It'd be nice with a link to the feedback for a purchase from the price guide
of a product, to get an idea of how happy the buyer/seller was with the purchase
for the price they gave.

Does it annoy any other Sellers that when you visit your quote page you see EVERY
quote you have ever given? Please add a FILE option so that once a quote is no
longer valid, has been rejected or is even accepted and finished we can make
it go away.

Also, the number in parentheses beside the Quotes (4) link should only represent
open, active, or incomplete quotes. Every time I see it I get a jolt thinking
I have left something undone.

My suggestion is for invoices for new users to automatically go thru the BL message
system (as well as email). This may cut down new users not seeing invoices in
their email for whatever reason.

I don't see that receiving BL invoices via the message system & email is
labeled as the default setting, so I thought I'd suggest it.

The on/off button is currently found in the My Settings: My Contact Settings
section.

There can be a link to disable the feature within the message.

I really like having this feature on at all times, but I can see how some may
find it bothersome.

Hey folks!

Buyers can't see their cart weight unless they enable some obscure option.
Why is that option even not enabled by default? Why can't I, as a seller,
force buyers to see their cart weight in my store?

This means that if buyers aren't aware that this option exists, they have
to guess the weight, ask the seller continuously as they add batches, or request
a bunch of quotes.

Why force this upon ourselves when the website can automatically do it for us?

I suggest we allow sellers to show cart weights to their buyers, even if the
buyers haven't enabled that option.

Thanks for voting!

Hey folks!

I think this option is counter-productive for buyers. (See image below)

Sellers are allowed to turn off the display of cart weight in their store, even
if the buyer has chosen to see cart weight.

This means that if buyers are cost-of-shipping-sensitive, they have to manually
calculate the cart weight, or ask the seller for a quote.

Why force this upon ourselves when the website can automatically do it for us?

I suggest we force sellers to have the weight of cart shown within their store.

Thanks for voting!

In my opinion the largest problem of the Bricklink page is that the final shipping
costs are often unknown till the invoice. It is much too late. I suggest calculating
the maximum shipping costs before the final checkout.
Let me display an example:
The buyer Alice orders parts which weigh 80 grams. The seller Bob states that
the shipping costs are 3 EUR up to 100 grams and 4 EUR up to 200 grams. Bob means
the TOTAL weight while from Alice's point of view the weight of packing materials
is unknown and never stated. This way Alice doesn't know the final price.
(Btw. I suppose it is against the EU law.)

Once I have come across such a case that in seller's opinion the maximum
net weight of parts was about 30 grams to keep the total weight below 100 grams!
Is it fair and clear?

I can see the following solutions:
(i) suggest the buyers to state their shipping costs precisely, in terms of net
weight of parts or dimensions of parts
(ii) apply automatic calcultion of maximum shipping costs on the checkout page
so that the seller couldn't apply higher costs.
The latter one is much better.

When you click on an item in a store at present, you go first to the small image,
then have to click again to get a large image. Why not go straight to the large
image?

If your goal is to go to the item in catalog, the picture you go to first makes
no difference.

If your goal is to see a bigger picture of the item, you still have to click
again, why not go straight to larger picture?

There are a number of slow shippers on Bricklink, but bricks are perfect when
they arrive.

I actually like ebay system of being able to rank item/communication/shipping
separately.

hi

not sure if this has been suggested before

I have been a member for a while but only recently started buying lego off here
and I like to keep track of what lego I have but its a pain writing it all down
when I buy lego, as you have an inventory for sellers I think it would be a good
idea to have one for buyers.

as orders arrive I would like to be able to add it to my inventory and also see
a total amount I have of that lego piece next to each item when in a shop, so
it tells me how many Technic, Liftarm 1 x 7 Thick, Black, next to the qty that
the seller has if that makes sense?

not sure about anyone else but this would make it so much easier for me as I
then don't have to keep checking if I have that lego piece when im looking,
this will help me decide if I need more of that lego piece or if I have enough
of them for now and stop me maybe ordering the same pieces from 2 different stores
days a part when I place orders

thank you

Hi,

I don't use the forum very often, but was on yesterday and was annoyed by
the amount of spam that was flying around offering passports etc.

Can i suggest that the forum is restricted to members who have received some
(one) positive feedback for either a purchase or sale.

This would prohibit people from just registering and posting SPAM.
