| - Why can I enter only the design ID and not the element ID from the "add item"
screen? They are in the database, so Bricklink might as well use them, right?
- I can't enter a negative sale in the "add item" screen. It just doesn't
accept a "-" character in that screen. Has been reported 5 weeks ago and devs
were going to have a look at it, still not fixed. (=The usual pattern whenever
I report anything, so I'm not surprised, but still - come on guys!)

I take it you mean adding items to your inventory? and not the catalog?
https://www.bricklink.com/inventory_add.asp?act=a&a=P
If so, it would be a bit difficult to use our PCC's on that page as
there needs to be some kind of interface to allow you to choose between items
that have the same number. When working on inventories, a drop-down menu pops
up when you type in one of those codes on the Add Inventory screen. So, perhaps
the programmers could reuse that bit of code?
It's a good idea!

Ah, yep, I meant to your inventory. There could be either a separate box for
entering the element ID, or, even better I guess, just one box where you can
enter either the design ID or element ID, and in case of the latter it would
fill out the color selection too.
Takes more than 30 minutes to code that so probably not realistic on Bricklink..
but anyway it's a suggestion.
(Right now you can add things quite easily with the element ID just by looking
up the part, but well, since the "add item" screen exists, it might as well be
fully functional otherwise there's no point in using that route  )

We've got this functionality on the Catalog side of the site on the Add Inventory
and Edit Inventory screens...
Here's what it looks like:
