When adding a part via the "Add Item" page, the color of the part in
the picture does not match the color selected. This can be problematic when
adding multiple parts of different colors as well as ensuring the color or picture
exists.

While clicking on an increment or decrement button within a qty box, the scroll
capability should be disabled to prevent accidentally increasing or decreasing
qty. This can be especially annoying with a mouse that scrolls by touch, i.e.,

There is a button that says "Add Order Items to my wanted list" on the
order details page. This button adds the items that you just ordered to your
wanted list as "wanted" items. Why would I want the items I just ordered.
MVP for this suggestion:

- Have button to add items to wanted list "have" qty on order page
- Have ability to select which wanted list each lot is going to for multiple
wanted lists

Hello, dear developers and programmers of this site.

I have this problem.
I very often build different buildings from my parts and at the same time I use
your service to sort my parts from my Lego sets, but I REALLY miss sorting the
parts by color.

I would be very grateful if you could add such a function to the section on the
site where you can sort your parts from sets.
Thank you in advance!

Gonna express this here under suggestions, for lack of a better topic to use.
But no need to vote or take too serious

Just looking for candid feedback on
the idea of rebranding the sometimes divisive feature

As the Stop List is a unidirectionally action, I thought a more descriptive term
for the outdated and sometimes confusing phrase, could easily replace it. Some
other descriptor that would serve both buyer and seller better.

Decline Service List, Refuse Service List, Excluded from Service, Service
Exclusion List, or whatever you might come up with other than just “stop”

Just today’s over caffeinated thinking, and frankly not all that important. I
mean, ambiguous as stop sometimes comes across to the uninitiated here, the phrase
has been around a long time. There’s that to consider, but on the other hand
“don’t stop

improving” is a good mantra and attitude to maintain.

It would be awesome to filter the color palette by year to see what colors were
active. The introduced and retired data is already available on most colors in
the color guide, and it would be a cool way to browse the history of lego parts.
Would also really help in trying to collect particular eras of lego.

Filter Parts Catalog by Year

[Yes|No]

The catalog has long had the feature to see the parts intrdocued each year. What
is not available, however, is viewing all the parts in the palette for a given
year. Currently most parts have the year they were introduced and retired, but
the latter half of that data is not viewable in a list format as far as I can
tell. Being able to view the "active" catalog for each year would be
a great feature to browse Lego history.

This could also be extended to the other broad categories in the catalog, but
not sure the year data is as robust on those to be easily done.

A more complex version of this suggestion is that the active catalog view for
a given year should only include those parts appearing in sets for sale. Right
now it seems like the year data only accounts for the first and last appearance
of a part and not when it was truly active. But sets right now only have an introduced
date and do not have a retired date so it may be hard to figure out what was
actively for sale in a given year.

It would also be great to get as granular as the mold variation available, but
that is probably rather difficult with all the slight variations contained in
the same listing.

Hello!

I would like to formally ask for IDEAL as a payment method for the Dutch customer's

This payment method is long been the favorite for the majority in the Netherlands.

Currently there seems to be a limitation in Stripe to add this payment method
to instant checkout.

I did search on other topics related to this : but beside one I placed in the
wrong section;
the other topics are quite old.

So please do consider this small change in the stripe platform , it will be of
great benefit for all Dutch sellers and buyers a like.

It's a very safe , trusted, and recognizable payment platform that I'm
positive will also help with onsite instant checkouts (tax collection).

Kind regards

Refined store search by postal code or cities

I was wondering if the implementation of a search for stores that are nearby
is on the work bench?

I often hear of people around my city that would buy Lego parts, but don't
want to order them via mail.
Bricklink can be overwhelming for a mom who shops to replace parts the vacuum
cleaner ate!

Sometimes it's a few parts, then they become regulars.

They can pick them up at my door. Pay in cash. Easy-peasy.

I've had people that ordered and dropped by on their weekend trip too. Combining
fun and fun!

I also receive regular messages asking where I'm located (even if it's
stated in my top banner and store policies...)

