This should resolve the issue of scammers joining BrickLink merely to post spam

  I've posted this before and was told Bricklink doesn't prioritise mobile
devices, but anyway, I would really really like to be able to use Bricklink properly
on my tablets. They are just much more comfortable to walk around with when sorting
orders than laptops.. but I can't, since I cannot use the menus. When I click
on the icons in the top bar, the dropdown menu appears properly, but whenever
I click on an item the menu disappears and nothing happens.

You can partly work around it by sending the links from a desktop computer and
then bookmarking them on the tablet, but it's still not comfortable.

Can this please be solved? I have this issue on a Lenovo as well as a Windows
Surface, in all browsers, so I'm sure I'm not the only one.

Hi there,

As mentioned in the past, we have been working on implementing a mobile-friendly
website, but it takes a lot of detailed planning and effort on our part. It is
definitely not a short-term project. We are currently working on the implementation
of this, but you can follow the progress here on our Road Map page: https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=2453

Thank you for your patience as we work to make our website mobile-friendly!

  In this window (Buy Wanted List), the left-hand pane has a few annoying features:

1) The window is very small and cannot be resized. as shown, with the "Wanted
Items" tab selected, there is only room for 9 "tiles", making me scroll continuously
to see what is selected. On a large wanted list. this is very annoying. Of note,
the adjacent window with the list of stores is much larger and fills to the
bottom of the page.

2) The "tiles" showing each item on a wanted list are populated with the item's
small image. The only way to see the text description is to hover over the "tile".
Is there a way the text can be added to each tile (underneath?)? if the pane
is increased in size, I do not see that this would be a problem.

3) Lastly, I'll add my voice to the clamour - bring back the updated info
on each item when a store name is clicked on in the adjacent pane. Please do
not make me make a cart in a store to see what they have on my wanted list.

Thanks

Miffy.

Hi Miffy,

#1 is a bug that we are fixing
#3 is being added back

#2 is a bit of a design issue, but I will bring it up with our team and see if
it possible to implement

Thanks for voicing your concerns and we hope you are pleased with the changes.
Please feel free to contact the help desk with any other questions or concerns
you may have.

Thanks,
Sheryl

I do not see any user advantages to new layout.

Hi there,

We would love to hear some constructive feedback about what you do not like about
the new My BL page. Without specific complaints we aren't able to make the
new page advantageous to users that don't currently like it. Please feel
free to contact the help desk with any suggestions for improvements.

Thanks!

  If we are not electing to use the "new My BL" can we have a way to remove the
dialog box at the top of the My BL page?

We want to allow users the option to switch back and forth as the classic My
BL page will eventually be removed. We will remove the dialog box at the top
when the classic page is no longer an option.

  Hi all.
Today I got panicked, because I didn't find my super lots on searcher, but
I have them for sell.

On forum I got an answer that I must check the field before "Include Super Lots"
and than I can see them.

For me, as a seller this is not logical.
How will buyers know If there is a possibility to buy for example a minifigure
together with weapon If they don't know that this option exsist?
Or that they can buy left and right doors in one package?

For now I have app 1620 lots for sell and app 320 of them are super lots, which
is 20% of my store items and they are not visible to the buyers.

Please put a fix check infornt "Include Super Lots" that all the items are visible
to buyers. If buyers don't want to see super lots, than they can uncheck
the option.

I think this solution will be good for all the sellers.
Thank you for the answer.
Reghards.
Gregor

Hi there,

This was changed several months ago due to users abusing Super Lots to have their
listings appear at the top of the search results. We have plans to change how
super lots function in the future, but for the time being we will have to leave
this setting as it is to avoid having sellers abuse the system.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Thanks,
Sheryl

  Dear BrickLink admins and members,

We see it every day. BrickLink is losing business because it's still not
possible to pay immediately after checkout. We have to cancel our orders because
new members can't find shipping fees. They expect that the shipping fee will
be automically displayed when they put items in their shopping cart. The also
expect that they can pay immediately for their orders. The way it is going now
is way too complicated for new members.

Why is it so hard to create software to let members pay immediately and tell
them the shipping fee. BrickOwl and BrickScout are doing it. They are taking
BrickLink's business over.

What I hear from other sellers is that it's impossible to create it because
not al items have their weight in the BrickLink catalog. Why not solve this with
a standard weight for items that don't have their weight in the BrickLink
catalog? (0.5KG for a set, 0.2KG for a part etc.)

Please, BrickLink do something at this.

Thank you.

Best regards,
Niels Roest
Owner of BricksDirect

Hi Niels,

As has been stated in numerous other forum posts, we are in the process of creating
Instant Checkout. Since BrickLink has been around much longer than the other
sites you mentioned, our sellers have numerous configurations and setting up
the process is much more complex. We do not want to take away anything from how
our sellers are currently using the checkout process. With this in mind, we have
made great progress in instant checkout so far and will continue to do so without
sacrificing quality. We want to make sure this feature is accurate as well as
efficient.

We appreciate your patience and understanding, but want to let you know that
we have definitely heard the cry from our users for this feature and are working
hard to get it done as soon as possible!

Thanks!

  When is HTTPS going to be implemented on Bricklink? At this point of the internet,
any website that requires a password should be accessed entirely with HTTPS rather
than HTTP. When is that going to be implemented?

Thanks!

It already exists, type https into your browser when navigating to BrickLink.

Thanks!

  SUGGESTION:

In the "old" BL interface it was possible to print out the wanted lists.
This functionality hasn't been released in the "new" BL interface.

I would highly recommend that this could be implemented.

In a plain, simple, printer- friendly layout please...

This issue has been added to the road map. For further tracking and status information

  Please exclude all superlot entries from the Price Guide. There are too many
people who do superlots with one item for some insane price, then list all other
entries for a penny or something. That ends up screwing up the averages for everything
in the superlot. If superlot items were just excluded from the Pricing Guide,
then it won't prevent anyone from doing their preferred pricing, while not
harming the pricing averages.

Note that this even helps with other pricing strategies, as the general use is
to price the individual items lower than they otherwise would be, which still
screws up the averages.

  I wondered why a buyer of mine had trouble using a coupon, so I checked on the
selection process using one of the coupons offered to me.

Seriously, nothing needs to be said beyond it was terribly incorporated into
the checkout process. Please fix this.

P.S. I was under the impression that the upgrade would move BL steps forward.
It seems for every step forward another 2 were made backward. We lost in-store
settings that were in place for, as long as, I can recall and that's just
one of many missteps. Why?

Please use the suggestion for this that was already created:

  When checking out please make the select store coupon option more obvious.

Doesn't really prompt you to use it hidden down the bottom (especially with
the new flow of the checkout where payment method and currency are already checked
for you) so you can easily miss it.

Maybe on the right somewhere near where you are clicking to continue/confirm?

Thanks
