Item For Sale Description and Comments

BrickLink automatically generates item descriptions for all items in the catalog. You may add additional comments to the Bricklink descriptions using the Comments box on the Sell Item screen. These comments will appear after the Bricklink description when listing your items.

For custom items or those not included in our catalog, you must provide a complete description for your listing. Comments are limited to 255 characters, although sets and unsorted lots can use the extended description feature which allows unlimited text and pictures.
