Clearly I was mistaken in my assumption. Looks like some things move faster
than others. My apologies to Sheryl and congratulations to Miffy. on getting
a suggestion implemented.

I'm quite confident there were, but I can't think of any off the top
of my head. I didn't mean to denigrate your suggestion - it is a good one.
Just don't hold your breath waiting for it to be implemented.

Thanks for the laugh. Seriously, though, it is a good suggestion.

I expect to see the suggestion implemented around August of 2021. Am I being
too negative?

Well considering the initial announcement was made on Dec 20th (and not everyone
received the email, and it was not broadcast through the BL messaging system)
and considering I commented on this on January 8th, we could well be in for a
wait.

Were there any other TOS changes between 2013 and now?

A separate helpdesk, separate MOC shop forum, separate Stud.io forum... I wish

Very interesting, never heard about this. (searched for a link but where????)
Is there a link from within Bricklink to this???

The first who can show me this link inside Bricklink (not from within MOC-shop

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!!!!

They have been using it at least since July 2014...

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??

I usually use "Report a bug" or "Technical Issue" (what is the difference?).
Those are tracked in this system. I do not know about the others.

I've used those too (user defines the difference?) but it goes back to the
OP's point - it's just an email and I get no copy or confirmation. If
they are tracked, great but I don't know that and have no reference to quote
for follow up, how do you get the ticket number?

Robert

There is no information until 1) you receive an e-mail with the ticket number,
or 2) you know about the system and sign in to view your tickets.

I think there was an automatic confirmation e-mail, but it looks like those are
not used any longer. If that is true, they must have stopped using that part
of the system somewhere in the past 3 months because I received one in October.
I did not receive a confirmation e-mail with ticket number on my issue/bug report
that I sent yesterday.

There is much room for improvement on how this system is used.

Many thanks, now I'm getting it! Solution looks to me like: Maybe replace
the old links in the MY BL screen with direct access to the tracked system so
you have to login to raise an issue and in so doing you'll get a ticket number
issued by the system. I think this might save the helpdesk a lot of time/emails
from users who currently just don't know how it works and are getting frustrated
with it. If everything is not going through the "new" system properly it won't
be giving BL a true picture of call volume hence not helping them resource plan
either.

Robert

I have tried discussing how tickets are tracked without success.
Maybe someone should -at least- send a bug report about not receiving the confirmation
a-mail any longer. As a result of the last discussion I do not feel like opening
up that can of worms again.

Understood, I've no energy for going beyond making suggestions either, that
gets into arguing with those whose ultimate decision it is and it is their business
not mine, just trying to help/provide my thoughts.

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

I usually use "Report a bug" or "Technical Issue" (what is the difference?).
Those are tracked in this system. I do not know about the others.

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.

along with a 24/7 (or as close as possible to that) help desk with defined service

volume warrants this now and it would also help fix a lot of issues (such as
problem new stores, bugs like mentioned by Dirk) that get reported here before
they develop into bigger issues/problems.

Has been suggested before but I think worth a bump.

When in advanced search, I may want to buy the cheapest head, no matter the pattern
on it, for making a cheap range of minifigures. (or I may want to buy the cheapest
range of 2x2 tiles no matter the pattern on it)

EG. I have 200 minifigures, all lacking the head. I don't care about which
head to put them on, just want a random head. Now I can search in the upper panel
for 3626* for all minifigures heads. This isn't available in the "advanced
search" option when looking for parts.

A few times I have had to fill the minimum order with small cheap items like
technic pins and then tell the seller that I just don't need them and I'm
happy just with the other parts.

For me this mostly happens when I need a few rarer parts for a model and I have
to buy used. I don't sell used and I try not to build with used if possible
so no parts is better than padded parts in those situations.

There definitely does need to be a better solution to the bypass password though.
Before I set my minimum order to £6 and removed all fees I was happy to take
single part orders as the buyer was covering the packaging and PP fees so I wasn't
making a loss.

