|
| Here is my suggestion for superlots and how to value the items in a superlot.
Hopefully what I am suggesting makes sense and I explain my suggestion so that
it is understood.
Instead of having the seller price each item in a superlot instead have the seller
set the price for the entire superlot and then BrickLink will assign the price
of each item based on the average selling price of the item at the time the superlot
is listed.
If the seller wants to change the price of the superlot either change the individual
part prices prorata to their original listed price or reprice the items in the
superlot based on the then current average selling price.
I have prepared an example based on a few price points for a superlot. In the
example I have three different price points for the superlot, one close to average
price, one below and one above. The selling price per item changes relative
to the price of the superlot.
This will prevent the possibility of price manipulation for individual items
(selling 9 items for 0.01 and selling the 10th item for 30.00)
I think it makes sense for the seller to price only the superlot instead of individual
pieces as they are likely selling a build, set, or collectible series and
they would like to sell everything for a specific value they aren't thinking
that they want to sell "part 1" for 3.00 and "part 2" for 0.10, they are thinking
"I would like to sell my build for 30.00".
Anyway, I'm sure I lot of people will not like this thought/suggestion, but
that is my suggestion.

|
| When trying to place an order and redeem a coupon for more than the dollar amount
of the order there are a couple of problems.
1. You still have to choose a payment method even though you owe $0. PayPal onsite
cannot be chosen or there will be an error because you owe $0
2. If I choose PayPal (Offsite) it still sends me an invoice with a negative
amount, because the coupon was more than the order.
3. You cannot choose to save the rest of the coupon, instead it is redeemed to
the negative balance you owe.
Please fix these.

| Can we plz have a function for testing our settings.
I have been setting my shipping and have to ask in the forum if i did it correct!
Had the same with the quote function!
Of course there is always a helpfull person but still.
There are two options,
1 a button for testing that shows the result in a screen.
2 the possibility to step further wenn you place an order in your own shop, it
can still be set that you cant make the order final.
Now you cant even go to checkout!
Thx for looking into this,

| I'd like to propose that the 'Clearing' payment status text colour
be changed to #FF4500 (same as 'Processing' order status colour) to make
it clearly distinguishable from the 'Received' payment status?
This would be particularly useful when Paypal Echeques are received.

|
| In My Order Settings - Order Details Settings, it would be useful to be able
to sort order received items by:
Condition, Item No, Color name
This would make pulling an order a lot easier in our case as inventory is separated
by condition and then organized by item number.

|
| Instead or addition to showing the colored brick, Show the percent of positive
feedback in the item listing so I don't have to go to the store and look
at is there.
Here is an example, my numbers are random and not the persons actual feedback.
I even put the feedback that is less than 100% in red as a warning.
Which by the way, I don't understand the point of the colored brick, yes
I understand it relates to the amount of feedback but I can see that one persons
feedback is large and one is smaller.
Thanks,

Can we use short names for the payment method. Currently for example Stripe
is displayed as "Credit/Debit (Powered by Stripe)". Can it simply be called "Stripe".
It would be even better if we had to option to display the micro tag number,
example
27 = PayPal Onsite
26 = Stripe

|
| Instant checkout is great and I am glad we have it now. However, the interface
side of things is still a drama for me. Sometimes someone helps me out sorting
orders, and I found that I'm unable to explain which orders need to be sorted,
since the new system.
"Sort all order that are 'pending' and updated and do not have the grand
total in bold, AND the ones that are 'ready' ONLY when the grand total
IS bold, AND the ones that are 'paid', unless they have already been
sorted or are being sorted'
I have to explain it over and over and we keep ending up with double sorted orders
sometime. Things used to be easy. pending = sort. updated = sort. ready = sorted.
I can compensate some of it by manually changing the status of the orders to
make it clearer what's to be done, yes, that solves part of it. It is just
that it is a bit more mistake-prone than the old system and I have to frown a
little harder to see what's up with the shop than I used to. The inconvenience
is not massive but it is one that persists day after day, and it is an unnecessary
one. Therefore, I think something should change.
I wish that either option of these would be implemented:
1. Do not auto change the status of orders to "ready" when instant checkout is
being used. Let sellers use this to indicate the order really IS ready. All received
orders are always "pending". (And while we're at it, better yet: Do not send
invoices automatically. The majority of webstores I know do not do this. BO also
does not do this. Please let me make my invoices manually. The ones Bricklink
generates are a redundant mix of payment instruction and order confirmation,
both of which already exist)
2. Add a check or other object to indicate SORT and SORTED. How about a red square
meaning SORT that appears by default when the order is placed (paid or not paid),
green when you tap it once meaning SORTED, and orange when tapped again meaning
DO NOT SORT for whatever reason.
I am aware you can split payment and order status. However, my screen is already
too wide as it is, and it involves alot more clicking. Also, I do not want another
status in the list. Just some way purely for the seller's side to have clear
administration about their tasks.

