Is there any reason why a function to part multiple unique sets can't implemented?
For example it would save a huge amount of time if I could sort all the lots
from three copies of five different sets and pack everything away once, rather
than having to go through the whole part out process five times.

I'd like to be able to search for stores within a specific range (ie 10km,
20km, 50km) from my postal code. Seeing that a seller is in a given province
(in my case) means they could be around the corner or 12 hours way in Thunder
Bay. Being able to search nearby stores would be a fantastic option. It would
be an option to opt into, whereby a store must enable the feature to show up
in nearby store searches. This would allow stores to disable the feature in
case they are uncomfortable with the feature.

Hi all.

Suggestion ….

Feedback is not always left by the customer. Positive is left most times, and
a customer will always leave negative or neutral if there is something wrong.

One assumes that if nothing is heard from the customer, it must have been delivered
and was ok. Therefore - Can we have an automated positive feedback say after
2 months(or whatever length of time is felt suitable) of order being delivered
for all orders still showing as shipped. It could also be implemented if the
seller has not given feedback.

Thanks

Tracy

Hello,

New uses, sorry if this has already been suggested and/or is available and I
can't figure it out, but I'm wondering if you can sort by county of seller?

Some pages use page titles specified, some don't (for instance wanted lists).
I wish we could get better pagetitles (in the tags) programmed. If i
open up multiple tabs of bricklink pages (multiple wanted lists or sets, parts
etc) they all look alike and i have no idea which is which because the site does
not use page titles.

Instead of:
Bricklink - Search your wanted list

I would like to see:
SC Scale Porsche 911 GT3 RS - Wanted list - Bricklink

Pushing the sitename to the end of the page title would already be a helping
factor but you could make better titles.

This would also help the sites SEO, but it's just easier to work with and
use multiple tabs.

my 2 cents/wish.

Thanks for listening

Firstly love the site.

Been a buyer for a few years now.

And I'm starting to use wanted lists.

And while I'm gooding through a store for a particular part, I'll come
across and item listed in one of my Wanted lists.

If I'm at a large store their maybe a few.

It would be nice to have an option / filter to just list parts in your wanted
list(s).

You may decide to get more parts from that sttore than intended.

Regards

Andrew

Hello everyone!

I'm a long-term buyer on Bricklink, but have recently started to sell here
as well, and I've been looking through all of the various areas of data in
the site (which has been an amazing process), and I haven't been able to
find anything that shows the most commonly sought-after parts -- either by
direct request, or by inclusion on member "wanted lists".

Is there an area or process that is already programmed for the calculation and
display of the most wanted parts by the members?

Or is this a time-crunching labour-of-love process of comparing part quantities
currently for sales vs. sold in the last 6 months, etc.?

Just want to make sure that I'm stocking what people really want to get their
hands on -- aren't we all?

Thanks for any info you can offer!

Todd / Happyakrz

As german seller in order to follow german law I want to be able to customize
the button displayed on the final checkout page (currently "Place Order") so
that it can be localized as needed by the shop owner.

Some background for emphasize the need (german only though sorry!): https://www.haendlerbund.de/de/downloads/whitepaper-button-loesung.pdf

This setting should be implemented in an optional way (when not defined default
BL text will be displayed). Furthermore a checkbox for displaying it to domestic
buyers only might be helpful.

To any other (german) seller: Please add to this idea / feature request so that
we can use BL again

sincerely

Could the weight of an item be added as one of the search options? It would
really speed up finding unusual parts if I could just plug in the weight and
bring it up.

When I ship an order with a courier and I get a track-and-trace code, I also
add a URL to the message with which the buyer can easily keep an eye on the courier's
website and the status of the parcel.

This URL however can only be inserted as plain text and looks rather old school
and not quite professional as I would like to see. An image is attached to show
what I mean.

Is it a possibility there's some kind of HTML options added to the shipment
message with which we -the sellers- are able to create good looking messages?

If something like this already exists or if there are any other options I might
have overlooked, please do inform so.

Hello!

I mainly take payments by three different methods, PayPal, Stripe and IBAN.

I want to be able to accept any currency possible through Stripe, accept only
Euros and USD on paypal and only euros by IBAN. Currently you need to make a
note for all the payment methods, or only acccept some currencies.

For example, for IBAN, I'm sure that no one would pay in any other currency
than Euros, but I wish I would be able to tell buyers that they can pay in any
currency through Stripe, but not paypal. If I allowed all currencies, I'm
sure that a lot of buyers would mistakenly pay by paypal in other currencies,
even if I specified it in the notes. There is no way to really, automatically,
enforce that.

Thanks.

Please consider adding an attribute to the lots DB, specifically for parts, that
indicates the part has been custom modified. This could be a physical dimensional
change (e.g. Removing the clip from a plate mod 1x1 with clip vertical, to yield
a basic plate 1x1) or could be parts which have custom engraving to signify events
(e.g. Wedding, engagement, opening of a business, new baby, life milestones,
etc).

