to know everything is perfect and correct
before invoicing and shipping. Actually if they implement their proposed changes
it seems we'll be forced to use IC, which is why I've started exploring
other options. It sucks, I've been here a long time and really like it,
but if or when they do force it on us I'll be closing my store and moving
on. This nonsense of if they payed too much you have to refund, if they paid
too little you have to eat it, doesn't work for me.
