i have one suggestion that i think all would greatly appreciate. the function
capability to isolate and block individual sellers. what i mean is to make it
where if you have unsatisfactory service, you the buyer, can highlight the specific
seller and put him on your own block list. much like facebook. so that way, you
no longer see the seller when you search for future lego products. for the bad
shops will be filtered out and you wont see them. i just had an order that i
cancelled. i was instructed to go thru paypal and enter all their info in order
to buy their products. instead of going thru bricklink to get thru to paypal.
in other words, they wanted to circumvent the percentage you guys make when each
sell happens. so i refuse to let them circumvent and cut you out. pretty sure
they will give me a bad review. dont care. i believe in being honest. but i find
it frustrating that i have to write down each bad seller and have to review my
own list before buying. that is timeconsuming. appreciate it!

Hi folks,

I've been getting a bunch of orders lately with severely damaged and discolored
bricks that are coming out of big orders. While I attempt to skim the orders
for things that stand out like that, it seems like its easy to miss these things,
and then I wind up with dozens of low quality bricks I wouldn't give to kids
for free.

I have two suggestions:

1. Create a new category for quality. We have new, we have used (should probably
be renamed to gently used) and there could be a third category for "partially
digested, covered in feces, discolored" or use a number rating system like
comic books do.

2. ANY comments on the item made by the seller should be highlighted in a different
color. When I am skimming a list of several hundred bricks, the seller notes
tend to get lost in with the brick description. Leave the brick description
black, and make the seller comments red. If I see red, I'll know something
needs to be read more carefully.

Sorry if already discussed. The part numbers as provided in the instruction
inventory list don't match the part numbers as they are searchable inside
stud.io

As it is, I have to search on bricklink as in intermediate step. For example,
part 4160560 (a 4x4 wing piece) doesn't come up in the stud.io search bar,
so I have to search online, which then yields the part number 30503.

Can whoever is in charge find a way to include these alternate part IDs as searchable
inside stud.io for the next version? Would make builds a lot easier.

Many thanks.

Hello there ,

i am new to bricklink and i need tips since i am trying to make my first order.
I want to buy around 15 minifigs but as it seems most of the sellers dont have
any other than the figures i am interested of buying.Is there any way sorting
a list and then see the availability on the buyers ? Or i should just copy paste
on all shops every single code i am interested to ?
Thanks for your time and answer

would like to suggest adding a feature to the 'My Discussion Forum Settings'
page:

just like you can put members on your 'ignore list'
i'd like to see a feature that would allow me to ignore posts initiated by
members with feedback rating below X (X would be set by the user) it will be
an OPTIONAL feature as i'm sure not everyone will have a use for it.

The feature would EXEMPT(not ignore) posts that initiated by members who have
admin status.

Thanks for considering.

A bricklink user may be an A + buyer but a mediocre seller. I’m dealing with
a seller who’s had bad reviews, ranging from water and crush damage to an order
that was cancelled without explanation. But this user has stellar buyer reviews
that reflect his overall rating.

If there’s not already, there should be a way to filter between these two types
of reviews so that users aren’t stuck with a bad seller who’s being advertised
so positively from their reviews as a buyer.

Hi,

If it is possible, it would be great if the Add to Wanted List dialog did not
close automatically. In order to be able to do both, a checkbox could be installed,
which prevents this and, when selected, displays a button to close. Standard
should remain the current state.

If there is another way to add all known color variations to the WL, the suggestion
is of course obsolete and I ask for help.

Best regards
Martin

Hi there,

I do not seem to find a solution for downloading the release date of the LEGO
parts. I am able to download most of the information I need but I cannot figure
out how "year released" info can be downloaded. Looked up in forum discussions
as well, no luck.

If there is already a solution for this, please let me know and discard my suggestion.
Otherwise other users might also find this option useful, not only me.

Thanks,
bb.

For a long time, there has been a lot of new buyers with (0) feedbacks ordering
from my store but ended up not paying, which I have to manually cancel the order
after a few weeks or so. Sometimes Bricklink charges me service fee across the
month for these orders that are not paid and not shipped, which I have to wait
for a refund the next month after the order is cancelled, resulting in me paying
for things upfront without the necessity of it.

I am getting frustrated about new users making orders but not paying. It is a
burden for me (spending time calculating shipping cost and handling fee, sending
invoice, being billed by Bricklink) ending up to no avail. Sure, I could leave
a negative review on these buyers, I could ban them one by one... but what's
the point when they can easily make another fresh account and do the same thing
over and over again.