|
| For administrators,
Why don't My Store Shopping Settings hold permanently?
Under BrickLink 1.0, I set my desired shopping settings once, and
they were applied to all open store pages (i.e. tabs) whenever logged in, and
I was done until the end of time ... or under the circumstances until the roll
out of BrickLink 2.0.
Under BrickLink 2.0, desired shopping settings have to be continually
reset for new logged-in sessions, and during individual logged-in sessions, and
under numerous store tabs. All of this effort is required despite BrickLink's
present and inaccurate claims on the My Store Shopping Settings page/window/pop-up.
Please explain why you are unable to provide community members with this 1.0
service level, which has been absent for a year and a half.
Sincerely, Matthew

| You need to show in status layers informations about the whole activities of
the account owner :
ID : when the mouse is over, you should show the total number of commands done
or received...
Date : when the mouse is over, you should indicate the date of first command
and date of last command, and informations about regularity of commands...
Seller/Buyer : when the mouse is over, you should indicate the total number of
sellers/buyers and the average commands done with indication of maximum (32 commands
by this shop) and 1 command to 42 shops among the 52 shops used...
Items/Lots : when the mouse is over, you should indicate all lots received and
number of items received, and informations about those in shop and those owned
in wishing lists...
Ship. : when the mouse is over, you should indicate the total fees paid for delivery
(=== wastings, compared to Mail Direct International PSC...)
Insur. : when the mouse is over you should indicate the total amount wasted for
insurance fees and the use of such service when problems occured! (=== wastings,
compared to Bill !T by use of EJFJ Contexual Computing for retribution of any
useful act...)
Chrg. : when the mouse is over you should indicate the total amount of charges
paid, and indication if this is above or lower to what other bricklink.com users
pay...
Credit : when the mouse is over you should indicate the total amount owned by
other shops and the number of concerned shops, with the maximum due by some of
them and the minimum amount due, and you should indicate the pieces they own
from wishing lists and coupons available and special promotions made by these
shops!!! Read after, for letting the user being able to click on links to open
the shop in a new panel...
Order Total : when the mouse is over you should indicate the total amount paid
for the pieces in all commands (with of course all those deleted, older than
12 months)...
Grand Total : when the mouse is over you should indicate the total amount paid
for all bricklink users/partners services and an evaluation of the position of
the member according to other members...
Pmt In : when the mouse is over you should indicate the number of currencires
used, and the paiement methods used
Status : when the mouse is over you should indicate how many commands were done,
how many are completed (delivered and finalized), and how many are still not
delivered, and how many need to be paid, how many need to be prepared, ...
Changed : I do not know what can be put there, the date does not reflect anything
accurate without EJFJ Contextual Computing, as you can change this date by changing
the status of the command and restoring the previous status by changing it again
and only the date will be kept changed (mistake)!!!
Feedback Me/Them : when the mouse is over you should indicate how many feedbacks
were done by the user, with comparizon to 100% (hidding that some users do not
evaluate correctly their sellers... With Bill !T this is done automatically,
with price proactive adaptation during 20 years, so no constraint and no risk
for anyone, all benefit of the most effective average!
Paid/Pmt Method : when the mouse is over you should indicate how many commands
are paid and some informations which are more accurate from the Status layer
and from the Pmt In layer...
To improve the efficiency of your website, you should add a first table-row with
all these informations, this should be kept hidden, and when a layer
need to be shown when the mouse enter (onmouseover) the header cell, it take
the content of the hidden row to show only this cell content, and this layer
need to be hidden
onmouseout... But when the member clicks on the table header, the row appears
or disappears, showing all informations of all colums and allowing the member
to click on the link to access the different parts of your website, in a new
panel (target="_blank") allowing the member to get more informations or benefit
of coupons and making new commands... and the informations given in this command
allow him/her to have a global view of what has been done on your bricklink.com
website with positive comparizon compared to other users, allowing them to spare
wastings and use more efficiently your tools... thank you for proceeding immediately
: only the best is legal according to EJFJ Principles http://principles.ejfj.org,
and you should not have anything to do to benefit of this, only if you can make
improvements, for the benefit of all, and not only those who use your website
(illegal partiality, unrespect of EJFJ Equity Principle!).