I have the bypass password on my splash page but no-one has used it in the month
it's been there. Maybe the wanted list auto fill could say -BYPASS AVAILABLE-
or something on stores where the minimum order isn't met but there is a bypass
password.

  If there is a Minimal buy ammount in a shop, I suggest a new button:

"I'm ready to pay the minimum buy ammount of the shop, even if my order doesn't

Keep it simple, no special buttons. Some bulk stores has so high minimum order,
that bypassing that too easily leads for trouble.

If we exclude the free shipping from your terms, then I would have no idea how
much shipping would have been for said order or any order over 13oz.

It's not about being fair or not, but about estimating the cost before the
order is placed.

  Yes, but don't most sellers have a chart and terms that reflects what the
price will be? For mine it doesn't matter if you live in the same town,
I charge the same thing as I would charge any Domestic Customer,etc. Based on
my experience buying on BL, my rates are very fair.

The difference was only about $1.50, but that amount could add up fast when you've

It would be a lot more on a 50-60 pound order too

  Instead of more sarcastic remarks towards those of us trying to make the site
better, I hope you can understand why things are where they are at *now* and
where they are heading from here on out.

I hope this is not taken as a sarcastic remark, but IMO the new images that are
being uploaded are worse than the old "low res" images. You print them out in
an inventory or in an order, and there is this blob of color on the page. You
have to look very closely to see the studs and other features.

As far as the large images go, these should be photographs of actual parts, not
renders. Renders at large sizes make the site look sterile, and are pretty useless
at determining things like variants or color authenticity.

But the big issue I have is with large images being reduced and used as small
images. The original "low res" images that Troy submitted had EDGE LINES so they
looked like parts in Lego instructions, and they were easily identifiable at
a small size. If the edge lines have an appropriate thickness when the image
is large, they will be too thin when the image is made smaller. That's why
rendering programs have a way of adjusting the line thickness, so that instructions
can be drawn to different scales.

It is heartbreaking to see what this development team is doing to BrickLink.
Almost every move they make ends up cheapening the experience. Whether it's
the bland images, the pencil-thin fonts, or the twisted non-intuitive UI -
it's like a really bad bathroom/kitchen remodel, where the house is actually
worth less after the work is finished.

How about a way to PRINT a wanted list? That would be useful as well.

Yes, I know that is a feature to come, but that is not necessarily the same as

I don't know if this is the correct place to write this but Stud.io doesn't
have the piece 73092 but it does have the two bases for it. It should be implemented.

Hello,

It would be easier if you could filter on more than 1 country at the same time.
ex. Europe and then France and Germany together.

For people who have little orders, it would be great if they could filter (up/down)
for the sellers who have a minimum quota.

regards,

Rosine

It is difficult to locate items which truly need additional information when
the lists include items marked for deletion.

Thank you for considering this improvement to the website.

I voted yes one time, but I would vote yes 50 times.

Reference thread: http://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=995948


SUGGESTION: Display items in stores in the exact order they were added, per
Lot ID Number when viewing by DATE ADDED.


Items listed for sale in shops are now appearing in mixed up random order when
viewed by NEWEST ITEMS.

I dislike this. When I list items, often I list them in a specific order on
purpose. And I wish for them to remain in that order. For example, if I list
all 2 x 4 bricks together, I want them to show up in that order.

The biggest reason why listed items should stay in order is to check for errors.
If a seller uploads a bunch of stuff but they appear in their shop all mixed
up, it makes it difficult to compare (to the original listing file) and trace
possible errors.

Until the site update, listed items always appeared in the order in which they
were listed, as the lot ID numbers were kept in order. I see no reason for the
now random ordering. Please correct this.


Also, I really miss the _horizontal divider line_ between each day's batch
of items. We always had that before and I see no reason to have removed that.
Please put back the horizontal divider line when viewing by NEWEST ITEMS.

Thanks.

  Hi,

2 Requests..

1. I would like to see if I have a part in inventory when I look at a set and
it's parts. This connects to the 2nd request bellow.