To deal with this, I have 3 suggestions:

1. I vaguely remember there was an option to disallow buyers below certain points
to buy from my own stop... it was probably Yahoo auction or somewhere else I
don't really remember... But I think this should be an option for sellers.

2. Perhaps the system has to make it even more clear that one legally HAS to
pay after clicking Order. Because apparently, people don't read anymore,
even warnings.

3. Charge sellers after the order has been paid, not when they are made. Imagine
if someone made a fresh spam account, orders EVERYTHING from my store but not
paying for weeks. I will end up with getting charged by Bricklink, and my sales
hindered because they are off the shelves. And said buyer will suffer from little
or no consequences whatsoever.

I hope changes will be made to secure sellers from such unfair treatment.

Hello

I have just had an order for bionicle parts and even before picking I knew that
there was an issue with the packing/postal type chosen by instant checkout.

I have had some issues with instant checkout using a weight band lower than what
I needed to post out but I can accept that I might have used more packing than
needed and take the small hit on profits.

BUT when the package should have been a parcel not a large letter then it starts
to be a problem.

at least 2 parts of the order are borderline large-letter. But 1 part could not
fit into a large letter. So the order is going as a parcel and its a larger hit
on any profits. I am not about to ask my customer to pay more.

My suggestion would be that if a part has a ? against size or weight then it
should not be able to be able to be processed as instant checkout and an invoice
should be requested.
( I have places an amendment for the part size to be approved)

Regards
David

P.s I love instant checkout so this is not a knock on the system as a whole.

Is there already a way to have different store minimum for my own country and
the others country ?
If not, are some interested to see it implemented ?

For example, I have a store minimum of about 20 USD, but I would prefer to have
15 or 10 for my country and 30 for the other countries.

I have got more work to ship in other countries (customs declaration and packing)
and I like my customers to have a good balance between shipping costs and order
value.

While recently working on a model in stud.io I started using multiple viewports

Some sets have more than one book of instructions. I want to part out only a
part of a set and doing this manually is a royal pain. So instead, what if we
could part out only a specific instruction booklet from a set the features multiples?

Would it be possible to include a section on a rejected Catalog Submission (similar
to the 'Note for Catalog Administrator' section) that explains the reason
that a certain change was rejected?
I ask, because I have noticed that some submissions have been rejected, only
to be approved after I changed the format slightly. Other changes have been rejected,
but accepted when I have resubmitted them.
Having feedback on rejected Catalog Submissions will prevent confusion over the
reason for the rejection, and will help others to improve their Submissions.

For the benefit of those of us with less accurate clicking skills, I would like
the buttons "order" & "cancel" on the quotes page stacked side by side (horizontally)
rather than sitting vertically on top of each other. There seems to be plenty
of space free on the page, & this would make inadvertently clicking the wrong
button less likely.

I think it would be helpful to have a flag of the sellers country next to the
username on the Marketplace sales forum. It would save those of us that don't
want to buy from overseas having to open every sales post to see where the seller
is located.

Hello BrickLink,


I like to have a feature to archive my completed (100%) wanted lists.
I think it is helpfull to clear op the total list, but even to backup them.

Is it possible to add it?

Hope to hear from you soon!

Kind regards,

In the description it shows "Item No" but the detailed "Part Color Code" isn't
shown (even though the color swatch and description are shown).

Customizeable columns in the Wanted List view would be awesome. To select what
detail, how many columns, how it's sorted would make this tool really flexible.

When adding an item to my wanted list, I typically want it in 5 colors. As it
is, I have to add the item in each color or select 'no-applicable' which
means when I check a store I get a rainbow of the item which slows my search.

When I add an item it should just let me select boxes for the desired colors.

Hello All,

I wonder why I can't set a filter on QTY for the Price Guide. I wonder how
relevant is that when I seek for 200 bricks (3001 black) that there is someone
who is selling 1 piece for HUF 9.69 when I actually can only buy from the guy
sells for HUF 43.74 due to lot size.

Not to mention the shipping costs...

Cheers:
Tamas

Please consider the following:

1. Add colour as an option
2. When using the 'by category filter@ please show sub-totals by category

It would also be a good idea to incorporate the ability to update selected inventory
items into a superlot.

In addition, whilst you can use external tools to work on pricing it would be
far better if that type of tool existed on the MY Inventory page.

We are aware there has been discussion over sellers tools since 2013, and these
things may or may not be in those new tools, however it is now 5 years since
that discussion began and to date, I am not sure anyone is aware of what may
or may not be coming.

We are led to believe that Admin_Jaclyn is project managing the sellers tools
- Could we have an indication as to what is being considered, please?