| There is a button reading "Hide Items if Have Qty is ≥ Want Qty" in the wanted
list filtering, but I cannot get this to work. When I tick it and click "Apply"
nothing appears to happen and the button unticks itself.
I used to move all the part with Have Qty = Want Qty to a new wanted list 'Project
purchased' to get a wanted list with only lots of missing parts. Nevertheless
this seems to be a bug. The Checkbox seems to do nothing. It would be really
useful to see those parts missing for a specific project without destroying its
wanted list.

| Hello Bricklink Managers,
I'd like to suggest having a feature where you can have a listing of sets/figures/etc
of what you have without having to be a seller. I know this is primarily a buying/selling
site but I feel this would be a cool feature for users to be able to "show off"
or display their collections without having to become a "Seller". Please let
me know what your thoughts are on this. 
Thanks and have a happy holiday season!

|
| The Quote function really is painful and only good for postage requests.
For example a buyer requested a quote but one of the items was incorrect. I message
him and inform him and he then submits a second quote for just the item that
he wishes to correct.
Ideally I would have liked to delete the first incorrect item and then combine
both quotes but there is no features at all.
Thanks

when I tried to enter my password. I was in landscape orientation and the keyboard
was in the way, and when I tried to scroll the page up so I could type in the
password box, the login window would close. I finally made it work by rotating
the iPad to portrait orientation.
That scroll attempt also caused other screwups, like the cursor and entered text
not showing up in the data entry box, but below it.

|
| Dear all,
We want to make a suggestion to improve the Bricklink catalog.
Every now and then, we receive request from our customers about parts that exist
with different variations, e.g.:
We are asked to explain the differences between the variation. Most of the time,
our customers don’t care about the variation at the end of the day. However,
they have to check all different varieties, e.g. to look for the lowest price.
Based on this issue, we would like propose to list all items with different variations
under the undetermined entry in addition to the entry of the variation.
Example: The part 553a would be listed under the entry of 553a and automatically
the entry of 553.
By following our suggestions, people who do not care about the variation could
simply look in the undetermined entry. Bricklink would thus be a bit user-friendly.
At the same time, people who care about a specific variation could still search
for it.
We hope you like our suggestion.
Don’t hesitate to ask if you have any questions.
Have a nice Christmas!
Cheers,
Wanja from MagicMagnus

|
| When I receive messages from members that have been generated via the Contact
Form, my instinct is to hit the 'reply' button and then proceed providing
a response to whatever question has been posed. THis is the way every other email
or messaging system I have ever encountered works.
But doing so yields an unpleasant surprise: my response is sent to a black hole
instead of the actual sending party.
I (now) know that the member address can be found in the body of the email, but
two things:
1 - Would I ever really want to reply to 'blservice@bricklink.com'? (No)
2 - Replying on a mobile device where copying text segments (the email address)
isn't very easy makes this situation worse
I can't think of any good reason that the sending member's address ISN'T
the one provided upon receipt and would respectfully suggest that it be changed.

|
| When I view instructions in my inventory list, the title is prefixed with
' (Instructions) for Set ' ....
I think it would be helpful if this was done in shop listings, as currently the
only indication that the listing is for just the instructions (apart, possibly,
from a very low price) is buried within the breadcrumb hierarcy of categories
below the listing, where it follows the words 'All Items', which to a
newcomer to bricklink could be taken at first glance to mean all items in the
set.
Otherwise the listing reads exactly the same as one for the whole set.
This has caused me to double-take on a listing on more than one occasion whilst
browsing shops.

