| Hey everyone, I have an idea that Bricklink can implement, and I don't know
why it is not implemented yet.
So, there are few type of sellers, someone responds for like a week, or doesn't
respond at all, ships parts in polybags which were used at dinosaur times, and
packaging 100 parts for like a 4 days.
Other type of seller is when a seller quickly responds, includes some gifts for
his customers, responds as fast as possible, in other words puts a lot of effort
in his job, but both of this sellers gets the same money from orders.
And my idea is pretty simple, why Bricklink didn't implement tip system?
Good sellers who put effort will receive a tip from customers if they want to
send it to them, other sellers will try to become better, will try to make their
packaging looking better, will put more effort in their job in order to get tips
for their work. Bricklink can collect fees on this tips.

| There's a few ways to "tip" good sellers:
1. Leave positive feedback.
2. Send a thank-you message.
3. Place another order.
4. If you have their PayPal address, you could send them a tip through PayPal
(BrickLink doesn't collect fees on this, though).
5. Mail them some cash.
As for the reason why BrickLink doesn't implement some sort of tipping system,
probably it is just because it is not a very common practice in ecommerce.
You could always create a feature suggestion if you think it should be added:

I think there are many reasons this isn't a good idea, but a primary one
is that it would require a second PayPal transaction. You can't simply "update"
a payment that's already been paid with a tip (which is why there isn't
a built-in system on Bricklink for adding a single part or two onto an order
that's been paid). And a second transaction means PayPal will take another
transaction fee ($0.49 domestically, $0.99 internationally, plus a percentage).
So if someone wanted to tip $1 or $2, the seller would lose a good chunk of that
to fees.

restaurants, called Jool, you just scan the QR code and pay here, and then waitresses
