| Currently if an order is placed with instant checkout, the order goes into an
in progress state while Bricklink waits for some confirmation of payment from
Paypal. The order stays in that state for 10 minutes according to some other
posts in the forum.
I would like the API to be able to access these orders and the stock that is
tied up on them.
The reason is so that I can get an accurate picture of my inventory even if I
have in progress orders.
After all while the in progress order is there, I still have this inventory on
the shelf, but I don't have an order that it belongs to.
The absence of this feature is the only reason stopping me from turning instant
checkout on.

| We currently have some damaged items in our shop. We offer them at a discount
and some buyers enjoy being able to buy very cheap items for filling purposes,
among others.
We add the fact that the lots are damaged in the description so that people know
what they're buying. The problem is that when going through a wish list,
bricklink will select those items seeing as they're cheaper and some buyers
understandably don't want to buy damaged items.
Would there be interest in the community to ask bricklink to add a tick box for
'damaged' when used is selected? This would benefit all involved, buyers
could simply select a tick box to identify damaged items and buyers could choose
whether they want to have damaged items taken in account for a wishlist.
If there is another solution that currently exists, we're obviously interested!
Right now we're at the point where we're wondering if we should open
a second store for just damaged items but that would involve a lot more work
on our part and we're not sure if it would be allowed by bricklink.

| I don't know if this applies to all sellers but I rarely list my entire inventory
for any individual minifig part all at the same time mainly because whenever
I've done this in the past there usally comes a point when someone will buy
out all your stock in one go however many hundreds of the same part you might
have!
This is usually because you've dropped your guard and are suddenly selling
well below the BL average for the current price/demand and of course at that
point its too late for you to adjust your pricing to fit in line with current
market value. The other thing is I like to hold back stock for future minifig
builds as there's nothing worse than having to buy back minifig parts at
double or even tripple the price you once sold them for yourself!
Anyway getting to the point....
This can mean that with the smaller amounts I list in my store at any one time
I can unknowingly sell out of a part for weeks or months at a time before I even
notice and remember to replensih my store inventory again which is not good for
buyers, not good for BL and certainly not good for me!
Therefore I can't help but wonder whether BL should implement a similar system
to Brickowl where as your picking your order you can also see exactly how many
you will have left in your store thereby allowing you to easily re-adjust your
inventory as you go?
Even ebay has now implemented this feature as I think they also recognise that
this helps prompt sellers to replenish or re-purchase stocks before selling out!
I've also noticed that many other BL sellers try to get around this problem
by creating 4 or 5 listings for the same part all with varyig prices so that
as they sell out at the cheapest price they still have the same item listed at
higher prices but this just creates clutter and makes shopping with these sellers
very frustrating as you end up having to search through quadruple the number
of pages seeing the same items come up again and again!
Really not sure why Sellers do this as its not good for business and I've
quite often found myself having to give up with browsing any further through
their stores.
Does anyone share a similar view on this or perhaps theres a different way around
this that I'm missing?

| TL;DR: Please display the seller's positive/negative feedback ratio next
to the store name, instead of a flat feedback count.
----
(My other post goes into too much detail, so I'm pulling out my actual suggestion
into another post.)
I recently purchased from a seller who is now suspended. It turns out, there
were warning signs buried in his feedback about three or four pages back, but
most of his feedback was positive.
I realized after this experience that there is no indication about the seller's
positive or negative ratings, like there is on eBay or Amazon.
There is a number which can indicate the feedback count, but this is not helpful.
If instead of a flat number, it indicates the amount of positive/negative feedback,
I would have dug deeper into the seller's feedback. At least I would have
known that this seller was a risk, and there was a 1 in 50 chance he'll take
3 weeks before he ships.