|
| Sine the rollout of Instant checkout and various updates there have been a number
of posts regarding the templates BL are forcing users to use.
Would it not be a better idea for the number of templates to be increased so
the stores can have their own choice of how they want it organised and addressed.
This is a simple code change for the programmers and allow some more flexibility
for the stores in addressing the various issues e.g. IBAN and bank details; etc.
Just a thought

|
| Could we *please* be allowed a different minimum purchase setting for international
orders? Maybe even different lot limits
I don't mind small orders ($2+) in the USA, but international orders are
such a pain that I dread anything under $40. Now the customs forms are a minor
hassle, but buyers often don't understand English well, are annoyed at me
over the sky-high USPS rates (as if I can change them), and if I make a mistake
and have to ship a missing part, it costs a fortune.
I don't want to shut off international sales altogether because international
resellers place orders I love. But orders where the postage costs more than
the parts just aren't worth it.

|
| I'm looking through the active listings for used Star Wars sets to price
some items I am adding to my inventory. Every single one I found someone listing
the set as "complete" but in the comments describing the pieces or minifigs that
are missing.
The price guide is really valuable here, as is creating a quality shopping experience
for customers (many of which are brand new to Bricklink).
Sometimes I will send a note to the store owner and ask them to correct, although
it is a lot of work to do it every time and I certainly am not going to follow
up.
I would suggest that BL scan through the comments on used set listings and look
for ones listed as complete with the word "missing" in the comments. Then send
an robo-email to the store owner and bring it to their attention.
... also I think check boxes when adding sets to inventory for "instructions"
"box" "stickers" "minifigures" would be useful but that would take actual programming
and I doubt there are resources for that.

Daily new sellers complain about the lack of communication of BrickLink customer
service.
In the forum they read it's normal the Verification process takes about 6
weeks.
Many discover they CAN be accessed via the bypass password.
They're not open regularly because Bricklink didn't apply all settings
correctly in the Verification process.
This long and incompleted process is hurting Bricklinks reputation and business,
because the items in these stores don't come up in searches.
We want scammers stopped not a discouraging process for normal people.
Admin,
Please complete every setting of the process and confirm once the process is

|
| I believe in instant checkout even though I still have a few problems with it
that are still not being addressed. However:
I believe you should know the cost upfront of your cart, fees and shipping before
being obliged to pay.
I recently placed an order and again the fees and extra are so buried within
the terms the parts cost become 34% more! also I was invoiced for the larger
box option, and I know if using the instant checkout the parts would have easily
fit into the smaller letter rate. I read the terms 3 times and still some fees
were still easily missed.
This happens over and over again, its not a one off.
I think it should be mandatory by Bricklink that any seller not using Instant
checkout will
Automatically will have the Quote option enabled.
What is the harm in that?
Every customer can make a decision up front if the fees and postage are reasonable
and acceptable. When im invoiced a total random bunch of fees I am not entered
into the contact agreement before knowing them.

|
| I notice for many months that you annouced wishing to allow wishlist sharing
possibilities, and according to all the needs requested by all type of users,
I propose you the following method, which is very easy and cheap to implement
in the database...
Beside the Wishlist sharing actuator, add a dropbox with the following items
(activate those whoch are useable, from easiest to most complex (last one...)
:
- visibility (give a sharing link like http://sharing.bricklink.com/wishlist767676
and whatever you need but no personal informations, all need to be encrypted
with numbers or letters)
- visibility + global comment (one comment field for all users, and especially
wishlist owner to allow sharing ideas... Only owner can delete part of the comment!
But all those who have the link can add new lines below, signed with their bricklink
identifier/username!)
- visibility + personal comment (comments can be added by anyone, signed with
the bricklink identifier/username of the member, and can be reedited and completed
by the wishlist owner and by the member who has access to the wishlist, this
is like in any shop comment tool...)
- propose item ability (allow the user to propose with his blicklink username
a new item to the list, which need to be accepted by the wishlist owner before
appearing in the wishlist to all others who have access to it...)
- add item ability (allow the user to add an item, signed by his bricklink username,
without confirmation requested by the wishlist owner who can delete it, as any
other item)
- define quantity ability (allow the user to change the quantity of owned items,
if possible with his username so that the wishlist owner can see where the requested
pieces are : make another table with only items id and quantity (not color :
defined in the wishlist owner's database! and no specific information, as
the number of requested items is calculated from the rest of missing items less
the ones already owned by this wishlist user... When any user add some pieces
in the wishlist as found, the amount of such requested pieces is reduced, till
the pieces are given/sold to the wishlist owner...))
- define requested quantity ability (allow the user to change the quantity of
requested items and owned items, if possible with his username so that the wishlist
owner can see where the requested pieces are...)
In all wishlists, add a colour converter, as requested previously : it will be
much easier to change for example all orange pieces in this wishlist by same
blue ones or/and all the yellow ones by red ones, and this step by step with
all sorts of colours! To replace red by black and black by blue, it need to pass
by another coulour so please check that there are no pieces of this coulour in
the set now so that coulour are not all mixed up (very rare colour are perfect
for this, and the special technic pieces stay in the available colour, and the
user should be able to choose if he wants to keep the standard colour for special
technic pieces or use the more expensive personalized ones... and choose how
much he wants for each of them (with + and - buttons beside the number field,
the rest staying in standard black/light blueish grey/... colour))...
Thank you for proceeding, feel free to ask more accurate questions to undertand
better what I tried to explain shortly...

