Pls add item code link on cart list.

This feature was available in previous versions.

This helps in reviewing cart items.

I have mentioned it before but it seems it would work even better now with the
New chckout layout

I know we are not eBay or amazon, but the checkout now is simular and it would
be good for items you are not ready to buy in the current order but would like
to buy in the future. (Obviously if the seller still has it)

When you remove an item from your basket currently, you would have to find the
shop/item again, search again the store to find the item and add it again to
your basket.

Id rather it just be saved

As there is almost constant changes going on in the catalogue stores need more
features to ensure they are up to date. For example - we received orders over
the weekends for many of our
 
Part No: 3794  Name: Plate, Modified 1 x 2 with 1 Stud, Jumper (Undetermined Type)
* 
3794 Plate, Modified 1 x 2 with 1 Stud, Jumper (Undetermined Type)
Parts: Plate, Modified
pieces which of course have been changed
to
 
Part No: 3794a  Name: Plate, Modified 1 x 2 with 1 Stud without Groove (Jumper)
* 
3794a Plate, Modified 1 x 2 with 1 Stud without Groove (Jumper)
Parts: Plate, Modified
. I had to go to my inventory page for the part and change each and
everyone of these from 3794 to 3794a, That 'dropped 4 or 5 small images -
(we will re-do those photos and submit) but they had photos before we changed
them from 3794 to 3794a.Hmmmm

It is a very simple select and update query in SQL - surely one of the developers
can put together a screen to allow us to update multiple items in our inventory
at once. We are in the dark ages here really.

In addition I noticed yet another quirk which is simple enough to sort out but
untouched

We hold bulk amounts for many standard items (in the thousands of each of them)
and decided to set up a tiered pricing schedule for each of those taking 1p off
at each quantity break. Fine - it was still a manual exercise for over 100 items
but we went through that - only to find that we either had to repeat this each
time we added to that part or we would lose that tiered pricing. The options
on consolidate are far too limited. We need at least another method of new price
and retain old tiered pricing.

Neither of these changes require huge amounts of time or development effort but
both have needed doing for some time.

It may be a question of priorities or design or ????? but surely such simple
mods can be dealt with quickly and efficiently.

It does get exasperating sometimes. And Brickstock will not allow you to make
these changes offline and upload them either. We have tried that and failed.
We have also advised Patrick but he has gone missing at present.

Come on Bricklink - the stores need their tools (just like buyers, if not more
so)

I have no real personal reason to be posting this suggestion and haven't
thought about what it would mean for my own business, but just something I want
to throw out there as I've been thinking about it for a while.

Why not separate professional sellers and private sellers? I mean with an icon,
a label, a colour, something like that. Right now there are private persons just
getting rid of some old parts they aren't using, and online stores that use
Bricklink as their platform. An entirely different world in every aspect, but
they will show up in exactly the same way.

For years and years there's this eternal clash going on between buyers and
sellers and it seems like they sometimes speak different languages when the buyers
demand "their rights" and the seller has no idea what they're talking about.
Much if not most of the grief going on on Bricklink may be caused by buyers buying
from private sellers and expecting business service. The main example I can think
of now is about whose problem it is when a package is lost, but also tax and
refund issues get confusing if it's unclear whether we're talking about
two people trading or about consumer rights.

So how about labels for private sellers and professional sellers?

Quit marking orders that the buyer checks out using instant checkout as "ready".


Here is the definition of Ready.

https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=41

Ready - Items in order verified, shipping or any additional costs added. Seller
sends an Invoice to the buyer.

It is not possible for BrickLink to verify the items in the order, therefore
the order cannot be marked ready.

Thank you,
Cob

I'm starting to get really frustrated now with Bricklink. Maybe you'll
reply?

Is the quote function broken? I had a quote come in 5 days ago and I had no notification
or anything regarding it. I only knew because the buyer messaged me last night.
This is not acceptable.

Your site has duplicated lots on numerous occasions, this is not acceptable.

Also on numerous occasions I've had customers tell me that they cannot checkout
after ironing out potential issues I have found out it's the site, not me.
I've lost money to this and again, this is not acceptable.

Most things you post are vague from every angle and you sit in the shadows whilst
everyone is up in question. Regardless of if the feedback is good or bad you
still push out the garbage updates anyway. This is not acceptable.

Your site is very slow at times and it's getting more and more frustrating
when trying to work. All of a sudden the site will grind to a standstill. This
is not acceptable.

Your ability to inventory used Lego is appalling. Why not work on this rather
than Brickarms? that's right. Money. If it won't make you money then
you won't bother. This is not acceptable.

