  I sent several Messages to the help desk, admin@bricklink.com and even to support@bricklink.com
with screenshots and my probelm that we couldn't paid the monthly fees throught
the BL link.

No reaction too.



  I have send several messages to helpdesk but not any answer
But i cannot refer to these send-messages because of this bug

See:
http://helpdesk.bricklink.com/Main/Default.aspx


A separate helpdesk, separate MOC shop forum, separate Stud.io forum... I wish
everything would just be integrated into the main website.


Very interesting, never heard about this. (searched for a link but where????)
Is there a link from within Bricklink to this???

The first who can show me this link inside Bricklink (not from within MOC-shop
or Studio) will get a EURO 5.00 coupon . (valid only today)

regards,

Nico

  Unlike messages sent to any other member, messages sent to Admin or the BrickLInk
Help Desk through the BL message system are NOT sent to the sender or copied
to the sender's BL messages outbox. Please fix this so that they are. If
I send a BL message to Admin or the Help Desk, I would like to have a record
of that message here on BrickLink. Thus, it should be copied to my outbox just
like messages sent to any other BL member.

Still not working.

  You would be surprised how many people don't know how to write their own
address correct.
BL can't know, and show, the correct format for each country.

There are ways to have the address checked against postal databases for validity.
Various websites use them.

If BL where to verify only the USA, EU, Germany, France and the Netherlands (the
5 regions with most members), 92% of the addresses would be verified. While
I agree that BL cannot check every country, verifying 92% of addresses is much
better than 0%.

Buyers are responsible for the correctness of their own address.
If BL would use their database to check addresses there might be privacy laws
involved.

This is exactly the problem: Buyers are responsible for the correctness of
their own address.

But BL can and must give the tools to fill it in correctly. (BL cannot check
it)

Do you see the comma between dutch post(zip)code and city??? (also in other
country's like Belgium there is a comma) such commas can cause problems
while the post company's are reading your shipping's with character
recognition.

A Dutch address doesn't contain a comma between the zipcode and city:
https://www.postnl.nl/versturen/brief-of-kaart-versturen/hoe-verstuur-ik-een-brief-of-kaart/brief-adresseren/

So why is BL placing that comma in your address: (see:https://www.bricklink.com/pref_general.asp?rD=Y)

It doesn't. Perhaps you've entered the comma yourself.

you are Lucky
When you change your address the comma will be placed automaticaly


Didnt you not noticed the comma between the zipcode and the city in some of
your buyers addresses??

as a seller i have too make too much changes in buyers addresses
(a waste of time)
if an address is wrong/not in the right format there are more chances for delivery
mistakes

a new just arriving example:

John Doe
PO Box 999
Leichhardt
New South Wales 2040
Australia

I have to change it to:

John Doe
PO Box 999
Leichhardt NSW 2040
Australia

See: http://www.bitboost.com/ref/international-address-formats/australia/

@BL Please update the possibility's !!!!!

That's exactly what I mean.

if the buyer does not know and Bricklink does nothing to show the right address
How the seller should know????

The seller wants to avoid problems. If Bricklink there now helps with the correct
information it should go better.

BTW Not every order comes with paypal payment and logging into paypal to find
the correct address is unnecessary when the address is good in Bricklink

  Hi

I read that:

[REMINDER] The site will be down during the monthly maintenance scheduled at
06/22 from 01:00 AM to 02:00 EDT.



EDT?!?!?!?!??!

What is that????????

The international time definition is GMT - so this EDT does not tell me anything.

Please use an international timestamp, so people know when the site is down

The EDT time is at the bottom

  I see on this page:

http://alpha.bricklink.com/pages/clone/catalogitem.page?P=3001&idColor=7#T=S&C=7&O={"color":7,"cond":"N","ii":1}

that buyers can exclude from searches any and all stores that have any Minimum
Purchase amount.

I would like to suggest that this be tweaked so that buyers can input a dollar
value to exclude only stores that have a Minimum Purchase requirement greater
than the amount they input. As it stands now, ALL stores with ANY Minimum Purchase
amount (even if only $1) are excluded if the box is checked on this page.

Next, I would like to ask how many buyers actually check this box to exclude
any and all Minimum Purchase stores from their searches.

If many buyers exclude stores with any minimum purchase amount, sellers should
know this so they can possibly change. But I also think buyers should know that
if this is what they want, sellers are just going to require other things to
make orders worthwhile for them. These other things could be increased fees or
higher minimum shipping amounts. If sellers cannot price these costs into a minimum
amount of goods, they will charge them elsewhere.

I use this a lot and imo it is a very good tool when i only use a few items.

  I think a very useful new feature would be an inventory movement report, where
stores and possibly even buyers could look at inventory movements would be much
appreciated. This could help solve inventory problems, ensuring greater accuracy.

I would like the file to be downloadable to Excel or something similar. It should
contain the date and time of the entry, as well as the part number, quantity,
colour, remarks and any pricing information. It could also allow options to choose
any of the other elements used in setting up new items.

Anybody else agree?


go to My Bricklink Download (to TXT OR to CSV ) ????

  It may just be me, but I find it very difficult to view the messages in the Message
view, particularly if there have been many responses. It is just too difficult
to find any message, one must sort through hundreds of messages.

Having the Topic view is helpful, but once you click on the particular topic,
it is just downhill from there as far as looking through messages.

I have seen many Forum websites with a more user friendly design. They start
out with a General topic and then are broken down into subtopics. Once in the
subtopic, each thread would be listed - and the messages relating to that thread
could be found by clicking on the thread topic, which is the subject of the first
person to post the message. Replies to that message would then be found under
the first message in a logical to read order.

An example of this more user friendly layout can be found at big-boards.com or
many other websites.

Don't change anything !!! This Forum is just good the way it is. It is much better
then all the "normal" forums.
Here you can decide exactly the way you want to see it. Just do your best and
see first how this forum works.
