There is no saving it. Don't even show a price guide for that.

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.

Any truth to the "rumor" that Bricklink will be making this compatible
this year? I see Paypal has bought on BL and Lego said their will be updates
but haven't heard anything in awhile on this.

  USED: If instructions or box are missing, it is still considered COMPLETE if
these deficiencies are mentioned in the notes. However, for more serious
deficiencies, the listing must be marked as INCOMPLETE, and for very serious
deficiencies, it must be listed as a custom item.

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.

I started selling at the end of January and have had a handful of orders since,

feedback anymore?

I've left feedback for every order, both buying and selling, and I thought
most people would do the same. Is there anything I could be doing to try to encourage
my buyers to leave feedback?

Your store terms are horrendous.

Your terms are terrible. If you package things poorly and they get broken in
the post then you expect the buyer to take the hit unless they insured the order?

I think having friendlier terms could help.

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
