| Losing order items when changing pages if I forget to 'add to cart' first.
For chumps like me, how about a reminder pop-up, or 'Add to cart' next
to each item?

| Hello BrickLink Managers,
I know you're working hard but, as for the New Layout.....
Everything I wanted to see at first glance is on that classic front page. I spend
hours a day working on my site and I'm all over that page. I would prefer
not to have to keep changing pages....it just adds to the time I need to work.
The first thing I check is messages either to see them or send them. Then I go
to Catalog to add parts or figures. Later, before end of day all of my orders
are out that can be out. Please don't change it; it's not broken and
in my humble opinion it doesn't need fixing. The old format was an inspiration....at
least to me.
Thank you,
Nancy, Sierra Trade

|
| I think it would be very useful to be able to have separate email addresses for
your buying and selling activities.
I operate a store but also have wanted lists and buy from time to time and being
able to separate the various emails to different addresses would be helpful.
e.g.
To the "Buying" email address:
Any messages regarding orders you placed e.g. Invoices etc.
Wanted list notifications
To the "Selling" email address:
Any messages regarding orders received e.g. invoices, payments
Emails about Fees
Perhaps there could even be a configuration page for users to select which emails
they would like to go to which address?
Yes you can probably achieve this with filters on your email client if on a PC
but not sure about phones and other devices.
Thanks,
Steve

|
| Funny, I was thinking about it this morning and then received an e-mail that
the main Dutch second hand trading website Marktplaats.nl has just implemented
it: iDeal as a payment method.
This is not as much a major issue as supporting IBAN, but still it would be really
nice thing if BL would choose to add iDeal. More than 300,000,000 transactions
the Netherlands per year, most Dutch people are comfortable with it and use it
regularly. The Netherlands is a large country on Bricklink, so I think that if
it is not hugely complicated to implement, it would be a really good upgrade.
And, for the Bricklink team probably very nice: It is an onsite, instant checkout
compatible payment method.

|
| Maybe I somehow missed it, but it looks like there's no way to modify checkbox
settings for entire lists of inventory detail pages at once. I now delete zero
quantity lots by clicking tons of "delete" checkboxes.
Shouldn't there be checkboxes for this at the top of the page? I've made
a picture of what I mean. It seems likely to me it already exists and I just
fail to find it, if so please point me to it, otherwise, let's add it?!

|
| Hi, in the section Catalog/Statistic there's a old feature "top sold".
The feature seems a little bit buggy, because if you search "top sets sold" the
full result list contains mainly minifigures, parts and accesories.
Anyway, the resulting list is limited to few rows, compared to the catalog.
The complete feature for searching all the sold sets/minifg ordered by historical
total sell count could be a great help both for buyers and sellers.
The cherry could be the drill-down in detail of any record to see the chart (or
the plain data to keep it simple) showing the sell counts over year (or quarters),
or only the best and worst selling period in the set life.
Example:
PAGED LIST OF THE HISTORICAL SETS SELL COUNT, ordered by bestsellers, filtered
per year range.
In addition, after clicking on the set 7621 Indiana Jones we discover the sells
count distributed over the time from 2008 to 2017.

|
| Hi,
I have a couple of suggestions to improve usability of the Wanted List feature:
One of the things that would really make life easier for me is to be able to
group Wanted Lists. Say like this:
Wanted List Group: Cars
- List: Ferrari California
- List: Peugeot 205 T16
- List: Porsche 911
Wanted List Group: Jets
- List: F-14 Tomcat
- List: F-15 Strike Eagle
etc, etc. It can be purely cosmetic in the UI. So I don't want extra functionality
for groups. At least for now 
Another request would be to have a quick filter (checkbox?) to hide completed
wanted lists. I know I can sort lists on completion, but hiding them can still
be useful.
Thanks for considering these options!
A happy user!
Bert

|
| Most of my first time customers have said that they had difficulty finding the
pieces they wanted when first coming to Bricklink. Perhaps a link on how to navigate
the catalog or use the wanted lists, or a guide as to how to learn what piece
you need on the main page may be useful to people first coming to the site. I
believe this should be prominent.
And the "How do I find Items?" page is not what I'm thinking about. Maybe
a short youtube video explaining where the numbers are on Lego pieces, what they
mean and how to look for pieces you don't actually have. ie set inventories.
Thanks for considering,

|
| The site map on the old My BL page was quite handy and must more condensed than
the full site map.
I would like to suggest that it be added to the new page in some form. Maybe
a button that when clicked opens/expands the old map without changing pages,
if possible.
Also, the new page is nice to look at, but it has too much empty space leading
to unnecessary scrolling. Only half of the page is displayed on a 22" monitor
w/o scrolling, whereas before 3/4 of the page was displayed with 100% of the
major info on one.