I (seller) currently have an order with pending item removal requests that I
have made to the order. There is no indication of this in either the "Order Received"

invoice with the items still remaining in the order.

| Sometimes one negative feedback is just not enough, especially when you've
been thoroughly abused and belittled by a seller.
I made a big (for me) purchase from a seller - 1288 pcs in 61 lots.
The seller didn't do anything about, act on it, nothing, until a whole week
when I asked him about it. He said he will pack it in a few days and will ship
it the following week. That's two weeks after I paid for it.
The week after, I followed up on it again.
He said he's working on "all orders as we speak" and again promised shipping
it by the end of that week.
I waited again (this was over two weeks from payment), and still no movement.
In the meantime, he kept getting positive reviews multiple times a day from other
buyers.
This means he's been processing and shipping everyone else's orders,
but deliberately ignoring mine.
Day after day.
For over two weeks.
On week 3, I messaged him again.
This time he said he was packing it that day.
At the end of the day, I followed up again, he said he will mail it the day after.
Over three weeks after payment before he shipped my order, and only after I followed
up with him 4 times.
Just to add icing to the cake, the shipment was missing 83 pieces across 8 lots.
After all this, the most I can give him is one lousy negative review, severely
limited by the number of characters, to be drowned out by all the other customers
he dutifully served while persistently and consistently ignoring mine.
It's just nowhere near proportional to the treatment I got.

I would like to suggest adding an order "total volume" along with order total

This would go a long way to helping decide what size box is needed and help with

| I think all extra charges should be eliminated, altogether. its not right, you
post how much you want for the piece, you don't pay for shipping the buyer
does, and in most cases its over inflated, but thats not good enough the seller
controls it all.
its stealing.I am a buyer and a seller, so i do know what im saying.something
should be done about it.if nothing else you should have it posted in bold type
next to your name, that way you can chose to move on to a honest seller. other
sites like this one don't allow it

| I think it should be required that sellers who smoke must post a prominent note
in their store.
Or if sellers who do not smoke sell parts that smell of smoke, that should be
listed on the part.
Getting parts that smell of smoke requires a lot of work by the buyer to remove
the odor, and we should know what we are getting into before buying. Not to mention
that when a seller does not disclose that they are a smoker, they are basically
lying about the condition of the parts.
I am really tired of getting stinky parts.
Sure, some sellers might be tempted to lie about about it, but users would complain.
Then sellers who smoke and fail to disclose their smoking should be treated with
the warning/termination policy applied to buying/selling offences.

I've spent only a few minutes searching the history of the easily-missed
coupon application field in step 2 of the checkout process (as opposed to however
thorough a member should be in researching forum-documented problems in the hopes
of finding administrative responses).
It seems all such topics have been discarded, even the one to which administrators

| Author: | Cob | | Posted: | Jan 18, 2018 17:28 | | Subject: | Superlot Pricing Suggestion | | Viewed: | 65 times | | Topic: | Suggestions | | Status: | Open | | Vote: | [Yes|No] | |
| Here is my suggestion for superlots and how to value the items in a superlot.
Hopefully what I am suggesting makes sense and I explain my suggestion so that
it is understood.
Instead of having the seller price each item in a superlot instead have the seller
set the price for the entire superlot and then BrickLink will assign the price
of each item based on the average selling price of the item at the time the superlot
is listed.
If the seller wants to change the price of the superlot either change the individual
part prices prorata to their original listed price or reprice the items in the
superlot based on the then current average selling price.
I have prepared an example based on a few price points for a superlot. In the
example I have three different price points for the superlot, one close to average
price, one below and one above. The selling price per item changes relative
to the price of the superlot.
This will prevent the possibility of price manipulation for individual items
(selling 9 items for 0.01 and selling the 10th item for 30.00)
I think it makes sense for the seller to price only the superlot instead of individual
pieces as they are likely selling a build, set, or collectible series and
they would like to sell everything for a specific value they aren't thinking
that they want to sell "part 1" for 3.00 and "part 2" for 0.10, they are thinking
"I would like to sell my build for 30.00".
Anyway, I'm sure I lot of people will not like this thought/suggestion, but
that is my suggestion.

| When trying to place an order and redeem a coupon for more than the dollar amount
of the order there are a couple of problems.
1. You still have to choose a payment method even though you owe $0. PayPal onsite
cannot be chosen or there will be an error because you owe $0
2. If I choose PayPal (Offsite) it still sends me an invoice with a negative
amount, because the coupon was more than the order.
3. You cannot choose to save the rest of the coupon, instead it is redeemed to
the negative balance you owe.
Please fix these.