2. It would also be useful to see if I have a part in inventory without having
to search my inventory for it.

I am constantly adding parts to my inventory. I first have to locate the part
by searching by type, color, etc. once I find it I then have to do a 2nd search
of the part number an cut/paste in search and change the dropdown to [my inventory].
Would be nice to have a GREEN Heart indicating that you have it in inventory
and links to that part in you inventory. This could go next to the RED heart
for wanted list.

As others have indicated, the features you are suggesting already exist.

For me, I would be happy as a clam if, when using the top search box, if it would
STAY on MY INVENTORY instead of constantly reverting to the stoopid annoying
ALL ITEMS search. I wish like hell I could turn OFF the ALL ITEMS search PERMANENTLY.

Another way is to go to My Store, choose My Inventory, On the right side of
the page are all sorts of options to see what you have in your inventory. Click
on "More Options" and about half way down the page is a box that says Parts from
Set # , Key in the set # you are interested in and hit GO and it will show you
all the parts you have for that set in your inventory.

  Just an option in the cart to (save for later) individual pieces. I would check
out but leave remaining items im not ready to buy yet in the cart. Without having
to delete them, find them again in the shop, and then add to cart again.


OK, that ought to be simple, store would not even know. Only problem then is
that the parts would likely just sell to another buyer before you returned to
store.

Robert

That is no different to putting them in a cart and leaving them, which you can
do right now.


Not exactly. If you have items from a store in your cart all are taken to checkout,
there is no choice to "leave some in cart". OK so you can wait until your order
is marked "paid" then start a new cart but that does not quite do what the OP
wanted.

That isn't what I meant. Any prospective buyer can put items in their cart
and not checkout, and they might be sold in the meantime. So if you could "save
for later" on some items, it would be the same situation - items left in a cart
that might be bought by someone else.


  
  Quite a few online stores have "save for later", including amazon. This is essentially
the same thing.

Do they reserve the item or not? On the whole I suspect they don't so
It's just like leaving items in a cart here except the cart perhaps stays
there for some time after you logged out.

No, as they are not purchased. I find my carts here are now quite persistent
too. I've had a couple open for at least two weeks now.

  Similar to the way amazon checkout works, it would be helpful in situations where
I have to meet a sellers shipping weight/price bands..

For Example.

If I find parts or sets in a shop I want but I know the postage for upto 1000g
is $20, but upto 1500g is $35

my cart is 1.050g, I would now be able to select 50g of items to (save for later)
and when I next shop with the seller, if still available the parts would be ready
for me to (add to cart) again thus saving postage.


At the present time if my cart is too much I have to remove Items I actually
want, complete checkout and then find the parts again later. Finding and adding
parts can be time consuming.

Items in carts aren't reserved until the actual checkout is done.
You could just checkout with a message you would like to add to your order.


Yes, same problem with quotes; one part sells and the whole quote gets wiped.
I think the solution Paul is looking for it to be able to "split" an order so
the 1st 1kg order can be checked, out, paid for and shipped leaving the remaining
parts in a new order that can be added to later.

As a buyer I can see the benefit of that and as a seller I can also see that
it would encourage customer loyalty so no bad thing. I would, as a seller, like
to be able to approve (or not) use of such a feature on an individual order or
buyer basis however as well as turn it off if I was planning to go on holiday
and close the store for example.

Alternatively, yes just ask the seller if the whole order can be left open works
as long as you don't need some of the parts more quickly. Again, I would
like the option to set order open duration by order or customer or again limit
it if I was planning to close.

  Similar to the way amazon checkout works, it would be helpful in situations where
I have to meet a sellers shipping weight/price bands..

For Example.

If I find parts or sets in a shop I want but I know the postage for upto 1000g
is $20, but upto 1500g is $35

my cart is 1.050g, I would now be able to select 50g of items to (save for later)
and when I next shop with the seller, if still available the parts would be ready
for me to (add to cart) again thus saving postage.


At the present time if my cart is too much I have to remove Items I actually
want, complete checkout and then find the parts again later. Finding and adding
parts can be time consuming.

Items in carts aren't reserved until the actual checkout is done.
You could just checkout with a message you would like to add to your order.


