| I don't care about the spam itself, I'm more-so bothered by the fact
that the Admins in charge allow it in the first place; it may be an insignificant
annoyance, but for me, it shows they don't care. Action speaks louder than
words, and they're full of empty promises.
They can say they care, they can give as much lip-service as they'd like,
but it's been going on for years now and they still haven't come up with
a simple solution to forum spam. I've said it in the past, but it doesn't
really make me feel confident in the site's security when they can't
even deal with simple spam being posted daily for the past 3 or so years.
"It's the spaghetti code though! it's impossible to tackle!!!!"
Is that why they've done umpteen complex & pointless changes that no one
asked for while ignoring real issues? Implementing a MOC pop-up shop, a designer
program, a 2nd forum for Studio, and merging a bunch of parts for no reason?
It's extremely frustrating to watch, especially when some changes have been
protested for weeks before they implemented them. But "muh spaghetti code"
prevents them from implementing a requirement or filter for forum posts. Makes
sense.
I personally think the whole Bricklink team needs a restructuring or needs to
be replaced entirely. Sorry to say, but this seems to have been an issue for
way longer than I've even been on the website judging by other posts that
have been brought up over the years.
They hired more helpdesk staff back around Fall 2022, then on top of that they
had Lego step in and provide customer service reps this year, and that STILL
hasn't helped the help desk backlog, that has been "months behind"
for months now with no real info as to how bad it is, we can only go off of what
regular forum members parrot in their posts.
On top of that, the community engagement people hardly communicate with us...
the only admin that actually seems to acknowledge posts is Russell, but even
then a lot gets ignored and looked over (I know he can't reply to everything
and read everything, but there are a lot of popular forum posts that have valid
concerns that get ignored)
I love Bricklink, just hate to see it mishandled and stomped on like it has been
for the past while now.

MOST of mine are all small items and less than 100pcs so this method is pretty
easy. It works for larger orders too, just need more space/larger groups or a
mix of both.
It still saves me from a short pick here and there and since using it, my error

I count into groups of 5 too. I also have a checked cloth on my sorting table.
I spread out 5 of whatever into each square and it's super easy to count.

I understand. From the posted suggestion "Personally don't find the
spam posts all that bothersome. Many do though, and if there's an easy fix
to tidy things up a bit..."
But whether you, I or some others are overly bothered, is not the point of the
suggestion. Betterment of the site, if for no other reason
Anyway, it's just a suggestion of how something that does bother others,
could be handled. A few analogies leap to mind, things that should not be allowed
as being disruptive or subversive to the accustomed functioning of a given community.
In other words, things which though don't particularly bother you or I, might
be addressed nonetheless
But like I said, just a suggestion

| Decool is a knockoff brand, they copy LEGO sets and design.
Real one would have the LEGO logo on the neck stud and hips. A fake can also
be printed on real LEGO parts, but then someone custom prints on it.

Sadly Marvel figs are faked ALOT. It's not worth getting excited yet unless

Sorry that all the hacking issues have caused you worry!
It sounds like someone was looking at items in your shop, wanted to confirm the
condition of an expensive item, decided not to buy it, but checked out with some
other items. And you've cancelled on them after a fairly short time.
What makes you so nervous? All of this sounds very innocuous. The only info that
you have given them is your email and BrickLink address which are always public-facing
once any order is placed.

Your store terms are horrendous.

Plus adding 4.2% paypal fee. Simple Honest solution is to raise your prices 4.2%.
A no brainer, unless you are trying to artificially make your prices look cheaper.

No worries then you should be all good. The current hacking issue with bricklink
is thru fake emails sent to sellers which have links that bring them to fake
login pages where phishers steal logging details which they then use to sign
into your account. So long as you don’t follow and email links and you have OTP
on bricklink enabled your store should be all good to go (and as a safeguard
to also have a backup of your inventory saved)

| A week and a half a go I had a request for a photo of a fairly costly headgear
from a buyer he had only 1 feedback from last year. I sent a message regarding
that I would be willing with no response. I then took a few photos the next day
e-mailed them, I had no response. I wasn't to worried it happens (right)
but I started wondering and did worry I was afraid someone was trying to get
into my store or something, so I deleted his message (no to sure what good that
would do) But then I received a order from the same person a few days after buying
2 items that had no bearing the the photo requested previously. Ok I thought
and invoiced the order. Still no response or payment😬 I waited 4 days feeling
very uncomfortable and cancelled the order. I haven't heard anything back!
So I am wondering what you long time, smart, BL sellers think about it

Keep in mind many people don't leave feedback because they aren't happy,
but don't want to make a fuss.
I know when I get meh parts, I usually just avoid that shop, I only leave bad
feedback if they really deserve it. I know there are critics of this approach,
but that's just what I do. So really self reflect that you sent "nice"
orders, nicely packed etc.
Otherwise its about 50% leave feedback IME

You could buy 800 sets of legs and sell them as a build your own minifigure lots.
You could do bundles of 50 or whatever, random selections of parts.