I sell on BrickOwl too and I've never had a single issue. You may be the
market leaders currently but your cockyness will catch up with you soon. I pay
my monthly fees on time every time and this is the mess I have to work with?
Can't it just 'work'? Why is everything difficult and half made?
Not acceptable. I'm tired of apologising to customers because of the issues
on this site. I dread to think how many people have turned away from my store
and not said anything.

I'm just frustrated and the quote issue lastnight was the tipping point for
me. Fix your site.

I'm aware there's trolls on here so please keep your witty comments to
yourself.

Thanks
Reece

As someone often buys pieces for a project in progress, I wanted to suggest that
the search feature allow you to filter by local sellers. This typically provides
a faster delivery, including occasions where I have been able to meet someone
nearby the same day.

In my opinion, icons that accurately represent functionality are a key part in
having a good interface. It has come to my attention that the icon of the Community
tab is outdated and needs improvement. Briklink has changed alot and the smiley
face simply does not suit a modern Bricklink where a forum is intended for poorly
informing the community of unwanted selfish business decisions only to ignore
the responses.

I've designed a better icon for this tab. Hope to see this implemented soon!

I am sure there are lots of sellers who are waiting to see what enhancements
Bricklink as and when the finally release the sellers tools they hafve talked
about..

We would like to see a small modification done now to help on the 'add inventory
screens'. This would take a programmer less than an hour to accomplish and
it would aid most sellers.

When you manually add an item to your inventory you can do it in one of several
ways. When you go this route some things, which are important are missing.

From the main catalogue page for any given part choose Add to my inventory. This
takes you to the add inventory page and fills in some of the details for you
e.g. part no; colour etc, leaving you to add the quantity, price, condition and
any remarks you wish to make. You then click on the review item button at the
bottom and it takes you to the review item page where you do not see all the
relevant information No part no - no remarks. How can you really review the information
if it isn't all presented to review. Good memory? Maybe if you are only doing
the odd one, but if you are using this in anger it would be very helpful if the
review item page had the part no on it as well as the remarks field.

A similar situation occurs with the mass inventory upload. Once you paste your
xml file into the window you choose verify and all the parts in that file are
listed but instead of displaying the part nos for the items it drops them off
despite being in the xml upload.

Again a very minor programming job which would aid the sellers.

Think about it Bricklink. Make the site easier for us to use.

See images attached.

Hello,

Although Bricklink is an America-based website, is serves a worldwide audiance
now.

My store is base in the Netherlands and I modified the emails from Bricklink
(like the invoice etc.). Now people get these bi-lingual. (Dutch and English)
The only way to make them uni-lingual again is by deleting the non-desired language-text.

It might be an idea to extend the 'List of E-Mail Conditional Block Macro
Tags' with a language-tag. When poeple prefer the text in Dutch, they can
get the Dutch-tekst, if the shop-owner provides it.

If this system is implemented, there should also be a default-tag for the text
that is to be used, if the desired language is not specified in the mail.

This will contribute to a better user-experiance.

As a web-developer, I realize that this is not easely implemented. But it might
be an idea to keep in mind for a next version of Bricklink.

With kind regards,
Carel ten Hove
Fricatho

Hello,

A couple weeks ago when I had close to ten carts and tabs open (in addition to
several other non-BrickLink tabs), I found the miniature store logos in the tabs
to be very helpful for quick navigation to pertinent shops. (And I consequently
made my own quick logo for shoppers.)

As of about a week ago however, all tabs, including stores, now have the BrickLink
standard logo.

I don't know if this lost distinction is the result of a BrickLink site change
or something else. I use Windows 7 and Firefox 58 by the way.

Thanks for your time, Matthew

Hi,

Please make My Note On User notes an icon-hover-view-note option when visiting
a particular store, placed in the upper-right screen corner with the other small
icons, in order to allow customers to easily review any past notes on a particular
store they are visiting.

Recommend using the red push-pin icon as seen in Orders Placed and wherever else,
and recommend allowing for two or three push-pin color options, instead of just
red.

Thank you for your time, Matthew

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).

Hello,

The subject problem, or new shortfall, has been going on since the roll-out of
BrickLink 2.0.

When conducting an inventory search using the top-center field on each BrickLink
page, for example a search on "dark bluish gray wedge plate" as pictured, the
color gets dropped from the top-center field once the search results are posted.

This behavior is unlike a store search or Items-For-Sale parts search, where
the color is retained in the search field for possible follow-on searches using
the same color, a highly likely circumstance for many projects.

It would be nice if the color were also retained in the top-center field, given
the likelihood that a user will search their inventory for a different part of
the same color.