Yes, same problem with quotes; one part sells and the whole quote gets wiped.
I think the solution Paul is looking for it to be able to "split" an order so
the 1st 1kg order can be checked, out, paid for and shipped leaving the remaining
parts in a new order that can be added to later.

As a buyer I can see the benefit of that and as a seller I can also see that
it would encourage customer loyalty so no bad thing. I would, as a seller, like
to be able to approve (or not) use of such a feature on an individual order or
buyer basis however as well as turn it off if I was planning to go on holiday
and close the store for example.

Alternatively, yes just ask the seller if the whole order can be left open works
as long as you don't need some of the parts more quickly. Again, I would
like the option to set order open duration by order or customer or again limit
it if I was planning to close.

Just an option in the cart to (save for later) individual pieces. I would check
out but leave remaining items im not ready to buy yet in the cart. Without having
to delete them, find them again in the shop, and then add to cart again.


OK, that ought to be simple, store would not even know. Only problem then is
that the parts would likely just sell to another buyer before you returned to
store.

I can see that might be useful in some cases, so long as sellers say what the
cart can weigh (as opposed to what a package can weigh).

  Why couldn't Brick Link let negative/Complaint or neutral feed back start

feed back especially from new buyers.

NO...
Old feedbacks, including negatives and neutrals, can give you an idea on who
your dealing with and tell buyers whether there is 'pattern' when something
goes wrong.
If BL would purge those negatives and neutrals, then they would need to do that
for all sellers, do you really want that ? (showing 1 example in the screenshot
below, I could give a couple of dozens like that)?

You seem to be bothered by the few negatives you carry? Why? You've had near
4000 transactions, with 3 negatives, that's less then 1 per 1300 transactions,
neglectible
And I doubt buyers will hold it against you when they need to determine whether
or not they wanna buy from you...

This is a good point, and the negatives that these buyers leave will also say
worlds about them.

I just received my first negative after 13 years! For not falsifying customs
forms (of which the buyer did not request I do) and that the shipping was too
high (of which they knew about before paying) - ridiculous, but this also serves
as a warning to anyone looking at that buyers feedback that they've left
- that they have ridiculous expectations and maybe you don't want to work
with them.

It's good for both parties in that respect.

In regards to old feedback - agreed. If I see feedback from a year ago that is
negative but lots of positives, I don't worry about it. I hope that the feedback
was used as a corrective and now that problem won't exist at all - if it
ever did. Plus, we are all human, get sick, have issues that we can't control,
and most buyers understand that.

People who ask you to commit felony customs fraud should be banned and have their
ability to leave a negative for that order removed. It's been far too long
since this was first suggested for nothing to be done about it.

Yes, I agree.

I wrote to this customer, asking them to reconsider considering this was their
2nd order and they had no issues with it. They responded saying my postage was
ridiculous (of which they could have asked to cancel the order if they had a
problem with it - they did not have to PAY IT), and then said, "My feedback is
staying thank you and you probably break the law on a daily basis."

BlockityBlockBlock by me for that one.

Hi,

I saw this popup only once!

Do you have cookies or Java Script disabled?

No - IE 11 latest version. Once logged in you do not see it again (while you
remain logged in but as soon as you log out and back in again it comes up)

When I log out and in again it doesn't pop up!
I am using Firefox 50.1.0

Voted yes.

Seeing this particular pop-up once was irritating enough; seeing it 5 or 6 times
a day is a real PITA.

your dealing with and tell buyers whether there is 'pattern' when something
goes wrong.
If BL would purge those negatives and neutrals, then they would need to do that
for all sellers, do you really want that ? (showing 1 example in the screenshot
below, I could give a couple of dozens like that)?

You seem to be bothered by the few negatives you carry? Why? You've had near
4000 transactions, with 3 negatives, that's less then 1 per 1300 transactions,
neglectible
And I doubt buyers will hold it against you when they need to determine whether
or not they wanna buy from you...

