Hello
I am starting getting paranoid with all those mails we are receiving to identify
our account…🤔.
Could the Bricklink admin / support board please post some information, so we
know what to expect. I cannot believe that support is sending mails with threats
of closing ones account. We have no complains from customers, are paying our
fees … I cannot understand why there should be withhold any customers payments
/ orders? Is that for real?

Does any one else get these mails?

Sincerely, Brickworkers

Ciao a tutti, aiutatemi vi prego..
Sono due settimane circa che non riesco ad accedere al mio bricklink e ad evadere
gli ordini perche con il nuovo sistema di log in mi appare la finestra che mi
dice di inserire il codice mandato per mail ma non mi arriva niente per mail!

Ho provato decine e decine di volte, da piu computer e su piu sistemi operativi,
ho mandato almeno 4/5 mail all'assistenza bricklink senza mai ricevere risposta.

Vedo che ho 3 ordini da evadere ma senza questo benedetto codice non riesco neanche
a mandare l'invoice per il pagamento.

per favore aiutatemi

I would like to merge them to make ordering easier.

Hi,

First, you don’t need to merge the WLs to order them together.
Just go to the Buy page (https://www.bricklink.com/v2/wanted/buy.page ) and tick
the boxes in the Wanted Lists tab in the panel on the left.

You can also select/unselect items by using the Wanted Items tab.


  I tried downloading the individual lists, to reupload them in a new list, but
the format used for downloading isn't supported when uploading (this is really
strange to me, but ok)

You need to use the second tab on the upload page (https://www.bricklink.com/v2/wanted/upload.page
).
You’ll need to _paste_ the content of a Wanted List (one at a time, you can’t
paste them all at once).

To be clear:
— the BL WL XML format can only be pasted, not uploaded as a file (like can be
done with other formats),
— it can only be done on the upload page, not from the upload button inside a
WL.
🤷‍♂️


  So I tried copying the parts to a new list. This worked for the first list. However
when I tried doing the same on the second list, it warned me that at least one
the parts was already in the new list. And yeah, some parts are used by different
lists. I would expect the app to merge them, that is, if both lists have the
same part, then the new list will have 2x that part. But apparently this is not
what happens.

What other options do I have to merge my lists? Other than looking up every individual
part once again.

Uploading by pasting XML on the upload page works.  The verification page shows
a warning but it clearly says the quantity will be added to the previous one,
so it’s what we want.

Another solution is to use third-party tools, like BrickStore (application) or
Rebrickable (website).

You could download Brickstore and use that to download each wanted list, combine
them into one file and re-upload them.

Hi,

You can’t directly do that
The My Collection feature isn’t complete and isn’t linked to the other parts
of the website 🙄

You can still do it if you:
1. download your order,
2. make an BrickLink XML inventory with it,
3. import that inventory in your My Collections / Parts.

(1) and (3) are rather easy, (2) is the complicated part.
The simplest way to do (2) is with using BrickStore… but then, you might as well
use BrickStore to manage your collection.

I thought the batches were separated in the order details?
Or is it only for buyers?
Or an option?

Batches are separated, apart if (seller anyway) clicks bottom of the order to
"Consolidate batches". But here, it doesn't show any different batches
(it's the firs one), and if there are 2 lots it can't be neither consolidated.

Just a rare bug

Frankly - if personally I'd describe and report all the bugs I encounter
in Windows, Firefox, Studio, Notepad++ and tens of software I use all day long,
I wouldn't have any second of my life to do anything else

I mean, it's not BrickLink specific; it's just development / IT is an
Human activity, and we're all bugged - so the whole shebang isn't perfect.

  Thank you

Hi and welcome

The Catalog Request topic is for, well, requests about the main catalogue, not
personal inventories.

As you’re very new and a buyer (not a seller), I presume you’re talking about
My Collection (https://www.bricklink.com/v3/myCollection/main.page ).
In that case, you can delete each section by uploading an empty file.

That is:
— click the Import/Export dropdown on the upper right corner of the “Add…” dialog
(see pic),
— choose “Import…,”
— select “Custom CSV or XML file” (top choice),
— give it an empty file (just create a file with nothing in it or just spaces),
— it’ll warn you it’s empty, continue,
— select “Replace collection”,
— it’ll warn you you’ll lost your collection, Submit.

No idea.

I’ve seen other sellers having inventory errors due to instant checkout probably
but I don’t have it enabled so it’s even stranger.

I've received an order which contains a few duplicated lots while the order
has only one batch and I don't have multiple lots of the same parts in my
inventory since I consolidate all my lots.

I've also checked and the quantity of the brick in the picture is correct,
I have total of 29 in stock.

How is this possible? Any chance the buyer added 4 to the cart and added 5 later?
Shouldn't it be combined to 9 in the cart if I don't have multiple lots
of the same part?

Not LEGO:
0. No 0.5L axles.  Unless broken.
1. Wrong colour.
2. Wrong material.
3. The pin on your part is full.  LEGO pins are tubes.
4. Bad moulding: there’s some flush visible inside the pin.

This is interesting. None of the other axles in that set came in those colors,
so it's not like they were cut in half (PS, I could totally see a need for
these though, mating two from opposite sides of the same axle hole.)

Nothing shows up under 1L, 1/2L, with friction or without friction.
