| 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?

I would like to propose the idea to add the subnavigation to the homepage.
Alot of the times i want to look up the priceguide for a set and it always takes

|
| 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.

I like to have a feature to archive my completed (100%) wanted lists.
I think it is helpfull to clear op the total list, but even to backup them.
Is it possible to add it?
Hope to hear from you soon!

Customizeable columns in the Wanted List view would be awesome. To select what
detail, how many columns, how it's sorted would make this tool really flexible.

|
| 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.

Best (and simpliest) solution would be (in my opinion): the orderdatail page

Explanation": This is very helpfull when Bricklink is in Maintenance mode or
when picking orders in offline-mode (or when our intenet is down). It is also
helpfull for history
For a buyer it would be helpfull as it is the same as the orderplaced datail.

|
| 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.

|
| 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.

| Due to another spammer having appeared on the Forum, and my having to message

post in question.
Is this something that Bricklink can implement?

|
| 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
the new company took over BL and changed things on here.
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
if everyone left feedback. lol. It's the same on ebay.)

Next I tried to give this guy a coupon that would correspond to the cost of shipping,

|
| 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.

|
| 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.

the bit in a way that the search would show me similar items to what I was looking

| 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.

|
| 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.

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

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

| 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 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 pieces which of course have been changed
to . 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)

|
| 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?

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

| 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

|
| I am sure there are lots of sellers who are waiting to see what enhancements
Bricklink as and when the finally release the sellers tools they hafve talked
about..
We would like to see a small modification done now to help on the 'add inventory
screens'. This would take a programmer less than an hour to accomplish and
it would aid most sellers.
When you manually add an item to your inventory you can do it in one of several
ways. When you go this route some things, which are important are missing.
From the main catalogue page for any given part choose Add to my inventory. This
takes you to the add inventory page and fills in some of the details for you
e.g. part no; colour etc, leaving you to add the quantity, price, condition and
any remarks you wish to make. You then click on the review item button at the
bottom and it takes you to the review item page where you do not see all the
relevant information No part no - no remarks. How can you really review the information
if it isn't all presented to review. Good memory? Maybe if you are only doing
the odd one, but if you are using this in anger it would be very helpful if the
review item page had the part no on it as well as the remarks field.
A similar situation occurs with the mass inventory upload. Once you paste your
xml file into the window you choose verify and all the parts in that file are
listed but instead of displaying the part nos for the items it drops them off
despite being in the xml upload.
Again a very minor programming job which would aid the sellers.
Think about it Bricklink. Make the site easier for us to use.
See images attached.

| Hello,
Although Bricklink is an America-based website, is serves a worldwide audiance
now.
My store is base in the Netherlands and I modified the emails from Bricklink
(like the invoice etc.). Now people get these bi-lingual. (Dutch and English)
The only way to make them uni-lingual again is by deleting the non-desired language-text.
It might be an idea to extend the 'List of E-Mail Conditional Block Macro
Tags' with a language-tag. When poeple prefer the text in Dutch, they can
get the Dutch-tekst, if the shop-owner provides it.
If this system is implemented, there should also be a default-tag for the text
that is to be used, if the desired language is not specified in the mail.
This will contribute to a better user-experiance.
As a web-developer, I realize that this is not easely implemented. But it might
be an idea to keep in mind for a next version of Bricklink.
With kind regards,
Carel ten Hove

A couple weeks ago when I had close to ten carts and tabs open (in addition to

to be very helpful for quick navigation to pertinent shops. (And I consequently
made my own quick logo for shoppers.)
As of about a week ago however, all tabs, including stores, now have the BrickLink
standard logo.
I don't know if this lost distinction is the result of a BrickLink site change
or something else. I use Windows 7 and Firefox 58 by the way.

| The "buy wanted lists" feature currently suggests stores that have stop listed

Why does BL suggest a store that refuses to sell to the customer?
Of course, once I go to the store and find out I am stoplisted, I can least favourite
the store and then exclude least favourited stores from the wants list calculation,
but surely it should automatically exclude stores that refuse to sell to me (just
as I can exclude stores that will not ship to me).

|
| Hello,
The subject problem, or new shortfall, has been going on since the roll-out of
BrickLink 2.0.
When conducting an inventory search using the top-center field on each BrickLink
page, for example a search on "dark bluish gray wedge plate" as pictured, the
color gets dropped from the top-center field once the search results are posted.
This behavior is unlike a store search or Items-For-Sale parts search, where
the color is retained in the search field for possible follow-on searches using
the same color, a highly likely circumstance for many projects.
It would be nice if the color were also retained in the top-center field, given
the likelihood that a user will search their inventory for a different part of
the same color.
This desired trait or attribute or whatever term applies, would alleviate the
need to repeatedly type things like "dark bluish gray" under 2.0, just as it
did under 1.0.
Sincerely, Matthew