I even put the feedback that is less than 100% in red as a warning.
Which by the way, I don't understand the point of the colored brick, yes

| Instant checkout is great and I am glad we have it now. However, the interface
side of things is still a drama for me. Sometimes someone helps me out sorting
orders, and I found that I'm unable to explain which orders need to be sorted,
since the new system.
"Sort all order that are 'pending' and updated and do not have the grand
total in bold, AND the ones that are 'ready' ONLY when the grand total
IS bold, AND the ones that are 'paid', unless they have already been
sorted or are being sorted'
I have to explain it over and over and we keep ending up with double sorted orders
sometime. Things used to be easy. pending = sort. updated = sort. ready = sorted.
I can compensate some of it by manually changing the status of the orders to
make it clearer what's to be done, yes, that solves part of it. It is just
that it is a bit more mistake-prone than the old system and I have to frown a
little harder to see what's up with the shop than I used to. The inconvenience
is not massive but it is one that persists day after day, and it is an unnecessary
one. Therefore, I think something should change.
I wish that either option of these would be implemented:
1. Do not auto change the status of orders to "ready" when instant checkout is
being used. Let sellers use this to indicate the order really IS ready. All received
orders are always "pending". (And while we're at it, better yet: Do not send
invoices automatically. The majority of webstores I know do not do this. BO also
does not do this. Please let me make my invoices manually. The ones Bricklink
generates are a redundant mix of payment instruction and order confirmation,
both of which already exist)
2. Add a check or other object to indicate SORT and SORTED. How about a red square
meaning SORT that appears by default when the order is placed (paid or not paid),
green when you tap it once meaning SORTED, and orange when tapped again meaning
DO NOT SORT for whatever reason.
I am aware you can split payment and order status. However, my screen is already
too wide as it is, and it involves alot more clicking. Also, I do not want another
status in the list. Just some way purely for the seller's side to have clear
administration about their tasks.

| For administrators,
Why don't My Store Shopping Settings hold permanently?
Under BrickLink 1.0, I set my desired shopping settings once, and
they were applied to all open store pages (i.e. tabs) whenever logged in, and
I was done until the end of time ... or under the circumstances until the roll
out of BrickLink 2.0.
Under BrickLink 2.0, desired shopping settings have to be continually
reset for new logged-in sessions, and during individual logged-in sessions, and
under numerous store tabs. All of this effort is required despite BrickLink's
present and inaccurate claims on the My Store Shopping Settings page/window/pop-up.
Please explain why you are unable to provide community members with this 1.0
service level, which has been absent for a year and a half.
Sincerely, Matthew

| Dear all,
We want to make a suggestion to improve the Bricklink catalog.
Every now and then, we receive request from our customers about parts that exist
with different variations, e.g.:
We are asked to explain the differences between the variation. Most of the time,
our customers don’t care about the variation at the end of the day. However,
they have to check all different varieties, e.g. to look for the lowest price.
Based on this issue, we would like propose to list all items with different variations
under the undetermined entry in addition to the entry of the variation.
Example: The part 553a would be listed under the entry of 553a and automatically
the entry of 553.
By following our suggestions, people who do not care about the variation could
simply look in the undetermined entry. Bricklink would thus be a bit user-friendly.
At the same time, people who care about a specific variation could still search
for it.
We hope you like our suggestion.
Don’t hesitate to ask if you have any questions.
Have a nice Christmas!
Cheers,
Wanja from MagicMagnus

