  hi Everybody,

just have a problem:

Syncing my store shows problem at above mentioned parts.

Brick, Round 1 x 1 x 1 2/3 is in

bricklink 71075
brickowl 71075
peeron 71076
brickscout 71076


andLEGO Curved Pipe 1.33 is

bricklink 71076
brickowl 71076
peeron 71075
brickscout 71075


Also there is a a problem in the system: the curved i had 11 in stock, sold 3
on brickowl but those were shown there as 71075 - might there be a problem in
any meta data or something like that? after 3 straight are sold, BL shows
8 left on the curved ones (just put back to 11 now, due to cancelled order)

What can I do? Can any admin maybe look up which is the right data to solve this
issue?

Best regards
Pierre


see instructions 8495 "crosstown Craze" on lego.com on inventory page
https://www.lego.com/cdn/product-assets/product.bi.core.pdf/4537375.pdf
you see number 71076 is the legonr for the curve. So BL has the right code

OK That's clear, how would you describe them?

Beste Allemaal

Na een aantal jaar pauze willen we binnenkort onze winkel weer openen.
We zijn nu alles actueel aan het maken.

Een paar vraagjes:

Klopt het dat de shared shipping methodes niet actueel zijn?
We dachten dacht dat als je een shared methode kiest en de oorspronkelijke methode
wordt aangepast dat je dan met een update knop deze weer kan bijwerken.

We begrijpen dat de tarieven per 2023 weer gaan veranderen en ook de opbouw van
de tarieven.
Welke shared shipping methodes zouden we het beste kunnen kiezen om dit allemaal
bij te houden?

Graag tips om dit allemaal in goede banen te leiden

  I had enough of these in the last few weeks that waiting 2 full weeks is painful
to complete them.

I don't mind the 1 week to pay before it is started. But another full 7 days
to complete the NPB is not necessary.

I would propose 3 additional days and that is it. Let us get our stock back
in our stores to sell to someone else instead of being held at our will for 14
full days when 10 is plenty enough.

I can't be the only one that feels this way and 14 days might have worked
10-15 years ago when access to Smart-Phones wasn't as widespread, but these
days, you can't go far without having the ability to respond. Thanks

Things can happen.
I had an NPB last weeks. Suddenly 4 days after starting NPB (so the order is
12 days old, the buyer reacts.
There was an internet outage and his dayly business get all his attention. He
didnt check Bricklink and forgot his order. Now all was working again and he
give his apologies. He paid and I removed the NPB (will give positive feedback).
So the timeline 7 days plus 7 days is ok for me.

  Hello.
I would like to indicate a problem when it comes to register my adress in the
bricklink system.
I am from Belgium and more specificaly from the "Province du Luxembourg", which
is different from "Luxembourg", the country.
In the system, when I have to chose my region, I can only select "Luxembourg"
and not the "Province du Luxembourg" and end up with an adress ending with "Luxembourg
Belgium", instead of "Province du Luxembourg Belgium". Needless to say that
the firt option is a mess as the post offices get completly confused when it
comes to chosing in which country the lego should be sent...
Could you fix this please?
Thank you!
Reci

Hello Reci,

I recommend not to fill your region for Belgium adresses.

Belgium post can send you all with: name, street, nr, postcode and city

Example :
M. Dupont
Rue du Cornet 6
B-4800 VERVIERS
BELGIUM

Filling in Province/region is needed for country's as Australia and USA

I always check "how to address" before putting the address on the envelope:

I would prever BrickLink to make 1 field (with minimal 8 rows) as where the BrickLink
member can fill in the exact address as prefered for their own country. So a
seller can copy and past this 1 to 1 on the envelope.


In a lot of cases you have to change the layout of the address, because BrickLink
mixes the fields just in the wrong way. (as preferred by the country's rules)


I do the "how to address" step to avoid misunderstanding so that the shipment
arrives without problems.


Regards, Nico

It is to avoid all store change their names so they get on top of the list

I dont think this will work, it is very easy to make some fake accounts and
buy 10 times and give 10 x feedback.

