Buyers do not need to change order status, leave feedback, or do anything at
all after they have paid. It sure is nice when they do, but it's unreasonable
of you to go after them for it.

I would advise leaving these buyers alone and with a nice positive feedback as
well.

  Hi all

I just had yet another case, with a first time buyer, who did not understand
nor know how to to complete an order and file feedback.
Nor do they know that they have to do anything except receiving the item.

I also have some users which do not care.

Some complain, that as firs time buyers, they would like an email on the first
order, how to act, what to do and what to click. Some literally need illustrative
pictures
Even that once selected "completed", it is needed to click "save"

They state:

Quote: "A separate email about doing the status change straight from BrickLink
would be great. No one generally wants to read help pages or has time to learn
about something you usually don’t have to do when ordering things."

And

Quote: "Since we haven’t order from here before and the site isn’t exactly
user friendly we didn’t know the case had to be completed by us. The link you
sent only had instructions on giving feedback, not changing a status. It’s completed
now. Maybe you can include the info that the status has to be changed by the
receiver straight into the message if it’s compulsory and not optional."

I think that BL is user friendly, but not everyone sees it this way. Btw this
is a UX designer who sent this

In quite some cases I never get to know that buyers ever have received their
items.

Would it be possible, that on first order, that BL sends some information to
buyers what to do - in detail?

[...] 10000000% agree with Jenn. Much more, if you pressure them you may receive a positive feedback with a negative comment or even a non-positive feedback!