| in oppose to some previous comments i've seen, i actually like the New My
Bricklink Layout.
it's bigger and easier to navigate, props to BL on always trying to improve.
my suggestion is:
with a larger New My Bricklink page, maybe it's possible to add a notification
for "replies made to my forum comments"
right now if i write a forum comment i save it on my browser so i could later
check to see if my questions or comments were addressed- perhaps if there was
a notification available it might be easier.

so here's a follow up.
Quote from QA_Sheryl:
| | We would love to hear some constructive feedback about what you do not like about
the new My BL page. Without specific complaints we aren't able to make the
new page advantageous to users that don't currently like it. Please feel
free to contact the help desk with any suggestions for improvements.
|
The original post was right on the point: there is nothing to fix. The "old"
My BrickLink page is quite fine the way it is.
Seriously, there is nothing to fix there, please don't fix what isn't
broken.
The old page is highly practical: we can _immediately_ see everything we need
to know, and obviously without having to scroll anywhere. And on the same page,
without having to scroll, there's this very useful table of all links to
all of BrickLink. What else could one ask for? It's perfect.
The only thing that's broken with the "old" My BrickLink page is the huge
banner on top the messes up both the horizontal and vertical spacing. That could
be fixed.

| Is it possible to make a version of BrickLink Studio for
Virtual Reality? VR is the ideal platform for Lego
building, especially with VR hand controllers allowing
you to snap Lego bricks into place.
It also would be fun to build Lego together online
with Facebook friends, and shrink down to play/socialize with Facebook friends
inside Lego houses/sets.
And you should also be able to upload/download Lego sets to an
online Lego library.
Thank you for considering making BrickLink Studio for VR!

|
| Since January i have the same part bought 3 times now by a new buyer and i get
no reply on invoice or messages....
This time it is Jeremybryan , regitered on August 11 and placing the order within
10 minutes.
Never logged in since and as said above no reaction on invoice, message or email...
I started and will cmpl the NPB incl a negative Feedback.
Only bad thing is that within the system the parts are stuck for a min of two
weeks.....even three weeks if he/she reply's to the NPB with a "bogus" message.
In my eyes this procedure should be a lot shorter,
My suggestion would be:
-Make starting the NPB possible after 3 days instead of 7!
-Make completing he NPB possible after 3 days of starting it.
-If buyer reply's to the NPB within the three days then make completing it
possible 3 days after that.
This way the parts are not stuck so long.
It's especially annoying wenn the new buyer doesnt log in inbetween the order
and the completion of the NPB.
It's a cmpl waste of time.

even after 6 months. While that's all fine and dandy, the number next to
Orders, will never ever decrease now. I always thought it was silly that Cancelled
orders was summed up in that number, but ignored it as they'd disappear in
6 month anyways. But now they don't get purged, and that number will never
be able to hit 0 again. Can we make that number ignore cancelled orders? Or maybe
ignore filed orders?

I would like to see quotes highlighted like invoices are, so that when a quote

I do find value in them, so please those that hate them or wish for them to go
away, please respect this and reserve your negativity for another location and
stay away from this post - we all do business in our own way - thank you.
So it would be good that when I click on the store I get the following messages:
X orders not invoiced
x orders not shipped
x feedback not completed
x quotes not quoted
Thank you,
Kind regards,

|
| I suggest that these two messages should be consistant.
That is, if the seller does not ship to my country, the message on the store
should be:
"Seller does not ship to your country."
That way, correspondence can ensue to find a shipping location mutually acceptable
to both parties.
USPS has GREAT tracking at low price.
If a person is stop listed, the message can remain:
"Seller does not ship to you"
Teos does NOT ship to Canada, at last check I am not personally stop listed by
him, so this is a good example.