Currently if you look at a set with more than 1 build (60052 for example) you
are greeted with the parts list arranged by part type and colour, for the whole
set.

What I would love to see is this done for each individual build in a set , for
example;
all parts required for this, arranged as usual but given its own heading (Current
ones are for plates, bricks, supplemental etc I believe?

- Locomotive
- Wire Drum Car
- Pallet Car
- Cattle Car
- Fork Lift
- Truck
- Gantry Crane/Office

This would allow users to quickly populate wanted lists for specific aspects
from sets, I don't believe the Part-Out function would do this (although
it did answer my other request).

Not sure if I'm missing something but there is no simple want to add a complete
set inventory as a Wanted list.

Example: 10016-1, in order to build a Wanted list of parts for this set I have
to add each piece individually to a new Wanted list.

Am I missing something or does this feature not yet exist.

I have a standard Buyer account so not sure if this feature is available to other
user types.

I suggest that non seller's profiles also have the option for inventory.
And an additional functionality could be to be able cross that info with the
sets' list of pieces. This way one could see which other sets could be built
using the pieces one owns.

Hi all,

I wonder if sellers could be limited in cluttering the price-list.

We have tiered price possibilities, but some sellers like to clutter the price-list
with more than 1 listing. In the example it is 11 times for the same item!!!!!

Why???

I would suggest if it is exactly the same item, either use tiered pricing....or
maximum of 3.

Anyone else has an opinion?


Be cool and have fun!

Yesterday I added about 6000 dark green 1 x 1 plates to our inventory as we continue
to build up quantities of standard items. I listed them at our standard price
and then later on went to my inventory page, called up that item and added a
tiered price at 1p below our standard price for quantities of 100 or more. Fine
- no problem.

Today additional stock of that particular item came across my desk to be added
and I went to add the item - filled in all information to add the additional
pieces. Lo and behold the system removed my tiered price and set it back to 0.

As it is not really possible to remember all the items we have on tiered pricing,
I believe the system should either show you this or have an option to retain
tiered pricing.

Anyone else - or is there a workaround to ensuring the tiered pricing sticks.

Please add the option to send an orderconfirmation massage to the seller WITH
the ordered items in detail.
The same information as in the sellers-orderpage. With picture and with "My
Remarks"

Best (and simpliest) solution would be (in my opinion): the orderdatail page
as an PDF-attachment. (text searchable, not as an image)


Explanation": This is very helpfull when Bricklink is in Maintenance mode or
when picking orders in offline-mode (or when our intenet is down). It is also
helpfull for history


For a buyer it would be helpfull as it is the same as the orderplaced datail.


Comments or other/better ideas are welcome

Sometimes events in life do not allow time to process large parts orders, but
filling quick minifig or set orders is quick enough to process. It'd be nice
to be able to partially close specific sections of your store and not all or
nothing...

I suppose running 2 stores is a possibility, but I would rather see this option
installed.

Hi, I have been stopped / blocked by a rather thin skinned seller.

Is there a way I can block the store? I don't want to see the store any longer
or be able to add items from its inventory. I have gone to the store twice now
to add items only to find out I am blocked.

That is annoying me and there should be a way for a buyer to block a seller in
turn.

What happened to the best buy button when purchasing wanted lists? It a load
of poo that the system takes a much higher price. I had 6 items that came up
to over $35.00 when using auto select. The same items cost me $2.50 all from
one store when searched out manually.

Hi all,

I would like BrickLink to change its layout or the possibility to change it myself
in order to be able to use it better on a 4:3 screen instead of a 14:9 xcreen,
also a better GUI for my mobile Phone would be nice.

I am Always on the road and I am tired of used sliders everytime I need to click
an icon.


What's your opinion?


Be cool and have fun!

I don't know how hard what I'm asking for is, but I've had some fun
today tracking down "undetermined" variants in sets that I have from childhood.
I'm pretty close to mining it as far as I can go, but I would certainly
consider parting out some sets from eBay with the added interest in finding the
variants. Could we have a tool that would just identify a list of sets that
contain a piece of undetermined variant?

Not enough space on the subject line! When adding a part to the catalog, we
have to scroll through every catagory in the catalog. I mostly add minifig pieces,
halfway down the list. And it is especially frustrating when the item number
I choose is already pending in the catalog and I have to scroll through it all
again. All of these categories have a number and I have considered just changing
my routine to adding the number on the pending items screen. I just haven't
done that because it feels improper to submit it without the category and I might
forget. If it were an option, that is the option I would use.

