Also, the Suggestions topic is for suggestions about the website. Questions
about the catalogue are better placed in the Catalog topics or in the more general

As for the part you linked to, sorting trays are in the Gear section. You should

That part has already been merged. There’s no difference in the inventories
now, so we can’t know which variant came in which sets
To see the difference between the parts, there’s often comparison images on the

Though, there doesn’t seem to be a comparison image for 4079

EasyBuy is easy but dumb. Use the Buy page instead (Buy All button in a WL or
hover over the white heart-shaped icon and click Buy when the menu appers).
On the Buy page, you can use Auto-select that’ll give similar results to EasyBuy,
just with a couple clicks more.
Bonuses:
— you can select multiple lists,
— there’s filters (location…),
— you can even cherry-pick lots in multiple WLs (using the Wanted Items tab on
the left).
As for merging lists, yes, it’s been missing and we asked for it since the inception
of the “new” Wanted List pages, in 2016.
As a workaround, you can ‘merge’ WLs by downloading your lists and uploading
them into a new one.
Not very user-friendly but you then don’t need to use or create a tool to do
it.

| | A question about the wanted list.
I have included a red brick 2x3 with price set to the lego price. Require say
100 bricks.
I have also inclued brick 2x3 of any colour (N/A) set to a requirement of 200
bricks.
When I buy all and select the top store does this show different combination
of colours of 2x3 bricks starting with the cheapest price, then the next cheapest
and so on until it makes up 200 ?
|
Hi,
Nope. Unfortunately
If you search your WL in a store, you’ll be shown all the lots of 2x3 that have
at least 200 bricks.
If you use the Auto-fill options, _all_ the lots will end up in your cart (so,
if there’s 10 lots, you’ll get 2,000 bricks in the cart!).
If you use Auto-select or EasyBuy, the algorithm will choose a lot in a store
with 200 2x3 bricks in one colour.
I’ve no idea whatsoever how that lot is chosen. Tests have proven it’s not the
cheapest in the store, and it’s not the ‘first’ in the store (in any way you
define ‘first’). And it’s even worse (price-wise) if there’s multiple stores
in the selection.
IOW: N/A is okay when it’s just about finding stores, but it’s not good when
you want to ‘buy’ automatically.
Also: just try. It costs nothing but a little time

Hi,
The problem would be a old part number (due to a renaming or a merge)… and there’s
no way to correct that on the website
I think BrickStore could be able to automatically correct your XML file… or at

Hmm, to put these arches on the ‘manor’ part, you need other small parts that
are not in the inventory: a 1x2 brick, 2x 1x1 plates and 2x (1 or 2)x3 plates….
You could do without the (1 or 2)x3 plates with the Extra 1x2 and 2x2….
And you can get one 2x3 if you can use the (1 and 2)x10 plates instead of the
(1x2)x8 ones on the walkway… but it doesn’t seem like they did that on the pic.

How much data space would it take to have two catalogs? One for detailed data
and one for generalized marketplace?
|
The problem isn’t space, it’s consistency and workload.
Basically, you’re doubling the workload.
If you make a change in one of the catalogues, should it be echoed on the other
one? To which extent? Can that be automatized?
In the software world, that’s called a fork (external / by another team) or a
branch (internal / by the same team).
We have tools and procedures to follow and “port” (transfer, apply) changes between
branches / versions / forks (‘diffs’ and ‘patches’ and ‘version control system’
(git, bitkeeper, mercurial…)).
And those tools are good and ‘smart.’ They can work around other changes and
differences that shouldn’t change (and (good) devs are lazy: everything that
can be automatized is automatized).
But we ALWAYS need to check the changes. The changes may apply without a hitch…
but they may break the program because they contradict an older change. That
can also be automatized, to some extent. But it’s work again and you can never
predict everything so you always need to check.
Duplicating a database and the changes on the database can be automitized in
the same way: changes are just instructions, like a program. So the same porting
solutions & problems apply: Should that change be applied? Can it be applied?
Should another change be applied instead? And you always need to check, check,
check.
Also, you first need to record these instructions. AFAIK, BrickLink’s changelogs
aren’t complete / sufficient.
TL;DR: It’s the same as the work done by Rebrickable: another catalogue, with
conversion tables, with changes to follow / apply or not, with errors or misses…,
and with a full team to manage it.
It could be a bit simpler and you could save a bit by keeping it inside BrickLink,
but that won’t remove most of the work needed.
Another possibility is to handle that in only one “catalogue,” with two (or more!)
different ways to present its info. The work would be done only once, in the
more detailed catalogue, and there would be mechanisms to hide the details to
the users. But that’s the same as the “umbrella part” solution: you need to
change the whole structure of the database and the way the site works. That
can’t be patched onto what exists now (which is already patched enough with spaghetti
and sauce as it is).