I guess that search by province/state is OK... but a more precise way would be
better.

It could be on a voluntary basis... I guess some sellers don't want people
showing up at their door and that's ok. Could be a checkbox thing in the
store setting page.

I'm using a lot the functionnality of buying from wanted list and explore

But one information is missing along the process : when looking on what such
seller has among the items I want, I cannot see wether he puts any comment on
the condition of his items ! I'm totally blind ! So when browsing the results
with prices, I have no way to see if a part is cheap because really used or even
damaged...
The only way to see the comments is to systematically open another tab for each
seller, explore my wanted list through his store to see if there's any comments...
So totally manually...
As maybe not everyone would be interested by this information (especially if
buying New parts), that could be an option to tick, to display or not the comments
on the seller detail popup.

Proposal: Combined search for mold variants

Viewed:

99 times

Topic:

Status:

Open

Vote:

[Yes|No]

Hello,
I hope this is not a repetition of an already-posted proposal: in that case,
I'm sorry!

My idea came while searching for some pieces which have different mold variants
and that, correctly, are listed with a different code and page for each variant:
sometimes, however, some colours are available just for one or another mold,
or very rare for some of the different versions, while being the variants almost
indistinguishable, so it may happen that one user could be interested in all
mold variants AS IF they were of just one type, with the colour and quantity
availability grouped "as a whole".

While searching for pieces available in the stores, for example, there could
be a "MOLD VARIANTS" checkbox to allow the user, only if desired, to
look for all the pieces/colours inside that "group of mold variants".

A possible "group of mold variants" for "Bar 1L with Clip Mechanical
Claw" would include, for example:
- https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=48729#T=P
- https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=48729a#T=P
- https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=48729b#T=P
I've included the "undetermined type" too, as it includes all the
entries NOT considered in the other pages.

Thank you very much for your consideration,
have a great day
Giorgio

Formely I copy/pasted adresses, but for some years now I have to fill in an online
formular to ship abroad.

But addresses are unclear in some cases, especiallaly from South Korean and Chinese
customers.

So I often have to ask what-is-what, sometime building names, room numbers, steet
names and numbers come in one line - too long anyway to put in the formular and
in many cases impossible to untie.

This often gives a lot of extra communication and delays. The english language
or let me say my english language- is not allways understood.

It will also cause improper addressings.

So what I suggest is making a fixed format for addresses according to the standards
postal administrations use for their online fomulars.

So a line for street, a field for streetnumber, a line for building name, city,
provibce/region etc.

This would make it much easier to ship, avoid a lot of communication and delays.

New order status - Mutable

Viewed:

123 times

Topic:

Status:

Open

Vote:

[Yes|No]

This is a suggestion to add a new order status 'Mutable'.

Mutable would be a status immediately after the order is submitted, and would
exist for a period of time as defined by the seller. During that time, the items
have been reserved for the customer, may not be purchased by another customer,
and the IC payment has been authorized, but not captured.

When an order is in the Mutable status, the customer may add to the order, remove
items from the order, cancel the order, or confirm they are done. Once the order
transitions from Mutable, the authorized payment is captured (with an amount
reflecting the final order contents plus applicable shipping and taxes). If the
customer decides to cancel, then the payment authorization is canceled without
a capture.

This suggestion would formalize a solution, to a problem that has existed since
IC came into existence, where a customer realizes they need to add/remove/change
something within a short period of time after the order was submitted.

Suggestions for wanted lists

[Yes|No]

I like to combine missing parts for my wanted lists into one. For example
I have multiple sets parted out into separate wanted lists, and I want to combine
all the missing parts into one list. Usually the default list. I like to do this
when going into a shop to get pieces. The way I do this is by selecting parts
and then copying them into another list. The problem is that it gives an error
when trying to add the same lot parts. For example two sets have technic pins
(a very common part) that I am missing. I can add the first sets pins to a new
list, but it will give me an error when trying to add the second sets pins because
the pins already exist in that list.
I think there should be a way to add instead of just copying. If I have
two sets with the same parts then I should be able to add the totals into a new
combined total.