This desired trait or attribute or whatever term applies, would alleviate the
need to repeatedly type things like "dark bluish gray" under 2.0, just as it
did under 1.0.

Sincerely, Matthew

Hello,

My pc needed a memory clearing and restart. Then with a goal of reopening my
present carts in individual tabs, I landed on the new (global) My Store Carts
page.

In the recent past, right-clicking on each listed store name with cart items
allowed me to quickly open a new tab for each different cart. From there, I
could continue to check for and verify parts in each store from tab to tab while
progressing on a rough build design. (I tend to search stores for common items,
and use the Wanted List for less-common ones, since the start-to-finish Wanted
List process is more cumbersome than simply shopping, and since numerous varying
parts are needed to ensure builds work, are solid, and are in desired colors.)

Now I can no longer open new tabs from the My Store Carts page (nor is it possible
from upper-right cart icon drop-down store options, btw). Furthermore after
clicking on View Cart, a new cart page shows up which is vague on how to shop
in the store associated with the new cart page. (This vagueness is different
than the weird "Search in this store" claim made in the store search field --
weird because it's inaccurate when confined to Wanted List items. However
I am reminded of it, since the similarity is that I don't see how newcomers
are supposed to figure out such unclear or absent navigation information.)

Back to the topic:

Prior steps from prior store carts summary page:
1. Right click on store name;
2. Open store cart in new tab

New and maybe "improved" steps since the above process is now not possible from
the My Store Carts page:
1. Open new tab;
2. Type or Copy & Paste "bricklink.com" into address field;
3. Hover over cart icon and click on View Cart in the drop-down options (By
the way, this generates a new page in which the pertinent store name is not readily
evident in the tab when multiple tabs are open. Instead this tab-name space
is now primarily taken up with the less informative word "BrickLink".);
4. In lieu of having a clear option to continue shopping on the newly opened
page, click on the store name to see what happens -- store shopping page
opens

So assuming one does not want to see the different and more familiar shopping
cart view from the shopping page (i.e. Step 5), the new process is twice as long
as the one which existed a few days ago. (And it involves the creation of a
wholly new alternate shopping cart page, which is interesting.)

In and of itself the above comparison shows only two added steps. However cumulatively
over the course of a project and over months, it adds hundreds and thousands
of new steps to individual shopping, and for the community I guess millions or
billions of newly required user steps are added. And such additions are the
norm, which is now not-so-surprisingly accepted by BrickLink the company.

In short, many visualizations have been spread out and many new process steps
added -- these are the two overarching design elements of BrickLink 2.0,
with some but few exceptions. And some processes get broken along the way and
seemingly left in the dust to never be repaired (e.g. My Store Shopping Settings
... more hundreds, thousands, millions, and possibly billions of added navigation
steps ... to now do this formerly-once task over and over and over again).

I suggest that BrickLink (a) never make previous processes longer; (b) stop spreading
out data to minimize customers' need to scroll and page; and (c) focus on
repairing existing problems in lieu of new page roll-outs.

Sincerely, Matthew

Hello,

I have noticed several times that the shopping cart is not working properly when
the cart icon is located at the top right browser window. For some reason the
"View Cart" button is hidden and I have no access to jump directly to the shopping
cart of the corresponding brick shop owner.

The cart works with the centered page layout, however when the cart icon is fixed
to the top right browser window, the "View Cart" button is hidden.

Is there a chance to improve this?

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.

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!

To Admin/Development

The order download feature is clumsy and nor set out to work in today's IT
environment. Please bring it up to date and provide choice for which columns
that the user wishes to download. Choosing include details is insufficient. More
people would use this feature if the flexibility in design was improved.

Bring the formats up to date as well as even Excel 2010 is unhappy with the MS
excel download. Stop combining the colour field with the description field etc.,
etc etc.

If improvements here are planned for sellers tools, please let us know and provide
an anticipated delivery date for that. We want to download our orders into our
off-line system and at present this is a totally manual exercise.

Those of us who use off-line systems need more flexibility to deal with data
from Bricklink.

We haven't pout this as a suggestion cause quite honestly we do not feel
that route works very well at all.

Hello,
I wonder if it would be useful to have an automated notification option for new
items available for sale, that have not been sold on Bricklink before (newly
released set or previously unsold brick or minifigure). I am not sure if such
cases can be dealt with via the wishlist tool.
Thank you and sorry if I missed something obvious.

Hello,

I thought of a suggestion for the shopping cart:

Let's say you're ordering off a wanted list that gets broken up into
4 orders. So you've got 4 carts full of items.