Hi,
To part out a set: hover over the white, heart-shaped “Want” icon and click “Part
Out”: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/wanted/partout.page
But you can’t “apply” a Wanted List (or an inventory) to another one on BrickLink,
to remove the parts you already have. You need to use third-party tools, like
BrickStore (application) or Rebrickable (website).

Maybe there's a language barrier at play here, but this is not tax fraud.

AIUI:
If the amount paid/pocketed includes the tax:
— The seller is collecting tax money when they aren’t authorized to and have
no way to remit it. That is tax fraud.
— The buyer is giving the tax money to the seller, who, again, is neither authorized
to collect it nor in any capacity to remit it. Knowingly or not, that is tax
fraud.
(From what was said, the seller is taking the tax. So this is the situation
discussed here.)
If the amount paid/pocketed doesn’t include the tax:
— The buyer is not paying the tax they owe. That is tax evasion, a.k.a tax fraud.
— The seller is helping the buyer not paying the tax. That’s helping and abetting
tax evasion. Tax fraud.

You can't eliminate VAT - it will be collected either by BrickLink (if the

is 150 euro or more).

To be clear: it’s German Import VAT, not Vietnam VAT.
BrickLink collects taxes from the buyers in these situations:
— US Sales tax: most US buyers, when they buy from any seller for any amount,
— UK import VAT: UK buyers, when they buy from non-UK sellers for less than £135
(items total),
— EU import VAT: EU buyers, when they buy from non-EU sellers for less than €150
(items total).
— Australian GST: AU buyers, when they buy from non-AU sellers for less than
AU $1,000 (items total).
— New Zealand GST: NZ buyers, when they buy from non-NZ sellers for less than
NZ $1,000 (by item).
— Norway import VAT: NO buyers, when they buy from non-NO sellers for less than
NOK 3,000 (by item).
UK/NO/EU VAT and AU/NZ GST are directly paid by the buyer for other amounts.
Domestically (intra-UK, intra-NO, intra-EU, intra-AU, or intra-NZ), it’s handled
by the sellers when necessary.

Your status doesn’t matter.
BrickLink has to collect the taxes from the buyers, so the payment can only be
done with an onsite method (Stripe or PayPal Onsite).
If there’s an e-mail or link in the invoice, it may be a way to make the buyers
pay offsite (the buyers could send the money directly to the e-mail, or the link
could be a link to a payment service). BL can’t allow that because that would
be tax fraud.
Remove links and e-mails from your invoices when BrickLink has to collect tax.

Printing jobs are sent into a queue (= saved somewhere on your disk) before being
sent to the printer. If the printer doesn’t answer or is interrupted or if the
queue is interrupted or there’s a glitch and it doesn’t know the job was printed
or it forgot it was, it’ll try again later.
It may not try again immediately when the printer is available, something else
may trigger it.
When you add features like:
— multiple printers,
— multiple users / machines,
— pausing,
— auto-retry, etc.,
you also add potentialities for glitches.
Well, that, or it’s gremlins….

Hi and welcome
The dedicated forum for Studio and PartDesigner is https://forum.bricklink.com/
(hover over the red Studio icon on every page, then click “Studio Forum”).
There, you should be able to upload a better image.
Here’s the direct link to post in the correct subforum: https://forum.bricklink.com/posting.php?mode=post&f=4
Please, also tell us what’s your operating system (Windows, macOS)? Its version?
Your hardware? The version of Studio you’re running?
Also, if that happens with a particular model, it would help if you could attach
it.
Can you also join Studio’s log file? This file is called Prev_Player.log
and it can be found:
on Windows: C:\Users\{YOUR USERNAME}\AppData\Local\Stud.io\
on macOS: /Users/{YOUR USERNAME}/.local/share/Stud.io
Notes:
— .local & AppData are hidden (Cmd + Shift + . (period) to see hidden files in
macOS Finder; on Windows, you can search for %localappdata% (with the percent
signs) to directly go to AppData\Local),
— the file is overwritten everytime you start Studio, so get it just after you
have had the problem.

If you didn’t refund the whole order, you can’t cancel it.
Otherwise, this scenario would be possible: buyer pays 100, seller refunds 1
and cancels, buyer can’t do anything on BL.
(With luck, buyer can do something with PayPal or Stripe to get the remaining
99.)

