The "buy wanted lists" feature currently suggests stores that have stop listed
the buyer if the other criteria the buyer uses are all met. This seems pointless.
Why does BL suggest a store that refuses to sell to the customer?

Of course, once I go to the store and find out I am stoplisted, I can least favourite
the store and then exclude least favourited stores from the wants list calculation,
but surely it should automatically exclude stores that refuse to sell to me (just
as I can exclude stores that will not ship to me).

Check the checkbox Exclude stores that stoplisted me

Yes of course we do comment our parts (go see our store) but when customers pass
through a wanted list and ask to see parts available from a store the damaged
parts are not identified before you procees to cart and payment and you have
to verify every items one by one. When you search for a set, you can request
to avoid incomplete sets. What we suggest is the same system that will give customers
the opportunity to skip the parts listed as damaged.

It's possible to search and see only New or Used:

In the same time, the damaged parts will stop having impact on average price of good used parts.
Incomplete sets doesn't affect the average price of sets.

It's possible to de-select the average price:

Hi, we would like you to add a damage tick box under the used condition that
would work like incomplete set tick box. That would avoid that customers buy
damaged parts without knowing it and will level up the average price to what
is should be.

If buyers weren't aware of damage, the part wasn't correctly listed:

Used Parts - Parts which have been previously used and are presumably still
in good, usable condition.
If the parts do show excessive wear, discoloration, excessive scratches, other
marks,etc. this should be noted in the *Comments* field.

Hi, I'm not sure if it's actually a suggestion. It might be already in
place, but I'm just missing it?

I'm unsure if I can see my invoices (both for orders I have placed as for
orders I have sold) in BL. For all I know, they only get sent by email. Which
is kind of annoying, since I have to switch back & forth between the website
and my mailbox to complete orders. E.g. for searching out the IBAN number that
was in the invoice.

Not only that, but sometimes a buyer requests another sending method, which will
alter the price. It would be very useful to have kind of a version history on
the invoices of a single order.

In general, I believe email is fine for notifications, but all data should be
inside BL, including the generated invoices.

If it isn't: it would be very useful to store the invoices.
If it is: can someone tell me where to find them?

Thanks all!
Henri

Invoices for Placed orders are always sent to My Messages.

Here are your sent invoices

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.

Bump.

Dear Admin,

Please communicate with the many new sellers waiting for months to become verified
and clarify how long their New Store Verification process is going to take.

The silence has become painfull and is hurting Bricklinks reputation.

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.

You can click on the words neutral and negative to view only the neutrals or
negatives.
There's already a feedback percentage shown.

Sorry if this has been brought up already or if I have missed something.

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"
list or in the individual order page. Because of this it is easy to miss and
invoice with the items still remaining in the order.

Cheers,

/Patrick

The buyer received a Message and an email about the order, regardless the settings.

Is there a way to delete a wanted list using the new interface? I have some

In the pop up window click the list, scroll down and click on delete.