Twice in the last day I have sent an email to a seller asking for a quote and
then have then change the price of the item. It's making me want to just
put through the order and then cancel if I don't like the shipping terms.
Bricklink really needs to swings towards the buyers in terms of usage. Take
care of the buyers and things work out better for the sellers. Catering to the
sellers just creates a poor buying environment.
And, of course neither seller will honor the price that I was asking for a quote
on. Of course not. If the thing is in my cart waiting for a shipping quote,
they shouldn't be able to change the price.

| My suggestion is for invoices for new users to automatically go thru the BL message
system (as well as email). This may cut down new users not seeing invoices in
their email for whatever reason.
I don't see that receiving BL invoices via the message system & email is
labeled as the default setting, so I thought I'd suggest it.
The on/off button is currently found in the My Settings: My Contact Settings
section.
There can be a link to disable the feature within the message.
I really like having this feature on at all times, but I can see how some may
find it bothersome.

|
| Hey folks!
Buyers can't see their cart weight unless they enable some obscure option.
Why is that option even not enabled by default? Why can't I, as a seller,
force buyers to see their cart weight in my store?
This means that if buyers aren't aware that this option exists, they have
to guess the weight, ask the seller continuously as they add batches, or request
a bunch of quotes.
Why force this upon ourselves when the website can automatically do it for us?
I suggest we allow sellers to show cart weights to their buyers, even if the
buyers haven't enabled that option.

| Hey folks!
I think this option is counter-productive for buyers. (See image below)
Sellers are allowed to turn off the display of cart weight in their store, even
if the buyer has chosen to see cart weight.
This means that if buyers are cost-of-shipping-sensitive, they have to manually
calculate the cart weight, or ask the seller for a quote.
Why force this upon ourselves when the website can automatically do it for us?
I suggest we force sellers to have the weight of cart shown within their store.

the maximum shipping costs before the final checkout.
Let me display an example:
The buyer Alice orders parts which weigh 80 grams. The seller Bob states that
the shipping costs are 3 EUR up to 100 grams and 4 EUR up to 200 grams. Bob means
the TOTAL weight while from Alice's point of view the weight of packing materials
is unknown and never stated. This way Alice doesn't know the final price.
(Btw. I suppose it is against the EU law.)
Once I have come across such a case that in seller's opinion the maximum
net weight of parts was about 30 grams to keep the total weight below 100 grams!
Is it fair and clear?
I can see the following solutions:
(i) suggest the buyers to state their shipping costs precisely, in terms of net
weight of parts or dimensions of parts
(ii) apply automatic calcultion of maximum shipping costs on the checkout page
so that the seller couldn't apply higher costs.
The latter one is much better.

| When you click on an item in a store at present, you go first to the small image,
then have to click again to get a large image. Why not go straight to the large
image?
If your goal is to go to the item in catalog, the picture you go to first makes
no difference.
If your goal is to see a bigger picture of the item, you still have to click
again, why not go straight to larger picture?

| hi
not sure if this has been suggested before
I have been a member for a while but only recently started buying lego off here
and I like to keep track of what lego I have but its a pain writing it all down
when I buy lego, as you have an inventory for sellers I think it would be a good
idea to have one for buyers.
as orders arrive I would like to be able to add it to my inventory and also see
a total amount I have of that lego piece next to each item when in a shop, so
it tells me how many Technic, Liftarm 1 x 7 Thick, Black, next to the qty that
the seller has if that makes sense?
not sure about anyone else but this would make it so much easier for me as I
then don't have to keep checking if I have that lego piece when im looking,
this will help me decide if I need more of that lego piece or if I have enough
of them for now and stop me maybe ordering the same pieces from 2 different stores
days a part when I place orders
thank you

I don't use the forum very often, but was on yesterday and was annoyed by
the amount of spam that was flying around offering passports etc.
Can i suggest that the forum is restricted to members who have received some
(one) positive feedback for either a purchase or sale.
This would prohibit people from just registering and posting SPAM.

| There are people putting a very rare and expensive part at a very low price in
a super-lot in order to attract people.
That is imho unfair, but permitted.
This also spoils the average price in a terrible way. There should be a simple
option in which you can EXCLUDE super-lots as much as you can exclude incomplete
sets.
The System is already able to find out if a lot is part of a super lot, so that
should be super-easy to implement, and would really help a lot.

