Yes please.
You only need to look at sets (sorry, gear) like this to see why ...

I find much of the old one completely unnecessary, especially everything in the
lower half of the page. Nearly everything in the site map is unneccessary for
the MY BL page - it isn't about me. I'd prefer a cleaner page with a
single link to the site map for those that want to access it, rather than everything
in the site map on the MY page. After all a lot of that stuff is not about ME.
For example, the catalog section is not about ME and it is all accessible from
the SHOP tab. Same with stores. The forum stuff is accessible through the COMMUNITY
tab and so on and so on. Very little of that information is actually about me,
my store and my orders. It doesn't need to clutter a page about me, especially
if all of it is available within the menus.
There are so many links close together in the site map that they are next to
impossible to click on and get right first time if you are on a tablet or
worse on a smartphone. I'd much prefer an icon based screen with clickable
pictures rather than text links, even on a PC. I hope it is not just the My BL
that gets updated like this, but all pages.

Did you click the correct link, as it provides a buying tutorial explaining step

First of all, thank you to Teup for writing this post. I've heard from many
other users about this and since we certainly have no intention of "killing"
the European market, nor do we want any users to feel marginalized, we've
decided to allow IBAN for new sellers again.
Here's how it will work:
-New sellers who have not upgraded from a buyer in good standing† will need to
go through the verification process to open their store and will also need to
request IBAN permission.
-New sellers who have upgraded from a buyer account in good standing will need
to contact the help desk to request IBAN payment.
†"Buyer account in good standing" = Has had an active account for 100 days and
has received positive feedback from 5 different legitimate sellers.
***All new sellers will be required to have at least one onsite payment method
available in their store in order to accept IBAN**
I'll be updating the help topic for onsite/offsite payment methods and will

Great news.
Thanks Bricklink for allowing it again for new sellers.

Offsite Payment - No longer available for new users as of June 8, 2017.
To cover various payment options, BrickLink also provides Offsite Payment Methods.
Please note that BrickLink cannot provide any transaction related support for
the Offsite Payment Methods listed below. All responsibility for Offsite Payments
is solely upon buyer and seller.
I'm lost for words. Does Bricklink really want to kill the European market
or something? In my real life I don't even know anyone with PayPal (or a
Credit card). In the NL €20,000,000,000 is spent in webshops per year, and almost
all of these transactions are bank transfers. Almost no-one that I know will
consider PayPal, certainly not since it costs money while bank tranfers are free.
IBAN has really become simple in use; Transactions are free, fast, and bank account
numbers have been standardised to IBAN recently. Interfaces for bank transfers
(such as iDeal in the NL) are thriving more than ever and are the undisputed
standard.
And now Bricklink is moving in the opposite direction.
They will lose the Dutch market, which is the 4th largest country on the platform
in terms of store count. Bricklink always seemed a bit America First but this
decision right here really changes my opinion of Bricklink. I personally will
survive since it doesn't affect existing stores and I will move more of my
business over to BO which does support bank transfers. But they will certainly
scare away lots of potential customers here, and for new sellers this is crazy
unfair. This is either a huge mistake or Bricklink just isn't interested
in the European market..
Please support my suggestion to re-enable IBAN/Bank transfer, also if you don't
use it. For an accessable and thriving site that benefits all of us, and a site
that is fair to everyone.. it's really in all of our interest if you want
Bricklink to be #1..

