This item is main inventory as it is illustrated in the instruction manual as a needed piece. I almost missed it because its not in the main inventory section.

What piece is it that you still need?

Likewise as a buyer I think its ridiculous to not be allowed to cancel an order
for 2 weeks if the vendor wont even communicate whether or not they will even
send it! I paid for my items 2/27/18. Altho I have sent several emails. UT I
HAVE STILL YET TO HEAR FROM 1 of my vendors if they are even going to ship my
merchandise. I have received my merchandise from a vendor who was moving his
warehouse and 1 that was form the Netherlands. It's a tiny order & very little
money. But if they didn't want to mess with such a tiny order, they should
have told me! Bricklink chose the vendors, NOT ME! Now I can't build, because
I need a piece I was expecting to get from them. I submitted a problem response
through this system. It's a common piece but I shouldn't have to order
it again or go to a Lego store.

Problem

It seems that I don't have a choice of what I offer for PayPal payments,
even though BL says I have a choice between onsite and offsite.

There is an option to select PayPal marketplace.

It's working fine for me. All I do is select standard "Paypal" as the payment
option (or empty my cart if it's not available), wait for the invoice to
come in, and then log in to Paypal to submit payment. Now, come late April,
it'll be jacked twelve ways from Sunday...

Sorry, but I don't think a misc lot of parts is a good justification for

But of course, I don't really have any say.

Comments from Submitter:
I found exactly two reddish brown 4215b in a large lot of bricks containing set 7199. These panels can only come from this set because there is not a single reddish brown 60581 in the lot, and there is no trace of neither of the sets 5378 and 10144 (the count of 2 would also be a mismatch for these other sets). Because 4215b is the older version, I've switched 60581 to be the alternate.

That scroll attempt also caused other screwups, like the cursor and entered text

A recent forum message just reminded me of a concept I thought of awhile ago.

Please consider creating 3 options for wanted list viewing among users.

Private:
Default option. No one else can see your any of your lists.

Limited:
Much like reserving items where you enter a user name. This would allow one
person of your choosing to view a specific list.

Public:
One or all of your lists can be seen by everyone.

I recognize that this isn't the most important upgrade that is needed, however,
a feature such as this has been wanted by many for a long time.

Unfortunately, BL has spent so much effort fixing the website that they've
essentially broken it in my eyes. It seems like every time I'd start a big

In addition, they never provide a manuals or help guides on how to use the updates.

I was in the middle of the Technic Icarus supercar project when I finally had

Instead, I now spend my money on ebay for Lego sets.

Thank you for the info.

Something weird about the below subject. The rollover icons themselves can be
clicked on like a regular link in addition to the rolled over options.

To oversimplify what's actually going on here is this: Those top nav items
are not links. They are "rollover detectors" tied to a script. When your cursor
hovers over one of these areas, it triggers the script which then shows the dropdown
box containing links to pages. As the top nav items are not links, the browser
can't give you the right-click options to open the link in a new window because
the items aren't links. The items in the drop-downs are links, but the top-navs
aren't. Clicking the top nav activates something in the script which then
takes you to a page.

1) Please fix the BL login. Multiple times pretty much every day BL tells me
that my auto-fill password and id are in error.

Sometimes I can switch to a new tab or close the browser and start it again.
Other times, I have to clear my cookies (it took 2 tries of clearing cookies
just now). When I clear my cookies for BL, I also lose all my other site prefilled
info.

None of the above is acceptable for a modern website.

2) Links: why on earth do the upper links (community, my store, my bl, etc) work
when clicked on, but do not when you right-click for a new tab? (Google Chrome)
Please fix this too.

I stopped contributing to the site (at the level that I was), due to some frustration

I'll occasionally submit a weight, but that's about it.

If BrickLink keeps going at the rate it is going by forcing out its top contributors,
BrickLink won't have much of a community of volunteers left to do anything
for it. The extremely slow rate of new inventories being submitted for approval
to the catalog over the last two years as well as the loss of many major catalog
contributors to other sites is already indicative of this trend.

Please "downgrade" from the recent update to the wanted list and give us back
the number of "needed" lots (eg: those where the have field is not fulfilled).

Ideally we should be able to not only see the number of needed lots, but also
the quantity of parts still required for each wanted list.

P.S. If someone were to analyse what functions each feature offers before designing
an upgrade, I'm reasonably confident that there will be less complaints about
missing features.

Measure twice, cut once vs. measure once, cut it too short and have to start
all over.

P.P.S. Tutorials on how to use new features would also help. Maybe info/features
in each upgrade are available that aren't obvious to all of us.