There should also be folders for wanted lists. And also allow me to rearrange
the lists how I want instead of the 4 options given. Like if I want to move the
top list 4 spots down.

There needs to be a textfield on the Feedback Removal Request page where users
who are trying to appeal Negative Feedback can provide brief context as to why
they believe the selected feedback should be removed and/or which rules they
believe the feedback violated.

Why I think this:

I recently received negative feedback as a response to the negative feedback
I gave a non-shipping and non-responding seller, they used the feedback to reply
to my feedback and didn't even provide any actual feedback about me or my
half of the transaction, I submitted a removal request but it was rejected.

I just don't think this system works very well in its current state, the
admins have to make a decision based off of very little information/context.
So that is what the 'Note' field aims to achieve... at the very least,
there should be a rebuttal option for rejected requests.

There is no differentiation between these shades on Bricklink and it had caused
me to order the same pieces from different stores several times until I had the
correct amount of pieces in the correct shade I wanted. This is especially frustrating
with the most uncommon pieces in dark red. For those of you who don't know
the differences, here's a link to an article that explains it well :
https://www.newelementary.com/2019/05/has-lego-color-dark-red-changed.html?m=1
Since the original dark red and the newest dark red have a similar translucid
effect, I think they should be in the same category. The dark red shade produced
between 2009 and 2018 is more opaque and most importantly, more brittle. So I
suggest a new category for this specific shade but I don't know how to rename
it. Please give your suggestions.

Time To Differentiate Pearl Light Gray

Last year, BrickLink decided to reclassify the Pearl Light Gray color as encompassing
both the lighter Pearl Light Gray (Cool Silver) parts that were made from 2006-2010
and the previous darker shade which was then grouped as "Flat Silver"
(131 Silver).

Since the new update, it has been very difficult to source the correct shade
of parts, which are differentiable and belong to specific sets, especially within
the Bionicle range. I believe it is time for BrickLink to reclassify the darker
shade into a new color so the community can list/purchase parts with greater
accuracy. Propositions for the 131 Silver color name could be something like
below, (or whatever the BrickLink team would find appropriate):

-Flat Pearl
-Medium Pearl Light Gray
-Pearl Medium Gray

BrickLink stated about a year ago: "Future: BrickLink will most likely introduce
a third silver color so that all three LEGO silver colors (131 Silver, 296 Cool
Silver, and 315 Silver Metallic) have a direct correlation to a BrickLink color.
The BrickLink color names may need to be updated to create harmony between them."

Can this be done?

Perhaps this has already been suggested and/or talked about. If so, please disregard.

We all know that customers don't read, so banners and/or store terms stating
some extending handling times or something will be ignored, and then have
angry customers. The fix: I'd like to see a toggleable page with a password
to enter a store and/or check out. Much like the "closed store" page,
where you can enter a password to get in, BUT, this setting would still result
in the store being shown in all the various search results. The idea is generally
if someone goes to the store via any method, they will be directed thru a page
that is password locked. This page can have a simple paragraph explaining delays
(work, vacation, or whatever), and the customer must manually enter a password
to get by (for ex, "I agree" ). Once they enter that password, they will
be directed to whatever they were going to (main page, or a specific part). I'd
also like to see this page repeated a second time, just before the final order
submit button, just so that they get reminded of the delay, or whatever it is
the owner is trying to relay.

The point of all this is to force a customer to actually read a short thing ("I'm
away for work, will be back July Xth. You can order, but EXPECT DELAYS. If you
agree, enter with "I agree"" ).

Perhaps this could also be put to use in other ways besides delays. Maybe for
example a seller has had a run of buyers complaining of scratches on certain
new parts. This page could be a slight help, in saying that "part such-and-such
came DIRECTLY out of TLG packaging, and MAY HAVE SCRATCHES", then the password.
The customer is then forced to reconsider and/or accept the possibility
of scratches. Save everyone some headache.

