Some sets have more than one book of instructions. I want to part out only a
part of a set and doing this manually is a royal pain. So instead, what if we
could part out only a specific instruction booklet from a set the features multiples?

Would it be possible to include a section on a rejected Catalog Submission (similar
to the 'Note for Catalog Administrator' section) that explains the reason
that a certain change was rejected?
I ask, because I have noticed that some submissions have been rejected, only
to be approved after I changed the format slightly. Other changes have been rejected,
but accepted when I have resubmitted them.
Having feedback on rejected Catalog Submissions will prevent confusion over the
reason for the rejection, and will help others to improve their Submissions.

For the benefit of those of us with less accurate clicking skills, I would like
the buttons "order" & "cancel" on the quotes page stacked side by side (horizontally)
rather than sitting vertically on top of each other. There seems to be plenty
of space free on the page, & this would make inadvertently clicking the wrong
button less likely.

In the description it shows "Item No" but the detailed "Part Color Code" isn't

When adding an item to my wanted list, I typically want it in 5 colors. As it
is, I have to add the item in each color or select 'no-applicable' which
means when I check a store I get a rainbow of the item which slows my search.

When I add an item it should just let me select boxes for the desired colors.

Hello All,

I wonder why I can't set a filter on QTY for the Price Guide. I wonder how
relevant is that when I seek for 200 bricks (3001 black) that there is someone
who is selling 1 piece for HUF 9.69 when I actually can only buy from the guy
sells for HUF 43.74 due to lot size.

Not to mention the shipping costs...

Please consider the following:

1. Add colour as an option
2. When using the 'by category filter@ please show sub-totals by category

It would also be a good idea to incorporate the ability to update selected inventory
items into a superlot.

In addition, whilst you can use external tools to work on pricing it would be
far better if that type of tool existed on the MY Inventory page.

We are aware there has been discussion over sellers tools since 2013, and these
things may or may not be in those new tools, however it is now 5 years since
that discussion began and to date, I am not sure anyone is aware of what may
or may not be coming.

We are led to believe that Admin_Jaclyn is project managing the sellers tools
- Could we have an indication as to what is being considered, please?

Currently if you look at a set with more than 1 build (60052 for example) you
are greeted with the parts list arranged by part type and colour, for the whole
set.

What I would love to see is this done for each individual build in a set , for
example;
all parts required for this, arranged as usual but given its own heading (Current
ones are for plates, bricks, supplemental etc I believe?

- Locomotive
- Wire Drum Car
- Pallet Car
- Cattle Car
- Fork Lift
- Truck
- Gantry Crane/Office

This would allow users to quickly populate wanted lists for specific aspects
from sets, I don't believe the Part-Out function would do this (although
it did answer my other request).

Hi all,

I wonder if sellers could be limited in cluttering the price-list.

We have tiered price possibilities, but some sellers like to clutter the price-list
with more than 1 listing. In the example it is 11 times for the same item!!!!!

Why???

I would suggest if it is exactly the same item, either use tiered pricing....or
maximum of 3.

Anyone else has an opinion?

Yesterday I added about 6000 dark green 1 x 1 plates to our inventory as we continue
to build up quantities of standard items. I listed them at our standard price
and then later on went to my inventory page, called up that item and added a
tiered price at 1p below our standard price for quantities of 100 or more. Fine
- no problem.

Today additional stock of that particular item came across my desk to be added
and I went to add the item - filled in all information to add the additional
pieces. Lo and behold the system removed my tiered price and set it back to 0.

As it is not really possible to remember all the items we have on tiered pricing,
I believe the system should either show you this or have an option to retain
tiered pricing.

Anyone else - or is there a workaround to ensuring the tiered pricing sticks.

We can add pics of a pending item. Obviously that is a necessity. I inventory
a lot of minifigs and that means I am always adding items with new PCCs and torsos
that need to be inventoried and sometimes adding the minifig and its pieces to
the catalog. The catmins do a great job of moving things through, but obviously
there isn't always one at the desk! I have this routine for adding them
and I have another routine after they get approved and I try to do it promptly,
but things happen. This might not be something that generates a lot of interest
because most people don't do this stuff, but it would really streamline for
me if I could add the PCCs to pending pieces, inventory pending torso assemblies
with pending torsos, and even add the pending pieces to pending minifig inventories.
The same basic things would also help the people who tackle the sets (which
I don't usually do myself). Then when the pieces were approved everything
would just fall into place and it would be done.

Put existing remarks onto 1st Part Out Page

When I go to part out a set, especially a large set, I would like to have this
specifically:

On page 1 where I input the number of sets etc. - A tick box for something along
the lines of "auto add pre-existing remarks to items".