That is only valid when one hasn’t yet checked out. And you can’t click on “check
out” if the prices/available quantities have changed.
So, if OP has already checked out, as they seem to say, they can’t update the
cart anymore because the items have been reserved at the prices in the cart and
the prices can’t change.
(If the seller changed the prices after the click, it’s too late. Too bad for
the seller if it’s an increase, too bad for the buyer if it was a decrease.)
So it’s a bug somewhere else, in the shipping calculation or in the taxes one.

Er, what do you mean exactly by “not available”?
Do you mean the parts that EasyBuy or Auto-select didn’t find?
If you’ve already made the orders, you can “apply” them on your Wanted List.
Beware, that feature only works well if you only have one Wanted List, because
it has no memory of what was already “applied.”
You open your WL, there’s an “Apply Order” button on the top right. Click on
it, it will propose your orders that have items that match the ones in the WL.
Choose an order and apply it: the Have fields are changed to the quantity in
the order.
Most of the searches, and notably the Buy page, know to only look for “wanted
qty minus Have qty” and not “wanted qty” only. For some (search in a store for
instance), you need to activate the option in the filters.
Beware2: If you have parts in your WL in the colour Not Applicable (= Any colour
for searches), Apply Order won’t find them, because parts in the orders have
another colour.
So you’ll need to check your WL and orders for those parts.
If that doesn’t answer your question, please give more details on your situation

Hi,
AFAIK, there’s no simple way to do that.
I thought about trying to trick the site: I imported an inventory of one part
with negative quantity… and I got this (see pic; note that the total is correct
2 + -1 = 1).
Not what you want.
So I think you’ll have to:
— go piece by piece,
— or start again (you can empty your whole collection by importing an empty file),
— or use a thrid-party tool, like BrickStore: download/export your collection,
import it in BrickStore, edit it there (you should be able to remove the set’s
inventory), then import it in your My Collection… or not, because BrickStore
has many features My Collection still doesn’t have.

Agreed! The dots and circles, the red arrows aren't identical on both versions!
|
Joking aside, I can’t see what difference the arrows are supposed to point to.
Circles’ diff seem to be either that:
— there’s a bolt in one version but not the other (but maybe it’s hidden by the
circle,
— or there’s no black line at the bottom… but that could just be a slight misalignment
/ print error and not intentional.

The help page: https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=2550
also links to: https://taxation-customs.ec.europa.eu/online-sellers_en
The €10k threshold replaces the previous by-country thresholds for non-domestic
sales, so it works the same way, and that’s the same way as domestic sales: it’s
your total sales.
BrickLink and PayPal fees are parts of your costs, exactly like buying the LEGO
you sell. You don’t remove your costs from your sales when you consider your
total sales.
Postage is a cost too. There’s rare cases where it can be excluded but they
don’t apply on BL.

And the real question is: can this abuse be prevented? I think not as most of

This abuse of the NPB system shows its weakness.
Hope it can be case-specifically fixed by @Admin_Russell.
System fix would be better, but which...?

Well, some have proposed counting the number of cancellations, either to remove
buying priviledges or only warn sellers.
I don’t know if that’s way to go or if there’s another solution.

Hi,
You’ll need to open your store as you can’t advertise something that’s not for
sale in your store.
You can set a high minimum value to prevent orders.
Also add a clear announcement on the banner, splash page or terms to explain
you want to sell your whole inventory.
Also, ads (sales & new items for sale) should go to the Sales topic… but selling
an entire store is a bit of an edge case: you’re not advertising to the common
buyer. I’ll let you decide if you want to post there.
(But the limit is still 1 ad per month to prevent year-long “I’m selling my store”
sales: https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1437060 )

First, they said they have a reason.
Second, even if you/we/anyone don’t agree with the reason, according to EU laws,
they can return without any reason.

In short, at some extent and depending the case, an order on BrickLink can technically
be a service and not a sale of goods.
|
No. Goods are never a service.
What could be argued is that BL parts orders are “goods made to order or clearly
personalised.” Those are exempt from the “cooling-off” period.
Sellers can also:
— not refund shipping,
— have restocking fees,
if it’s clearly stated in the terms before the sale.

When you click there, there’s a checkbox “Add set inventory to My Parts” in the
dialog (pic).
If you tick it, the parts of the set are added to your My Collection in the
Parts section, but the set is not added in the Sets section, contrarily to what
the button still says.
IOW:
— box ticked = part out the set in My Parts
— box unticked = set added to My Sets.
If you want to do both, you need to add the set twice.

Probably none. I imagine that is why they deregister rather than get suspended.

Creating an account: they at least check e-mail and address (real, don’t know

For the other Series, AFAIK they are not yet in the stage that prices have been

And the prices are different, notably because EU prices include VAT while US