Thanks for the consideration, and any other input.

(Minifigure, Shield Ovoid with Dragon Dark Green on Light Yellow and Ochre Quarters
Background Pattern)

It seems that there are two color versions out there based on whether it came
from the chess set or Escape from Dragon's Prison. the Chess set supposedly
is brighter and does not match the smaller shields or the barding colors like
the one from Escape from Dragon's Prison does.

Can anyone confirm this? I have Escape from Dragon's Prison from a sealed
set which matches nicely but don't have the chess set to confirm on my end.

Thank you and Keep Building!

Hello,

Wondering if it would be possible to add an option to sort sets by the "year
released" in the My Collection listing?
It would be similar to how we are able to sort by year released when searching
for sets and parts I would think?
Maybe not to many folks use the My Collection but I have been finding it a great
place to maintain my listing of items besides a spreadsheet!
Thanks!

Connecting My Collection to search, without creating new Wanted Lists.

Scenario – I’m wishing to collect all Arctic Town minifigures. I have two sets
in My Collection, so the respective Minifigs show up under 'My Minifigures'.

There are [x] more that I want.

When I look in any store inventory, any minifigures I already have do not show
up unless I create a Wanted List and mark them as ‘I have’.

This is double-entry.

As I already have them in My Collection, I'd like to automatically show up
as 'I have' without making new Wanted lists.

Hello Bricklink!

Thank you for such a great website.

Canada is large country, and a parcel from one Province can arrive a week sooner
than a parcel from another.

It would be nice on the Wanted List search to be able to narrow down the search
by location to Stores in just one or two specific Provinces.

For example, I live in Northern British Columbia, and I would like to be able
to search by location not for all of Canada, but just for the Provinces of BC
and Alberta.

Thank you for your consideration.

consolidate non-unique lots store statistics

[Yes|No]

I see many stores maintain multiple non-unique lots in inventory. While I believe
this is a poor practice I don’t believe people should be forced to change. Different
storage locations happen sometimes. I even miss some occasionally myself.

I suggest in the store statistics that Bricklink excludes non-unique lots from
the total number of lots.

The number of non-unique lots has is a useful store indicator while the number
of lots is not. Non-unique lots can help identify the stores with stock diversity.
In the “find stores” search function one quickly find more stock varied store,
one I want to look at more closely, and possibly place an order. Obviously not
my only purchase tool, just one starting point. However, I think we all have
seen the stores with 5 or 10 or 30 of the same item. Try again with the next
on the list. Overall, this suggestion improves the statistic we currently use.

Yes, I do also believe that the number of stores operating with multiple non-unique
lots is large enough for this change to result in noticeable differences.

When I bring up a Part in the Catalog Screen and want to change its Color, the
Color always defaults to "All".

Can you either Change that default to "Known", or give me a Setting I
can set to change that to "Known"?

Defaulting to ALL colors does me no good at all - I don't want to search
for parts that don't exist.

Defaulting or setting to "Known" would save me from having to Change
that setting EVERY TIME I want to search for part in a particular color.

Being able to select parts that don't exist in a color, and having to Change
a setting for Every Part I lookup is a waste of time and an avoidable annoyance.

Other than this and the Previous suggestion I submitted, Bricklink is a very
easy, intuitive website to navigate and use. There are just a few thorns that

It would be great to have a setting for the Default Items Per Page that show
in a Wanted List.

With high-speed internet so much more available these days, Always defaulting
to Just 25 Items Per Page is low.

Every time I go into a Wanted List, the first thing I have to do Every single
time is Click on that dropdown and Increase that number to (in my case) the max
which is 100. If I Forget to do this, I sometimes don't notice parts beyond
the 25 limit in the List and end up creating 1/2 orders that I have to clean
up later.

Either Defaulting to a higher number, Or, have a Setting I can set would be great!

Doll Hair or Minifig Hair?

