Buying Privileges - OK
Currently, when I move on to 'buy' the parts/ mini figures on my wanted
list, there are a few sort options - one of which allows the shops that provide
most of the items on my list to appear first - this is a great improvement from
a few years back! Is this concept in the process of being further developed to
include more search options and if not, could the brick link team consider this?:

Is it possible to apply a similar sort option to other variables such as price
(lowest price first) and also postage (lowest cost of postage first)?

This is kind of covered for price when I check individual items, but it
is not currently possible (as far as I'm aware) to locate the best store
for me which includes both the lowest priced parts AND highest quantity of wanted
items.

To take this one revolutionary step further, it would be great if sellers had
to state their shipping policy in a set format. For example, each store would
have to fill out a table containing price per weight and different regions of
the world.

Many stores already do this, but if it were a compulsory action, this could lead
on to the cost of postage being included in the combined search I have already
suggested.

Therefore, when searching for the best store to buy from, brick link will automatically
sort the stores by the store with the most items on my wanted list first, the
store with the lowest priced parts first, AND the store with the lowest p&p first.

If it would be impractical to contain all these sort options at once, perhaps
they could at the very least be done individually?

Thanks for your time