Not only against Paypal terms, but it is illegal in California starting in July.
It isn't hard to simply add 3% to your store prices to cover the fee.
But sellers who tack the fee on later get the advantage in the price guide, which
I just consider to be dishonest.
Personally, I least favorite stores that do this, but I will continue to push
Bricklink to change to terms of the site to prohibit junk fees.
|
I particularly like this one that I came across with today:
In my store, I have no lot limit, or any other hidden fees. I only charge
$1.50 to cover handling and shipping supply costs (in addition to shipping cost)
plus 3.5% of total invoice value to cover my store's overhead cost. We will
not send missing items. We only refund their value.
|
I saw a store in the US that said 2.00 was added for things like bubble mailers,
tape, pens, stamps and even gas to get to the post office. The list had a lot
more but the stamps and Pens really had me laughing.
I don't understand how people do not put themselves in the buyers shoes.
If you are going to charge a fee like that you are better off not saying anything
at all.

Not specifically. You can charge everyone the same rate regardless of payment

That makes sense if the averages for a given part are only calculated once per
day. I've not run across this issue before, but it seems like Price Guide
manipulation. As in, if other stores use the regular current average price when
parting out, they'll accidentally price at least some items higher than they
ought to be, making the store that does the initial price very high but later
lowers it look like they have low prices when they don't.

Wowza. I just took a look. Charging for the paypal fee and saying they arnt responsible

I think this same calculation might be reflected in the Price Guide. Of course

It is particularly annoying if items are removed by admins for being incorrectly
listed, especially if they are not incorrectly listed. They cannot be reinstated
if removed, all the work listing what is missing is lost, and the seller has
to do that again. Hence the need for very clear guidelines. If removals become
subjective rather than objective, all that work is lost each time they decide
to remove a listed item, whether it is incorrectly removed or not.

Yes, in every case I can think of it would be better for the site to "stockroom"
a bad listing and send an explanation rather than simply delete it.

Well, I still like seeing the Price Guide but I agree that the whole point
of having an option for listing Incomplete sets is so we can, you know, list
sets that are missing pieces. Some, most, a majority, very many, a percentage...
are a whole bunch of subjective descriptors. Without well-published and easy-to-find
AND understand guidelines and no efficient method for enforcement, BrickLink
needs to let this go.
I understand their intentions for telling us to use the Custom Item listing,
but it's just not reasonable or practical.
On a personal note, I think being able to shop for sets sold without minifigs
or accessories is convenient and a good way to get parts at a relative discount.
I used to buy these listings and part them out for a decent profit.

I, quite often will list incomplete sets. Not ones missing mini-figs. If the
figs are missing I part out the set. On occasion a part (or a few) are missing,
stickered part or stickers are missing. These I will list as Incomplete, detail
what is missing and put the missing parts on my WL. Sometimes they sell before
I acquire the part(s) but usually I end up completing the set.

Will this page
https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=102
be updated to reflect this new wording?
Currently it still indicates (for used incomplete sets)...
Every item for sale on BrickLink has a Condition which is assigned by the
seller.
:
Incomplete - Set is missing items. Description should state what exactly is missing.
As the seller assigns the condition, do they get to choose what the difference
between serious and very serious is?
Personally, I think rules should be precise so if an item is removed then it
is clear as to why.
So something along the lines of ...
USED: If instructions and/or box are missing, it is still considered COMPLETE
if this is mentioned in the notes. If any of the parts, including stickers, necessary
to build the main model and any supplementary models are missing then the listing
must be marked as incomplete. However, it must be listed as a custom item and
not an incomplete set if any of the following is true:
- It is missing more than 10% of the parts (or whatever is decided how much
can be missing)
- It is missing any of the essence of the set, including missing any of the
figures of an IP set, name tiles in architecture and similar sets, printed parts
unique to the set, etc.
Alternatively, it might be better to just remove the ability to list an incomplete
set. So if anything is missing and the set does not meet the definition of complete
(whether used complete or new complete) then it must be listed as a custom lot.
That way, there is no subjectivity when it comes to items being removed. And
probably less work for the helpdesk or whoever removes items reported.

Your terms are terrible. If you package things poorly and they get broken in

Wowza. I just took a look. Charging for the paypal fee and saying they arnt responsible
for packages once they ship them. I highly suggest reading PayPal’s TOS and then
updated your terms

I have given 3631 positive and received 2222 positive feedback, which is 61.2%
reciprocity.
For a new seller such as yourself, it is important to get your feedback up, but
not at the cost of annoying all your buyers with messages.
Being patient and offering great service is all you can do. Know you're not
alone with the missing feedback.
Best of luck, - Chris

| yup, many buyers won't leave feedback but once you get 100+ or so feedback
it generally isn't something that really crosses your mind that much so give
it a little and you should be good. as for "encouraging" buyers to leave
feedback you shouldn't message them or anything as it may annoy some so just
provide the best service you can and usually somewhere between 30%-70% of buyers
will leave feedback

Yes.
Buyers buy, and mainly communicate only when there's a problem.
Did you post an evaluation every time you bought on Amazon? I didn't (while
I did for 50+ objects), but it's less and less meaning.
Execpt when it's crap - then DO complain (and return it).
In short, feedback seems to be kind of an obsolete concept when buying on line
was an adventure in itself. Now it's just normal.

Correct, just do not click to the point where an order is actually created.
Just use it to see what numbers are being calculated for the shopping cart.