Maybe it is possible to add a sort of "verified account" status.
Only if an account is verified they can sell.
Or only If they are verified a red flag turns in a green flag. As long as a seller
has a red flag every buyer in that shop gets a popup at checkout with warnings
to be carefull before purchasing.

A group of "certified" volunteers can verify all the adress and account-info
before turning it into a green flag. With every adress or account change a seller
must go through the process of verifying again. (to prefend hackers or accounts
taken over by other persons)

Subscribe me as a volunteer.

The whole point of starting from 10 successful buying transaction is that they
cannot start multiple seller accounts to gain feedback.
Also isn't it better to make a scammer jump through some obstacles before
being able to scam? this suggestion makes the seller do some work to gain access
to selling where NOW he can just scam, if it doesn't work he opens a new
account and starts again- so easy. having to make 10 purchases will make the
person get a paypal account (most scammers don't have PP they ask for wire
transfers)
This idea is good because it is simple to implement- it won't solve the problem
100%- but will over 90%

I agree with you, your idea is great.
But why not going for 99,8% instead of 90%

I've seen scammers do more for less effort.
Also here on Bricklin; making several accounts, buying from each other for several
weeks and then at a sudden they sell the "If it seems too good to be true, it
probably is" things

Hi Nico, I've tried but I've failed too.

I look for all links from the "My BL" screen as that is the start point for everything
I do on BL.

I see in the menu:
- Help Centre
- Help and get this
http://www.bricklink.com/helpDesk.asp

Maybe the menu links need sorting out and that maybe part of the problem - some
messages ae being tracked by help desk and some not??

Robert

thanks for your search for the link.

As you stated the links from the BL screen should link to the right place.
What are they thinking about service?? Making a new ticket system and not
letting the users know about it. Strange!!!!

It has been posted on the forum (and probably by users, not admins), but I do
not think that counts.

When I receive a reply on one of my bug reports, that e-mail has a link "View
this Ticket online" that links to this page.

thanks for your search for this link within BL.

Sadly the conclusion must be: There is not such a link!!!!

Coupon still open!!! Who find the link??

  You would be surprised how many people don't know how to write their own
address correct.
BL can't know, and show, the correct format for each country.

There are ways to have the address checked against postal databases for validity.
Various websites use them.

If BL where to verify only the USA, EU, Germany, France and the Netherlands (the
5 regions with most members), 92% of the addresses would be verified. While
I agree that BL cannot check every country, verifying 92% of addresses is much
better than 0%.

Buyers are responsible for the correctness of their own address.
If BL would use their database to check addresses there might be privacy laws
involved.

This is exactly the problem: Buyers are responsible for the correctness of
their own address.

But BL can and must give the tools to fill it in correctly. (BL cannot check
it)

Do you see the comma between dutch post(zip)code and city??? (also in other
country's like Belgium there is a comma) such commas can cause problems
while the post company's are reading your shipping's with character
recognition.

A Dutch address doesn't contain a comma between the zipcode and city:
https://www.postnl.nl/versturen/brief-of-kaart-versturen/hoe-verstuur-ik-een-brief-of-kaart/brief-adresseren/

So why is BL placing that comma in your address: (see:https://www.bricklink.com/pref_general.asp?rD=Y)

It doesn't. Perhaps you've entered the comma yourself.

you are Lucky
When you change your address the comma will be placed automaticaly


Didnt you not noticed the comma between the zipcode and the city in some of
your buyers addresses??

BL can't know, and show, the correct format for each country.

There are ways to have the address checked against postal databases for validity.
Various websites use them.

If BL where to verify only the USA, EU, Germany, France and the Netherlands (the
5 regions with most members), 92% of the addresses would be verified. While
I agree that BL cannot check every country, verifying 92% of addresses is much
better than 0%.

Buyers are responsible for the correctness of their own address.
If BL would use their database to check addresses there might be privacy laws
involved.

This is exactly the problem: Buyers are responsible for the correctness of
their own address.

