For me, it’s the individualism of its vendors and buyers, among other
reasons. Our current orders placed within the last five days, note the processing
protocols; Beautiful (imho).

Let's keep it that way, Admin. No further attempts towards homogenization
Pull back and think bigger picture factoring human nature

All I'm seeing right now is that $1,100 order at the top of your screenshot.
Very impressive!


I guess buying all of those classic SW sets back when they were cheap really
paid off!

Yeah, that's not actually USD, but another dollar currency. Those kind of
buys are well behind us

How about the second order that hasn't even shipped yet, and the buyer has
already left positive feedback.
I've had a lot of (new) buyers recently that haven't marked it received/completed,
let alone leaving feedback.

No the feedback is in the “them” column.

"Our current orders placed" They are sellers in the transactions, Johan.

The point to make is membership diversity, by highlighting individual sellers
order-processing protocols. How each of us widely perceive buyer and seller behavior.
Expect and do things uniquely, all while staying within the guardrails the site's
minimal guidelines of expectation provide. Allowing for more individualism. Which
is what our nature deeply desires, but often denies itself for reasons I won't
go into

Afterthought: You'd ideally as a vendor, want to settle into those behaviors
which most (if not all) individuals expect and prefer. Find the sweet-spot.

That's enough, my heads hurts Gonna have my coffee now and go workout at
the shore.

I missed the placed. Took it as orders received.

It’s structured, but still allows some individualisms.
Some may think the way it works is straightforward, and very rigid in its process.

Need more coffee. Real coffee, not the PNW “specialty” stuff.

PNW and specifically, Seattle, is home to Starbucks and countless of other peddlers
of the "specialty" coffee brews

For me, it's...

Arabica - Dark Roast Pacific Bold (or extra bold)

Enjoyed black.