Why couldn't Brick Link let negative/Complaint or neutral feed back start
to drop off after so many years and or each year. Everyone knows we get unfounded
feed back especially from knew buyers.

Restrict sale messages to only in the Sale section of the Forum not the main
feed.

New sale feature on main page creating an enormous amount of messages that mean
nothing to most people browsing forum.

Some of the list items also have a ranking amongst themselves. For example the
missing item might be structural - can't build set without it - or minor
like an accessory.

Current approach:
Use text in remarks and wanted list name to assist with priority

Ideal:
A simple low/med/high or 1 (high) to 5 (low) priority rank flag on the wanted
list and wanted list items
Ability to set the default value
Ability to use this flag in any search that involves the wanted list - e.g. by
shop

Hello,

that would be cool, but i think it would be too complex to program and it might
confuse some users

kind regards

I have 800+ wanted lists (one for each incomplete set)
I want to search by shop for any wanted list that starts with "Bri" and only
has 1 part on the list.

Current:
I have to use the search function "Bri" and deselect all (some 300 lists)
I then scroll and click the checkbox for all that only have 1 part

Preferred:
Advanced search criteria for the search functionality when searching wanted lists
(could apply for instore wanted list searching too). These include;

Number of items on the list
That contain a remark with text = xx
Option to include AND or OR statements
That contain NEW and or USED parts flag

Yep. This is my biggest pet peeve about BrickLink right now, and nothing is done
to fix it after repeatedly being brought up. I browse things a certain way, and
I want my settings to remain that way throughout the entire site: in stores,
in wanted lists, etc. Why do I always have to click on the dropdown to sort by
Color, Name everywhere? It never sticks! So frustrating...(face palm)

Why is that important?
When you take a look at the price guide you often find new sets that are much
cheaper than others. But when you check the offer you see the "incomplete" mark
within the offer.
From my point of view "new set" means complete in box with instructions and ALL
parts, nothing else. For now, the price guide for "new sets" is useless because
I am able to sell a single 1x1 tile as a new set that is incomplete.
New sets with the flag "incomplete" should be listed under parts because that
is what they are - a collection of new parts from a set.
What do you think?

Sven

Lego sets can be incomplete ask Lego's own QA department. I have bought a
few sets from the store that has been missing parts. so if a seller knows something
is missing he should be able to sell them incomplete.

My example:
 
Set No: 8487  Name: Flo's V8 Café {Cafe}
* 
8487-1 (Inv) Flo's V8 Café {Cafe}
254 Parts, 6 Minifigures, 2011
Sets: Cars: Cars 2
In the Cars sets, there was not a sub-category for each of the vehicles/characters,
so in order to list them, I had to put each one as a New, Incomplete set, then
have a description as to which vehicle/character was included in sale.

Sven's suggestion seems extreme, but the concept is useful. The price guide
for both new and used sets is skewed when the minifigs and accessories or
a major component is removed from a set. I have often thought that a "partial
set" category for such items would be useful. It could list such things as just
the dragon or building from Lonely Mountain or the blue car in the potter set.
However, a few missing pieces or no box if clearly stated does not seem like
that big of a deal. The "sealed" notation rather clearly indicates when a set
is as put on the shelf. Quibbling over such things like extra pieces will just
complicate things -- especially for used sets.

A consideration in all of this is how much more space will be required to list
any new categories.

You should filter out the incomplete sets:

You contradict yourself to what you've stated above.
You do agree with the definitions of complete/incomplete.

  For now, the price guide for "new sets" is useless because
I am able to sell a single 1x1 tile as a new set that is incomplete.

No, you can't because it's a tile and the listing will be reported.
Stores who do that risk of getting terminated.

is what they are - a collection of new parts from a set.

I have just bought two copies of a set I wanted a minifig from. One is MISB,
the other has clearly had several years of being played with.

If I take out the figs I want and sell the sets, I would want to list one as
used incomplete (with a list of what is missing), and one as new, incomplete.

This would demonstrate to a buyer the correct condition of the parts they are
getting.

