| 1) If: "Sets" are a specific collection of parts.
2) And: Such collections of parts are still considered "sets" whether complete
or incomplete.
3) And: "Minifigures" are a specific collection of parts.
4) Then by logic: Such collections of parts are still considered "minifigures"
whether complete or incomplete.
Ergo, BrickLink is broken. One currently cannot list an incomplete minifigure.
They must instead be broken to their basic components and listed as single parts.....and
this makes no sense from both a logical standpoint or a buyer-friendly standpoint.
We NEED "incomplete/complete" definitions for minifigures (and for all inventoried
items for that matter) to keep this marketplace competitive. A $20 11-piece
minifigure missing an inconsequential part should be possible to list as "incomplete"
and defining the missing item. To have to break this nearly complete collection
composing the minifigure down to individual parts, pieces a seller likely does
not want to break apart given it is more desirable or worth more as a whole instead
of pieces, makes eBay a better marketplace for the item. eBay should NEVER be
a better option than BrickLink on the ability to list and sell LEGO. Something
is wrong with this site when this is the case.
PLEASE correct this and add the same complete/incomplete definitions for minifigures.
It certainly cannot hurt the marketplace and will actually improve it by helping
to eliminate the ever so common "missing ----" descriptions sellers often
currently use (though shouldn't) under the same catalog entry for the undefined
figure. Buyers shop specific figures, and as such should have the option to
buyer complete or incomplete as meets their needs.

| I was thinking that it would be an interesting feature if store owners were able
to see who has carts/how many carts people have in your store so that we might
be able to issue coupons or have sales to encourage people who have had an open
cart for a long time. Another idea is people get email notifications (if they
want to enable them) for stores they have carts in whenever the price drops.

|
| I noticed the highest prices of items sold (or of items that are on sale), have
an out of proportion influence on the average prices.
Example: when 9 people sell (or have sold) an item at €0.10 but 1 person has
sold that item for €10.00, the average price would be €1.09
You may say this example is not realistic, but it's not that unrealistic
either. Check out item 6558. The avg used price of last 6 month sales is €0.023,
while the majority of the sales are for less as €0.02
If you look more closesly, you see a few sales at a high price, but not a lot.
(Note: someone even sold a few of these for €1.00 !)
It's my suggestion to change the calculation of avg price to use the 90-percentile
method. So only the 90 percent (lowest prices) are taken into account. That way,
the top 10-percent highest prices are not taken into account when calculating
the avg price.
To avoid weird behaviours, the rule could be in place only when there are 10
items sold/for sale.
Example would become an avg price of €0.10
Another somewhat more complex method would be the use the median. Not the mathematic
average, but the middle price: 50% of the sellers have a lower price, 50% of
the sellers have a higher price.
What do you guys think?

| I just had an enquiry from somebody in Cyprus asking me why I would not ship
to him, though Cyprus is in the EU and I apply shipping rates for ALL EU countries.
Why was Cyprus not included in my list ? Cyprus it seems is included in the Middle
East region for Bricklink and hence I did not include Cyprus. This needs to be
corrected immediately.
As for the case of the rest of the island, I cannot comment wheter the UN allows
or not to ship LEGO.
Am I correct to put that forward ?

| I can understand the need to have a bypass password for some orders BUT I can
see it only being useful if the store(s) in question are using instant checkout.
Why not turn off the need for a bypass password for any stores that are not using
instant checkout since they are going to need to manually send an invoice/calculate
shipping anyways. It would help reduce the restriction errors buy quite a bit
and help sellers by not making them wonder why their sales have dropped off suddenly.

|
| I am proud of the invoice template that I developed. It doesn't get used
that much since instant checkout started. I sometimes get a "Wait for Invoice"
order and use it. But more often it is used to auto-send an invoice to someone
who clicked instant checkout and then didn't complete their payment. I guess?
These people are getting an immediate invoice that says I have packed their
order and everything is good to go, which is still what I would like to tell
the people who wait for an invoice. But I would rather have a totally different
invoice for the auto-generated ones.

lost in the mail, neutral feedback received, then received a few days later.
I was able to respond to the feedback but it didn't occur to me in time
to ask to have the feedback removed. Now that I've tried to make the request
the system won't let me because the order was supposedly purged but yet the
feedback is still there. Do negative or neutral feedback ever expire? Is there
any way for me to request removal of this feedback seeing as how the system apparently
can't access the order?

