You could reduce the cancel/refund portion of "I won't ship under 5 bucks" by creating a metric that tracks how often sellers do that, and create a threshold that, if they go over it, automatically suspends them. TCG player and Amazon both do that.

Actually, I have a plugin that autocorrects bitcoin to buttcoin, simply because I find it impossible to take seriously anyone speaking of bitcoin as being the most amazing thing ever, and that it's the savior of the economy, and I didn't go back and correct it in every spot. You'll notice I did go back and fix it this time.

In the passage you quoted of mine, if you'd go back and read it, I said that there was a "higher percentage of shady folk" involved in Bitcoin. You'll notice I didn't say everyone involved in Bitcoin was a criminal. You mentioned Dell, newegg and Microsoft accept Bitcoin, as does ABU Games, as mentioned in a previous post. You also mentioned that banks are interested in it, too, but you didn't mention that some malware that locks up your computer if you don't pay them accepts Bitcoin as well. You also don't mention the Bitcoin exchanges that have shut down and disappeared with peoples' bitcoins, or that the main currency used on Silk Road was Bitcoin. Here's one writeup on a scam from the New York Times. http://nytimes.com/2015/07/26/business/ … =&_r=0
I'm going into this assuming you personally, and most, if not all, of the people you deal with are not scammers or shady folk. Please don't respond as though I accused you of being a thief.

I was using Jesus Crist as a term of exasperation because of all the possible drawbacks of trying to set up a small business to be able to use bitcoins. It seems like too much of a headache to try to set up a marketplace for, considering there's one coder running this site, and he's trying to support himself off of the site, and if you really want to use Bitcoin to buy a magic card, you can go to ABUgames.

I suggested the automatic conversion of bitcoins to cash because it'd be easier to set up a payment system that treated bitcoins as an alternative form of payment, and not have to set up a completely different payment system that deals in Bitcoin exclusively. If it's all on one payment system, then it's a simpler site, with less to go wrong, not to mention, if the site converts one way, Bitcoin to cash, then Sebi would be able to also go the other way, for sellers who prefer to be paid in Bitcoin in lieu of cash.

There's also that the site has its' own selling fees, and the site may not want to end up having to turn them from Bitcoin into actual money that can be spent literally anywhere.

Ultimately, my problem with this site switching to accept Bitcoin is that the site is still really small, with 92k+ of registered users, of which I'd have to assume a very large portion are inactive. The one seller that is most active is adventureson, and they've only made 788 total sales since the marketplace went up. The marketplace is very low traffic, and, as such, the Bitcoin Deckbox marketplace would involve a much smaller subset of users. Implementing Bitcoin transactions seems like it would create way more trouble than it is worth for the Deckbox team.

It's an FNM promo, not an origins promo.

No, you set the value to 50 cents.

I haven't trusted card prices here since Sebi started the market and tcgplayer cut him off, and I strongly doubt that I ever will be able to. It sucks, because I joined up here so that I could manage my inventory and have a document available in case of insurance claim. I don't know how much Sebi is clearing from the market, but I doubt that it was enough to allow him to quit his job and work on the site full-time, as the premium level memberships started fairly soon after the market. I do think that if there's a card that doesn't have a price on here, that he should be setting it manually, as otherwise, it is a disservice to those who are paying members of the site.

Put "sideboard" between the regular deck and the sideboard when importing the list of cards

I'm holding off on entering them until we find out.

Bitcoin is ridiculous and nearly impossible to transfer from fake money to money backed by real governments. At least you can spend money acquired from PayPal in real stores.

Seriously, try changing your Bitcoin to dollars.

Edition printed in lists all cards in your collection that were printed in that set, plus all your other printings of that card. So, if you wanted to see what cards you have that had been printed in M15, then selecting Edition Printed In: M15 would show that you have an M15 copy of divination, as well as one from born of the gods and m14 and m13 and m12, whereas edition owned: m15 would just show your copies printed in m15.

For me, I generally only keep around 5 of each card, or 1 or 2 of each printing for cards like naturalize, so if I buy a number of packs from a set, I like to know if I already have 5 or more of a card, so edition owned: m15 won't show me that I have previous printings of divination.

Personally, I see only three really good reasons to cancel a sale on this or any other website.

One: went to pull the card, and had no copies/not enough copies to fill that order. In that case, there should be a specific button to click that takes the seller to a page that you type the quantity you are short by. Once you click OK on that page, it takes the seller to another page with a script that automatically unlists that card from their sale list, if they have no copies at all, or reduces the sell list by that number of copies, and locks them out of adding that card back to their sell list under any price for 24 hours, minimum, to prevent users from abusing the cancel order button. It would also generate an email to the buyer/s to either let them know their order was cancelled, or they'd be receiving fewer copies of the card, and they have to confirm whether or not they still want the order.

Two: there should be a button that says: "report suspected deckbox pricing error/issue with order".This would generate a hold on the order, email Sebi or another admin of the issue, and give them the chance to look at the report, judge whether there is an error, and confirm or deny the cancellation. If they deny it, the order comes off hold, and you are on the hook for shipping the card anyway. It would also give you the opportunity to alternately send an admin a bug report/other cancellation reason, such as customer on ban list or suspected scammer, or even "outside of seller's shipping limits. The number of times you use this cancellation method would be recorded, as would the number of times the admins judged your use as valid, and would be used to  whether you're abusing the button or not.

Three, a button that says "family emergency". This button would cancel all pending orders that had not been paid, would put your account on an automatic minimum two to three day, although you could specify longer, trading, buying, and selling suspension, similar to vacation mode, but more broad in scope.

These three suggestions have extreme effects, obviously, but they would also ensure that people are only using them when absolutely necessary, as abuse would disrupt the abuser's use of the site. If you don't have the card, then, barring buying the card, why would you be relisting it for sale right away? Are you clicking the pricing error issue because there's an actual issue, or because the price of the card shot up overnight, and you want to back out? Is there a real family emergency? If so, you won't mind suspending all sales for a day or two anyway, to take care of your family or recover from your issue.

I don't know. If, as a magic player, I were inclined to steal from another player, I'd absolutely want to get the 40 dual lands, and I'd probably sort the collection to find out if he had anything good at all before I did it. I'd also probably go on craigslist, buy a collection of random cards of a similar size off of some random dude that lives 8 hours away, pitch a bunch of crap, and if it ever came down to me being accused of stealing the original guy's collection, claim that it was in that guy's 200 dollar collection, and he must not have known what he had. See, here's the emails we sent. No, I never asked his name.

If I were a thief looking for something to steal from someone, and I wasn't a magic player, I wouldn't be looking on Deckbox for something to steal, because I never would have heard of deckbox. I'd probably just wait for someone to throw out a TV box or a PS4 box and hit that house.
