The Bricklink catalogue has the perfect base for this change but it is a question
of whether the developers feel they can do it with minimum effort. Each item
in the catalogue has a PCC as well as its mould or design id number associated
with it. The PCC code is Lego's element id and it is what they print in their
instructions.

There have been lots of comments both in and out of the forum concerning part
weights and how there is a variance between colours of the same part number.
We have also experienced this. The simple way to deal with this is to add a weight
field against the PCC in the catalogue. This would allow the system to hold the
individual weights for each colour part and could be used to more accurately
provide cart weights for instant checkout when it comes out of preview.

This should resolve the issue of scammers joining BrickLink merely to post spam
in the forum.

Yet another +1

  I think it would be very useful to be able to have separate email addresses for
your buying and selling activities.

I operate a store but also have wanted lists and buy from time to time and being
able to separate the various emails to different addresses would be helpful.

e.g.

To the "Buying" email address:

Any messages regarding orders you placed e.g. Invoices etc.
Wanted list notifications

To the "Selling" email address:

Any messages regarding orders received e.g. invoices, payments
Emails about Fees

Perhaps there could even be a configuration page for users to select which emails
they would like to go to which address?

Yes you can probably achieve this with filters on your email client if on a PC
but not sure about phones and other devices.

Thanks,
Steve

Voted yes but I think this needs to be expanded. Holding multiple address records
has its problems but it really is the only way to go. We, as a store, have 2
distinct locations - one for our storage/picking centre and one for order processing.
If Bricklink allowed us to hold multiple addresses ((including e-mail addresses)
it would make life much easier, There are issues with doing that but most organisations
have overcome those and I am sure BL can do the same.

  The current XML order download allows you to get member ID or real name. It does
not include address/city/state/country. Please add those fields.

I recently had someone write me a Python script which retrieves this data from
the api. Feel free to send me a message if you're interested!

We also had a development done using Brickstock which provides address detail
of the member placing an order. If you use Brickstock we can send that on.

  I think it would be helpful to have a field on the order summary for Tracking
Number that can be entered by the seller. It is something that applies to a considerable
amount of transactions, yet currently requires either duplication (update messages)
or clunky work arounds (using the VAT field for example). If it does not apply,
it can be left blank.


Already exists - see image below - it is on your 'Customize display settings
from the orders received page - put a tick in the box it adds the column which
once you fill it out the tracking number appears on the order and the order summary
page.

Hope that helps.