|
| To admin,
Regarding parts and colour entry.
It would be good if there were an entry to say whether the colour is matt or
shiny. I have to replace a part on Harry Potter Knight's bus. The original
was shiny black but the part I received as a replacement was matt.
On this particularly set it is rather noticeable so rather than have to email
each seller to ask if they have a shiny black part it would be good if it were
stated. Not sure if Lego make the distinction but it makes a difference to the
look of the set when its a visible part.

|
| Not enough space on the subject line! When adding a part to the catalog, we
have to scroll through every catagory in the catalog. I mostly add minifig pieces,
halfway down the list. And it is especially frustrating when the item number
I choose is already pending in the catalog and I have to scroll through it all
again. All of these categories have a number and I have considered just changing
my routine to adding the number on the pending items screen. I just haven't
done that because it feels improper to submit it without the category and I might
forget. If it were an option, that is the option I would use.

|
| Subject pretty much says it. When buying parts, as you were adding them to your
cart from a store, there was a little thing that would tell you if their price
was above or below market average, and by how much of a percent. I just went
to buy some parts, and noticed that is now gone. It would be great if that was
brought back. It is much easier than trying to go piece by piece and check multiple
stores before buying one, especially when buying lots of parts.

| Hello,
i have a idea where people create a list and it will itself search for lowest
price and show which shops have these parts and calculate the amount of parts
you will need to buy for different shops. It might be 1 shop or 2,3, it will
show as many shops as needed to get all parts you need.
Here a example...

|
| I've had too many "100% complete" purchases that weren't. From talking
to sellers it seems they just say something is complete but most aren't actually
checking. I feel this is a disservice to buyers.
Perhaps a field that says "I have checked the set against the BL piece list and
it actually is 100% complete" or something like that. They will still lie,
but maybe it will curtail things a bit.
And on the buyers end, rather than just a positive/neutral/negative, there should
be more. Like a "was it actually 100% complete?" Then if you see that only
75% of the time a seller is actually selling complete sets you can steer clear.

| There's something about the "Required" feature on wanted lists that doesn't

change orders,
report problem order
inventory

I don't see any purpose to changing this to a streamlined version.
The graphics are big, but how big do they need to be to see orders pending, orders
awaiting payment orders awaiting shipment? It is a lot of wasted space.
I would like to be able to x out certain displays, ie the feedback.
I don't understand the purpose of the change? is it to enable mobile? because
a phone app seems vital.
Aside from that, if working from my PC, I like the current set up and don't
see why change to the new would be mandatory.
There seems little point to telling people to complain to help desk or make constructive
criticism there as it fails to get a feeling from community.
Note also, I am making PRAISE: the current myBL page works.

|
| 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.

|
| Hello! I am currently placing an order with one of the coolest store owners I've
come across, and he let me pay layaway for about 2 weeks when it hit me:
Why isn't there a layaway option? Obviously, this can benefit the seller,
and the lower-income buyers together, but before I continue, Let me explain
the concept of layaway:
Layaway is an option where you pay weekly, biweekly or monthly a set amount (agreed
on by both parties: buyer and seller) until the item is paid off.
For the seller, this means once the price is agreed on/the first payment is made,
they have to put the item aside (regardless on other buyers' offers after
an agreement is made between the first two parties)
For the buyer: This means the once the price is agreed on, you stick to the price
and stay faithful to the deal 'till the end. This also means communicating
with the seller for anything that should be noted such as change of payment account,
or change of address, etc. Missing your payment by one day could void the whole
transaction leaving the buyer at the mercy of the seller.
Both parties should remain as transparent as possible for the smoothest possible
transaction.
Due to people filing chargebacks on other people, it would be fair to give refund
permissions ONLY to the seller. This way, if the buyer breeches the contract,
or simply wants their money back, the seller could then decide if a refund is
warranted.
It's like a regular BL order, except its just broken up over time.
What do you guys think?

|
| I always use the HIGH/LOW % indicator on the "Buy my wanted list" page to see
if I'm getting a good deal, however I don't always get the best results
because the indicator doesn't check if I wanted new/used. Example:
Part Average: New-$2 Used-$1
Store A Part Price: New-$1.90 - v10%
Store B Part Price: Used-$1.10 - ^10%
If I select "any" condition, I would expect that the used part for only $1.10
would be a better deal, and yet the page tells me thats overpriced. Instead I
buy the $1.90 part, thinking its a better deal (10% lower) but it's really
not.
Suggestion:
If "any" condition is selected, compare the part's price to the average of
both the new AND used price.

