Disappear after placing their orders. Nearly 13% of all orders from 0 feedback
buyers.

Have had a spurt of these over the last couple of months - IC is not the answer
for us we need another tool or option, perhaps where we can set a minimum feedback
level for a buyers first order - an option of course and that would allow stores
to choose rather than Bricklink.

Have 2 issues wuth this really. The first is when trying to follow the link in
the eail bl sne I get the below


And the 2nd is I do not wwant my detials at lego.com linked top my Lego id th8ey
are 2 seperate acounts and need to stay that way. One is for personal use and
other is for our store.



They could easily use a lookup table in their code to match the 2 and save all
this Hassle

Sometimes people who believe they are doing something genuinely helpful do not
really take the time to think these things through.

Lookup table BL ID = 1 ;ego id = 2 - Not exactly rocket science.

both the save as pdf and print to pdf feature. If you try saving to pdf the text
is minute even scaled up to over 200% and if you print to pdf the text is not
editable as it should be or was.

Thank you Microsoft yet again - does anyone there know what they are doing ????

They have never been able to accept they lost the universal document battle to
adopbe and pdf's. XPS is totally useless - Come back BIll - all is forgiven

Our inventory is in direct proportion to this little chart and has been for many
years. It will be differnt breakdowns by different regions, store specialisation
etc.

Our product families are our own internal 1 level up from Bricklink categories
e.g Bricks equals all the sub undeer bricks e.g modified, round etc.

Anybody else produce data like this? I am pretty sure qwertyboy does - right
Niek ?

NO longer supports windows 7 (all 100 million + of us)

Not the best decision Windows 10 and 11 are two of the most invasive products
Microsoft has ever produced - we won't be changing os just to accommodate

Some time ago we parted out 8 Small super hero sets which, in theory gave us
8 sh077 minifigs

They sat in our inventory f0r a while until someone bought 2 of them. We shipped
them out along with some other bits and got a message back from the buyer that
1 of the sh077's had an incorrect hair piece. He included a photo which clearly
shows item 92081 rather than 98726. We could not understand how that happened,
so we went to the other 6 and 2 of those also had what appears to be an alternate
hair piece. No mention of this anywhere that I can find - should there be an
alternate or a note

Prices and new complications added to their pricing structure. Europe now has
zones . Standard large letter up to 100g is now 1.45 rather than 1.29 which
is a 12% + Hike.

Things are going to get very expennsive and complicated/

It wasn't bad enough adding vat onto everything now the surrounding services
are going to go up significantly

Good fun really. Life is always a challenge.

Product Family (Bricklink)

The vast number of categories that Bricklink incudes is great In some ways and
not so good in others. If you want to do a category analysis you will need lots
of paper or disk space and quite honestly it doesn’t make that much sense.

What we have done externally is set up groups of categories say for Bricks you
have modified, round, decorated etc. The same for Slopes, Tiles, Technic etc.
Our sales analysis automatically puts stats into each group as we sell items.
We have 10 families which is enough for us. We can drill down in each category
and get to the specifics e.g how many modified bricks did we sell at what value
etc, and from that we can look at individual parts.

Over our 11 years it has worked fine and gives us what we want and need. – In
inventory management terms it is like having a hierarchy where there isn’t one.

This is what we meant in our earlier post ' A Few questions'

What, if anything, do you use the following for:

1. Superlot
2. Unsorted lots
3, Do you use tiered pricing if so do you need all 3 levels or do you need a
different approach to this
4. Would you use an overall trade discount (for example by buyer)
5 What about setting min and max stock levels by item or type
6 Would you like a product family grouping capability where you define which
categories go into each e.g. Bricks as a family would include all brick subcategories,
etc.) The same for tiles, slopes etc. Kind of like creating a hierarchy outside
the catalogue
7 Would you use a separate field for your item location (rather than remarks)
8. How would you like to deal with your inventory costs (Would you use LIFO,
FIFO or weighted average - ((LIFO - Last In First out; FIFO - First in First
Out))

Very interested in comments/thoughts

I know what the system uses it for but I am curious as to what sellers use it
for. It is unique per item (Item, colour, and condition). It has been around
since Dan put the software together (from an auction house system)

Just curious - if it wasn't there would that be a problem ?

I cam think of a couple of uses but they aren't all that important. Would
you want to track by lot (Cost analysis??)

Anyone know what has happened to the XP project ? With MP gone, has this died
or is it still simmering on the back burner?

Never see anything on the forum about xp issues so I presume it is either not
being used or is code perfect (I seriously doubt that)

Just some food for thought.

There was a rumour at one stage that it was being rewritten

Currently due to Bricklink policy of 'must have onsite payment method enabled'
no store without that function can sell to anywhere in the USA. We would like
to suggest (not a formal suggestion yet) that BL splits the US shipping destinations
to with sales tax and without, so those of us who do not have onsite payments
enabled can still sell to the (9 states currently). We appreciate this will probably
change as everyone tries to get on the bandwagon - but because you cannot currently
remove an individual state this is not possible - we have had half a dozen enquiries
this month for shipping to USA - all from states with sales tax, unfortunately

On the other hand eliminating a large part of the market based purely on payment
method does not make good business sense. You can collect the sales tax in a
more conventional method - like bill us for it., or is that too difficult .
