That would be fun for the sets with two capes in one box. I forget if it was
a Star Wars or Avengers set last month where I was about to flip my lid when
I didn't see a second box.

Does the same line continue down to part level for special parts thst come in

This would implicate :
Capes and Nets for example.

New parted out parts, that are removed from their package should be "incomplete"?

There is no setting for incomplete parts.

  And can only be New when kept and stored in its package?

I doubt it, as the same cape, for example, can come in multiple different boxes
along with other capes and sometimes without any box.

+1 and also there are listings for the boxed versions themselves.

Hi there.
Following up on the just just send out newsletter;

It stated clearly that sets have to be marked as a custom set , instead as "incomplete"
when minifigures are missing.

As of now the rules on this are somewhat subject to point of view.

Also it states on the page before the definitions that incomplete sets status
does count when minififures are missing.

"Item For Sale Condition (New/Used) and Sub-Condition (Complete/Incomplete/Sealed)
must adhere to their respective Definitions. For example, sets which have been
previously built must be listed as Used. Sets without Minifigures must be listed
as Incomplete."

From page :
https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=103

"Incomplete - Contents are brand new, but may have been removed from plastic
bags for inventory purposes or to remove other contents from the set. The set
is missing some of the contents, instructions or original box/packaging. The
description should clearly state what exactly is missing."

From page :
https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=102

Kijd regards.

You can import the XML in the software Brickstore to export as a pdf or other
formats to have more data of each item visible.

since updates from bricklink are super slow/never happen for some things the
best workaround is to first upload the file into brickstore which will then update
all the numbers and then you can redownload the file and it should work properly

While uploading a partlist with old IDs (pre-part variant merge), the parts with
IDs that changed cause the partlist to fail import. While it's annoying to
go through the XML to correct these errors, it's at least a solution. However,
it feels like a huge missed opportunity to not be backwards compatible at all.
The upload tool should either automatically correct these errors or to at least
suggest the corrections.

However, more egregious is that when you import such a partlist into Studio as
a part palette, the import silently ignores these old part IDs without giving
any error or warning. The parts will just be missing from the palette, causing
confusio

Hi team I'd like to make a suggestion. For those who are using Android/Chromebook
and Ipad, it would be great to have a version of Stud IO/Part designer that would
work on those devices unless it's already the case and I don't know it.

Hi again and again...

Without official news from the side of Bricklink (Again), I was wondering if
it's
not simpler to create a tool for Canadian seller to create "region on shipping
methods regarding the province of the Buyer.

By example: A seller from Quebec (Like me) will only need to create 4 shipping
methods.
- 5% GST for AB/BC/MB/NT/NU/SK/YK.
- 13% HST Ontario
- 14.98% GST+QST Quebec
- 15% HST for NB/NL/NS/PEI

But the catch is that the buyer only see the shipping methods corresponding to
his residence Province. Like that a buyer from Quebec will only see the Quebec
shipping method, an Ontarian will only see the Ontario one, etc.

Personally, I think it shouldn't be too difficult to "filter" the
buyers with their province. When they create their account, they choose their
Province in the address. The province is already stock in the database for each
Canadian account.

On the buyer side, he could assign the shipping method a new kind of region selection
in the section Destination & Base rate. If you find something much simpler to
allow the Seller to filter by province, let's go !

On the picture, an example of what it could look like

For now, I have 4 shipping methods instant checkout like in my example, but it
is the buyer who needs to choose the right one and many, ... many times they
simply
choose the default one who was the one with the cheaper charges. In that case
it is the 5% taxes who covered only the GST.

By hoping, something will happen in the near future.

Best regards

MEAD BRICKS

P.S. English is not my first language

No.
It's optional, you can't enforce an option.

"Feedback is how you let other members know how well a transaction went."
So, if you're not interetsed to let other members know, you don't have
to.

Completed - same.

Buyer PAYS for some goods, seller ships, buyer receives, he's happy, he's
nothing else to do.

I don't believe they are asking BrickLink to force the buyer to do anything,
simply send them a reminder email if an order isn't marked Completed and
feedback has not been left. I go through my filed order list at intervals and
send reminder notes to buyers as such:


Greetings!

We were archiving older orders, and see that yours was never set as completed,
and feedback wasn't left. We'd appreciate your feedback on our transaction,
as it lets other Buyers know the level of service we provide, and we do strive
to provide excellent customer service. Thank you.

Maddening isn't it? I think 60% feedback ratio is status quo. I've
been looking at buyer feedbacks a lot lately and there are some people out there
with 2000+ who have never left feedback for anyone else.

Personally I find reminder to leave feedback emails to be very annoying.