|
| Dear Members of the BrickLink community,
as many of those of you who buy LEGO parts etc. on this site may know, for quite
a while the Buy Wizard (as invoked from a Wanted List) has shown a price comparison
for parts as percentages relative to the average price. This was visible when
selecting an individual shop from the results that were shown by the Buy Wizard,
and price differences were highlighted in green or red (indicating whether the
price of a part was higher or lower than the average price). In addition, a total
average difference (also expressed as percentage) was shown at the bottom of
the list.
This was in my view an extremely useful feature which made it possible to identify
particularly inexpensive parts from a sellers list or highly priced items. I
have used this feature in many cases, and for example have increased the amount
of parts ordered for relatively inexpensive parts and removed very expensive
parts from the list that I then added to my shopping cart.
Now suddenly this feature has been completely removed. I have initially suspected
this to be a bug, but E-mail communication with maintainers of the BrickLink
site has revealed that removal of this feature was intentional. This has been
done quite without notifying the community and without providing any reasons
or explanations. I do not agree with the removal of this feature and believe
that many users - especially Buyers - find this feature extremely useful. I therefore
request that it will be restored and ask for the support of the BrickLink community.
Best regards, Thomas

2) Be able to have part of a lot in the stockroom and part of it for sale. Say
I have a lot of 50 of a part, but on an inventory I only find 45 of them. 5

|
| For some time now we have had considerable difficulty in reconciling the fees
statement to our accounts system. The fees are always paid - there is no problem
there, but the fact that it is a summary rather than detail and the conversion
rates may or may not be different it makes it a job rather than just a quick
check.
We would like to see each store given the option to receive either the summary
or a detailed breakdown. The detailed breakdown should include each order the
store is being charged for the date and value of that order and the calculated
fee + currency conversion rate.
Those of us who do not deal in dollars would like that information available.
Those who don't require it can remain with the summary.
If the fees program is within the code for Bricklink, this should not be a complicated
change as it has all the info already. If it is in another system that would
have to be looked at but even today's most simple billing programs allow
for this type of information to be presented.

|
| background: Buyers will, in many/most cases, shun used parts because there is
no formal method of sellers telling buyers what to expect. Buyers will always
turn to New parts, unless the supply of New parts is constrained, or the cost
of New parts is significantly above the cost of Used parts.
suggestion: Give sellers the ability to apply a simple 4-level rating system
to help buyers better distinguish what they will be receiving. The 4 levels are:
Like New - barely distinguishable, or indistinguishable, from New parts.
Average - Average playware, The usual scratches, and very minor nicks along sharp
edges.
Worn - Wear levels that include, but not limited to, ABC, heavily worn from years
(or generations) of playware.
Unrated - Parts which do not qualify as New, but the seller has not rated them
in one of the above 3 levels.
Thank You

when you entered a store. Now you can fill your cart only to find out when looking
at your cart that you cannot actually shop in a store.
Please make the "Seller Refuses Service" status more clear and as soon as possible!

|
| I was going through a used lot of LEGO I purchased, and I thought,
"How cool would it be if Bricklink had a feature that show the sets that parts
might have come from."
Example...
I have 3 red 2x2 cones, and 4 Green Hinge plates, and 2 Yellow 1x6 Wedge plates.
If you could enter these parts into a query, and have the system give you a list
of sets that contain those parts, it could possibly increase sales for many stores
by people wanting to complete sets. Increased sales for Bricklink sellers, means
more income for Bricklink.
You already have a feature that lists all the sets with specific parts, so I
imagine it wouldn't be too difficult to cross reference multiple parts.
But I know nothing about coding, so...
What do you think?