|
| It can take a lot of scrolling to find my price/quantities in the price guide
overview.
I always use 'sort by price and group by month' (consolidated currencies).
These options should remain.
So my suggestions for the price guide of a part in a certain color:
-As a seller I would like to see my data (price and quantities) at the top part
of the screen, or at the top of a month.
-Most of the time I am not immediately interested in each separate entry (sold
or available). I would prefer an overview of quantities per price. So instead
of seeing 10 separate entries for each transaction where the part sold for 0.01,
there would only be one entry per price. This will hopefully shorten the overview
somewhat.
--condense/collapse the separate entries to one per price
--it should be possible to click on the condensed/collapsed entry to see
all individual entries

electronically delivered custom model instructions.
However, at the moment, I cannot differentiate these electronic instructions
from actual paper instructions. I am not allowed to set the weight to zero grams
or selecting a checkbox that these are electronic. How will this be handled during
instant checkout with causing some sort of error?
Please allow for an option for sellers of custom instructions to be able to allow
instant checkout.
There are other sellers who use Bricklink for selling these and would benefit
from this implementation. It would also cause less issues and confusion if this
is properly handled. Lastly, this will draw more sellers of custom instructions
to sell through Bricklink instead of other venues.
Thank you for the consideration.

then the used (in correct order) would be after the new. It would be soooo helpful

|
| Please combine the catalog categories on one category:
Bionicle
Hero Factory
Large Figure Part
(and even a few bionicles parts that are for some reason stuck in the technic
category when they are used for nothing other than bionicles).
Then, sub-divide that category into several smaller categories such as:
Head, Mask, Torso, Limb, Foot, etc.
There is no reason to have these three categories. Large amounts of a part found
in one category is used by another. For example, some Hero Factory parts are
used in more bionicle figures than Hero Factory. And wading through any of those
three categories even in their current state in order to find something is almost
ridiculous.

There is already a large list of unreleased sets on bricklink. There is no reason
why more should not be allowed to be added, so that bricklink can remain the
most complete Lego database. (Otherwise, what's the point to even having

these sets can be fully made from the released pieces).

| Some sellers don't have anything listed in the terms and conditions and nothing
listed in thes shipping section. Instead everything is posted in their splash
page. This gives those sellers the ability to change their terms and shipping
rates at anytime without the buyer being able to go back and look at the terms/shipping
when they made their purchase.
The only method to prove what the terms were is to make a screenshot of the splash
page when the purchase is made. Then the burden of proof is on the buyer to
prove that the screenshot was the terms/shipping policy when the purchase was
made.
Please start keeping a history of the splash page. For sellers that externally
host their splash page maybe and automatic daily screenshot can be captured and
retained as the terms/shipping policy for the day.

be like many other well-known sites that like to buy something immediately pay

| Consider allowing a user preference to exclude the On-Hand quantity of an item
when searching a store for items on the wanted list.
Scenario:
I have multiple wanted lists with a total of 6 of 1x6 white plates on them
I have previously marked two of these plates on one wanted list as "have"
Search a store and locate that item in the store
Bricklink on that item line tells me I have a total of 6 on my wanted list with
2 "on hand"
When I click the Auto-fill min option bricklink places a quantity of 6 as the
minimum on the item.
I would like the option to exclude the on-hand quantity thus placing a quantity
of 4 on the item line.
Logic is that I have 2 on hand, so why would I want 6 more (only need 4 more)

|
| Suggest adding brick weight field to the catalog.
I have observed that a buyer cannot tell if a seller has been reasonable in calculating
the shipping costs for an order until they have received the bricks, at which
point it is too late to question it as the order is paid.
In at least two cases I've had a seller overcharge for shipping and fees
by using packaging which is unreasonably heavier than the bricks being shipped.
The only option available to the buyer in this case is to give negative feedback.
If the catalog included brick weight then the buyer could make an informed choice
before paying and negative feedback could be avoided.