|
| Hello,
My pc needed a memory clearing and restart. Then with a goal of reopening my
present carts in individual tabs, I landed on the new (global) My Store Carts
page.
In the recent past, right-clicking on each listed store name with cart items
allowed me to quickly open a new tab for each different cart. From there, I
could continue to check for and verify parts in each store from tab to tab while
progressing on a rough build design. (I tend to search stores for common items,
and use the Wanted List for less-common ones, since the start-to-finish Wanted
List process is more cumbersome than simply shopping, and since numerous varying
parts are needed to ensure builds work, are solid, and are in desired colors.)
Now I can no longer open new tabs from the My Store Carts page (nor is it possible
from upper-right cart icon drop-down store options, btw). Furthermore after
clicking on View Cart, a new cart page shows up which is vague on how to shop
in the store associated with the new cart page. (This vagueness is different
than the weird "Search in this store" claim made in the store search field --
weird because it's inaccurate when confined to Wanted List items. However
I am reminded of it, since the similarity is that I don't see how newcomers
are supposed to figure out such unclear or absent navigation information.)
Back to the topic:
Prior steps from prior store carts summary page:
1. Right click on store name;
2. Open store cart in new tab
New and maybe "improved" steps since the above process is now not possible from
the My Store Carts page:
1. Open new tab;
2. Type or Copy & Paste "bricklink.com" into address field;
3. Hover over cart icon and click on View Cart in the drop-down options (By
the way, this generates a new page in which the pertinent store name is not readily
evident in the tab when multiple tabs are open. Instead this tab-name space
is now primarily taken up with the less informative word "BrickLink".);
4. In lieu of having a clear option to continue shopping on the newly opened
page, click on the store name to see what happens -- store shopping page
opens
So assuming one does not want to see the different and more familiar shopping
cart view from the shopping page (i.e. Step 5), the new process is twice as long
as the one which existed a few days ago. (And it involves the creation of a
wholly new alternate shopping cart page, which is interesting.)
In and of itself the above comparison shows only two added steps. However cumulatively
over the course of a project and over months, it adds hundreds and thousands
of new steps to individual shopping, and for the community I guess millions or
billions of newly required user steps are added. And such additions are the
norm, which is now not-so-surprisingly accepted by BrickLink the company.
In short, many visualizations have been spread out and many new process steps
added -- these are the two overarching design elements of BrickLink 2.0,
with some but few exceptions. And some processes get broken along the way and
seemingly left in the dust to never be repaired (e.g. My Store Shopping Settings
... more hundreds, thousands, millions, and possibly billions of added navigation
steps ... to now do this formerly-once task over and over and over again).
I suggest that BrickLink (a) never make previous processes longer; (b) stop spreading
out data to minimize customers' need to scroll and page; and (c) focus on
repairing existing problems in lieu of new page roll-outs.
Sincerely, Matthew

|
| Hi, I'm not sure if it's actually a suggestion. It might be already in
place, but I'm just missing it?
I'm unsure if I can see my invoices (both for orders I have placed as for
orders I have sold) in BL. For all I know, they only get sent by email. Which
is kind of annoying, since I have to switch back & forth between the website
and my mailbox to complete orders. E.g. for searching out the IBAN number that
was in the invoice.
Not only that, but sometimes a buyer requests another sending method, which will
alter the price. It would be very useful to have kind of a version history on
the invoices of a single order.
In general, I believe email is fine for notifications, but all data should be
inside BL, including the generated invoices.
If it isn't: it would be very useful to store the invoices.
If it is: can someone tell me where to find them?
Thanks all!

|
| Hello,
I thought of a suggestion for the shopping cart:
Let's say you're ordering off a wanted list that gets broken up into
4 orders. So you've got 4 carts full of items.
What if... there was a button that could compare the items in your 4 carts against
the other cart's stores to see if the other stores have those items for cheaper.
Then you could have the option to adjust quantities in the carts and buy from
the other seller. I sometimes manually do this.. but it's kind of hard and
time consuming.
For example say you need 5 4x4 plates. And you have them in Cart #1 @ $0.35 each.
But after running the tool it is found that Cart #2's shop has 2 of those
4x4 plates for $0.15 each. Then you could adjust the quantities of cart #1 to
be 3 and then add the 2 @ $0.15 from the cart #2.
Does that make sense? I could explain it better if needed. I love all the tools
bricklink has that make getting the best price possible. I think this would be
a nice feature that would even further help.
Also... I'm a programmer. So if you need to me to implement this feature.
I'll do it. I've got some other ideas too..

|
| Currently if an order is placed with instant checkout, the order goes into an
in progress state while Bricklink waits for some confirmation of payment from
Paypal. The order stays in that state for 10 minutes according to some other
posts in the forum.
I would like the API to be able to access these orders and the stock that is
tied up on them.
The reason is so that I can get an accurate picture of my inventory even if I
have in progress orders.
After all while the in progress order is there, I still have this inventory on
the shelf, but I don't have an order that it belongs to.
The absence of this feature is the only reason stopping me from turning instant
checkout on.