| When I receive messages from members that have been generated via the Contact
Form, my instinct is to hit the 'reply' button and then proceed providing
a response to whatever question has been posed. THis is the way every other email
or messaging system I have ever encountered works.
But doing so yields an unpleasant surprise: my response is sent to a black hole
instead of the actual sending party.
I (now) know that the member address can be found in the body of the email, but
two things:
1 - Would I ever really want to reply to 'blservice@bricklink.com'? (No)
2 - Replying on a mobile device where copying text segments (the email address)
isn't very easy makes this situation worse
I can't think of any good reason that the sending member's address ISN'T
the one provided upon receipt and would respectfully suggest that it be changed.

| When I view instructions in my inventory list, the title is prefixed with
' (Instructions) for Set ' ....
I think it would be helpful if this was done in shop listings, as currently the
only indication that the listing is for just the instructions (apart, possibly,
from a very low price) is buried within the breadcrumb hierarcy of categories
below the listing, where it follows the words 'All Items', which to a
newcomer to bricklink could be taken at first glance to mean all items in the
set.
Otherwise the listing reads exactly the same as one for the whole set.
This has caused me to double-take on a listing on more than one occasion whilst
browsing shops.

| Sine the rollout of Instant checkout and various updates there have been a number
of posts regarding the templates BL are forcing users to use.
Would it not be a better idea for the number of templates to be increased so
the stores can have their own choice of how they want it organised and addressed.
This is a simple code change for the programmers and allow some more flexibility
for the stores in addressing the various issues e.g. IBAN and bank details; etc.
Just a thought

Can you implement the search filter for email notifications?
For example, can I limit wanted item notifications to stores in my own region

| Hi BrickLink. Id like to make suggestions. BrickLink should enable cart jump(
as in viewing each cart from different store without having to return to home
screen),Or is there anyway to change my current settings?
I wish BL should add up search option for S&H (stores that states total S&H/flat
without us asking the seller) and stores on sale. So that its easier for budget
planning.
And Other than that, you guys are awesome! I love BrickLink. Ill keep coming
back i promise!

| Could we *please* be allowed a different minimum purchase setting for international
orders? Maybe even different lot limits
I don't mind small orders ($2+) in the USA, but international orders are
such a pain that I dread anything under $40. Now the customs forms are a minor
hassle, but buyers often don't understand English well, are annoyed at me
over the sky-high USPS rates (as if I can change them), and if I make a mistake
and have to ship a missing part, it costs a fortune.
I don't want to shut off international sales altogether because international
resellers place orders I love. But orders where the postage costs more than
the parts just aren't worth it.

| I'm looking through the active listings for used Star Wars sets to price
some items I am adding to my inventory. Every single one I found someone listing
the set as "complete" but in the comments describing the pieces or minifigs that
are missing.
The price guide is really valuable here, as is creating a quality shopping experience
for customers (many of which are brand new to Bricklink).
Sometimes I will send a note to the store owner and ask them to correct, although
it is a lot of work to do it every time and I certainly am not going to follow
up.
I would suggest that BL scan through the comments on used set listings and look
for ones listed as complete with the word "missing" in the comments. Then send
an robo-email to the store owner and bring it to their attention.
... also I think check boxes when adding sets to inventory for "instructions"
"box" "stickers" "minifigures" would be useful but that would take actual programming
and I doubt there are resources for that.

| Admin please complete the Store verification procedure completely and confirm
to the new sellers.
Daily new sellers complain about the lack of communication of BrickLink customer
service.
In the forum they read it's normal the Verification process takes about 6
weeks.
Many discover they CAN be accessed via the bypass password.
They're not open regularly because Bricklink didn't apply all settings
correctly in the Verification process.
This long and incompleted process is hurting Bricklinks reputation and business,
because the items in these stores don't come up in searches.
We want scammers stopped not a discouraging process for normal people.
Admin,
Please complete every setting of the process and confirm once the process is
completed to these new sellers.
Thank you.