I am aware this is shown on the confirmation page but here is why this is a problem.

Some of my parts don't have any remarks because I have never had them in
my inventory. I and many others use the remarks box to input the a reference
number to their place of storage. If I have the item in my inventory I have to
either click onto a new page or wait until I go to the inventory page.

If I had this tick box on the first page, that I am suggesting, here is what
would happen.

The remarks would be filled in automatically for parts with your "default" remark.
This would occur on the same page where you can alter pricing, quantities, add
notes, etc. This would mean I can go through the part out list, add remarks easily
to new parts, store parts in their rightful places, alter quantities, etc. all
in one page.

I know that this has probably been beat to death, but I have a suggestion. I,
as well as others I'm sure, have complained about the average prices that
are grossly inflated due to very high priced parts. On the used side of the guide
it seems it is always the same 2 stores (ex $39.95 for a $0.20 piece).

Why can't we do what they do in some sporting events - throw out the lowest
and highest and then average. I'm sure there is a way to do this.

Hello everyone,

I think it's time to ask Bricklink to make a very simple but very useful
change: a MOBILE-FRIENDLY website!

Nowadays the majority of online worldwide buyers are using the mobile to complete
their purchases.
For example, in China the 83% of customers are buying from a mobile device.

Benefits:
- Buyers are more satisfied and the customer experience would be increased.
- Stores would increase the number of orders received
- Bricklink would have new customers that now are potential customers but, due
to this lack are not customers yet.

The competitor "BrickOwl" has a mobile-friendly website.
But BRICKLINK you are the largest LEGO Marketplace!
Please BRICKLINK, the whole community needs a mobile-friendly site!

Guys please, support my suggestion

So I use to post in the forum all the time. About 4 or more years ago before

And it was much easier to find the POST NEW MESSAGE button than it is now. Took
me about 5 minutes to find the damn thing! That is ridiculous!

Why can't I just click on the BIG Community button at the top right on every
BL page and then on that 1st page that comes up is a BIG EASY TO FIND AND READ
button that reads: POST NEW MESSAGE!

NO, what you have to do is look at all the little buttons at the top in the grey
bar that read:
Forum, Messages, Topics, Search, Stats...
Click on Topics, click on one of those topics and in the top right corner of
those pages it says in little size font: Post New Message....

I use to be good at BL. Thanks for the frustration. I was going to post an
announcement sharing that I am only 1 feedback away from the big 5 double 0 after
almost 11 years on BL but I will probably forget how to find the Post New Message
button in the mean time.
(Why do less than half the members on BL leave feedback? I'd be over 1000

I recently listed another batch of used sets. Once again in reviewing prices
I found in most cases the cheapest one available for sale is listed as "complete"
but missing minifigures.

Bricklink can't you do a sweep of these errant listings and send the seller
a warning? Maybe query sets that are listed as complete but have the word "missing"
or "no minifigs" in the comments

I know you don't want to make changes automatically (the seller could have
written "no missing minifigures" or something) but it is a long and slow process
to find these one by one. And there are thousands of them listed.

Sounds like a lot of work? You are probably losing money too. The average
sold price is lower than it should be because so many incomplete sets are being
sold as complete. If sellers saw the real average price they would set their
prices higher and Bricklink would benefit from the higher commission.

For example I recently listed Star Wars set. The cheapest 3 currently available
(listed as complete) are $15, $20 and $24. None of them are complete according
to the sellers description.

The average sold for this set is $22 but since 3 of the sold sets were prices
$15, $15 and $21 they were probably incomplete but sold as complete and now are
polluting the price guide. The correct average sold is about $27

Mentioned in other posts, I am submitting this as a separate suggestion.

The goal of the $1 payment is to preclude new members from making false orders
and thereby avoid time wasted on pulling order items, attaining packing supplies,
calculating shipping, etc.

Perhaps there is also a benefit with regard to new sellers. Not sure.

I recognize there will be process, payment, and accounting challenges for BrickLink
administrators, along with maybe an undesired initial action to become a member,
however this proposal would screen out false buyers, and benefit the integrity
and positive experiences of the entire new member, buyer, and seller community
-- which for my part is a key reason I'm here.

Seller checkout approval for <X new buyers

Topic:

Whether X = 0 or some short optional range between say -3 and +3, I suggest
that any seller be able to approve of new zero-or-low-feedback members before
they are allowed to check out.

As a heads-up courtesy, new buyers can be advised by BrickLink, via a notice
both near the cart symbol while shopping and in the cart, that checking out will
require the seller's approval.

Attaining approval would require a BrickLink message from the prospective buyer
to the seller requesting to check out. In lieu of a better indicator, this message,
or perhaps more importantly the simple effort to send it, would allow a seller
to make an approval or disapproval decision.

