The 'stores' part of BL needs to be redesigned. I think that the site
itself is marvelous in all of the complex things you can do with it, but, the
storefronts need to change. It doesn't look good to new buyers, and you can't
expect all new buyers to go and read 2000 help pages, no one does that! They'll
just say 'this is too hard' and leave the site and forget about lego.

A lof of times I have found interesting things online that I might have purchased
if the site looked legit or was simpler. Buying hundreds of different parts is
difficult as is, we need to try to make it as less of a burden as possible for
a new buyer, so the learning curve is not as steep. You could start easy by buying
and then look into the "darker" parts of the site.

  Hi

It has been quite a while since I joined BrickLink, and for new members is there
any advice/info forwarded when joining (i.e ensure that you read the Sellers
Terms before Buying)

Just had a new member buy 1 part for 50p (UK), for delivery to Slovakia. Didn't
think he would buy once postage etc added.

Just had a message, thought it would be free postage.

Not a problem, as expecting it, but obviously he was not aware or made aware
of how Bricklink works.

Is such a thing in place or could it be added

Thanks

Change your setting so that buyers under 5 feedback have to use instant checkout.
It removes a lot of these problems.

Hi,

Thanks for this great service!
As customer, buyer only, I salute the fix done to part adding to wishlist, when
chosing some attribute reset other attribute.
Still, there are several things to be corrected according to my flow.
One would be the moving parts to another wishlist, when some part already exists
in the same colour and a message saying already exists prevents that. I would
need a button added to that message to add the number of selected parts to the
list, if I decide so (meaning I did not duplicated an entry by mistake, but I
need more).
Another is the maintenance page. It overrides the browser's history and I
loose the page were I was. Definitely, in each case, I need to go back to it
when the maintenance is done.
Please take into account these suggestions.

Thank you and best regards,
Mike

  Is there any reason why a function to part multiple unique sets can't implemented?
For example it would save a huge amount of time if I could sort all the lots
from three copies of five different sets and pack everything away once, rather
than having to go through the whole part out process five times.



You can do this in Brickstock, open two unique files and copy one into another.
you would have multiple sets in a single file to upload.

Perhaps you can change the way you work, because in my routine this is absolutely
no problem, and it's unlikely that Bricklink will change or upgrade anything.

Thank You.

Bumping. It would be nice to be able to download this info into an excel sheet.
It would make cross checking my records easier.
Thank You.

Hi there - voted no but need to explain. The part out log as it stands at present
isn't really much value. It needs to incorporate the transaction detail (which
it holds) before it would be worthwhile downloading it. The only thing it contains
at present is the set id and the date you parted it out.

But, again, unfortunately nothing is going on on the classic site whatsoever
- all development effort is being utilized on Bricklink XP (or whatever they
end up calling it).
