That could even be put into the listing. Maybe. Then the problem is going through the thousands of sellers here and asking them to add this to their terms, along with a viable means of payment that can be selected as a placeholder.    About the hacks,I did mention that before. Bricklink has trouble getting features to work why should the sellers feel confident that the same people can prevent hacking? I've been throwing that out there as the primary reason why only offering onsite payment is a dumb idea. I'd feel safer dropping my driver's license, social security card, all credit/debit cards, and the account numbers and passwords to all of my bank accounts into my mailbox for a day and hoping nobody noticed. Bricklink and Paypal do not get to play on the same computer in my home, which makes paying by any onsite payment option about as problematic as having a Chinese space station land on your head (and I hear that may be a possibility for me around the same time this fiasco is scheduled to burn down, fall over, and sink into the swamp).

[...] It is a shame how stubborn Bricklink has become. It was a community at one time, almost a family. Now it is just them. John P (76 months ago, Mar 19, 2018, to Suggestions)