The seller makes a decision, with ideally everything being on the up & up, and
a bona fide order and purchase follow.

However the rule and process is set up, it can be deconflicted with the "Disallow
members with negative feedback" rule.

- - - -

A better solution that what's above, to minimize time-wasting
fake orders, is to have all buyers pay BrickLink a dollar or euro before being
allowed to order.

I for one am happy to pay a dollar, although I cannot speak for anyone else.

- - - -

I've welcomed several new buyers to BrickLink, and I hope to welcome more.

On the flip side, I spent an hour-and-a-half pulling eight sets last Thursday
night, in order to identify a good shipping box (which to free up involved shifting
around several more sets) and to attain an accurate overseas shipping quote on
behalf of the customer, assuming the best with regard to their intentions. I
did this promptly within three hours of order receipt, in order to set up a timely
invoice.

I almost took everything to the post office the next day, in order to get a better
weight since the big box covered my small scale. Thankfully the member's
first negative arrived before that, and I decided to estimate the weight.

This morning, I spent another hour getting these sets back to their storage places.

I did all this on behalf of someone who is playing a mean game with several BrickLink
sellers ... ... ... simply because he can as a new member. Furthermore,
he's now at -4 and has the BrickLink greenlight to order from unsuspecting
sellers. The wasted-time toll of this false buyer round remains TBD.

My sets are safely stored wherever they fit throughout my place; I do not have
a crystal ball to store them in some purchase and ease-of-access order; and I
do not have a warehouse facility.

In light of such service efforts, extensive or otherwise, sellers should be able
to screen new buyers, even if such an evaluation is limited to interpreting a
message.

Or have everyone pay BrickLink a token amount before receiving buyer privileges.
Probably not easy given payment means and currencies, but it would likely alleviate
an ongoing and possibly growing issue.

Currently there is no way you can determine easily from looking at the price
guide what currency conversion has been used to determine the move from USD to
any other currency. As this figure has to be held/determined (calculated) somewhere,
whether in BL or by xe.xom it is available to be displayed and updated as regularly
as the price guide.

If Bricklink displayed that figure it would be very helpful for everyone's
use whether buying or selling. This is especially relevant for the last 6 months
sales which is a floating figure and is not easily determined - (it can be done,
but is very long winded and takes a lot more time and effort to get right.

As for the changes this would require, they are absolutely minimal from a coding
point of view and it would help to solve the never ending threads about currency
conversion and the price guide.

It would also help with Brickstock, but I am sure that is of no concern to Bricklink.

Stop counting neutral feedback as negative

Since the change was made to put the large "% Praise" at the top of each store
front page neutral and negative feedback are basically the same thing.

This is not obvious to customers leaving feedback - especially new members.

I suggest to exclude neutral transactions from the % Praise calculation - treat
them the same as if no feedback had been left. This seems more accurate than
counting them as negative.

Also I find it strange that the % praise is calculated to 2 decimal places. Does
anyone really think a 99.74 seller is more trustworthy than 99.68? There are
no standards or guidelines for what makes a positive/neutral/negative transaction
-- it is up to the individual opinion. So there is no way this figure is
that accurate.

New buyer LOE to tie up inventory for 14 days

Hi,

The new buyer's level of effort required to tie up any given seller's
inventory for 14 to 21 days still stands a very, very firm almost none.

I get that irresponsible and indifferent buyers present a difficult challenge,
but the NPB process needs to be significantly shortened to make it something
less than a sick joke.

Eight sets and one entire lot are now off the market for 14-days or more. Whoopdeedo.

For any decisive administrator of BrickLink, please take action on behalf of
the responsible BrickLink community.

A good day to any readers, Matthew

I don’t want to open a can of worms here, but I think this is a valid suggestion.

Can BL create a fourth entry for a set where is states:

‘Set Entry | Instructions Entry | Original Box Entry’

to become

‘Set Entry | Minibuild Entry | Instructions Entry | Original Box Entry’ ?

The ‘Minibuild Entry’ would contain the valid minibuilds (new and used) from
a set. Sellers are selling minibuilds anyway under 'Set Entry' as new-incomplete
and used-incomplete with the minibuld definition the description.

Separating out the minibuilds would...
- clean up the 'Set Entry';
- improve average pricing effectiveness;
- create an additional avenue for buyers and sellers

I have mentioned it before but it seems it would work even better now with the
New chckout layout

I know we are not eBay or amazon, but the checkout now is simular and it would
be good for items you are not ready to buy in the current order but would like
to buy in the future. (Obviously if the seller still has it)

When you remove an item from your basket currently, you would have to find the
shop/item again, search again the store to find the item and add it again to
your basket.