| I've been had!!!
Suggestion: Counterfiet Seller's Registry
First time user of Bricklink. Was excited to buy "new sealed" discontinued star
wars set on behalf of my son at what I thought was a fair price.
Posted positive feedback immediately because item was sealed and appeared to
be in authentic packaging. All logos present with circled R and tm etc.
Upon inspection of parts even noticed "LEGO" on all studs. However edges were
sharper than genuine parts, also in general parts felt lighter, minor differences
in shapes of familiar elements. Amazed at the attention to detail of the fakers.
But, in my heart of hearts I know it's a fake set. Instructions and promotional
items all there etc. I don't think my son even knows or cares. I've also
compared the seals and box to "youtube speed build" of the same authentic set
and noted differences in seals and packaging(e.g. barcoded box seals).
Is there a way to report a seller if you believe they are selling fake sets?
I would like to report this person so that others don't fall victim as I
have. I would never want to pass this set or it's elements on as authentic.
I don't even care to fight for my money back, but I don't want this to
happen to others. It has eroded my trust in bricklink at this point.
Thanks for listenting to my rant,
Duped in NC

|
| BrickLink already keeps track of what sets I have parted out. I can go look up
the log of my past uploads. If would be helpful if sellers were automatically
notified when a set they have parted out in the past has its inventory updated.
Then I would be able to go double-check that lot to make sure it wasn't from
the newer version of the set inventory. It would allow me to provide better customer
service because I would have less errors in my inventory.
Here is the reason for my suggestion:
Say in July 2016 I parted out 20 of a set. In August 2016, someone updates the
inventory with a variant part. I am left completely unaware that half of my parts
were actually the second variant until I notice a mixture while pulling the order.
Another version of this scenario is when LEGO changes the build and the number
of pieces in a lot changes. My inventory might say I have 120 pieces in a lot,
but I actually only have 100. If someone buys out the lot, hopefully I can find
more of that piece in a set I have waiting to part out.
If I were notified of set inventory updates on sets I have parted out, I could
go check my inventory before there is a problem.

|
| The API currently allows registration of notification URLs that will get POST
data once some events are raised (orders, messages, feedback). This is great!
However, in order to implement this we need a server that accepts POST data publicly.
Right now there is no easy way to verify that this POST request is actually coming
from BrickLink.
While we can check the IP from which the request originated, I think a better
alternative would be for the push notification request to contain a signature
in the body. Perhaps the ConsumerSecret could be used to sign the request via
HMAC and include this signature as part of the request? Including an additional
attribute in the JSON object should not break existing implementations.

|
| This one has been around a long time and unfortunately nothing seems to be happening
with it.
Bricklink needs to change the way the login/accounts function works. As a medium
sized store with an owner and 3 employees we need to allow the employees to log
into Bricklink and update store inventory, prices etc almost every day and as
things currently stand they have to use the owners login details (Poor security).
SQL, which is used for the database has quite a good security system built in
so even if we went native with that, it would be better than the current situation.
The same thing applies for stores with multiple locations - we have two processing
centres - one where all of our Lego inventory is stored, picked etc and one where
orders are packed and shipped from. Hence we want to set up a shipping from address
and a shipping to address. The fact that not all stores support the alternate
address system on Bricklink, as it currently stands means the only real way to
do this is using alternates on Paypal (for those that use Paypal).
So in summary - multiple logins to the stores with security/control permissions
and a minimum of 2 address for each store - one for ship from and 1 for ship
to.
As an afterthought it might not be a bad idea to allow store owners to have two
accounts - one for buying and one for selling, with the appropriate feedback
associated with each function. This might make a difference as to how people
look at a situation - In our case we have over 800 buying feedback and over 2000
selling feedbacks.

|
| On the feedback page we now have a part which says how many cancelled orders
a seller has
The problem is, I look at that as a buyer and assume the seller cancelled it
and that makes me wobble a bit about buying.
Of course different people will see this number in different ways and alot of
folks wont even consider it at all.
So, I received an order and a couple of days later receive this email
"Thank you but I have sourced the parts from another seller with a different
order but he had stated at first he had none but it was I that was putting in
the wrong colour sorry to of wasted your time"
Fair enough, new user, small order, more than happy to cancel, its good customer
service
But, now, because of my willingness to be helpful I have this statistic on my
profile that suggests I cancel more than 5% of my orders and that makes me look
bad as a seller, my suggestion is simple:
Please consider either:
changing the cancellations counter so that it does not include circumstances
where the order has been cancelled by and OCR initiated by the buyer
OR (almost as good)
Seperate buyer and seller initiated cancellations so that buyers can make a more
educated choice as to whether a seller with lots of cancellations is providing
good customer service or is unreliable at fulfilling orders

