I don't mind the 1 week to pay before it is started. But another full 7 days
to complete the NPB is not necessary.
I would propose 3 additional days and that is it. Let us get our stock back
in our stores to sell to someone else instead of being held at our will for 14
full days when 10 is plenty enough.
I can't be the only one that feels this way and 14 days might have worked
10-15 years ago when access to Smart-Phones wasn't as widespread, but these
days, you can't go far without having the ability to respond. Thanks

| | Hello everyone,
I'm very pleased to announce that we have appointed a new Inventories Administrator,
to fill in the place that Marek left when he was promoted to Catalog Associate.
For this position we have selected member Paulvdb (Paul), whom many of you may
know as a catalog contributor, inventories contributor, and Forum participant.
He is also an established seller (since 2011, I believe) so many of you may know
him also through that channel.
Paul has distinguished himself especially by his work with older inventories,
sharing many sealed set contents data with the site for some of our precious
old vintage sets. We have found his contributions to be ultra reliable and think
he is going to do very well in this new role.
Congratulations are in order!

| | Hello,
After hitting a bug where Buy All failed to create orders that totaled my entire
Wanted List (and I didn't realize it until starting to build the models,
too late to ship another order before my time deadline!), I tried to place another
order but search for stores near me so I could pick up locally. I could find
no way to do this.
How about adding a "Stores near me" option in "Sort By" dropdown menu? It could
be based on ZIP code without compromising any store's address. As it was,
I had to manually compare the "284 stores found" list (after I'd limited
it to U.S. stores) with the dozens of stores in my state, finding only two that
matched.
From a programming perspective, it seems like this feature should be easy, with
a big payback in functionality of your wonderful website. And stores still retain
the option to share their address or not, as mine did, after a buyer Contacts
them.
Best regards,
ejv

This has been suggested before and hasn't been implemented because of privacy
issues and perhaps also because of the free market.
When a store is nearby it doesn't mean that the store accepts a pick up.
The easiest way is to send the stores a message.

The easiest way to manage is to enable the 'Items in order on Wantlist'
icon in the settings of the orders Placed page. A little scroll will appear.
It takes you to all bought items in that order.
Select the bought items and move all bought items into a new Bought Wantlist.
Then you can do a new search for the remaining items.

I think a new order is automatically added to an existing order if the first
order is not marked “paid” by the buyer or marked as “packed” or “ shipped” by
the seller.
If a seller has Instant Checkout enabled and you use an on-site payment method,
you can sort of avoid the merging of the orders.

Correct. Just pay the final invoice.

| | Hi,
as a buyer, I found having only two choices for parts condition is far too basic
and not useful, mostly for buyers, but also for sellers who seek accuracy and
honesty regarding their inventory.
I mean, for now a seller can only pick new or used, but pretty much everyone
has his/her own standard and I got some used parts which are like new, some others
which are closer to the one way ticket to trash, if you see what I mean .
It's not good nor practical to force seller to put actual picture(s) of all
the used parts, both hobbyist and professional has better use of their time I
guess.
Plus, asking for every single part before ordering is not good either, some sellers
didn't took time to reply to potential buyer's question already.
And when seller put description, it's quite subjective, one adjective is
far to describe actual shape of a part: "bite marks, yellowish", ok but how many
marks, how deep ?
how much "yellowished" is the brick ?
Some may claims "quite good", some other "I can't send them to trash".
A quality score could be added to a used part. It would be used as well to set
the sell price, as trash-ready used parts can lower the infamous "average 6 months"
and lower ALL prices, which is very unfair for like new parts.
Any thoughts?

Who will control the scores.

I think to avoid errors. The more different sets in one go the more likely to
have errors.
| | 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 use Brickstock and upload the file.

| | Hello,
Let's say a minifig is inventoried with a b-blocked style head.
Would a minifig assembly be considered complete if it has the alternate head
c-hollow style given that the this style head is technically only an alternate
part for the set inventory that the minifig came in and not the minifig itself.
Some minifig entries have a note saying something like: "This minifigure has
been found with both the 'b' and 'c' style head."
I would consider it complete, but I could see an OCD collector expecting the
'correct' head style per the BL figure assembly. Even if 'correct'
is just arbitrarily which ever style was found by the first user when adding
to the catalog.
Obviously, this only applies to figures produced during the great transition
period.