What if... there was a button that could compare the items in your 4 carts against
the other cart's stores to see if the other stores have those items for cheaper.
Then you could have the option to adjust quantities in the carts and buy from
the other seller. I sometimes manually do this.. but it's kind of hard and
time consuming.

For example say you need 5 4x4 plates. And you have them in Cart #1 @ $0.35 each.
But after running the tool it is found that Cart #2's shop has 2 of those
4x4 plates for $0.15 each. Then you could adjust the quantities of cart #1 to
be 3 and then add the 2 @ $0.15 from the cart #2.

Does that make sense? I could explain it better if needed. I love all the tools
bricklink has that make getting the best price possible. I think this would be
a nice feature that would even further help.

Also... I'm a programmer. So if you need to me to implement this feature.
I'll do it. I've got some other ideas too..

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.

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,

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.

Hi All,

I would like to suggest adding an order "total volume" along with order total
weight that is listed at the bottom of the order summary.

This would go a long way to helping decide what size box is needed and help with
checking/figuring out boxes for instant checkout.

Thanx,

Milissa

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.

Hi,

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
have directed members. Yet this old and well documented issue remains.

I do not understand the new BrickLink.

Have a good one, Matthew

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.

Cob

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.

Can we plz have a function for testing our settings.

I have been setting my shipping and have to ask in the forum if i did it correct!

Had the same with the quote function!

Of course there is always a helpfull person but still.

There are two options,

1 a button for testing that shows the result in a screen.
2 the possibility to step further wenn you place an order in your own shop, it
can still be set that you cant make the order final.
Now you cant even go to checkout!

Thx for looking into this,

I'd like to propose that the 'Clearing' payment status text colour
be changed to #FF4500 (same as 'Processing' order status colour) to make
it clearly distinguishable from the 'Received' payment status?

This would be particularly useful when Paypal Echeques are received.

In My Order Settings - Order Details Settings, it would be useful to be able
to sort order received items by:

Condition, Item No, Color name

This would make pulling an order a lot easier in our case as inventory is separated

Instead or addition to showing the colored brick, Show the percent of positive
feedback in the item listing so I don't have to go to the store and look
at is there.

Here is an example, my numbers are random and not the persons actual feedback.
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
I understand it relates to the amount of feedback but I can see that one persons
feedback is large and one is smaller.

Thanks,
Zack

I would like to use display the payment method on my orders page, however the
name is just simply too long.

Can we use short names for the payment method. Currently for example Stripe
is displayed as "Credit/Debit (Powered by Stripe)". Can it simply be called "Stripe".

It would be even better if we had to option to display the micro tag number,
example
27 = PayPal Onsite
26 = Stripe

Thank you,
Cob

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

You need to show in status layers informations about the whole activities of
the account owner :

ID : when the mouse is over, you should show the total number of commands done
or received...

Date : when the mouse is over, you should indicate the date of first command
and date of last command, and informations about regularity of commands...

Seller/Buyer : when the mouse is over, you should indicate the total number of
sellers/buyers and the average commands done with indication of maximum (32 commands
by this shop) and 1 command to 42 shops among the 52 shops used...

Items/Lots : when the mouse is over, you should indicate all lots received and
number of items received, and informations about those in shop and those owned
in wishing lists...

Ship. : when the mouse is over, you should indicate the total fees paid for delivery
(=== wastings, compared to Mail Direct International PSC...)

Insur. : when the mouse is over you should indicate the total amount wasted for
insurance fees and the use of such service when problems occured! (=== wastings,
compared to Bill !T by use of EJFJ Contexual Computing for retribution of any
useful act...)

Chrg. : when the mouse is over you should indicate the total amount of charges
paid, and indication if this is above or lower to what other bricklink.com users
pay...

Credit : when the mouse is over you should indicate the total amount owned by
other shops and the number of concerned shops, with the maximum due by some of
them and the minimum amount due, and you should indicate the pieces they own
from wishing lists and coupons available and special promotions made by these
shops!!! Read after, for letting the user being able to click on links to open
the shop in a new panel...

Order Total : when the mouse is over you should indicate the total amount paid
for the pieces in all commands (with of course all those deleted, older than
12 months)...

Grand Total : when the mouse is over you should indicate the total amount paid
for all bricklink users/partners services and an evaluation of the position of
the member according to other members...

Pmt In : when the mouse is over you should indicate the number of currencires
used, and the paiement methods used

Status : when the mouse is over you should indicate how many commands were done,
how many are completed (delivered and finalized), and how many are still not
delivered, and how many need to be paid, how many need to be prepared, ...