I suggest to ban selling custom parts from bricklink that aren't official
LEGO parts.
LEGO guarantee for quality of their parts and we can't know of what kind
of plastic are made custom parts. Plastic maybe toxic or another way harmful.
And what guarantee we have that those parts aren't from fake LEGO brands
like Lepin or similar.
Let those fake parts be on ebay and other sites, let bricklink be just for LEGO
and not for "Lego".
Cheers

| Bricklink's forum is very ugly and hard to read/navigate. Why do I have to
click on the replies (Msgs) one by one? All responses should be displayed on
one screen. Also what's the point of "RE: what's this?" showing up 17
times in a row on the main page. Each post should only be displayed once. If
it gets a reply, the post should go bold so that readers know there is a new
response. This way the front page isn't spammed to high heaven. Maybe it's
because I'm using my phone? I've never tried on a desktop or laptop.
Anyway, these forums are gross to look at. I can't imagine ever using this

of every page, why do we need another one (that moves around no less)? Additionally,
I think I can manage manually scrolling to the top of my home screen without
the aid of a bow and arrow.
Is this a recent change or have I just not noticed it before? Do we have to
have these controls that hover and move around on the screen erratically? It's
especially frustrating on a small mobile screen--it's just clutter.
Can we drop them or at least have an option in our settings to turn them off?

| It seems like admins are starting to look back at the pile of suggestions we
have.
Implementing some discarding some...
However it is not clear if they are basing the decisions on what to implement
or do with the site based on old votes, new votes, by some other parameter or
just plain randomly.
When dealing with major changes like price comparison etc, it would be good to
poll the entire site not just forum users about what to do.
A simple email with a yes/no toggle for a couple important suggestions and the
option to subscribe for future polling.
If the user does not reply they don't get emailed the next round if they
do their vote is counted.
Each poll could be open for say 3 days.
The next poll would come when the admins are ready to implement new changes.
In this way if you don't vote then you have to shut up and stop bickering
in the forum. If you vote but are minority then oh well better luck next time.
I know BL is not a democracy but it could actually help BL to listen to what
the great majority of BL users, buyers and sellers want and not just do random
stuff.

|
| I am not even certain I think this is a good idea, but I had this thought.
Suppose Bricklink required that one pass a simple test, before being able to
sell on Bricklink.
The test would require that one be able to use the catalog, to verify the part
and color that they are offering for sale.
Such things as the length in dots (or diameter in case of something like a rubber
band) could be done with pictures (like showing something that is 5 lego dots
long, next to a Lego plate, aligned so one can see how many dots long it is,
and having them select the correct length from multiple choices).
Or maybe include some pictures of pieces in some colors that are close, but different
enough to easily identify.
Or maybe a better idea is to present sellers with a verification popup, when
listing certain part/color combinations.
- Anytime a color is listed, that is no longer in production, a popup asking
the seller to verify the color, and telling them the color has not been produced
since (year), would avoid some errors.
- Anytime it is a part/color combination, that is not one that is known to have
been in any set, a verification popup would be useful.

It would sure help out a LOT if in the "download orders" list, you could separate
out the "Item Description" to be 3 separate columns: Type (brick, plate, tile,

This would make it MUCH easier to pivot by item number, type, color, etc.

|
| Hello,
I hope someone from the Bricklink team reads me.
Here is my suggestion: why not expand Bricklink towards Playmobil products?
While the AFOP community isn't quite as vibrant as the AFOL community, there
are many adult fans of Playmobil out there (including me) who have been sharing
and buying/selling for years now on different internet forums. We even have our
own sets/parts database at playmodb.org
But this community lacks a global and well-organized marketplace like Bricklink.
So why not expand? It would be a bit of work from the Bricklink team's part,
but adapting Bricklink's framework to Playmobil products should be doable,
especially if you use the playmodb database which would spare you quite some
trouble. And it ultimately would mean more money for you.
I'd very much like you to consider this project. If playmolink or klicklink
or whatever its name was ever created, I'd certainly be the first to set
up shop and do publicity on your behalf to the AFOP community.
Thank you for your attention and have a nice day