Id rather it just be saved

As there is almost constant changes going on in the catalogue stores need more
features to ensure they are up to date. For example - we received orders over
the weekends for many of our

3794 Plate, Modified 1 x 2 with 1 Stud, Jumper (Undetermined Type)
Parts: Plate, Modified

pieces which of course have been changed
to

3794a Plate, Modified 1 x 2 with 1 Stud without Groove (Jumper)
Parts: Plate, Modified

. I had to go to my inventory page for the part and change each and
everyone of these from 3794 to 3794a, That 'dropped 4 or 5 small images -
(we will re-do those photos and submit) but they had photos before we changed
them from 3794 to 3794a.Hmmmm

It is a very simple select and update query in SQL - surely one of the developers
can put together a screen to allow us to update multiple items in our inventory
at once. We are in the dark ages here really.

In addition I noticed yet another quirk which is simple enough to sort out but
untouched

We hold bulk amounts for many standard items (in the thousands of each of them)
and decided to set up a tiered pricing schedule for each of those taking 1p off
at each quantity break. Fine - it was still a manual exercise for over 100 items
but we went through that - only to find that we either had to repeat this each
time we added to that part or we would lose that tiered pricing. The options
on consolidate are far too limited. We need at least another method of new price
and retain old tiered pricing.

Neither of these changes require huge amounts of time or development effort but
both have needed doing for some time.

It may be a question of priorities or design or ????? but surely such simple
mods can be dealt with quickly and efficiently.

It does get exasperating sometimes. And Brickstock will not allow you to make
these changes offline and upload them either. We have tried that and failed.
We have also advised Patrick but he has gone missing at present.

Come on Bricklink - the stores need their tools (just like buyers, if not more
so)

Separate professional and private sellers

I have no real personal reason to be posting this suggestion and haven't
thought about what it would mean for my own business, but just something I want
to throw out there as I've been thinking about it for a while.

Why not separate professional sellers and private sellers? I mean with an icon,
a label, a colour, something like that. Right now there are private persons just
getting rid of some old parts they aren't using, and online stores that use
Bricklink as their platform. An entirely different world in every aspect, but
they will show up in exactly the same way.

For years and years there's this eternal clash going on between buyers and
sellers and it seems like they sometimes speak different languages when the buyers
demand "their rights" and the seller has no idea what they're talking about.
Much if not most of the grief going on on Bricklink may be caused by buyers buying
from private sellers and expecting business service. The main example I can think
of now is about whose problem it is when a package is lost, but also tax and
refund issues get confusing if it's unclear whether we're talking about
two people trading or about consumer rights.

So how about labels for private sellers and professional sellers?

Quit marking orders that the buyer checks out using instant checkout as "ready".

Here is the definition of Ready.

https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=41

Ready - Items in order verified, shipping or any additional costs added. Seller
sends an Invoice to the buyer.

It is not possible for BrickLink to verify the items in the order, therefore
the order cannot be marked ready.

Thank you,
Cob

Getting Frustrated Now With Bricklink

I'm starting to get really frustrated now with Bricklink. Maybe you'll
reply?

Is the quote function broken? I had a quote come in 5 days ago and I had no notification
or anything regarding it. I only knew because the buyer messaged me last night.
This is not acceptable.

Your site has duplicated lots on numerous occasions, this is not acceptable.

Also on numerous occasions I've had customers tell me that they cannot checkout
after ironing out potential issues I have found out it's the site, not me.
I've lost money to this and again, this is not acceptable.

Most things you post are vague from every angle and you sit in the shadows whilst
everyone is up in question. Regardless of if the feedback is good or bad you
still push out the garbage updates anyway. This is not acceptable.

Your site is very slow at times and it's getting more and more frustrating
when trying to work. All of a sudden the site will grind to a standstill. This
is not acceptable.

Your ability to inventory used Lego is appalling. Why not work on this rather
than Brickarms? that's right. Money. If it won't make you money then
you won't bother. This is not acceptable.

I sell on BrickOwl too and I've never had a single issue. You may be the
market leaders currently but your cockyness will catch up with you soon. I pay
my monthly fees on time every time and this is the mess I have to work with?
Can't it just 'work'? Why is everything difficult and half made?
Not acceptable. I'm tired of apologising to customers because of the issues
on this site. I dread to think how many people have turned away from my store
and not said anything.

I'm just frustrated and the quote issue lastnight was the tipping point for
me. Fix your site.

I'm aware there's trolls on here so please keep your witty comments to
yourself.

Thanks
Reece

As someone often buys pieces for a project in progress, I wanted to suggest that
the search feature allow you to filter by local sellers. This typically provides
a faster delivery, including occasions where I have been able to meet someone
nearby the same day.
