Listing incomplete sets
Let's talk about incomplete listings! Our Item Condition policy only allows
certain parts of a set to be missing, such as instructions or original packaging,
to qualify it as Incomplete.
When you list sets that are missing minifigures or just the minifigures from
a set, they should not be listed as an incomplete set. They are qualified as
'Custom items'. The process for listing them is the same, except that
you should check the 'Custom item' check box, as shown below.
Listing items as 'Custom' not only helps buyers in their search for specific
items, but it also helps keep our price guide more precise for sellers.

Umm... okay. So... they are going to go through BL and remove every set that
is missing minifigs and accessories? Do they have ANY idea how many that is?
Do they have any idea that this is a very common practice on BrickLink for as
long as any of us have known it?

Can anyone on the Marketplace Panel weigh in on this please?

| If you take a slight look those number of listings are quite massive and very
baked much baked in..
By that point i would set the report listing feature to that it automaticly triggers
a lot into a custom listing on 1st report, and have a looksie by moderator or
personel after 2+ reports.. they already have massively tied hands when it comes
to time and work(load).
But im very curious indeed.. already posted a suggestion topic about the rules.
Best wishes

Good suggestion… except for the involvement of us, “experts” (moderators or others).

You want ME to check & remove items in YOUR shop? 
(And make that “remove” only: I won’t check anything  )

They should really email every seller that currently has an incomplete set listed.
It has often been said they'd never decide one way or the other whether minifigs
can be sold as new when assembled by sellers because historically it was allowed
and there are so many listed that way. I think this change is even bigger than
that and yet there was no consultation or warning.