| I posted this a few hours ago here: https://www.bricklink.com/messageThread.asp?ID=217172&nID=1028587
but i thought it might be better to do so here.
Since i have some experience in infosec, i thought i vent an idea here.
I just signed up a few days ago, (great to be here so far!) and noticed the same,
i have had 2 haunted houses mails of under 150€, in the last 3 days.
Yesterday Susan, day before Anthony.
Anthony actually send me a very small, low res. pic, without ANY exif data...
If you think i am crazy to check these things, well wake up and welcome to the
interweb: The biggest darkest alley, filled with criminals, where you would normally
never come! (and yes my friend call me internet-paranoid).
Before i could answer it was sold. Never got that answer.
It is a sad thing scammers...
so my solution, kind off.
Maybe give new sign-ups a week or so a status of "aspiring member" for an x period
(week/2 weeks).
In this period a new member can only buy NOT sell. (maybe even have to buy before
you can sell? although that's a biggie)
It is no fool proof solution, but a big hurdle for scammers looking for a quick
buck.
This will stop most if not all quick scammers, i take it IP addresses are already
logged and banned? Maybe analyse those, is there a trend?
Although i think this will help a lot, even asking for copy of ID, what i do
NOT propose is no really watertight solution.
(who is going to check all those, and securely safe the data of those offsite?,
complience etc)
my 2 cents...

| Improvements to the invoicing capabilities from within Bricklink. When the development
team are evaluating the things they wish to include in their next release e.g.
tools for the stores, inventory management etc, please do not ignore the invoice.
We need the ability to include graphics (e.g. store logo) and provide the ability
to use attachments as well as design our own. Almost all modern systems allow
for this.
It is a marketing tool and needs to be used as such - not what we currently have.

| It looks like the payment method is set default to PayPal.
There's no option for the seller to change this.
This will cause at least more domestic orders with PayPal as payment method.
I'm sure most sellers (and even buyers) are not happy with this.
I would prefer to be able to choose the default payment method myself(as a seller).
Just like the shipping methods, default for
- all buyers
- domestic buyers
- international buyers
Or even better, for both shipping method ánd payment method:
- all
- domestic
- EU
- International outside EU
But this is asked for many times already during the past years.
Since Bricklink does make the difference between EU and non-EU with VAT, it
also
should be possible for these methods.
As long as it is not possible for a seller to choose the default payment method
for at least domestic and international buyers, I would prefer Bricklink to
remove
this default for all buyers.

|
| I am aware that this has been suggested many times before by various people and
unfortunately nothing has ever been done about it but perhaps now is the time
to bring it back up.
When a new used comes to Bricklink they are faced with lots of hurdles - they
will not recognise the Bricklink part numbering system; and in lots of cases
the colours as many of them have totally different names.
The Lego stores also call colours differently e.g. Dark Blue to them is their
standard blue brick and if you ask for Earth Blue - they often look at you with
a puzzled look, even though that is an official Lego Colour name. The same with
Green etc.
So, with that in mind could the Bricklink developers not come up with a better
idea than the current colour chart for the catalogue. Perhaps similar to the
very old and outdated Peeron one.
It would help the new buyers - and after all we give them the option to key in
the number at the back of the Lego instructions to find a part (and little do
they know by using that number they get the part in the correct colour).
Bricklink want to encourage new buyers and as a store we want that as well -
but let us give them the tools do make it easier for them not more complicated.

|
| Please implement standard deviation.
By eliminating the (small number)% cheapest and (small number) % most expensively
priced lots, the average price index would be "more statistically significant"
in scientific terms ( less error margin ).
This is only necessary for items that have at least e.g. 10 distinct lots for
sale.
Why this suggestion ?
Yesterday i noticed one particular seller set all his prices at ( BL avg x 10000
). This caused average price index "lots for sale" to be inflated at least
tenfold.
Someone else suggested he made a mistake in currency.
If this one shopkeeper persists, unwanted "extreme" inflation may occur on several
very common items, and those lots - for sellers not paying attention when adding
to their inventory - might become impossible to sell.

|
| Hello,
Can someone explain me why are feedback allowed for cancelled orders?
Example: I have a buyer, who bought hundreds of euro of stuff from me. After
7 days you can start a NPB. After 14 days you can cancel the order if you are
lucky that they do not reply. If they reply, it needs 21 days to cancel the order.
If you cancel the order BEFORE 21 days, they can leave a negative feedback.
If you cancel the order after those 21 days, they cannot leave a negative feedback.
So I usually wait 21 days (or 14 if I am lucky).
Thus, people can block hundreds of euro worth of lego from your store for 21
days. Yes, they will have a penalty, but it's however a big loss for a seller.
I believe that it would be more useful if no feedback for cancelled order was
allowed.
Please if I am not correct help me to be corrected.