But BL can and must give the tools to fill it in correctly. (BL cannot check
it)

Do you see the comma between dutch post(zip)code and city??? (also in other
country's like Belgium there is a comma) such commas can cause problems
while the post company's are reading your shipping's with character
recognition.

A Dutch address doesn't contain a comma between the zipcode and city:
https://www.postnl.nl/versturen/brief-of-kaart-versturen/hoe-verstuur-ik-een-brief-of-kaart/brief-adresseren/

So why is BL placing that comma in your address: (see:https://www.bricklink.com/pref_general.asp?rD=Y)

as a seller i have too make too much changes in buyers addresses
(a waste of time)
if an address is wrong/not in the right format there are more chances for delivery
mistakes

a new just arriving example:

John Doe
PO Box 999
Leichhardt
New South Wales 2040
Australia

I have to change it to:

John Doe
PO Box 999
Leichhardt NSW 2040
Australia

See: http://www.bitboost.com/ref/international-address-formats/australia/

@BL Please update the possibility's !!!!!

That's exactly what I mean.

if the buyer does not know and Bricklink does nothing to show the right address
How the seller should know????

The seller wants to avoid problems. If Bricklink there now helps with the correct
information it should go better.

BTW Not every order comes with paypal payment and logging into paypal to find
the correct address is unnecessary when the address is good in Bricklink

  Hi

I read that:

[REMINDER] The site will be down during the monthly maintenance scheduled at
06/22 from 01:00 AM to 02:00 EDT.



EDT?!?!?!?!??!

What is that????????

The international time definition is GMT - so this EDT does not tell me anything.

Please use an international timestamp, so people know when the site is down

The EDT time is at the bottom

  I see on this page:

http://alpha.bricklink.com/pages/clone/catalogitem.page?P=3001&idColor=7#T=S&C=7&O={"color":7,"cond":"N","ii":1}

that buyers can exclude from searches any and all stores that have any Minimum
Purchase amount.

I would like to suggest that this be tweaked so that buyers can input a dollar
value to exclude only stores that have a Minimum Purchase requirement greater
than the amount they input. As it stands now, ALL stores with ANY Minimum Purchase
amount (even if only $1) are excluded if the box is checked on this page.

Next, I would like to ask how many buyers actually check this box to exclude
any and all Minimum Purchase stores from their searches.

If many buyers exclude stores with any minimum purchase amount, sellers should
know this so they can possibly change. But I also think buyers should know that
if this is what they want, sellers are just going to require other things to
make orders worthwhile for them. These other things could be increased fees or
higher minimum shipping amounts. If sellers cannot price these costs into a minimum
amount of goods, they will charge them elsewhere.

Thor

I use this a lot and imo it is a very good tool when i only use a few items.

  I think a very useful new feature would be an inventory movement report, where
stores and possibly even buyers could look at inventory movements would be much
appreciated. This could help solve inventory problems, ensuring greater accuracy.

I would like the file to be downloadable to Excel or something similar. It should
contain the date and time of the entry, as well as the part number, quantity,
colour, remarks and any pricing information. It could also allow options to choose
any of the other elements used in setting up new items.

Anybody else agree?


go to My Bricklink Download (to TXT OR to CSV ) ????

Very well thinking:
Because you have to follow the law in any circumstances, i think it is enough
to follow suggestion #4 the "POPUP"

  It may just be me, but I find it very difficult to view the messages in the Message
view, particularly if there have been many responses. It is just too difficult
to find any message, one must sort through hundreds of messages.

Having the Topic view is helpful, but once you click on the particular topic,
it is just downhill from there as far as looking through messages.

I have seen many Forum websites with a more user friendly design. They start
out with a General topic and then are broken down into subtopics. Once in the
subtopic, each thread would be listed - and the messages relating to that thread
could be found by clicking on the thread topic, which is the subject of the first
person to post the message. Replies to that message would then be found under
the first message in a logical to read order.

An example of this more user friendly layout can be found at big-boards.com or
many other websites.

Don't change anything !!! This Forum is just good the way it is. It is much better
then all the "normal" forums.
Here you can decide exactly the way you want to see it. Just do your best and
see first how this forum works.