Thank you so much for your feedback on this and most of all for the decision
to reenable it! I am very glad to hear this, not that it "affects" me in the
immediate sense but I feel much more comfortable about the future of Bricklink

| Most of my first time customers have said that they had difficulty finding the
pieces they wanted when first coming to Bricklink. Perhaps a link on how to navigate
the catalog or use the wanted lists, or a guide as to how to learn what piece
you need on the main page may be useful to people first coming to the site. I
believe this should be prominent.
And the "How do I find Items?" page is not what I'm thinking about. Maybe
a short youtube video explaining where the numbers are on Lego pieces, what they
mean and how to look for pieces you don't actually have. ie set inventories.
Thanks for considering,
Tyson.

| The site map on the old My BL page was quite handy and must more condensed than
the full site map.
I would like to suggest that it be added to the new page in some form. Maybe
a button that when clicked opens/expands the old map without changing pages,
if possible.
Also, the new page is nice to look at, but it has too much empty space leading
to unnecessary scrolling. Only half of the page is displayed on a 22" monitor
w/o scrolling, whereas before 3/4 of the page was displayed with 100% of the
major info on one.

Comments from Submitter:
I have checked my original directions multiple times and my count of the above items seems to be correct.
The additional black plate is needed to build an alternate model of the ship as shown on the last page of the directions. Can provide scans if needed.
If there is any interest i can also provide a better scan of the front page of the directions. But i need someone who can tell me were to send the image.

| in oppose to some previous comments i've seen, i actually like the New My
Bricklink Layout.
it's bigger and easier to navigate, props to BL on always trying to improve.
my suggestion is:
with a larger New My Bricklink page, maybe it's possible to add a notification
for "replies made to my forum comments"
right now if i write a forum comment i save it on my browser so i could later
check to see if my questions or comments were addressed- perhaps if there was
a notification available it might be easier.

The original post was right on the point: there is nothing to fix. The "old"
My BrickLink page is quite fine the way it is.
Seriously, there is nothing to fix there, please don't fix what isn't
broken.
The old page is highly practical: we can _immediately_ see everything we need
to know, and obviously without having to scroll anywhere. And on the same page,
without having to scroll, there's this very useful table of all links to
all of BrickLink. What else could one ask for? It's perfect.
The only thing that's broken with the "old" My BrickLink page is the huge
banner on top the messes up both the horizontal and vertical spacing. That could
be fixed.

| | In another thread someone brought this to my attention:
Offsite Payment - No longer available for new users as of June 8, 2017.
To cover various payment options, BrickLink also provides Offsite Payment Methods.
Please note that BrickLink cannot provide any transaction related support for
the Offsite Payment Methods listed below. All responsibility for Offsite Payments
is solely upon buyer and seller.
I'm lost for words. Does Bricklink really want to kill the European market
or something? In my real life I don't even know anyone with PayPal (or a
Credit card). In the NL €20,000,000,000 is spent in webshops per year, and almost
all of these transactions are bank transfers. Almost no-one that I know will
consider PayPal, certainly not since it costs money while bank tranfers are free.
IBAN has really become simple in use; Transactions are free, fast, and bank account
numbers have been standardised to IBAN recently. Interfaces for bank transfers
(such as iDeal in the NL) are thriving more than ever and are the undisputed
standard.
And now Bricklink is moving in the opposite direction.
They will lose the Dutch market, which is the 4th largest country on the platform
in terms of store count. Bricklink always seemed a bit America First but this
decision right here really changes my opinion of Bricklink. I personally will
survive since it doesn't affect existing stores and I will move more of my
business over to BO which does support bank transfers. But they will certainly
scare away lots of potential customers here, and for new sellers this is crazy
unfair. This is either a huge mistake or Bricklink just isn't interested
in the European market..
Please support my suggestion to re-enable IBAN/Bank transfer, also if you don't
use it. For an accessable and thriving site that benefits all of us, and a site
that is fair to everyone.. it's really in all of our interest if you want
Bricklink to be #1..

Comments from Submitter:
The Powerfunctions Kit would either contain a V1 and 8 train wheel (meaning it was from 7938/7939 originally but receivers may have been replaced with a new one to avoid defectives), V1 and 4 train wheels (meaning new production), and V2 and 4 train wheels (meaning special production during the release of the 9398 and 41999 where all IR receiver production was V2 for the 10,000 41999's and a large amount of 9398's).

