  Since sellers are NOT supposed to set orders to Complete.....

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

+1!

  
Rather not, Milissa.

There are fairly common scenarios in which a seller might consider setting a
sent order status to “Completed” Just a few…

1) Buyer leaves positive feedback, but doesn’t change the order status from “Shipped”

Just file it.

  2) Buyer messages seller, thanking and/or offering praise of service or product
without changing the status.

Just file it.

  3) Buyer and seller are in communication over an order issue, which concludes
with the buyer expressing to the seller, their complete satisfaction with the
transaction. Here, the seller might not wish to task the already tasked buyer
further, by asking them to change the status and rather takes care it themself.

Just file it.

  
There are a good many LEGO fans that simply don’t know, don’t care, or don’t
care to know about order status 'duties’ and just wanna buy LEGO, that’s
it. Which is fine. The changing of order status by the seller simply helps a
vendor clean things up a bit, to stay organized. I does for me anyway.

The only order duty a buyer has is to pay. After that is the seller shipping
it and nothing else, as a commerce platform there is no further need to
do anything else.

What part of this explicit statement of mine...

“There are a good many LEGO fans that simply don’t know, don’t care, or
don’t care to know about order status 'duties’ and just wanna buy LEGO, that’s
it. Which is fine”


... does not align with the sentiment of your reply, or are you just repeating
back in argumentative form, what’s been expressed? The latter does not advance
discussion

My attitude is relatively the same as yours and Milissa's, never really cared
if my buyers used the status change, not as much as is occasionally expressed
in forum by others. Just rather keep the seller ability in place, is all.

As to order status ‘duties’ and importance: None "need" as you
say, fulfill those. But it is a significant form of communications within a transaction,
helpful to both parties. Otherwise, why bother having the ability for both buyer
and seller.

And let's substitute the term "duties" with tasks, if that
facilitates better understand: https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=1138

Opening sentence: "Buyer and Seller each have tasks to complete
during the lifetime of an order"


Under Buyer "Change Order Status to Completed - Change the Order
Status Received when you have received your package (but have not yet verified
its contents or there is a problem). When you verify the contents of your package
and consider the order completed, change the order status Completed"


I've always maintained that I personally don't care if my buyers fulfill
their task, not really, and will gladly handle it when needed.