Viewed:

112 times

Topic:

Status:

Vote:

[Yes|No]

I understand the reasons for wanting to try and separate mini doll hair from
standard minifig hair but with so many crossovers particularly with the increasing
number of Male dolls using standard minifig hair I think this method starts to
become unviable. For instance both these hair pieces are under Doll Hair when
they are both equally suitable for standard minifigs and so how is the correct
category for them being determined?

2631 Mini Doll, Hair Short Spiked, Swept Up in Front
Parts: Mini Doll, Hair

2646 Mini Doll, Hair Friends Short with Curls and Pompadour
Parts: Mini Doll, Hair

My suggestion would be to consider removing the 'Doll Hair' category
and replacing it with a category called 'Hair with Pin Hole' as that
way you still get to separate a good portion of the doll hair from standard hair
whilst giving some much needed clarity. Obviously it will mean some traditional
minifig hair such as Leia/Queen ending up among the doll pin hole hair but I
think its a small price to pay given it will enable more clarity as to where
a hair design belongs and where to look

Clarify whether errors are NSS worthy on form

Viewed:

Topic:

Status:

Vote:

[Yes|No]

Inspired by this post
https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1415572
(and there seems to be similar ones frequently)

Errors happen to all sellers (though granted at different probability). I feel
this can be addressed through the feedback system. Did the seller refund the
purchase price of the wrong item? But asking Bricklink to consider removing
selling privilege's over a genuine error does not seem like this community.
Perhaps it is a clarification issue. I have never filled out a NSS (or NPB)
form and do not know the specific questions asked. Did the seller sent something
they could have thought was correct? Is there a section where the buyer is asked
what they have attempted to resolve the issue before filing a NSS?

My suggestion is for Blicklink to help clarify whether a complaint is NSS (or
NPB) worthy on the complaint form. Specifically asking the applicant the steps
they took to resolve the issue prior to starting the formal process. Such as
communication attempts over time and the other party's response. Did the
other party offer or provide a refund? Perhaps guidance on how long is reasonable
to expect a response from the other party. Finally, specifically ask why the
other party is so egregious that they should be banned (after 3 strikes) outright,
instead of letting feeback system take it's course.

Dealing with the worst offenders will be easy. Many attempts at communication
with no Payment (NPB) or product (NSS) or refund (NSS). However, clarifying
the seriousness of this process might help build confidence in the grey areas.

Hi,

I would like to have the possibility to make a shipment option available or not
depending on the chosen payment option.

I'm a private seller and I like to give my buyers the option to have orders
shipped without tracing and insurance. These options should only be available
when a buyer pays with an option which doesn't require tracing, for example
a banktransfer in my case.

Making the shipment options depending on the chosen payment option would solve
my problem.

Another option for me would be to add the extra cost of tracing when a payment
option which requires tracing is choosen. At this moment it's only possible
to add a percentage of the order when a specific payment option is chosen, but
tracing is a fixed amount.

Regards,

As I suspect many people do, I keep all of my store parts inventory sorted by
Category and then Part Name. This is the way I have everything sorted on my orders,
so it makes for easier order picking to have everything stored the same way.
Sadly, validating my inventory is difficult, though, because this seemingly obvious
sorting method is not available when displaying my store inventory. The best
I can do is to sort by Name, but that leaves many things out of order, like Engines
(in the Aircraft Category) and lots of animals and other miscellaneous pieces.
It seems like it would be pretty easy (and EXTREMELY useful) if I could select
"Condition, Category Name, Item Name, Color Name" as a sorting preference
when displaying Inventory, just as I have it in My Order Settings.

It happens the parts I want to buy don't meet minimum buy treshold. Sometimes
with a large gap, but usually with a small gap.
When trying to find some extra items to reach the treshold, it happens I go into
a next shipping band, making it more expensive for the second time.

My suggestion is really simple: add a "give-extra-money" (or "donation"

box to reach the min. buy treshold.
Let's say I have 3.75 USD in my cart and the min. buy is 5.00 USD. I just
fill in 1.25 USD in the "donation" box (a sort of a "special service
product"

to reach min. buy treshold while still keeping the same weight
and dimensions of my order.