Hi,


I am using lots of wanted lists. Some contain sets, some contain parts, others
contain catalogs and gear.
Unfortunately, the sorting criteria for the contents of wanted lists are set
globally. So every time, I have to switch the sorting when switching between
my wanted lists.
Because imho, sets are best sorted by set numbers. While parts are best sorted
by color or description. Finally, it makes sense to sort catalogs by description
or by year.


Adding sorting criteria individually to each wanted list, would improve the handling
a lot.

Hi,

I don't know if this is a bug or not. But every time I open the "wanted
list" area, all my wanted lists are sorted in newest order. This is really annoying,
I'd like to set another sorting order by default. And that sorting order
(e.g. alphabetically) should be saved and remembered every time I enter my "wanted
lists" area.

kind regards, Christian

  I've been thinking, I really think Bricklink should come up with an app (for
android and apple, obviously).
Personally, I find it very difficult to use any website on a browser on my tablet,
and a smaller screened smartphone would be no better. As such, I rarely ever
use bricklink on my tablet, just because it is so difficult. I know there is
the "mobile site", but I'm figuring that's just the same desktop site,
enhanced for mobile devices (am I wrong? Please correct if I am). I Don't
find it's better at all. It still has the upper "tabs" (Shop, community,
my BL, etc, etc) which on desktop requires a hover to use, most of the time.
On my tablet, I'm constantly using the "normal" version and using "use desktop
version", which really isn't any different or any better.

Anyway, consider other major sites (facebook, ebay, amazon, amazon seller, paypal,
gmail, how many others am I not including?) that one can visit on a browser OR
an app. All those aren't just 5% different versions of the same desktop site,
they are designed ground up for tablets/phones. I think bricklink could do very
well to come up with one. I KNOW I'd use it all the time. Heck, I've
even be willing to pay the typical .99 for it.

Has there been talk of an app in the past that I've missed, or is my idea
totally, 100% new?

Bricklink webpage should support mobile phones, what I don't understand is
why they didn't make stud.io an app, so you could browse MOC instruction
in your mobile or tablet.

The focus should be first to get a properly working website running.

Personally, I find it very difficult to use any website on a browser on my tablet,
and a smaller screened smartphone would be no better. As such, I rarely ever
use bricklink on my tablet, just because it is so difficult. I know there is
the "mobile site", but I'm figuring that's just the same desktop site,
enhanced for mobile devices (am I wrong? Please correct if I am). I Don't
find it's better at all. It still has the upper "tabs" (Shop, community,
my BL, etc, etc) which on desktop requires a hover to use, most of the time.
On my tablet, I'm constantly using the "normal" version and using "use desktop
version", which really isn't any different or any better.

Anyway, consider other major sites (facebook, ebay, amazon, amazon seller, paypal,
gmail, how many others am I not including?) that one can visit on a browser OR
an app. All those aren't just 5% different versions of the same desktop site,
they are designed ground up for tablets/phones. I think bricklink could do very

  Hi.
Is possible to improve the DataBase to send a new notification message when the
parts move from Stockroom into Inventory?
For ex: I finished brick 2 x 2 yellow... but in few days I put it in again my
inventory, I would like to comunicate it to all the users that have the brick
in their wanted list.

Is It possible?
Thanks.
Gianni.

Notifications are send for available l new listed parts or when parts become
available when moved from Stockroom to store.
It doesn't notify when you list new items in a Stockroom.

Hi,

Over the years, I recall quite a few buyers for whom I had reserved lots asking
me how to see and order these lots.

When you go to a store, three tabs are displayed: "Shop", "Terms" and "Feedback".
Under the "Shop" tab are the following links/sub menus:

Featured All Items Newest Items Wanted List


I think it would be very helpful for a buyer if a new link/sub menu called "Reserved
Lots
' was added to the above. The link should perhaps only be visible
if there are reserved lots. It should also be possible for a buyer to add all
reserved lots in one click.

The documentation describes a link "Show All Items Reserved for Me" in the left
store menu. I don't recall ever seeing such a link, but I think a link right
next to "Wanted List' would be more visible and easier to explain to a user.