Changed : I do not know what can be put there, the date does not reflect anything
accurate without EJFJ Contextual Computing, as you can change this date by changing
the status of the command and restoring the previous status by changing it again
and only the date will be kept changed (mistake)!!!

Feedback Me/Them : when the mouse is over you should indicate how many feedbacks
were done by the user, with comparizon to 100% (hidding that some users do not
evaluate correctly their sellers... With Bill !T this is done automatically,
with price proactive adaptation during 20 years, so no constraint and no risk
for anyone, all benefit of the most effective average!

Paid/Pmt Method : when the mouse is over you should indicate how many commands
are paid and some informations which are more accurate from the Status layer
and from the Pmt In layer...

To improve the efficiency of your website, you should add a first table-row with
all these informations, this should be kept hidden, and when a layer
need to be shown when the mouse enter (onmouseover) the header cell, it take
the content of the hidden row to show only this cell content, and this layer
need to be hidden
onmouseout... But when the member clicks on the table header, the row appears
or disappears, showing all informations of all colums and allowing the member
to click on the link to access the different parts of your website, in a new
panel (target="_blank") allowing the member to get more informations or benefit
of coupons and making new commands... and the informations given in this command
allow him/her to have a global view of what has been done on your bricklink.com
website with positive comparizon compared to other users, allowing them to spare
wastings and use more efficiently your tools... thank you for proceeding immediately
: only the best is legal according to EJFJ Principles http://principles.ejfj.org,
and you should not have anything to do to benefit of this, only if you can make
improvements, for the benefit of all, and not only those who use your website
(illegal partiality, unrespect of EJFJ Equity Principle!).

There is a button reading "Hide Items if Have Qty is ≥ Want Qty" in the wanted
list filtering, but I cannot get this to work. When I tick it and click "Apply"
nothing appears to happen and the button unticks itself.

I used to move all the part with Have Qty = Want Qty to a new wanted list 'Project
purchased' to get a wanted list with only lots of missing parts. Nevertheless
this seems to be a bug. The Checkbox seems to do nothing. It would be really
useful to see those parts missing for a specific project without destroying its
wanted list.

Hello Bricklink Managers,

I'd like to suggest having a feature where you can have a listing of sets/figures/etc
of what you have without having to be a seller. I know this is primarily a buying/selling
site but I feel this would be a cool feature for users to be able to "show off"
or display their collections without having to become a "Seller". Please let
me know what your thoughts are on this.

Thanks and have a happy holiday season!

The Quote function really is painful and only good for postage requests.

For example a buyer requested a quote but one of the items was incorrect. I message
him and inform him and he then submits a second quote for just the item that
he wishes to correct.

Ideally I would have liked to delete the first incorrect item and then combine
both quotes but there is no features at all.

Thanks

I have a new iPad Pro 10.5” running iOS 11.2.1. I just tried to log in for the
first time (on this device) and could not because the login window kept disappearing
when I tried to enter my password. I was in landscape orientation and the keyboard
was in the way, and when I tried to scroll the page up so I could type in the
password box, the login window would close. I finally made it work by rotating
the iPad to portrait orientation.

That scroll attempt also caused other screwups, like the cursor and entered text
not showing up in the data entry box, but below it.

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.:

 
Part No: 553  Name: Brick, Round 2 x 2 Dome Top
* 
553 Brick, Round 2 x 2 Dome Top
Parts: Brick, Round

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

There, apparently is now ay to do this at present.

Can you implement the search filter for email notifications?

For example, can I limit wanted item notifications to stores in my own region

I just had a purchased cancelled after a store did not ship beyond the continental
US. There is no search option for the outlying territories. It would be helpful
to have this as a search option.

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.

Like the subject says, is there an easy way to export a list of parts from a
model in Stud.io into something like Excel? Or even enable copy-pasting between
those two?

Like the tittle says, let's make a vote and show a real number to add to
the long thread of complaints about brickarms.

Since admin seems to only care about numbers, let's show them some of our
own.

Thanks

Hey all,

not sure if this has been posted/mentioned before but has anyone thought of using
discord for a BL type chat server?

it's super easy to set up and join.

I'd be willing to do the set up myself if your all interested.

Many retailers include a tracking code/link in their 'order has shipped'
emails. Can Bricklink do the same?

The site would be a lot easier if it had a responsive design, allowing it to
adjust to the user's screen size/be mobile device friendly. I'd be happy
to help.

While shopping, I would like to see the option to limit my search according to
country.For example, I live in the USA and I don't want to buy outside of
the USA. I would like to be able to search items only in the USA. Thanks.

So now that instant checkout is running I have a lot of repeat customers that
do not use their coupons. Often these customers are the same ones that I need
to remind them about their coupons. However with instant checkout enabled I don't
have any opportunity to tell them to use it before they pay.

