Hello,
Using buy.page from a phone, when you click "select" on a store:

I can't see items! the blue button is quasi invisible!

If I rotate the phone: it changes a little but just 2 rows? Come on there a full
screen to use.

Imho it wastes a lot of space/padding for trying to center the window on small
screens (phones) while letting you see background via trans-black bricks (ahah
joking)

Fancy, but it breaks on phones and space is premium anyway on these small screns,
so I would suggest to to get us a fullscreen 100% window for better UI experience.

This is not a technical issue in the opinion of Bricklink. Bricklink does not
support phone or tablet use.

I've used the mobile site on Android no problem. Mobile sites usually aren't
made for landscape mode since most people hold them upright. It's harder
to scroll and browse listings that way anyway, since your screen's space
is spent looking at a page's width rather than length. If visibility is your
reason, just zoom in!

First, orient your phone vertically. 2 rows is better than none anyway, no? Can
you tap the 3 dots next to the search bar at the top and then request desktop
site? For me, that takes my 3 rows and makes it 12.