|
| We currently have some damaged items in our shop. We offer them at a discount
and some buyers enjoy being able to buy very cheap items for filling purposes,
among others.
We add the fact that the lots are damaged in the description so that people know
what they're buying. The problem is that when going through a wish list,
bricklink will select those items seeing as they're cheaper and some buyers
understandably don't want to buy damaged items.
Would there be interest in the community to ask bricklink to add a tick box for
'damaged' when used is selected? This would benefit all involved, buyers
could simply select a tick box to identify damaged items and buyers could choose
whether they want to have damaged items taken in account for a wishlist.
If there is another solution that currently exists, we're obviously interested!
Right now we're at the point where we're wondering if we should open
a second store for just damaged items but that would involve a lot more work
on our part and we're not sure if it would be allowed by bricklink.

|
| I don't know if this applies to all sellers but I rarely list my entire inventory
for any individual minifig part all at the same time mainly because whenever
I've done this in the past there usally comes a point when someone will buy
out all your stock in one go however many hundreds of the same part you might
have!
This is usually because you've dropped your guard and are suddenly selling
well below the BL average for the current price/demand and of course at that
point its too late for you to adjust your pricing to fit in line with current
market value. The other thing is I like to hold back stock for future minifig
builds as there's nothing worse than having to buy back minifig parts at
double or even tripple the price you once sold them for yourself!
Anyway getting to the point....
This can mean that with the smaller amounts I list in my store at any one time
I can unknowingly sell out of a part for weeks or months at a time before I even
notice and remember to replensih my store inventory again which is not good for
buyers, not good for BL and certainly not good for me!
Therefore I can't help but wonder whether BL should implement a similar system
to Brickowl where as your picking your order you can also see exactly how many
you will have left in your store thereby allowing you to easily re-adjust your
inventory as you go?
Even ebay has now implemented this feature as I think they also recognise that
this helps prompt sellers to replenish or re-purchase stocks before selling out!
I've also noticed that many other BL sellers try to get around this problem
by creating 4 or 5 listings for the same part all with varyig prices so that
as they sell out at the cheapest price they still have the same item listed at
higher prices but this just creates clutter and makes shopping with these sellers
very frustrating as you end up having to search through quadruple the number
of pages seeing the same items come up again and again!
Really not sure why Sellers do this as its not good for business and I've
quite often found myself having to give up with browsing any further through
their stores.
Does anyone share a similar view on this or perhaps theres a different way around
this that I'm missing?

|
| TL;DR: Please display the seller's positive/negative feedback ratio next
to the store name, instead of a flat feedback count.
----
(My other post goes into too much detail, so I'm pulling out my actual suggestion
into another post.)
I recently purchased from a seller who is now suspended. It turns out, there
were warning signs buried in his feedback about three or four pages back, but
most of his feedback was positive.
I realized after this experience that there is no indication about the seller's
positive or negative ratings, like there is on eBay or Amazon.
There is a number which can indicate the feedback count, but this is not helpful.
If instead of a flat number, it indicates the amount of positive/negative feedback,
I would have dug deeper into the seller's feedback. At least I would have
known that this seller was a risk, and there was a 1 in 50 chance he'll take
3 weeks before he ships.

I (seller) currently have an order with pending item removal requests that I

|
| Sometimes one negative feedback is just not enough, especially when you've
been thoroughly abused and belittled by a seller.
I made a big (for me) purchase from a seller - 1288 pcs in 61 lots.
The seller didn't do anything about, act on it, nothing, until a whole week
when I asked him about it. He said he will pack it in a few days and will ship
it the following week. That's two weeks after I paid for it.
The week after, I followed up on it again.
He said he's working on "all orders as we speak" and again promised shipping
it by the end of that week.
I waited again (this was over two weeks from payment), and still no movement.
In the meantime, he kept getting positive reviews multiple times a day from other
buyers.
This means he's been processing and shipping everyone else's orders,
but deliberately ignoring mine.
Day after day.
For over two weeks.
On week 3, I messaged him again.
This time he said he was packing it that day.
At the end of the day, I followed up again, he said he will mail it the day after.
Over three weeks after payment before he shipped my order, and only after I followed
up with him 4 times.
Just to add icing to the cake, the shipment was missing 83 pieces across 8 lots.
After all this, the most I can give him is one lousy negative review, severely
limited by the number of characters, to be drowned out by all the other customers
he dutifully served while persistently and consistently ignoring mine.
It's just nowhere near proportional to the treatment I got.

|
| I think it should be required that sellers who smoke must post a prominent note
in their store.
Or if sellers who do not smoke sell parts that smell of smoke, that should be
listed on the part.
Getting parts that smell of smoke requires a lot of work by the buyer to remove
the odor, and we should know what we are getting into before buying. Not to mention
that when a seller does not disclose that they are a smoker, they are basically
lying about the condition of the parts.
I am really tired of getting stinky parts.
Sure, some sellers might be tempted to lie about about it, but users would complain.
Then sellers who smoke and fail to disclose their smoking should be treated with
the warning/termination policy applied to buying/selling offences.

|
| 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.

|
| 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.

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

Ideally I would have liked to delete the first incorrect item and then combine

| 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

| Stores need the ability to modify the 'Subject Header' in the order notification
template. This currently is not available to stores, but it should be.