I would like to suggest that it be added to the new page in some form. Maybe
a button that when clicked opens/expands the old map without changing pages,
if possible.

Also, the new page is nice to look at, but it has too much empty space leading
to unnecessary scrolling. Only half of the page is displayed on a 22" monitor
w/o scrolling, whereas before 3/4 of the page was displayed with 100% of the
major info on one.

There's something about the "Required" feature on wanted lists that doesn't
make sense to me. When I select "required" for a particular item, the system
doesn't factor in the quantity.

On my current list I need 2 piece of a rare(ish) part, so I select "required,"
but it still shows results of only 1 piece.

Is this working as intended? I would certainly like to be able to have some
control over quantity.

Re: Offsite payment no longer possible??

Topic:

I deleted my vote, however, I believe that bank transfers among individuals are
a path to unfair play. This is especially so when sellers charge extra for a
buyer to use a payment method that has some form of recourse against fraud.

This can even happen with honest people that don't intend to cause issues.
A seller gets extremely ill, coma, death, and is unable to ship the goods.
Unfortunately, it happens. I've read of at least 3 deaths, 1 coma, and various
other issues to BL members, since joining.

I will continue to use PayPal for this extra piece of mind that my buyers have
protection should something happen.

I just feel very uncomfortable with the thought that I got this far with my business,
and the road towards it has collapsed behind me.. the more open this place is
to everyone, the better.. a few percent more scams but a manyfold multiplication
of the market potential.

Over the years I have read many forum messages about buyers losing money due

to be in the spirit of fair e-commerce between individuals. Registered businesses
may be a different story.

I think that it would be a good idea to mark sets that are sold as incomplete

Too bad. I have many big projects that I'd like to start, but this is really
a deal breaker. I guess I'll just continue to buy off of ebay for bigger
lots/sets instead.

For me this feature was all about choosing the best overall value when considering
the price over the number of lots on my wanted list I could fulfill. I also
found myself being able to place larger $ orders to maximize shipping costs.

The old way works, however, it takes substantially more time than I wish to give
up just for shopping and probably placing more orders than really needed. I'd
rather be building.

New sets cannot be listed as complete, if they are missing instructions or stickers
(I cannot remember what I just read about the original box and completeness).
That is already in the guidelines. Whether or not it is enforced is beyond
my knowledge.

One thing that would help with this is to disallow a set that is missing instructions
from being considered complete. I just looked at the 4 cheapest NEW 10179's
and they are missing instructions, stickers, box. One even has stated that a
reproduction instruction book is included and is listed as Complete.

Sbricks have no place in the catalog. It doesn't matter how neat they may
be.

I just requested adding Sbrick and SBrick Plus Bluetooth command devices, they
are not from Lego, but much better ! It all depands, so bricklink should propose
anything convenient, compatible with normal Lego pieces, toxic ones or not convenient
ones are illegal in EJFJ State, not only on bricklink, and no one should waste
anything while considering them! Only the best is legal, bricklink.com is a nice
solution (international reference norm)...

Each member could place their order in one unique batch and see if the seller
can fill and bag by batch (best to ask 1st). A bigger order might be worth a
little extra effort from a seller. I know that I would do it if asked.

I don't think there's enough demand for this feature to utilize resources
when much more important things are needed. Voted no.

Often various members of my local LUG get together and combine orders from a
store under one user. It would be nice to be able to split an order up after
submission to easily so who owes what.

Seller would not need to know or be impacted by the feature.

I have a hard time with bank transfers especially with the addition of % based
fees. Sellers that do this are essentially punishing buyers that want some recourse
should something go wrong with the order or the order is never sent.

Yes, it happens even to sellers that have no intentions of defrauding their buyers.
$@*# happens.

Of course, my understanding of transfers is one sided. Different geography =
different ways of life.

To me, fees also mean that the seller is bean-counting but didn’t include their

I charge the actual paypal fee too. Not because I like an extra line on my invoice
but because I think it's fair to those buyers paying by bank transfer.

If yu don't charge a paypal fee, it means the fee is in your brick prices.
So if a buyer pays by bank tranfer, he's actually overpaying.

Just my 2 cts. But I know other have a different opinion about it.

Due to your obscure rants about the value of this feature, I've decided to
remove my yes vote. I'd like the feature back, but I as a long-term member
I refuse to allow your misguided attempts to be a leading factor to its return.

The site is just as functional as it was before the tool was implemented. I've
placed nearly 1500 orders and this feature won't be the cause of me not buying
more.

Thanks Yorbrick, may I count on your vote to bring back the average pricing tool?
