Same, I see no difference. It's been this way as long I have been selling

Not sure I am liking the new drop down boxes on the Orders page since this morning...

I use a MAC and I find the frames and text are a bit too thin... Can hardly see
them especially when viewing the screen at an angle. Its all a bit of a blur!!
(I always stand next to my partner when picking orders, so am looking from an
angle).

The colours do help a bit. That's a nice touch that has been there for a while
when viewed on the iPhone.

Maybe the text in Bold please!! (pending, paid, shipped, etc... )

... just MyTwoPence Bricks ...

Am I missing something? I don't see any change on the orders page, both placed
and received look the same to me.

Maybe it because it's on a MAC, rather than a PC?

I see no difference, other than the new catalogue display when looking at parts...

This would be a really good time for you to be aware that, in all of my years
of 'playing' with LEGO, I have NEVER found a counterfeit set, with the
LEGO logo present on the studs, or even down to the seals on the packaging.

Yes, there are cases of sets being re-produced by the other CLONE brands (LEPIN),
but even they don't have the LEGO logo on the studs...

Which is why I suspect that you have been mis-led about the YouTube videos of
the box seals etc, purely due to the fact that the LEGO group has so many factories
around the world, all contributing to the production of the LEGO that we all
love.

Yes, there are cases of the slight differences between bricks/parts, which are
either production changes (Modified plates come to mind here), or are actual
quality control issues.

LEGO produced these days are of a slightly lighter/softer feel than those produced
10-40 years ago, again, a change done by the LEGO group, because they changed
the way that the plastic is used within the production of the LEGO parts...

I do believe that the Star Wars set that you have IS a genuine set, but because
you are probably remembering how LEGO had their sets when you were a kid, your
experience is saying that the LEGO you are now handing is 'inferior',
and therefore 'fake', but is actually the genuine article.....

Paul

It would be very helpful if you could include some horizontal lines (and possibly
an alternating light background shade) on the "Orders Placed" page between the
listed orders so the eye can easily track from the order number on the left to
the Status & Feedback fields to ensure buyers are changing the Status and adding
feedback to the correct order.

I can see each order without any issues.

Maybe you could change the contrast on your computer screen?

Paul

I cant see the difference in colours on mine either, id actually completely forgot
they were ever alternate colours, having a tiny store it isnt an issue for me
either.

But I will say this much, even though this one doesnt affect me, user changing
the computer screen contrast is inconvenient if the user has their monitor set
up to specific settings for a particular reason as it would have to be changed
back every time the other reason comes into play.

I personally dont see any harm in making lines available, even if its on an optional
toggle on/off basis from store settings, that way BL can very easily help users
out with no extra fuss

I'm beginning to think that this issue is actually limited to certain PC's.

I have a HP TouchSmart 300 PC, and the screen is actually a 20inch LCD one...

Colours are bright and are very noticeable...

Maybe having the ability to change the colour bars when on that particular page
will help?

Agree. I still don't understand the new BL's love for contrasting white
with extremely light gray. This applies to set inventories, part-outs, etc. as
well. It's hard to enough to sell Lego just having to figure out Light Gray,
Light Bluish Gray, Pearl Light Gray, Flat Silver...!

This tracking from left to right that you describe has become a kind of bottleneck
in my otherwise smoothly automated selling routine. It's a potential cause
for mistakes, it's tedious and there's no reason for it to be that way.

I can see each order without any issues.

I don't agree that a seller should be able to modify a listing date.

Aren’t sellers already able to do that by removing the lot then creating a new
one?

We can, but it takes time, and if I have the sheer amount that I have listed,
then it's a heck of a time consuming thing to do, so it's not feasible.

I do agree that the listing date does not need to be shown on the buyer's
WL data though.

Yes, I don’t see what it could be good for as it adds no information for the
buyer. (The lot may be old but the parts just added, or vice versa.)

Exactly what I am trying to convey, because such a showing of that data does
tend to imply that a part has been 'unsold' within my store since that
date, and I'm not adding more stuff, where in fact I have been.

The data should be updated to show when the listing of the part was 'added
to' with more stock, rather than having new notifications being sent each
time a store's inventory gets 'churned', which doesn't give a
proper level playing field.

(I've not used BrickStock or anything else like it, so for anyone to suggest
that I should do that, doesn't help as it means that more of my time is wasted)

Paul,

I believe that is for your information. I cannot see how long you have had an
item listed.

Jennifer

It's there, believe me.

Go to your wanted list.

select an item.

visit a store that has that item.

and you will see the date that item was 'added' to the store.

Date of parts listed within a store

Hi.

Is there any real reason WHY the date is shown when an item is listed within
a stores' inventory?

I've kept the option on when I've sold out of an item, it's retained
within my store's inventory, so that when I add more stuff, I know that of
the 2 listings that I have for that particular item (used and new), the USED
listing is always above the new, ensuring that I don't add used stock to
the NEW listing.

I can't understand why this option is there, but it does seem strange, because
when I'd first listed an item within my inventory 4 years ago, and have since
added more of that kind in the years between then and now, but to a Newbie buyer,
it will give the impression that my NEW stock is 4-6 years old, whereas it could
actually be 2 days old!

Can this feature be given the option of being updateable when new stock is actually
added to the retained listing?

Regards,

Paul
