No.
It's optional, you can't enforce an option.

"Feedback is how you let other members know how well a transaction went."
So, if you're not interetsed to let other members know, you don't have
to.

Completed - same.

Buyer PAYS for some goods, seller ships, buyer receives, he's happy, he's
nothing else to do.

Can we make it so they can't?

Because when a seller does it by mistake, we can not send a ship notice thru
the system

Thanx

Milissa

As a side note I wonder whether status should auto set to complete once buyer
has left feedback or certainly after both buyer and seller have left feedback

Sensible. Put it forward as a Suggestion post, I say.

No, as said, because Completed means:
"Completed - Package received, contents verified, the order is completed."

And some sellers (like me) give feedback as soon as shipped, and some buyers
even before...

Transaction is completed: neither BrickLink or the seller can't decide this
- whatever the algorithm is.

Buyer paid for something, he has to say the final word, or don't - it's
not even mandatory.

  Thank you! I looked back at several pages of messages and found that only 1 of
10 stores actually include the (tax) line on the invoice which begs me to ask...

How come the tax line is not automatically included?

Because the manual invoicing system uses custom templates and pre-dates the collection
of sales tax, VAT, etc. by BrickLink.

This is already possible; the seller needs to have the appropriate macro tags on
their invoice templates.

Here are mine for example, they work for all TAX, VAT and GST orders.

As the invoice are custom templates they need to be updated or reset manually,
they have specifications from each seller so if the admins reset them all that
would be lost and become a mess for all.

They could inject the code instead but I don't think the bricklink system
is so capable...

It is very annoying to see:

Total: US $43.77
Shipping: US $10.80
Insurance: US $0.00
Additional Charges: US $1.00
Credit: US $0.00
Grand Total: US $57.94

$43.77
$10.80
$ 1.00
-------
$55.57

There is clearly a discrepancy between the Grand Total and what is actually showing
for charges. Since taxes are not included in those charges, the discrepancy must
be the taxes.

1) This discrepancy will likely confuse many buyers.
2) Anyone who prints the invoice for business reasons will not have a paper record
of the taxes paid.
3) In case of an audit, having a record of taxes paid on paper is beneficial.
