Hi,

I would like my orders to be imported into my collection-parts.
I couldn't find an obvious way to achieve that.
Is it possible, if so then how?

Thanks a lot,
Chris

It doesn’t work that way. BrickLink’s “my collection” feature is useless. Use
rebrickable.

I don't have a lot of experience in this, but your comment got me curious.

I thought maybe this would work...
You can upload an XML file to your collection.
You can download a wanted list to an XML file.

So, once you buy items on a wanted list, and you receive them, you could download
the wanted list, then upload the xml file to your collection.

I just tried it, and it says the XML file is not properly formatted.
Huh. Bricklink just made it, but bricklink doesn't like it.

Maybe that first comment is correct?
Someone with more experience with XML than me, might be able to help?