Please have them automatically applied to the next order they make in store,
with the option to not use it if they wish to save it for a bigger purchase.

Thanks,

Tyson.

I believe in instant checkout even though I still have a few problems with it
that are still not being addressed. However:

I believe you should know the cost upfront of your cart, fees and shipping before
being obliged to pay.

I recently placed an order and again the fees and extra are so buried within
the terms the parts cost become 34% more! also I was invoiced for the larger
box option, and I know if using the instant checkout the parts would have easily
fit into the smaller letter rate. I read the terms 3 times and still some fees
were still easily missed.

This happens over and over again, its not a one off.


I think it should be mandatory by Bricklink that any seller not using Instant
checkout will

Automatically will have the Quote option enabled.


What is the harm in that?

Every customer can make a decision up front if the fees and postage are reasonable
and acceptable. When im invoiced a total random bunch of fees I am not entered
into the contact agreement before knowing them.

I notice for many months that you annouced wishing to allow wishlist sharing
possibilities, and according to all the needs requested by all type of users,
I propose you the following method, which is very easy and cheap to implement
in the database...

Beside the Wishlist sharing actuator, add a dropbox with the following items
(activate those whoch are useable, from easiest to most complex (last one...)
:

- visibility (give a sharing link like http://sharing.bricklink.com/wishlist767676
and whatever you need but no personal informations, all need to be encrypted
with numbers or letters)
- visibility + global comment (one comment field for all users, and especially
wishlist owner to allow sharing ideas... Only owner can delete part of the comment!
But all those who have the link can add new lines below, signed with their bricklink
identifier/username!)
- visibility + personal comment (comments can be added by anyone, signed with
the bricklink identifier/username of the member, and can be reedited and completed
by the wishlist owner and by the member who has access to the wishlist, this
is like in any shop comment tool...)
- propose item ability (allow the user to propose with his blicklink username
a new item to the list, which need to be accepted by the wishlist owner before
appearing in the wishlist to all others who have access to it...)
- add item ability (allow the user to add an item, signed by his bricklink username,
without confirmation requested by the wishlist owner who can delete it, as any
other item)
- define quantity ability (allow the user to change the quantity of owned items,
if possible with his username so that the wishlist owner can see where the requested
pieces are : make another table with only items id and quantity (not color :
defined in the wishlist owner's database! and no specific information, as
the number of requested items is calculated from the rest of missing items less
the ones already owned by this wishlist user... When any user add some pieces
in the wishlist as found, the amount of such requested pieces is reduced, till
the pieces are given/sold to the wishlist owner...))
- define requested quantity ability (allow the user to change the quantity of
requested items and owned items, if possible with his username so that the wishlist
owner can see where the requested pieces are...)

In all wishlists, add a colour converter, as requested previously : it will be
much easier to change for example all orange pieces in this wishlist by same
blue ones or/and all the yellow ones by red ones, and this step by step with
all sorts of colours! To replace red by black and black by blue, it need to pass
by another coulour so please check that there are no pieces of this coulour in
the set now so that coulour are not all mixed up (very rare colour are perfect
for this, and the special technic pieces stay in the available colour, and the
user should be able to choose if he wants to keep the standard colour for special
technic pieces or use the more expensive personalized ones... and choose how
much he wants for each of them (with + and - buttons beside the number field,
the rest staying in standard black/light blueish grey/... colour))...

Thank you for proceeding, feel free to ask more accurate questions to undertand
better what I tried to explain shortly...

Please, make the “Wanted Items” tab in the Buy page more visible.

The default is on the “Wanted Lists” tab (first pic), which simply lists WLs
and show their fulfillment percentage.

But few know about the second tab, “Wanted Items” (second pic), which allows
to:
— select items individually,
— make them mandatory or not,
— see how many of each a store has,
— know which items haven’t been found / fulfilled in the current list of selected
stores.

My suggestion would be either to make the simple fact there’re tabs more visible
(adding icons or obvious buttons?) or to simply get rid of the simple view (just
add the fulfillement percentage near the WL’s name in the more complete view).

(Already two questions today for which “Wanted Items” was the answer. And several
more in the past weeks.)

I'd like to see an additional package adjustment. Add x weight for each
lot in the order. (I suppose volume could be done too, but weight seems most
important)

If this were available, I would add 0.015 ounces per lot. My estimate of average
baggie weight. (Qty 100 2x2 baggies = 1.5 ounces)

In my experience 14.5 ounces of ABS in one lot will easily ship at the 15.9 ounce
USPS First Class Package rate (US domestic). But 14.0 ounces in 75 lots will
certainly exceed the maximum weight for the USPS Domestic First Class Package.