|
| Please, make the “Wanted Items” tab in the Buy page more visible.
The default is on the “Wanted Lists” tab (first pic), which simply lists WLs
and show their fulfillment percentage.
But few know about the second tab, “Wanted Items” (second pic), which allows
to:
— select items individually,
— make them mandatory or not,
— see how many of each a store has,
— know which items haven’t been found / fulfilled in the current list of selected
stores.
My suggestion would be either to make the simple fact there’re tabs more visible
(adding icons or obvious buttons?) or to simply get rid of the simple view (just
add the fulfillement percentage near the WL’s name in the more complete view).
(Already two questions today for which “Wanted Items” was the answer. And several
more in the past weeks.)

|
| I'd like to see an additional package adjustment. Add x weight for each
lot in the order. (I suppose volume could be done too, but weight seems most
important)
If this were available, I would add 0.015 ounces per lot. My estimate of average
baggie weight. (Qty 100 2x2 baggies = 1.5 ounces)
In my experience 14.5 ounces of ABS in one lot will easily ship at the 15.9 ounce
USPS First Class Package rate (US domestic). But 14.0 ounces in 75 lots will
certainly exceed the maximum weight for the USPS Domestic First Class Package.
NOTES: Base weight in this scenario 1.0 ounces for me. #2 bubble mailer, 9x12
baggie, 1 sheet of paper, and one 4x6 thermal label. A 5% weight adjustment
on lot weight would put the 14.5 ounce order as too heavy, while the 14.0 ounce
order is under 16 ounces. Which is the opposite of what I want to happen.
Questions: for US sellers with reliable instant checkout, what base weight
& percentage adjustment are you using today? I don't really care about
14 ounces vs. 15 ounce rate. Just the under/over when there is a large rate
jump.

|
| Dear team,
I would like to propose a small change to the "Mass Feedback Post" functionality.
Situation:
I use the "Mass Feedback Post" function a lot, giving feedback to all customers
once an order is shipped. I use the link on the "orders" page of my store.
Problem:
The "Mass feedback" page lists both orders that were made in my store, as well
as orders made by me in other people's stores. This regularly causes me to
praise stores I bought lego at to be "great buyers" Since it's not possible
to change feedback once posted, I can't give them the feedback I want.
Analysis:
As a User Experience Analist, I often tackle these kind of UX problems. In this
case what a user expects from a funtion (giving feedback to customers) differs
from the actual functionality (giving feedback to all orders that qualify). As
the user is in a customer context, it's strange that the "buying context"
is mixed.
Proposed solution:
There are multiple ways of solving this of course, one of these two should work
best I think:
1. Split the functionality. From the my store orders page, clicking the "mass
feedback" link should list only orders from buyers in your store, not the orders
you placed. From the "my orders" page it should work the other way around fo
course.
2. Divide the screen in two: List all orders in your store first, list orders
you placed below them clearly indicated as a seperate list.
I hope someone recognizes this as a problem as well, and I hope you find this
a valuable suggestion!
Kind regards,
Wouter Slager

