If sellers have 20/20 foresight and can tell the future, they know when to shutdown
their store *before* they become sick, before that car accident that leaves them
in a coma in the hospital, before the massive power outage that shuts down their
city.
How many sellers on BL are great at predicting the future?
I know I'm not. Otherwise I would have shut my store down BEFORE the massive
power outage that is currently affecting my area.
My suggestion is this: Change the current lower minimum time on auto-shutdown
of av store from 3 days to something more realistic like 1 day ....or even 12
hours.
Technically, I can't see BL having a problem with that ... they auto-disconnect
users after 15 - 30 minutes of browser inactivity and preform daily site maintenance.
Surely doing a daily check on stores that have not been active in the last 24
hours (only for those sellers who actively select that time frame), is possible.
BL may have some philosophical or ethical reason for this 3 day limit, but I
can not see what it could be.
The current 3 day limit only exacerbates the situation and does not make for
happy buyers or sellers. Buyers are unhappy because their sellers are ignoring
them; Sellers are unhappy as is soon as they are back on their feet physically
or electronically, they may have to go into over-drive to process the backlog
of orders that occurred before they could shutdown their store
Who knows more about when and how often a given seller logs into his/her store?
The store owner or BrickLink?
Grumpy seller still without power after 1.5 days ...and 3 new orders to process
when I do get power back