You could even think about linking the extra money to a charity. If the seller
would configure his shop saying he allows going under min. buy treshold when
the buyer pays the gap to charity (preferably managed by BrickLink, so the surplus
is automatically donated to charity).

1. Set "Seller Ships To" to USA
2. Check "Instant Checkout Only"
3. Click "More Options"
4. Set "Seller Location" to North America
5. Set "Seller Accepts" to US Dollar
6. Click "Search"

It would be much more convenient if BrickLink would allow me to set my own defaults

It would be a really useful feature if the items list in orders could be filtered

They get sorted by color alphabetically, but that isn't how I store and pack
orders. I might find a piece in black and then at the end, go back to the same
area to find the same exact piece in white. I spend a lot of time scrolling up
and down the order list and reminding myself that I've already gotten that
piece out and packed.

Let's make this all agile and stuff:

As a BrickLink visitor I would like to see preview images when linking to

There are formats like Open Graph (https://ogp.me/) and Twitter Cards (https://developer.twitter.com/en/docs/twitter-for-websites/cards/overview/markup)
that enable previews in many common tools and platforms. Think of messengers
(like WhatsApp, Telegram, Signal), team chats (Slack, Discord, Microsoft Teams),
Social Media Platforms (LinkedIn, Twitter) and note taking tools (like Keep,
Notion, Dropbox Paper).

For example, I just wanted to make note of some parts for a project (not a MOC
or purely Lego). It would've been nice if I could have added BrickLink-links
to my notes and immediately get a visual overview.

It makes links much more valuable, useful and I bet it improves
click through rates as well. It's also rather easy to implement
as it's about taking data that's already there, and putting it into the
meta-section of the HTML.

I'd like to see better communication between the Wanted List and Orders to

of parts for a project multiple times.

An example of improved functionality; if I place an order that contains a piece
on my Wanted Lists the order system could add a remark saying how many have been
ordered and the order number (with a link to the order if possible). If the piece
appears on multiple lists it would add the remark to them all.

I'd also like to be able to automatically update my Want and Have numbers
in my Wanted Lists when I Complete an order. The simplest implementation would
allow me to nominate which Wanted List I want to update; a more complex implementation
would be smart enough to match Completed orders against all or multiple selected
Wanted Lists.

There needs to be a better way to deal with item removal requests. I have been
waiting for an invoice to be sent and had to ask my seller when I could expect
an invoice. They then informed me that I needed to approve the item removal first.
If I had not sent the inquiry, I would not have even known and possibly had a
NPB filed against me. This is unacceptable!

1) All item removal requests need to come through Bricklink and the buyer's
e-mail.

2) An alert should be shown on the buyer's Bricklink account with a red exclamation
mark or something similar next to the "My BL" just like there is a
green dot when logged in.

3) A link to the "Item removal" page should be under the "purchases"
heading when I hover my mouse cursor over the "My BL" icon.

Please add an additional copy of these links somewhere at the top of the orders
received page. I'd rather not have to scroll to the end (or hit Ctrl-End
on Windows.)

Mass upload empty lots

I wonder why it's not possible to upload empty lots in stockroom through
mass upload and manual addition, i.e. quantity = 0.

It's already possible to have empty lots by retaining after sale, and I can
circumvent the addition/upload system by changing quantity to 0 afterwards.

But being able to do it immediately would make some parts of my work in my store
a lot easier. So please implement this.

I think it would be great to see what items are drawing the most attention to
my store based on views. Currently, there is no way of knowing what your buyers
are looking at, only the storewide view numbers. So I think a store analytics
page would be super.

Wanted List Updates

This has been a pain point for many users, and while work arounds do exist, it
is frustrating that this still exists.
I'd love to see the Wanted List code updated to allow the easy combination
of several Wanted Lists into a single new Wanted list while maintaining the existing
lists, and also the ability to easily modify the quantity of elements on existing
wanted lists. If the element appears in the wanted list in more than one color
it's a pain to try to add it in my experience. When I try to modify the quantity
I get an error message.