The title says 'catalog', but that is slightly misleading. I can't
image actually having a catalog entry for a custom modified part, when in fact
the entire purpose of the attribute would be to use the existing catalog entry
to house these parts, and to allow them to be found/suppressed (as appropriate).

The description would have to contain user entered information about the custom
mod.

It would be cool if there wasw a "generate minifigs" button on the inventory
page that would check through your store's inventory and see what official
minifigs could all be created with the individual headgear/hair/head/torso/legs/etc..
pieces you have for sale.

Hi there!

If I want to find something in this forum via Google or DuckDuckGo, all pages
have the same headline in Google Results: "BrickLink Discussion Forum - All Replies

Would be nice, if you could put topic's subject also in the HTML title tag.

I would like to see more customers leave feedback after receiving their orders.
It should probably not be mandatory to write something, positive or negative
should be enough and the option to write a message if one wants to.

Feedback really helps the seller, and is a nice gesture after an enjoyable transaction.

Hi,

Pls create separate category for stickered parts so that we dont have to go through
them when we are browsing items only with decorated/printed ones.

Thanks.

Hi,

Not sure if this has been brought up in earlier suggestions but I am giving it
a go anyway.

I would like to see the possibility of creating a coupon which is valid for all
buyers. Right now this is only limited to a certain username.

Kind Regards,

Hi,
In my opinion, during the selection of stores in the panel "buy", the information
on the windows "Confirm Store Selection" or "Edit Store Selection" are not sufficient.

I face 2 main problems :
1) Once I've finished to select sellers, I must create a cart to access the
"notes from seller".
In fact "new" or "used" are not enough detailled. For used parts, these notes
are important because some parts could be used in good condition, or used in
bad condition (for example "yellowed", or "scratched").
Furthermore, by creating carts, I book parts before be sure that their conditions
will fit my needs. And during my check, they are not available for other people.

-- I suggest to add the column "note from seller" in the windows "Confirm
Store Selection" and "Edit Store Selection" (picture "edit store")

2) When I need huge amount of parts ( ~3000 ), during the store selection I don't
find the information of how many required parts a store have for me.

-- In windows "Confirm Store Selection" or "Edit Store Selection", I would
appreciate to have the global value of "Total buying" parts in the current storen
near the total cost. (picture edit store)

-- In the tag "Buy", could the column "Item count" of the stores list counts
only the availables parts I need ? ( if store has parts ID 3001 x4000, but I
need x26, do not count 4000 but 26). (picture "buy wanted list")

Can we do anything about the fact that searching "mtron" and "m tron" bring up
different results?


Also the search engine doesn't recognize apostrophes. Like I can search "Emma
house" but "Emma's house" give me an error message.

Thanks for the consideration.

Apologies if either of these have been suggested before, they are huge frustrations
for me.

An annoyance I experience with the Want List main page is having to change the
Sort By from Newest to Alphabetically each and every time I visit the page. I
have over 30 lists and could care less when they were created, I just want to
quickly find the one I'm looking for. So, can the Sort order be permanently
saved or turned into an account preference?

Second, in almost every place that parts are listed on BL (including order details),
one can click on the image to see a bigger version in a lightbox modal... that
is, everywhere except for wanted lists. Please consider making the images there
also lightboxes, because it's cumbersome having to open item detail pages
just to get a better view.

Thank you.

Hello,

When entering my address in Israel on Bricklink, the site forces me to choose
a "district". Choices include Mehoz HaMerkaz, Mehoz Tel Aviv, etc.

These are not part of our address in Israel, but rather are used only in the
court system.

Please remove this field from addresses in Israel. I fear that it might create
confusion in the postal service and also among new buyers.

Thank you,

Just wondering about the share wanted list feature that's coming soon...
Will I be able to upload photos and renderings of my wanted list? or Will
that just make it exactly like the stud.io gallery?

Currently it says
Invoices
Shipments
Drove-thru

Would like to see
Orders
Invoiced
Paid
Packed
Shipped

Orders -- these need to be invoiced
Invoiced-- seller has sent the invoice
Paid --- buyer has paid
Packed-- seller has packed the order
Shipped -- seller has shipped the order, and can complete drive thru here
to move it out of the shipped bucket

Same for buyers. Not sure why everything was condensed to three options when
there are more stages than this and with IC, items move quickly through the stages
and skip some.

Thanks for the consideration.

Hi,

On the "Buy Wanted Lists" page, when choosing a store, the site adds all parts
possible to the first store chosen's cart. Then, once I choose a second store,
it adds all remaining parts to the second store's cart.

Is there a way to choose two (or more) stores at once, and then the site will
distribute the parts between the two stores, choosing whichever store is cheapest
for each part?
(This feature is available on BrickOwl, and really help pull down the cost of
purchasing an entire wanted list there. I'm hoping this is also possible
on Bricklink, but I haven't figured out how to do it if it is).

If you press auto-select then the site does what I am describing, but I don't
always want to use the single solution that auto-select provides (often due to
one stores shipping costs).

If it isn't possible, is it possible to request this from the Bricklink developers?

Thanks,
-Reuven