More information from this submitter pertaining to this request:
Back when the 9398 and 41999 released, pretty much every technic set and train
set advertised those coming with the V2, also. In fact, if you look at the 60051
pictures on shop.lego, they actually use a V2 receiver (2nd last picture) and
60051 was released whilst the 41999 and 9398 was still in production. When the
41999 and 9398 went out of production, so did the V2 receivers. The Volvo Front
Loader, in Sariel's Lego Workshop, he mentions his Front Loader came with
V1 receivers, instead of V2 receivers. This is because he got the set after the
production end of the crawler sets. Every set with an IR receiver produced after
the production end was packed with V1's or V2's.
And a correction from previous comments:
Special Production: there were 20,000 sets made, not 10,000, 8 train wheel to
8 train wheels, and receivers to power functions.

In fairness for security of buyers, I would only vote yes if sellers were required
to offer a payment option that allowed recourse at no penalty (fees, etc).
Over the years I have read many forum messages about buyers losing money due
to using IBAN (often in the hundreds of $, euro). Bank transfers don't seem
to be in the spirit of fair e-commerce between individuals. Registered businesses
may be a different story.

Aliexpress offers Buyer protection for IBAN payments.
If BL implements a buyer protection program, they could use AliExpress as example.

building, especially with VR hand controllers allowing
you to snap Lego bricks into place.
It also would be fun to build Lego together online
with Facebook friends, and shrink down to play/socialize with Facebook friends

And you should also be able to upload/download Lego sets to an

Well, i do have a problem with this inventory. I just checked my two (very used) copies of this set and in both cases there is this difference in the number of the above mentionend parts. I counted them in the building directions multiple times but it seems to me that my count is correct.
So i am asking if someone can tell me that there where additional parts in the box that weren't used for the main set itself. Or if simply have to buy new glasses

As MarieA put it, this is not about opinions, arguments, preferences. I don't
like this kind of d*measuring contest but anyway, UK and NL are not that far
apart in size on Bricklink.
In the NL and many other countries PayPal is limited to a handful of internet
nerds, such as me. This is simply a fact that does not change depending on what
numbers you throw at it. These numbers are just total sums and say nothing about
distribution. The vast, vast majority of people here who buy online either don't
have it, don't know how it works, or have never even heard of the name.
You may not like it, but this is simply a reality. PayPal-only would mean virtually
eliminating a portion of Bricklink turnover that is really significant, bigger
than the UK portion.
Even if you would explain to the European (and perhaps Australian) consumer how
PayPal is really the bees knees, they will not understand why they should pay
money for a transaction. It's an anachronism to them.
These are just realities, I'm not talking about what payment method is best.
If the entire world suddenly decided to pay by doing a silly dance, I will happily
do silly dances. I don't care how, I just want to be able to pay my bills
and not be cut off from my customers.. they want IBAN, so I want IBAN.
|
Don't understand me wrong I agree with you but bank transfers are so yesterday
and without any protection
I do offer IBAN and Stripe but I don't like them I prefer to pay PayPal fee
but to be protected
None of the payments platforms offer protection like PayPal so be sure PayPal
will be bigger and bigger...
|
-For clarification: this is the realm of opinions and is therefore off the topic
of the suggestion -
Actually, I don't see PayPal replacing bank transfers at all, not here. I
cannot imagine my mother signing up to PayPal and understand how that all works.
Bank transfers are probably tedious if you're in a country where that system
has not evolved to a comfortable point, but here there is an interface for them
that every single web store uses and everyone knows how to use it. You just pay
by clicking a button, the only extra trouble is getting a code and entering another
code, but this takes about 10 seconds and it is protection. PayPal does not have
this protection; everyone who has your credentials has access to your money.
Also, PayPal opens the door to fiscal scamming as it complicates the government's
efforts to keep track of how much money everyone has (though PayPal does have
some level of protection on this, but probably not 100% transparent like banks).
You are right PayPal offers a different type of protection, it's not as safe
when it comes to theft from an account, but it is safer against scamming. But
in my opinion, this is not the type of protection I need. I believe that this
comes down to human decency and does not need to be regulated. If there was a
service to escort me safely down the street for a small fee, I also wouldn't
like that. Public surveillance by camera is also very limited by law here. But
if we have this discucssion it would be endless, because all points of view have
good arguments. It's just a personal or cultural preference. The protection
PayPal offers and the protection IBAN offers are different from one another,
people can have different preferences according to their philosophy.
In short I don't believe there is a way to predict which payment method will
"win" (if any) based on their technical specs. People use what they use, and
we'll just have to wait and see how that evolves..