NOTES: Base weight in this scenario 1.0 ounces for me. #2 bubble mailer, 9x12
baggie, 1 sheet of paper, and one 4x6 thermal label. A 5% weight adjustment
on lot weight would put the 14.5 ounce order as too heavy, while the 14.0 ounce
order is under 16 ounces. Which is the opposite of what I want to happen.

Questions: for US sellers with reliable instant checkout, what base weight
& percentage adjustment are you using today? I don't really care about
14 ounces vs. 15 ounce rate. Just the under/over when there is a large rate
jump.

Dear team,

I would like to propose a small change to the "Mass Feedback Post" functionality.

Situation:
I use the "Mass Feedback Post" function a lot, giving feedback to all customers
once an order is shipped. I use the link on the "orders" page of my store.

Problem:
The "Mass feedback" page lists both orders that were made in my store, as well
as orders made by me in other people's stores. This regularly causes me to
praise stores I bought lego at to be "great buyers" Since it's not possible
to change feedback once posted, I can't give them the feedback I want.

Analysis:
As a User Experience Analist, I often tackle these kind of UX problems. In this
case what a user expects from a funtion (giving feedback to customers) differs
from the actual functionality (giving feedback to all orders that qualify). As
the user is in a customer context, it's strange that the "buying context"
is mixed.

Proposed solution:
There are multiple ways of solving this of course, one of these two should work
best I think:

1. Split the functionality. From the my store orders page, clicking the "mass
feedback" link should list only orders from buyers in your store, not the orders
you placed. From the "my orders" page it should work the other way around fo
course.

2. Divide the screen in two: List all orders in your store first, list orders
you placed below them clearly indicated as a seperate list.

I hope someone recognizes this as a problem as well, and I hope you find this
a valuable suggestion!

Kind regards,

Wouter Slager

Maybe this already exists, but it might be nifty to be able to search for more
than one part at a time to see which store offers the best price for both. Or
more.

Hello together,
as we have been using Instant Checkout for a while now, we want to share some
suggestions for improvements.

One issue we would like to emphasize is that only usernames are noted in Paypal
once an order is placed by using IC. We – and most likely many other Bricklink
Sellers – would highly appreciate if the Order-Id would also be shown in Paypal.
To know the Order-ID is crucial for businesses like us, e.g. when it comes to
taxation issues, where we need to allocate a concrete Order to each payment.
With the current system, we need to do that manually, what requires a lot of
effort which could easily be saved.

Another improvement we would love to see would be to show buyers already in the
shopping cart how much weight they can add without falling in the next higher
category of shipping costs. This would help the buyers to optimize their orders
if they like to.

Furthermore, we are experiencing some rounding errors concerning the VAT of shipping
costs. Currently, the VAT of the shipping costs is constantly rounded up (e.g.
EUR 1.0005 is rounded to EUR 1.01). This is not coherent with the rounding of
the item values which is correctly rounded commercially (e.g. EUR 1.0005 should
is rounded to EUR 1.00). Because of that, it is currently not possible to have
shipping costs of e.g. EUR 5.90 while having the VAT calculated correctly.

Finally, we would appreciate to have the option to hide the item dimensions (but
not the weight) when looking at particular orders. This would make printing orders
more printer-friendly. In this regard, we would also appreciate if the prices
could be rounded to 3 positions after decimal point (e.g. EUR 1.034). The current
rounding to 5 positions after decimal point (e.g. EUR 1.03456) is not useful
from our perspective. The potentially saved space could ideally be used to extend
the space of the item description. Again, this would make an order way more printer-friendly.
Although we know that the issues concerning making order more printer-friendly
are minor points. However, we want to emphasize them so that they might be implemented
in the future.

Thank you very much!

Cheers,
Wanja from MagicMagnus

In the Instant Checkout, Package restriction, please add "Maximum # parts" This
is required in order to ensure that a package is not larger than permitted.
For example, an order of 100 1x1 plates would be fine as lettermail, however
1000 of them would not fit, and thus would need to be shipped as a package.

Thank you for your consideration with this.

Instant checkout is pretty cool, and the BL team even took the trouble for us
to retrieve tables of postage costs from various postal services across the world.
Sweet!

However, the same could be done for payment methods, but currently the system
involves manually enter a percentage fee.

In the EU, it's not allowed to overcharge payment methods. Of course it's
legally allowed to charge anything as long as buyer and seller agree, but it
would be much more neat and more right for Bricklink ethics if there was no ability
to overcharge.

