  Have one universal cart that has lists of all of the shops beneath it. Example:
eBay;s cart page. It's too hard to keep track of 30 different stores AND
pay separately.


After you've checked out (http://www.bricklink.com/orderPlaced.asp) or before?

Doesn't change having to pay separately.



So, you want bricklink to behave like eBay so you don't have to pay everyone
individually?

I wonder what it is recently with people coming here and wanting it to behave
like something else when that something else already exists.

Since you have 0 feedback, maybe just try accepting the way it is at this moment
and see if something is needed rather than trying to change something

Why come down on a new member who essentially is making the exact same suggestion
that a member who has been around for three years made 2 days ago?
http://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=855571

It is possible this new member was simply trying to help and there is no membership
length criteria for making suggestions. If new members never could place orders
but also could never make suggestions to help themselves, no one would get sales.

I'd say this new member's perspective strengthens the argument for auto-check
out. New member(s) used to something else are confused by BrickLink's non
standard system of online commerce. Confusion has the potential to lead to loss
of sales/revenue.


They aren't actually talking about automated checkout.
They are talking about buying from x stores, logging into paypal, making one
payment or one batch of payments to pay for all of their orders.
It's integration with PayPal.

That wasn't my understanding of the suggestion. He said a global cart with
individual shops under there - I don't think he is advocating for paying
only one individual for items from multiple shops.

  
eBay only had that happen with PayPal after they bought them.

And why come down on them for it?
Would you go into a restaurant and tell the chef what to do with soup without
ever orderering it first?

No, but if he served me soup on a plate with only a knife to eat it with, I sure
would suggest he try a bowl and a spoon next time.

  
Sure, anyone can make a suggestion, but the same kind of suggestions that changes
a task from 2 clicks to 1 click, I also will comment negatively on.

Negatively on the suggestion, sure. Negatively on the individual suggesting it,
I wouldn't but I suppose you are within your rights to do so.

  How often would this be needed?
Is the current process to onerous?

Yes, the current process is more onerous than standard online commerce websites.

  Do mistakes happen that this process will correct or circumvent?

I get automated check out. That's not the same thing.