| Check with the seller, but remember that if you paid with PayPal, they get about
35p of the 48p and if that postage rate is correct at 99p, who or where does
the money come from for the envelope / packing, that is why some sellers have
a minimum order amount or a packing charge on small orders.

Ask the seller or check their terms page.
Maybe it is for packaging or small order costs (as often small orders lose money).

Calm down dear, they weren't insulting you or anyone, rather explaining how
PayPal is seen within the Netherlands.
IBAN is a very common method of payment across the Euro zone, particularly
in the Benelux states. There are various other online payment methods here too
but they're not widely supported by non-Benelux retailers.
In a way I support the move to restrict IBAN as it offers zero protection for
consumers and loads the entirety of the risk onto their shoulders. In the case
of many Benelux retailers, this is fine as they comply with consumer legislation,
they publish their business address and there will be a complaints/redress procedure.
In the case of BL sellers, this is far from the norm and paying by IBAN represents
a serious risk.
However, as has been said, restricting this payment method will inconvenience
many people who are happy to use IBAN regardless of its lack of protection. BL
will simply lose some of these customers but only time will tell how many.
I suspect this is only the first salvo in BL's decision to push sellers towards
accepting PayPal exclusively, perhaps as an attempt to standardise fees and possibly
as a first step in making auto-checkout mandatory.

| I deleted my vote, however, I believe that bank transfers among individuals are
a path to unfair play. This is especially so when sellers charge extra for a
buyer to use a payment method that has some form of recourse against fraud.
This can even happen with honest people that don't intend to cause issues.
A seller gets extremely ill, coma, death, and is unable to ship the goods.
Unfortunately, it happens. I've read of at least 3 deaths, 1 coma, and various
other issues to BL members, since joining.
I will continue to use PayPal for this extra piece of mind that my buyers have
protection should something happen.

And just to be clear: it's not just registered businesses I'm talking
about. Dutch equivalents of eBay and Craigslist, where private indivuals deal
with each other, are 100% bank transfer based.
If a Dutch person will sign up here and find that this way of paying is not supported,
they will most likely leave. That will be a disaster for the Dutch market but
also affect the American part, since from what I have seen it is very common
for people to sign up here, use the payment method they are familiar with (Bricklink
is already very overwhelming when you first sign up) and then make the step to
buying overseas and looking into something like PayPal. That's what I did,
too. If there was no way to pay by bank transfer, I would never have signed up
here.

I signed up for PayPal when I made my first BrickLink purchase in the USA.
I would not have signed up for BrickLink if I had to sign up for an unusual payment
system at the same time (and PayPal really is uncommon here).
In my personal opinion, PayPal still basically feels like a solution for countries
that do not have a decent banking system

| Well, as I posted it's also about individuals, but your suggestion to limit
it to registered businesses could be acceptable. It is not great, and I really
believe it should be available to all, but if there is no way Bricklink will
make it the way it was, your suggestion could be a possible alternative. A seller
would then have to provide a link to their country's trade register and show
their business registration.
Or, it could be available by default, and revoked/suspended if there are issues.
Something like this. I really don't think any of this is needed, based on
my experience in a place where bank transfer is the norm, but if Bricklink really
won't be able to believe that, they could package it like this.

