Dear BrickLink admins and members, We see it every day. BrickLink is losing business because it's still not possible to pay immediately after checkout. We have to cancel our orders because new members can't find shipping fees. They expect that the shipping fee will be automically displayed when they put items in their shopping cart. The also expect that they can pay immediately for their orders. The way it is going now is way too complicated for new members. Why is it so hard to create software to let members pay immediately and tell them the shipping fee. BrickOwl and BrickScout are doing it. They are taking BrickLink's business over. What I hear from other sellers is that it's impossible to create it because not al items have their weight in the BrickLink catalog. Why not solve this with a standard weight for items that don't have their weight in the BrickLink catalog? (0.5KG for a set, 0.2KG for a part etc.) Please, BrickLink do something at this. Thank you. Best regards, Niels Roest Owner of BricksDirect

As long as it stays an OPTION and never becomes obligatory, I'm fine with it. It seems some sellers don't care someone is ALWAYS gonna lose money with such a system: [...] (88 months ago, Mar 20, 2017, to Suggestions)