Bricklink could have the SUBMIT button (i.e. for SEARCH) centered instead of
right justified, this would enable me to not have to scroll.

|
| Suggestion from Matt of White Horse Bricks, in response to my query below:
It would be great if they could be listed against each other as 'alternate
part numbers' in the same way as some parts do.
It would need to be in a way that the search engine and wanted lists point to
both so that people searching in sets get the part listing and vice versa.
Original Question from OOO_Shiny:
I have several new, sealed power functions pieces. They have a set number, and
then a different part number, but it is the same single item.
Examples
contains only
and
contains only part
If a buyer is looking for the part, will the single part set also appear? If
not, how do I suggest an addition to the listings pointing out that they are
the same?
Also an issue for

| I use wanted lists and wondered if the following could be added.
1. The option to add a image to individual want lists.
2. The option to set sort order of want lists and for it to remember the order
3. The facility to group different want lists together
Thanks for taking the time to read.

| A lot of sites let you click on a tracking number and it takes you right to that
carriers tracking page and shows where your item is. Maybe bricklink could have
sellers "choose a carrier" and then put in the tracking number. Bricklink could
turn that tracking number into a link on the order page. Not sure how all the
fancy stuff works but I didn't see this suggested and it would be really
nice to not have to open a new window all the time.

| Hello, Admins
I sell all the parts from sets, but keep the minifigs.
Would it be possible to add a third option to the "Price Guide\Part Out Value\Include"
drop down that excludes the minifig parts?
This will allow me to obtain an average price for only the parts of a set and
sell them as one lot.
Many thanks and regards,
Dan

all the big professional business sellers. Dare I say it some may even be willing
to pay a subscription to keep it the old way and this 'Pro version' !
all the new lists, bulk buy - quick buy thingys and new wanted lists for 'Bricklink

any of these ideas lol
But I know how Bricklink are trying to get us to embrace new changes a little
bit and I know change is sometimes really hard to take. Especially for some
of the long time users that run as a full on professional business, may find
it really difficult.
Instead of forcing it upon all members. Maybe make it that all new members that
register from say 1st June will not get access to old lists etc, they will only
see the new lists and they will not even know any different!

|
| I don't know if changes to the Bricklink database are even possible, but
I think this would really benefit Bricklink and their vision for the stud.io.
Part variants was one of the problems with sourcing parts for the MOC shop, and
it will be again for stud.io. Users who create a model and want to order the
pieces don't have any efficient way to look for different suitable variants
of a part. It can make a big difference for price and availability.
I suggest that a new "variant" field be added for catalog parts, wanted lists
and store inventory. This would be an attribute similar to the color. It could
be left n/a if the variation hasn't been identified or isn't important.
Or it could be selected a, b, c etc. to specify a particular one.
Unlike the color, variant "a" would have a different meaning for each part. This
would be captured in the part description and pictures.

|
| I've just closed my store, and went to verify my closed message, and instead
saw the 29 minute doomsday message any prospective buyers would see, with zero
inventory to choose from in the highly likely event an active shopper was not
finished shopping.
If my understanding of the logic is correct, this situation would be unpleasant
for anyone whose shopping is interrupted -- 29 minutes and you're stuck
with what you have and no more, i.e. do you want the present unfinished cart
(assuming quantity changes are allowed) or not?
Above is a BrickLink administrator message, and not mine. My closed message
is simply, "Please contact me if needed to finish up an order.".
While no closure interruption is pleasant, I believe my approach is more courteous
than BrickLink's take-it-or-leave-it one.
If I've misinterpreted the added process (Do Store Settings work yet?), apologies.
I suggest allowing sellers to open and close our stores without having to explain
ourselves to BrickLink (e.g. "Other"), and letting us handle potentially interrupted
shoppers, rather than giving them 30 minutes to take-it-or-leave-it.

| The implementation 'Items count in selected shop screen' (Apr 27, 2017

Now you show Unique lots and Total lost (Example: 51 Unique Lots / 51 Total Lots)
My suggestion was Total Lots and Total Items (Example: 51 Total Lots / 230 Total
Items)

| We would like to see the following additional sorts added to the find stores
screen.
Please see images - the first two are what we have now. The 3rd image is what
we would like to see as an improvement/enhancement.
This would very much help to gauge where you were as a store in comparison to
others. The current sorts are okay, but adding these will give the stores a real
opportunity to compare themselves with stores of similar size etc.
This is not a massive code change - the query that gest the underlying data for
all existing sorts simply have an "ORDER BY" command associated with them.
Please note we are well aware how frequently that data changes but that really
doesn't matter for the purposes this serves.