Well, you have arguments against IBAN, and maybe you have a point. But I hope
you do realise that voting no is voting for Bricklink to focus on America and
put other sellers out of business.
Even if other people would only be willing to deliver money by horse and carriage
and you could think of 83453946 arguments against that, excluding that payment
option is excluding those people.
You're saying bank transfers are not in the spirit of fair e-commerce, but
here e-commerce is absolutely huge to the point that entire brick-and-mortar
shopping centers go empty, and almost all of that goes through bank transfers.
Everybody uses it, daily, all ages and walks of life. It is rare for people to
pay in another way. Your idea of what e-commerce should be has good arguments,
but it is not necessarily what e-commerce should be for all people.

They will lose the Dutch market, which is the 4th largest country on the platform

decision right here really changes my opinion of Bricklink. I personally will
survive since it doesn't affect existing stores and I will move more of my
business over to BO which does support bank transfers. But they will certainly
scare away lots of potential customers here, and for new sellers this is crazy
unfair. This is either a huge mistake or Bricklink just isn't interested
in the European market..

Well, that may be so, but in my 10 years of selling I have frequently sent out
orders even before buyers submitted their payments, and even told buyers that
I do this, and not once anyone "stole" anything from me. The only reason I still
check payments is to be able to contribute to Bricklink with accurate feedback
(wouldn't be good to post positive if they didn't pay) but personally
I would prefer to just take samples, instead of verifying everyone. In supermarkets
here it's the same, you can just walk out without paying if you want, but
once in a while an employee comes to check if you're paying properly.
Anyway, it's an interesting discussion yes, but just to be clear: whatever
IBAN pros and cons we can think of and whatever our opinion about it is, I'm
just bringing to everyone's attention that this decision is going to cause
Bricklink to lose a great deal of European market. In the NL (and more countries
in Europe, and as I now learned, Australia too) people strongly prefer IBAN,
and basically, PayPal is something for internet nerds. That is simply a reality.
Limiting Bricklink to PayPal is limiting it to internet nerds and lose a massive
market..

I sympathise with the problem but voted no. In this specific case I can see the
logic but there are other cases where this would not be appropriate and the buyer
could be "abused". We have some sellers here who take more than 3 days to send
an invoice! What I would agree though is that if a buyer responds to an NPB (but
still doesn't pay) then the 2 week limit for the seller completing the NPB
should be reduced to one week, just as for cases where the buyer does not respond.

Make it three days from invoice, rather than order. BL knows the invoice date.
And do the same the other way around. If a seller doesn't invoice within
three days, then allow the buyer to cancel the order penalty free.

(if there is no reply). Not 7 days after the NPB is opened. Of maybe 7 days after
the user last logged in.
Agree it should be faster for buyers who obviously just disappear and don't
care at all.
Until BL implements something like this I'm just going to cancel without
doing the NPB. I don't want to have to remember to follow up later.

The NPB is a payment reminder with the intention to get the payment.
Sending payment can take more time than 3 days, for example a bank transfer isn't
proccessed during weekends or holidays or sending a money order or cash is relying
on the Post.
In a worldwide market there's also a day/night difference.
The time between the seller sending an invoice and the buyer seeing it varies
too.
The buyer can always select Cancel the order and accept penalty.
Please note as Seller you can cancel any order anytime anyway, and relist the
items.
You don't need to go through and complete the NPB process if you believe
money is more important than warning others and you can always reply to an unwanted
feedback.
|
I know that a payment sometimes takes more time but i wrote already in a reply
that if i sent an invoice and three days later i start the NPB then there is
still 3 days to complete it wich makes a total of 6 days to recieve a payment.
This should be enough to recieve the payment.
In most cases the NPB will be started much later.
Canceling the order is not a good option as you can still get a neutral or negative
FB from the so called buyer....
It's definitely not about the money, its just the time to t takes to get
your part available again.
|
Yes it is, being able to relist faster is a faster chance of another paid order.
| | An examplle is an order i got,
Sent invoice and no reply or payment for more then a week.
Started NPB and within a day the buyer replied to it telling shipping was to
high...revolving in an extra 7 days before i could cmpl the NPB.....
|
Just cancel the order after the buyer replied.
Then you can relist your items and you aren't punishing this new buyer for
replying.
Explain him shortly how BL works instead of chasing him away.
I only complete the NPB and leave a negative for buyers who don't reply.
|
I explained the whole thing to him in a message sent right after the invoice.
Again in a mail 4 days later.
He is not been online since the day he registered and placed the order.
A simple line like just cancel the order wenn he replies will not work here i
guess.
I just have to sit out the seven days before cmpl the NPB i guess.
System works ok for buyers that reply on the NPB and with my suggestion they
would still have time enough to reply and avoid the penalty but in cases of no
reply it just eats too much time.......