|
| When a part is listed with color (not applicable), the sample image is white.
When listing white parts, this can cause confusion because they wouldn't
come up in a search for white and the error is hard to detect. When the parts
are actually some other color, the confusion is more obvious.
Perhaps the Not Applicable image could be a line drawing or otherwise altered.

|
| The catalog is littered with parts that have very likely been uploaded under
the wrong color. Look at 4495 for example, I would guess that 6 of those colors
with lots under them are just listed incorrectly (bright pink, dark blue-violet,
dark purple, Maersk blue, pink, rust).
* | | 4495 Flag 4 x 1 Wave Undetermined (Undetermined Type)
Parts: Flag
Marked for Deletion |
This shouldn't happen when parting out new sets, but when listing used parts,
it seems some sellers don't check against current listings or against the
"known colors" data for the part they are listing, and they end up picking whatever
they want.
I would like to suggest that a control mechanism be put in place to help address
this. Maybe if a seller is adding a part to their store that is not a known color,
there can be a popup saying "this is not a known color for this part - are you
sure?". Maybe the pop-up can contain a list of the known colors to choose from.
If the seller is confident they have a "new" color, they can click "this part
is not a known color" to proceed with the listing.
Ideally, this would flag the entry with a tag that can be used in searches and
wanted list notifications. I would love to pick a part and ask to be notified
when one is listed in a "new color", or to be able to search within categories
for parts in new colors.

| As it is now the built in message system is near useless to keep customer contacts
with.
And messages I send to customers through my regular mail client wont show up
on the order, witch is a downside.
So what if all users got a pop3 enabled mail-box with "username@bricklink.com"?
Me as a seller could simply add the bricklink messaging to my mail-client, and
any communication with the buyer through that channel would show on the order.
What do the rest of you think?

not sure if this is a bug or not, but for me it looks like it is not possible
to upload a store logo with transparency. That seems strange, because BL even
requests it to be a png-file. The standard logo has a transparent background,
but whatever I do, my store logo won't show with transparency.

|
| 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?

|
| Respectfully recommend an auto-ban of any user that requests a seller lie on
customs forms based on a specific criteria (e.g., 5 unique seller complaints
for the same username). Note this in the buyer guide/help context (against the
rules, fraud, account will be auto-banned).
Worse, some buyers are punishing sellers by leaving negative feedback when they
are merely being good, fair-minded citizens that are following federal regulations
and complying with the LAW.
My understanding is that this is not the first time this has been requested.
Seems to me this could be a field appended to the existing database that is populated
by admins based on seller complaints as a regulatory-minded service to the seller
community.

|
| Hi all,
New sellers are supposed to offer only “PayPal with Purchase Protection,”
or to be first vetted by BrickLink administration. ( http://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=2440
)
I’d suggest that the “not vetted” status of new sellers be made clearly visible,
so that buyers (especially unexperienced ones) would know to only use PayPal
with them (even if the seller has a “my Paypal is borken” excuse).
This idea first came as a “badge” showing vetted/non-vetted status but I don’t
think a tiny logo/link beside their username would do.
Maybe a more prominent information box (splash?) in their store would be more
useful.
That information would be shown until the store has “enough credit history” to
be able to use other payment methods (as the “vetted” sellers).
Thoughts?

| Hello Admin, just wondering if you people might be working on a way to upload
the same part but different colours at the same time rather than going back every
time and repeating the same step over and over again. I tried BrickStock and
since I use Canadian Pricing it won't work for me.
What I would like to see is on the upload part page is : qty of part and colour
and select pricing then right under that another line so I can add then my next
colour of brick and so on and so on and hit submit once, similar to the parting
out a set page.
Thanks

than I may have other, more universally relevant concerns, here are two requests
I have:
1. Please segregate wheels and tires. I'd like to use bare wheels as engines,
for example.
2. Please allow bricks that would fit in the center of studs IRL to be able to
do so. For example, a tap in the middle of a 2x2 plate.
Thank you!