|
| Hello Everyone,
In June of last year, we introduced a new Wanted List upgrade. This upgrade came
with a newly-designed buying experience which focused on the necessity to compare
and plan out multiple carts at once, as well as make it easier to manage multiple
lists.
Since BrickLink's Wanted List is a core feature for most users, we currently
provide the classic version for members to use as a backup in case there are
glitches with the new version. This is intended to be a temporary solution.
The classic version of the Wanted List feature will become unavailable on
June 5, 2017. At this point, we have ensured that the new version of the
Wanted List covers all desired functionality (plus more) from the classic version.
If you have any issues with the new version, please let us know as soon as possible.
Thank you for the continued support, bug reports, and helpful feedback as we
continue to roll out important changes.
Sincerely,
Jaclyn
BrickLink Customer Support

|
| As mentioned in the previous suggestion - we are all waiting on either details
of the sales tools in the next update or the launch of that update, whichever
BL decide to provide. Yesterday I put a suggestion forward for a different type
of view on the price guide which would make our lives much easier. Hopefully
that will garnish enough support to at least get noticed.
Today we want to talk about another very nice addition to the price guide when
trying to use it to determine what you wish to part out.
Currently if you visit Brickset you can find on their full screen inventory view
a summary of the items in each set by category and colour. Unfortunately they
are not the Bricklink categories nor colours, so it takes a little while to convert
that. Please see their summary of set 75030 (image 1).
I have converted that to a Bricklink summary (image 2), which is already in the
system as data and just needs a new view or query set up for us to see it and
use it.
In addition it would be really helpful if when you ask it to part out a set to
determine its value and how many of the items you already have in your inventory
if it not only told you the totals, but to be able to click on that link to see
what individual parts you would be adding or need to complete that set. This
is shown in red in image 3. Make it clickable.
Hope all of this is clear. If not please add your thoughts. Lets get the most
we can out of the catalogue -a fter all we all contribute to it.

| We would like to see some changes to the way the price guide can be viewed whilst
waiting for the site update to take place for this area. Currently for those
that use the guide to check prices on items you have to go back and forth between
the 'choose page' and the detail page. So, if you have or want a variety
of say part 2420 in different colours you can spend some time going through the
process to see all the data and then once you have seen it all, unless you write
it down you cannot remember all the info you had to take in.
If an option was available to view 'all colours, for example' you could
have all the information you need in one place. See example. The link at the
end of the table would provide the demographic date for the colour chosen, if
, again for example you wanted to see the prices in the UK for example.
Comments?
(The figures in the example are all fictitious).

|
| Hello,
I just downloaded Stud.io 1.0.0.x, having tried the beta some time ago. Here
are some remarks:
(1) the very first brick I wanted to use in a model built earlier, using LDD,
was not available, although I have bought real copies on the BrickLink: 24309
slope, curved, 3x2, no studs. It's not in LDD, but that is precisely one
of the reasons for using Stud.io: parts that LDD no longer supports.
(2) it takes a very long time for a part description to pop up when one hovers
over its image in the part browser. This tooltip-delay should be settable in
the preferences. I want it to be 0.
(3) interface transition animations should be user-settable to OFF. An example
is the inertia scrolling in the parts browser. They waste my time, lose my attention
and heat up the computer. All animations make me nervous.
(4) 3D rotation of the camera by right-click-and-drag is the other way from what
it is in other 3D programs I use. This direction should be settable in the preferences.
(5) in the macOS version there are several behaviours not according to the usual
Mac interface: option-drag should duplicate, close buttons on windows and palettes
should be at the left not the right, etc.
(6) It is unclear what the camera rotates around. I prefer it to rotate around
the selected items or at the very least to have a choice. This is important
when inspecting a complex technical build close-up. Maybe I missed a setting.
(7) I usually want separate windows for separate models, I positively dislike
applications that put documents in tabs on a single window. Fortunately, for
Stud.io this is not such a nuisance.
One good thing: it no longer hogs my CPU.
Thanks for making it available for free, and keep improving it,
Robert C.

|
| Dear members,
I just tried to get an overview by my current orders checking my want list(s).
If you want to apply your order(s) to the wish list to count items you already
got with your orders you have to select order by order, its not possible to select
all orders and there is no function to prevent to apply 1 order two times.
Items which have not been listed in the want list are not added automaticly.
How is the best way to get a stock list summarising diffrent orders?
Hope to get some answers.
Pete