SUGGESTION: Auto-calculate payment method fee instead of allowing manual percentages.

This can be done in exactly the same way the system currently entertains postage
prices. It would be extremely useful, as for example PayPal fee percentages are
difficult to find out, difficult to remember, and difficult to calculate with
manually. This has always been giving sellers a quasi-valid excuse to overcharge
on it.

I hope that in the future custom percentage fees can be abolished entirely.

P.S.: In some countries it is not allowed to charge an additional fee for a payment
method. That's another topic. Bricklink could gray out the option for certain
region/payment method combinations, or simply leave it to the seller's responsibility.
Whatever is legally OK for Bricklink.

P.S.: A next step could be to calculate any percentage fees in the listings automatically.
This can be done by matching a seller's payment options to a buyer's
specified payment options, picking the cheapest, retrieve the fee, and factor
it into search results, into browsing in stores, etc.

I believe it would be very helpful for the collection of statistical data if
the way the search in Find Stores' returned its results was altered to include
a column for Instant checkout enabled/adopted. Use the same Lightning bolt that
is currently being used simply add the column rather than having to go back and
forth betwee the searches - without IC and the 2nd with

The example shown reflects the UK's top 11 stores for no of items. 5 of the
11 have implemented it so far. 6 haven't, for whatever reason.

This would save having to make 2 searches (and less calls on the server) apart
from making it easier to gather the data.

To better adapt order notification and order invoice templates for instant and
non-instant invoices/payments, I suggest an "INSTANT" conditional block macro
tag.

From my point of view, we can improve the communication with our customers and
their shopping experience if the e-mails they receive do not contain unnecessary
or inapplicable information.

Example: We received messages from customers who asked "Why do I receive an invoice
with payment instructions? I already paid!"

Is there any chance of bringing back the option for sellers to select a default
shipping method? Since rolling out Instant Checkout my default method has become
local pickup, (No idea why, certainly not my choice) which would be fine if buyers
actually read the description. I now have orders being paid for on a daily basis
by people living thousands of kilometers away that I then have to go through
the hassle of getting shipping money from.

Please bring back the functionality that allows the "Submit" button to show at

have it grandfathered in, but it is no longer available?

please enlighten me.

Thanks!

Does anyone else think the checkout page needs to be modified? The first option
for store terms "Agree & Continue" makes it seem to the buyer they are agreeing
to commit to the order w/ the shipping option shown as soon as they click on
it. It even says "Items will be reserved for you, and you will obligated to
purchase them.
" right under the Agree & Continue button. This message shouldn't
be displayed until the Place Order button shows up. I would also rather have
the Shipping tab show up first or leave S&H empty until they reach that tab so
the buyer can see all options available.

I would like to suggest that when viewing a set's inventory, an icon be displayed
next to each part that is unique (element number + color combination) to that
set. In the event a new set is inventoried and contains a previously unique
element, the icon disappears.

Thanks for your consideration.

I would like to see the possibility to overwrite S&H for any given item, the
same way we can put our own dimensions/weight.

We could offer free shipping by setting it to 0 or for example a flat $10 shipping
fee. Either only for domestic shipping and two values, one for International,
one for Domestic.

When browsing, buyer could see a specific free/flat shopping icon.

If the item with specific shipping is bundled with other items, it would be excluded
from the calculation and its flat shipping fee added to the result (if any).

Further more, in search filters, we could select items with free/flat shipping.

Hay Guys,

New to bricklink just noticed that you can't setup a different postal/shipping
adress then billing address.
Would be handy there's a lot of people living in different countries then
born.
Sometimes it would be easier and cheaper to send package to Motherland.
Regards

With instant checkout most of the orders I receive are paid before I am even
aware of them, although I still get a confirmation email from both Bricklink
and Paypal.

I would be useful for Bricklink to have an option to only send the email notification
if there is an order that requires a manual invoice (or requesting a quote obviously).

That way I know there is something I need to do. Otherwise it might be several
hours before I check the orders page and realize an invoice needs to be sent.

Can we have a way to manually filter parts in the building pallet? It's annoying
to try to remember which of the 4 variants of part 4085 I should use, for example.

I've only used site for a week (with two toddlers screaming I want that one
the whole time) so this may be an option somewhere but it would be great if there
is a way to search for local sellers by zip code

Hi everyone.

I was wanting to give one of the many Lego building software's a go preferably
one that works with brick Link. I don't mind paying but a free one would
be preferable.
What does everyone recommend? The simpler the better I might add, I'm not
bad with technology but I am going to be trying to teach my grandson how to do
it.

Sincerely BrickMark1960