|
| Hello together,
as we have been using Instant Checkout for a while now, we want to share some
suggestions for improvements.
One issue we would like to emphasize is that only usernames are noted in Paypal
once an order is placed by using IC. We – and most likely many other Bricklink
Sellers – would highly appreciate if the Order-Id would also be shown in Paypal.
To know the Order-ID is crucial for businesses like us, e.g. when it comes to
taxation issues, where we need to allocate a concrete Order to each payment.
With the current system, we need to do that manually, what requires a lot of
effort which could easily be saved.
Another improvement we would love to see would be to show buyers already in the
shopping cart how much weight they can add without falling in the next higher
category of shipping costs. This would help the buyers to optimize their orders
if they like to.
Furthermore, we are experiencing some rounding errors concerning the VAT of shipping
costs. Currently, the VAT of the shipping costs is constantly rounded up (e.g.
EUR 1.0005 is rounded to EUR 1.01). This is not coherent with the rounding of
the item values which is correctly rounded commercially (e.g. EUR 1.0005 should
is rounded to EUR 1.00). Because of that, it is currently not possible to have
shipping costs of e.g. EUR 5.90 while having the VAT calculated correctly.
Finally, we would appreciate to have the option to hide the item dimensions (but
not the weight) when looking at particular orders. This would make printing orders
more printer-friendly. In this regard, we would also appreciate if the prices
could be rounded to 3 positions after decimal point (e.g. EUR 1.034). The current
rounding to 5 positions after decimal point (e.g. EUR 1.03456) is not useful
from our perspective. The potentially saved space could ideally be used to extend
the space of the item description. Again, this would make an order way more printer-friendly.
Although we know that the issues concerning making order more printer-friendly
are minor points. However, we want to emphasize them so that they might be implemented
in the future.
Thank you very much!
Cheers,
Wanja from MagicMagnus

|
| In the Instant Checkout, Package restriction, please add "Maximum # parts" This
is required in order to ensure that a package is not larger than permitted.
For example, an order of 100 1x1 plates would be fine as lettermail, however
1000 of them would not fit, and thus would need to be shipped as a package.
Thank you for your consideration with this.

|
| Instant checkout is pretty cool, and the BL team even took the trouble for us
to retrieve tables of postage costs from various postal services across the world.
Sweet!
However, the same could be done for payment methods, but currently the system
involves manually enter a percentage fee.
In the EU, it's not allowed to overcharge payment methods. Of course it's
legally allowed to charge anything as long as buyer and seller agree, but it
would be much more neat and more right for Bricklink ethics if there was no ability
to overcharge.
SUGGESTION: Auto-calculate payment method fee instead of allowing manual percentages.
This can be done in exactly the same way the system currently entertains postage
prices. It would be extremely useful, as for example PayPal fee percentages are
difficult to find out, difficult to remember, and difficult to calculate with
manually. This has always been giving sellers a quasi-valid excuse to overcharge
on it.
I hope that in the future custom percentage fees can be abolished entirely.
P.S.: In some countries it is not allowed to charge an additional fee for a payment
method. That's another topic. Bricklink could gray out the option for certain
region/payment method combinations, or simply leave it to the seller's responsibility.
Whatever is legally OK for Bricklink.
P.S.: A next step could be to calculate any percentage fees in the listings automatically.
This can be done by matching a seller's payment options to a buyer's
specified payment options, picking the cheapest, retrieve the fee, and factor
it into search results, into browsing in stores, etc.

| I believe it would be very helpful for the collection of statistical data if
the way the search in Find Stores' returned its results was altered to include
a column for Instant checkout enabled/adopted. Use the same Lightning bolt that
is currently being used simply add the column rather than having to go back and
forth betwee the searches - without IC and the 2nd with
The example shown reflects the UK's top 11 stores for no of items. 5 of the
11 have implemented it so far. 6 haven't, for whatever reason.
This would save having to make 2 searches (and less calls on the server) apart
from making it easier to gather the data.

|
| To better adapt order notification and order invoice templates for instant and
non-instant invoices/payments, I suggest an "INSTANT" conditional block macro
tag.
From my point of view, we can improve the communication with our customers and
their shopping experience if the e-mails they receive do not contain unnecessary
or inapplicable information.
Example: We received messages from customers who asked "Why do I receive an invoice
with payment instructions? I already paid!"

| Does anyone else think the checkout page needs to be modified? The first option
for store terms "Agree & Continue" makes it seem to the buyer they are agreeing
to commit to the order w/ the shipping option shown as soon as they click on
it. It even says "Items will be reserved for you, and you will obligated to
purchase them." right under the Agree & Continue button. This message shouldn't
be displayed until the Place Order button shows up. I would also rather have
the Shipping tab show up first or leave S&H empty until they reach that tab so
the buyer can see all options available.