I'm not a complete newbie user, but am not a power user by any means and
don't have the spare time to become one.

Improving Collections

I love the addition of Collections to the database. My suggestion is that there
should be some form of quick add when you click on the pop-up of the minifigure
or part. It would save the extra step of navigating the product page and inputting
it in your collection.

Another suggestion would be to have some sort of check mark when you look up
pieces and figures in the database, so you can make a quick determination of
what you have in your collection and what you still need. An example would be
looking up Avatar minifigures and seeing that you have 6 of the figures in your
collection (and if you wanted to complete your collection would need to get the
rest).

Thanks!

and shipping and all that together that would REALLY make a change and would
really be helpfull pls and thank you.

Part out sets - include counterparts

Viewed:

Topic:

Hello, I often use the part out function to create an individual wanted list
for a set. Then I delete the parts I already/still have and finally I have an
actual wanted list to complete my set.

Part Out allows you to part out minifigs as individual parts and I can chose
to include extra parts. But unfortunately, counterparts are not included.

I would love to have the opportunity to include them as well or even replace
them with the individual regular parts while creating the wanted list. Mostly
this ist related to sticker parts. When I complete a set, I need the counterparts
with stickers on, not the plain parts.

Right now, I have to add each counterpart manually after creating the wanted
list and delete the plain regular parts.

Is it possible to add an function "include counterparts" in the Part
Out process?

Just like mini figures. But with their own category. This is especially important
for sets like Disney in Jurassic World and I’m sure many others.

I've been browsing through all the minifig torsos and now my hand hurts from
having to click on each picture one by one to enlarge them. Would it be possible
to add an option to see the list with larger thumbnails? It would be particularly
helpful when browsing through printed parts.

I've tried zooming in with my browser, but the pictures get too blurry and
I have to scroll the page from left to right, so it doesn't help.

I don't know if this feature exists at the site and I just don't know
about it, but it would be convenient being able to assemble a "shopping list"
similar to adding things to a cart, and then search for sellers having all the
items on the list. Buying from multiple sellers increases cost due to separate
shipping from each seller, so I try to order all my parts from a single seller
when shopping. However, finding a seller having all the parts I'm looking
for in the quantities I want is a tedious task.

Home Page Layout "More Options"

Hi Amazing BrickLink People

When in the "Sellers Selection Page there is a "More Options" button
that enable us to select a specific country.
That button is on the Right Hand Side.

Could it PLEASE be placed on the Left Hand Side.

The Page opens on the Left Hand Side.
The Country Select Button is on the Left Hand Side.
The number of items per page is on the Left Hand Side.
Just about everything is on the Left Hand Side.
Having the More Options" button on the Right Hand Side means we need to keep
going back and forth across the screen - on a phone this is particularly annoying.

Even the "Search" button could be placed on the Right Hand Side.
There is plenty of room there that is not already taken by anything else.

Also, can the "number of items per page" default to a much higher number
- 25 is way too low - I always change it to 500

Huge Thanks

Michael

Can Drive Thru messages go through outbox?

When we message a buyer about an order a copy goes through to the in house messaging
system and we can monitor the outbox to see if they read the message. Can Drive
Thru messages be sent this way too?

I have a buyer who must not be checking their junk/spam mail and hasn't said
a thing until yesterday when they sent me a message verifying if I had received
payment and if we were good to go. ... The package and drive thru message were
sent on Monday for Friday delivery.

They read (but did not respond to) questions I had prior to shipping, so I know
they are at least checking messages here. But it would be helpful to know if
they're reading everything, and the only way to do that is through the BL
messaging system.

This one in my opinion is the most important discussion we could have. It seems
almost perfect if you automatically remove or give us the option to remove all
items in our wanted lists that we purchase, immediately after purchasing those
items.