It is complete if it can come with an alternate head.

Sorry for my English. Is it an idea to make a personal catalog in Bricklink in

it that if I posted a suggestion in the BrickOwl Forum for a new seller feature,
it would be done in a matter of a few minutes (most likely). I hope this seller

Under the “Price Guide” tab there is a way to change the settings to see only

Can that also be applied to “Items for Sale?

| | It happens a buyer says he didn't receive the items. When shipping using
an untracked medium, there is no way in verifying if the claim is legit. So I
usually make no fuss and either refund the total order amount (including shipping)
or re-send it (if I have the items in stock).
In these cases, I sometimes get the feeling the buyer might have done this before
and actually has received the items. But as I said: there is no proof, since
no tracking. Then I wonder: "has this buyer done this in the past before with
other sellers?". There is no way in knowing. And that's why I think a buyer
should get some sort of parameter/rating stating the number of orders that were
refunded due to non-arrival. It seems like a small feature. Not really that important,
but if it were there, it would give some extra statistics in the long run as
well.

| | I'm new in this forum, please let me know if I should use a different topic.
I'm not getting through the currently available baseplates. How can I sort
by plate size in the Bricklink catalog? For example, how would I find out if
there is currently a 32x32 baseplate in (Light Bluish) Gray?
I find it hard to see through. E.g., the 48x48 plates are listed as part 4186,
but it says: Years Released: 1980 - 2016. If I'm looking for sets, for example,
the 10701 appears, which has been sold since 2015 and still is according to Lego
online store.
So the listing 4186 is incorrect in saying that there is no current 48x48 baseplate.
When I search baseplate in sets, no sizes are displayed, it can not be sorted
by year.
Thank you

Sort by 'Item name' and then order 'Up'.

| | Hello again everybody,
We mentioned last week that we were looking for a new Inventories Admin, and
I'm announcing today that we have appointed Randy (user randyf) to this position.
Randy is a very well-known contributor to the catalog, a frequent participant
in Forum discussions, and pretty much a person we couldn't imagine BrickLink
being without. He has contributed a large number of color-adjusted Lego part
renders which have helped define the look of BrickLink for the next generation.
And his work with PCCs is unmatched.
We are pleased and excited to extend these admin privileges to Randy and to welcome
him to our admin team.

Congratulations Randy.

I would like to see my Inventory Change Requests as it seems that the rejected
ones are deleted from my profile regularly. Some of them are rejected because
of the lack of proof and I would be able to do research for new proof for them
regularly.

| | Hello everyone,
We are pleased to announce that we have made another appointment. StormChaser,
who was appointed as Inventories Administrator last year, has now been promoted
to Catalog Administrator.
This is an important step for BrickLink. We haven't had a Catalog Admin appointment
for over nine years, and this is the first time someone has moved from the Inventories
side of the system to the Catalog side.
We believe StormChaser is highly qualified for this position. In addition to
an outstanding year as an Inventories Admin, he has had years of intense experience
with every area of the BrickLink Catalog. He has made many thousands of corrections,
uploaded an enormous amount of new data, and has solved a number of LEGO mysteries
over the years. So we're very pleased he has agreed to accept this position,
and we look forward to his activity in this new area.
We will be be making another appointment soon to fill his former position as
Inventories Administrator.

The 'note to seller' is also in the order confirmation email.
Do you read the confirmation email?
Perhaps the order of the order details page should be customizable. Then the
notes can be moved to the top between the Details and parts section.

Is there any way to indicate that the list of sellers should only be from 'My

that this filter be added?
Besides being happy with specific Sellers and therefore wanting to use them again,
I've also found that when I'm trying to put together orders, the slightly
higher cost of the item is often offset by the savings on shipping by keeping
the order to a smaller number of sellers. I find that I'm often scrolling
through the list looking for those specific sellers that I want on this batch
of orders.