Yeah, I agree. Whenever there's an NPB, something unusual is going on, maybe
someone was suddenly caught up in something, maybe in hospital, who knows.. there
needs to be some time to fix it. I have had several NPB's averted in the
last day or two of the process. Besides, the average age of things in my shop
is about 3 years, so having them on hold for another 2 weeks is at least in my
shop no sacrifice at all.

that if i sent an invoice and three days later i start the NPB then there is
still 3 days to complete it wich makes a total of 6 days to recieve a payment.
This should be enough to recieve the payment.
In most cases the NPB will be started much later.
Canceling the order is not a good option as you can still get a neutral or negative
FB from the so called buyer....
It's definitely not about the money, its just the time to t takes to get
your part available again.
An examplle is an order i got,
Sent invoice and no reply or payment for more then a week.
Started NPB and within a day the buyer replied to it telling shipping was to
high...revolving in an extra 7 days before i could cmpl the NPB.....

This time it is Jeremybryan , regitered on August 11 and placing the order within
10 minutes.
Never logged in since and as said above no reaction on invoice, message or email...
I started and will cmpl the NPB incl a negative Feedback.
Only bad thing is that within the system the parts are stuck for a min of two
weeks.....even three weeks if he/she reply's to the NPB with a "bogus" message.
In my eyes this procedure should be a lot shorter,
My suggestion would be:
-Make starting the NPB possible after 3 days instead of 7!
-Make completing he NPB possible after 3 days of starting it.
-If buyer reply's to the NPB within the three days then make completing it
possible 3 days after that.
This way the parts are not stuck so long.
It's especially annoying wenn the new buyer doesnt log in inbetween the order
and the completion of the NPB.
It's a cmpl waste of time.

I sympathise with the problem but voted no. In this specific case I can see the
logic but there are other cases where this would not be appropriate and the buyer
could be "abused". We have some sellers here who take more than 3 days to send
an invoice! What I would agree though is that if a buyer responds to an NPB (but
still doesn't pay) then the 2 week limit for the seller completing the NPB
should be reduced to one week, just as for cases where the buyer does not respond.

If i as a seller sent the invoice and start the NPB three days later the buyer
still has 3 days to reply on the NPB. The total of days to recieve the payment
then is 6 days.
This is more then enough for any payment or reply to the seller that the payment
is made.

Less than 10% of my NPBs ever result in Payment. Those that do pay have sent
a message apologizing and pay the same day the NPB was started.
Seven days to pay + 3 days after the NPB should be plenty of time.

The NPB is a payment reminder with the intention to get the payment.
Sending payment can take more time than 3 days, for example a bank transfer isn't
proccessed during weekends or holidays or sending a money order or cash is relying
on the Post.
In a worldwide market there's also a day/night difference.
The time between the seller sending an invoice and the buyer seeing it varies
too.
The buyer can always select Cancel the order and accept penalty.
Please note as Seller you can cancel any order anytime anyway, and relist the
items.
You don't need to go through and complete the NPB process if you believe
money is more important than warning others and you can always reply to an unwanted
feedback.
