Interested to know if people that sell parts for the love of LEGO are over this
site.
1 outa 5 orders are bogus ... 3 outa 5 are not as appreciative of the parts they
receive.
For the last !!!! Thanks for enjoying having a place to get rare pieces at a
fair price and letting me know that you can be as geeky as I am about it.

I haven't been around here nearly as long as you have, but I am certainly
not over this site.

I don't know where you got those stats from, but I disagree. Instant checkout
takes care of a lot of the non-paying buyers and while most buyers neglect to
leave feedback, that doesn't necessarily mean that they do not appreciate
the parts they receive.

Please don't go!

I agree with Wildchicken, I'm basically new here, got sucked in sorting my
childhood collection during lockdown, and I like it - I had 5 customer contacts
so far, but no bad experiences, so for me it works fine, and I like it here.
And from what I read in the forum there's been quite a few people lately
with a similar story to mine, so I'm confident not to be the only non-troll
human for the near future.
That said, lots of noobs probably means bigger chances for people making mistakes,
but not out of ill will I'm sure, and most of those problems can be solved
with a nice message.

You're asking if the sellers on this site also love lego? yes quite a lot/most
of us do, some sellers are just here to try and make some money but they are
in the minority.

  1 outa 5 orders are bogus ...

1 out of 5 orders the buyer never paid? Setup instant checkout and that will
change to 0 out of 5.

3 outa 5 are not as appreciative of the parts they
  receive.

3 out of 5 orders didn't leave feedback? that's quite high - but yes
there are a lot of buyers who never leave feedback.
