I'm not entirely sure if this is the right place to post this, or whether
this has already been brought up (I tried searching but didn't see anything,
quite possible I missed it though).
The recent change with Bricklink messages having the "Caution" statement
at the beginning, seems okay for most messages (and I know it was in response
to the recent spam/phishing that has been going around), but I wanted to bring
up the fact that this message is also displaying on invoices - which I think
is going to confuse a lot of buyers. It could even lead to some unpaid or canceled
orders and/or NPB situations.
Buyers are being told to avoid clicking on links or sending funds, despite the
fact that it's the invoice and that's exactly what you're supposed
to do (so long as it's the official payment link of course).
Based on some discussions I've been seeing in a Facebook group, there are
already examples where orders have been canceled or buyers almost didn't
pay the invoice because they thought something was suspicious due to that message.
Hopefully Bricklink can adjust how this is worded, especially for invoices.

Never had an NPB until this week and now I have 3 buyers in NPB. I should learn
how to discriminate as all 3 have either no history in orders or very limited.

You can edit the Invoice template and show there whatever you wish (especially
removing this warning).
This is not true. There is not a macro tag for SCARY_HEADER that can be edited
or removed, just like the pay here on Bricklink message can not be edited or
removed.

+1 I’m a little confused as to what 1001bricks meant by that
Agreed. It appears that (as a seller at least, can't check as a buyer) whenever
there is a "view order)" option on the entry for a message in the message
list, quoting is disabled.
Even a crude "include message quote" button on the message page itself
would help.

Same as a buyer.

Oh, come on, you just need to remember to copy the message before hitting Reply
(or go back if you forgot) and then paste it and then add a chevron at the beginning
of each line.

It might be sarcastic, but it is exactly what I do every time.

BrickLink put a caution message on our invoices telling buyers not to pay? That's
just... I can't type it here.
You've heard the phrase throwing the baby out with the bathwater right? Now
new users can't contact their seller and are being told not to pay. This
is perfect for the holiday shopping season.