We could offer free shipping by setting it to 0 or for example a flat $10 shipping
fee. Either only for domestic shipping and two values, one for International,
one for Domestic.
When browsing, buyer could see a specific free/flat shopping icon.
If the item with specific shipping is bundled with other items, it would be excluded
from the calculation and its flat shipping fee added to the result (if any).
Further more, in search filters, we could select items with free/flat shipping.

The real problem is that I'm unable to test my store settings from a customer's
perspective. This is %$#%@# ridiculous. No store on the planet has a policy
that stops employees and management from taking items to a register and going
through check out process (and then void the sale, or abandon it before finishing).
Now this new instant check out has me setting up a system that I'm barred
from using without going to someone else's store to experience their *different*
configuration.
I guess I need to set up a shill account in violation of BL's terms just
so I can make sure my store works as I intend?

| Until the automatic checkout feature is able to calculate state sales tax, allow
orders from specified USA states to be blocked.
This should be done at the store level. Very similar to the check boxes for countries
to ship to.
In my case, I’ve tried to get around the lack of a tax calculation line item
by creating a special shipping choice for Florida residents which includes a
6% fee. I can still lose out on up to 1.5% because cities and counties can have

In practice, none of my orders from new buyers select the Florida Residents option,

me through the Bricklink site? Rather than having them generated from blservice@bricklink.com.
When I hit reply, the response goes back to Bricklink instead of to the email
author.
Either that or have it sent to a dead email address so at least I will get an
error that it wasn't delivered.
This has probably been suggested before.

|
| I have just had an instance where a buyer has placed an order in my store and
paid with an echeque. I had set the status to clearing whilst the echeque cleared
and the buyer has
gone and placed another order which instead of creating a new order has been
added as an addition to the old one. This is making things messy.
My suggestion is that any order set to clearing should have the same status as
paid or packed and not allow any additions but create a new order.

| Hi,
With the exception of one message (October 13) without the standard subject "Regarding
BrickLink Order #_______", all of my Inbox and Outbox non-Order# messages over
the last few months have been removed.
I did not delete these messages, and as a matter of routine do not delete any
BrickLink messages, since they're eventually cleared out after six months
or so. Recent messages are important, because they provide a record of shipping
quotes and other communications with potential buyers.
Please restore them, Matthew

|
| Hi Admins,
Please consider-
We have set up multiple shipping methods to handle different shipping box sizes
and weights, all these have been "grouped" as one as they all refer to one shipping
option for the buyer that being UK domestic 1st class. The system is designed
to offer only the lowest priced option within the group to the buyer and so far
this seems to work well
However it makes the shipping terms look very messy with rows of options looking
exactly the same of which only one will be offered to the buyer at checkout (see
our shipping terms as an example). Would it be possible to "hide" all these options
and just show a summary description of the shipping method by "group" in the
displayed shipping methods?
Thanks,
Robert

I would like to suggest a category split:
I like to purchase printed tiles, but I am not interested in parts that have
stickers already applied. Currently, the category for "Tiles - Printed" has
a great number of parts which are not printed but actually a sticker.
My suggestion is to create two categories: "Tiles - Printed" which is reserved
only for true printed parts, and "Tiles - with Sticker" for the others.

|
| A recent forum message just reminded me of a concept I thought of awhile ago.
Please consider creating 3 options for wanted list viewing among users.
Private:
Default option. No one else can see your any of your lists.
Limited:
Much like reserving items where you enter a user name. This would allow one
person of your choosing to view a specific list.
Public:
One or all of your lists can be seen by everyone.
I recognize that this isn't the most important upgrade that is needed, however,
a feature such as this has been wanted by many for a long time.

|
| It would be very helpful if in the part descriptions submitters were required
to put colours where appropriate. For example and especially for minifig torso
assemblies.
If someone submits a new minifig torso or legs assembly they should fill in a
short form for Hip colours, leg colour(s) as well as torso colour, arm colour
and hand colour.
If we could get this as a requirement it would make life much easier especially
when using tools like goatleg.
If the description doesn't include all this information then Goatleg doesn't
always find it and that makes identifying some of these parts much harder than
it needs to be.

