Would it be possible to show the names of the address fields?
With international addresses it sometimes is not clear what is the city, what
is the region, what is the streetname, etc.

And even with national addresses it is not clear. I just had somebody with two
streetnames and numbers. This is probably the address 1 streetname, number and
the optional address 2 streetname, number. But when shipping I can only use one
address. When would I as a seller use the optional address, how would i know
to use it?

And it would also be useful if the address is filled out in 'english'
(i.e. no chinese, russian, israelian characters that are not always available
in shipping label apps)

Please remove the default quote of the previous forum post in a post reply.

I find the forum difficult to read because of the forum style (where each reply
can become a seperate thread)
All the unneccessary quotes make it even more difficult to read.

Sometimes in a large discussion a reply is almost reduced to vertical layout
of words (somewhere on the right side of the screen) because of all the quotes
and thread splits.

Before deleting an item listed for sale, please give a notice to the seller.
That way the seller can change the listing to comply with the rules (instead
of having to enter everything again).

The e-mail does not give the full listing details, so it is not always clear
what is wrong with the listed item. Also the reason given is not clear.

I just recieved an e-mail stating that a few stickers I listed are deleted.
Reason given: "Item is incorrectly defined as New/Used or Complete/Incomplete/Sealed"
It concerns a few incomplete sticker sheets. I have more incomplete sheets listed
and they are not deleted or mentioned in the e-mail.

Is it wrong to list incomplete sticker sheets as 'new' (with a picture
of the actual sheet and clearly stated in the comments that it is incomplete)?
The stickers still on the sheet are new (never used).
Just to be save I changed the remaining incomplete sticker sheets to 'used'.
And I will re-list the deleted items as 'used'. Hopefully I can still
fing the pictures of the deleted items.

Could we have a more complete original box description in the catalogue?
Currently there is only a, not always good, picture of the box and measurements.

The current boxes are usually only a simple, 1 layer, cardboard box with pictures
on all sides.

But the older boxes can be a cardboard sleave with inner box (and what colour
is the inner box). And possible one or more inner trays (plastic of a certain
colour).
And the older (train) sets may have the flap/lid and a see through cover.

I am currently processing some older train sets. And there are some with original
boxes (or parts thereof). But I have no way of knowing if the box I have is complete.
Is the outer box I have all there ever was, or does it also need a inner box
or tray?

So I would like to suggest:
-add more pictures of original packaging
-add a full description using some standard terms (to be determined)

Of course this would need some effort from the bricklink community to add this
information to the catalogue.

As far as I can see (maybe I overlooked something):

In the regular section of the inventory there are parts that are not used in
the main model (and the instructions or box do not show any secondary model):
1x black brick 1x2
2x black plate 1x1 clip horizontal
2x black slope inverted 75 2x1x3
1x black tile 1x4

But then in the extra parts section of set 10205 are 2x black panel 1x2x3 (2362b).
Shouldn't these two panels also be moved to the regular section?

Or should all these parts be moved to the 'extra' section as the secondary
model is not in the instructions?

It can take a lot of scrolling to find my price/quantities in the price guide
overview.
I always use 'sort by price and group by month' (consolidated currencies).
These options should remain.

So my suggestions for the price guide of a part in a certain color:

-As a seller I would like to see my data (price and quantities) at the top part
of the screen, or at the top of a month.

-Most of the time I am not immediately interested in each separate entry (sold
or available). I would prefer an overview of quantities per price. So instead
of seeing 10 separate entries for each transaction where the part sold for 0.01,
there would only be one entry per price. This will hopefully shorten the overview
somewhat.
--condense/collapse the separate entries to one per price
--it should be possible to click on the condensed/collapsed entry to see
all individual entries

Please add the option to show the 'submit' button on top of the overview.
Please add a select box to remove quotes from the overview

Also in the Quotes Summary,
Change the 'Qty Left' heading in something like 'Total Qty in Inventory'

In the top search fields, on the left the dropdown is now default 'all items'
and every time the screen refreshes it will be on 'all items'.

I would like an option to make it default to 'catalog items'. Currently
I can search in 'my inventory' and it will remain there even if the screen
refreshes. I would something similar for 'catalog items'