|
| I have noticed that, there is no easy way when using the auto select option on
wanted lists to compare it to the actual wanted list. Sometimes the selector
will get more than 100% of the parts needed and there is no way to see what parts
are being doubled up on. Also, when not all 100% of parts are located there
is no simple way to see what parts haven't been ordered so I cannot select
alternate parts. Basically unless I get a 100% match I cannot place an order
without either wasting money on parts I don't need or ordering an incomplete
model

|
| Hello all. I have been going through the Members - Feedback ratings list, going
on page 21,158 to find information on something that I have been wondering about.
Well in doing this I have seen thousands of users that don't seem to be
"active" users. So I am thinking the 731,476 registered users is somewhat irrelevant.
Many are a once and done, sort of user.
I would like to suggest, that leaving the registered user count intact, but add
the count of "Active" users. Have BL not count the inactive users after say
6 months or 1 year, of actual log in date. This would give us all a better idea
of how many actual users are using BL. This could work just as the purge orders
after 6 months. This would still allow a user to log in after being put into
not active, and then would be in the active number for the 6 months or year.
What say you?

|
| Hi,
I recently commented that the apparent BrickLink-imposed delay of 29 (or 30)
minutes may wrongly give customers the impression they must complete their order
within this time frame, as opposed to my and others' store closed messages
which often state to simply contact the seller for a bypass password, allowing
for however much time, often days, a seller can provide a particular customer
to finish their shopping cart. In short, I think the store closure message is
more polite than the 29-minute countdown.
Another consideration is that the 29-minute delay means the store is simply not
closed when a store owner wants it to be.
For example, I recently made a large discount error across many more lots and
item types than intended. I didn't know how to quickly undo the change without
messing up other pricing considerations, so I "closed" my store to ensure no
orders were placed with erroneous pricing.
However my store was not actually closed, based on BrickLink's imposed delay.
And during the five to ten minutes needed to set things straight, an order could
have been placed based on unintended pricing.
I recommend that stores close at the moment when store owners want them closed.
Sincerely, Matthew

| For many years, I have used the "Item Finder" instead of "Search" at the top
of most pages as I find the functionality better, specifically for filtering
the country of origin of seller.
I again find the "new" search pages not as helpful. I click on "USA" for origin,
then click details, and it shows all parts, not just the sellers in "USA" for
example.
I wanted to pass along this user feedback and see if anyone else has easier and
better ways to find parts. I do not see the "Item Finder" on the new pages,
and suggest that it remain.

|
| Hello,
I think that implementing a shipping method setting allowing or disallowing to
buy without VAT would be very helpful for VAT-registered sellers from the EU.
All orders received from buyers outside of the EU are automatically placed without
VAT, but sometimes sellers can only sell without VAT using particular shipping
methods. Of course VAT can be added manually to order if needed, but what about
upcoming instant checkout?
This setting would allow sellers to set shipping method to automatically add
VAT to orders in checkout when buyer selects such shipping method, even if the
buyer is from outside of the EU.
What do you think sellers?
Best regards,
Tomasz

|
| Maybe I'm missing this option somewhere on the site, but I don't see
a way to quickly revisit a store you ordered parts from recently. I liked the
services of some of these stores so I want to go back to them to see if they
have the additional parts I need.
I would have expected a link on the My Orders page to see the seller's store,
but all I can find is detailed information about the seller minus a link to his
actual store.
I would also have expected a link to the stores I've ordered parts from under
recent activity, but again I don't see anything.
I did find a way to add the store as a Favorite, but that involved a decent amount
of work to copy the seller's id into the field to add them to the list just
so I can get a link back to that seller's store.
Is this an odd behavior to want to revisit a store?

For instance, explain how what the suggestion asks can be done when the status
goes from “open” to “implemented” or “already exists.”
Take this suggestion: https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1053439
It has recently been marked as “already exists.”
However, the situation didn’t change: When opening a “cart,” we’re not taken
directly to the cart. It depends on the store’s settings.
How can we go directly to a cart?

I think the best option is for a moderator to manually comb through all new threads

|
| The Bricklink catalogue has the perfect base for this change but it is a question
of whether the developers feel they can do it with minimum effort. Each item
in the catalogue has a PCC as well as its mould or design id number associated
with it. The PCC code is Lego's element id and it is what they print in their
instructions.
There have been lots of comments both in and out of the forum concerning part
weights and how there is a variance between colours of the same part number.
We have also experienced this. The simple way to deal with this is to add a weight
field against the PCC in the catalogue. This would allow the system to hold the
individual weights for each colour part and could be used to more accurately
provide cart weights for instant checkout when it comes out of preview.