We can add pics of a pending item. Obviously that is a necessity. I inventory
a lot of minifigs and that means I am always adding items with new PCCs and torsos
that need to be inventoried and sometimes adding the minifig and its pieces to
the catalog. The catmins do a great job of moving things through, but obviously
there isn't always one at the desk! I have this routine for adding them
and I have another routine after they get approved and I try to do it promptly,
but things happen. This might not be something that generates a lot of interest
because most people don't do this stuff, but it would really streamline for
me if I could add the PCCs to pending pieces, inventory pending torso assemblies
with pending torsos, and even add the pending pieces to pending minifig inventories.
The same basic things would also help the people who tackle the sets (which
I don't usually do myself). Then when the pieces were approved everything
would just fall into place and it would be done.

When I go to part out a set, especially a large set, I would like to have this
specifically:

On page 1 where I input the number of sets etc. - A tick box for something along
the lines of "auto add pre-existing remarks to items".

I am aware this is shown on the confirmation page but here is why this is a problem.

Some of my parts don't have any remarks because I have never had them in
my inventory. I and many others use the remarks box to input the a reference
number to their place of storage. If I have the item in my inventory I have to
either click onto a new page or wait until I go to the inventory page.

If I had this tick box on the first page, that I am suggesting, here is what
would happen.

The remarks would be filled in automatically for parts with your "default" remark.
This would occur on the same page where you can alter pricing, quantities, add
notes, etc. This would mean I can go through the part out list, add remarks easily
to new parts, store parts in their rightful places, alter quantities, etc. all
in one page.

I don't know if this is a thing or not since I am new to the site. When I
upload a bricked out set and it consolidates parts I all ready have it should
show the remarks for them instead of having to click part detail. Would make
it easier to put away parts without having to click it. If this can happen please
let me know if not they should have the remarks listed on this page.

Hi,

I guess default photographs of Minifig Heads (specifically their expressions
and facial features) are being replaced with graphics.

I find the angled, turned-away graphics (example (a) below) notably less visually
informative than straight-on great photographs of a Minifig Head's expression
and facial features (example (b)).

Please retain good photographs as the default image for shoppers.

If a large effort is underway to create angled, turned-away, less clear heads,
I do not understand how this loss of immediate (i.e. default) visual presentation
data constitutes a site improvement. In addition to, for example beard/brow/cheek/glasses
alignment details, a straight-on photograph also informs the shopper of a Lego
paint scheme's older or newer production art quality.

Even if the great photographs are retained as alternates to the default graphics,
BrickLink administrators are adding more process steps to get to the best information
available, which is more time-consuming for users and illogical beyond uniformity.

I can obsess by the way, and love nice shiny rows of similar thingies, but not
if such uniformity is going to make any customer process more difficult.

Lastly the type of stud is no big deal for my uses, so I do not need a partial
top-down view. I suspect this is true for most shoppers.

Apologies if my overall image transition guess is mistaken.

Thanks for listening, Matthew

Please, Bricklink give us back the Paypal notifications.
Or please notify us in any way that the payment is done.

Those who have switched to Paypal Marketplace are not receiving the notifications.
Many users are complaining about that in other posts.

Why do negative and neutral feedback still show for orders that were supposedly
purged from the system? I have one case where the order was shipped, actually
lost in the mail, neutral feedback received, then received a few days later.
I was able to respond to the feedback but it didn't occur to me in time
to ask to have the feedback removed. Now that I've tried to make the request
the system won't let me because the order was supposedly purged but yet the
feedback is still there. Do negative or neutral feedback ever expire? Is there
any way for me to request removal of this feedback seeing as how the system apparently
can't access the order?

Subject pretty much says it. When buying parts, as you were adding them to your
cart from a store, there was a little thing that would tell you if their price
was above or below market average, and by how much of a percent. I just went
to buy some parts, and noticed that is now gone. It would be great if that was
brought back. It is much easier than trying to go piece by piece and check multiple
stores before buying one, especially when buying lots of parts.

There are only 2 options to pay fees onsite to paypal. Overdue amount & total
amount(Which doesn't include current months fees). Can we get an additional
option to enter our own amount? Paying directly to billing@bricklink.com does
not solve my problem, i need onsite.

Buyers have trouble finding the quote request. I would like to offer a quote
request only option (similar to BO).

Please create and allow for a quote only option that the seller can elect to
use. This way the option to see a quote request is not limited by the shipping
method selected.

Thank you,
Cob

Hi Bricklink,

After switching to PayPal marketplace for onsite PayPal, I no longer receive
email alerts from PayPal that I have been paid. PayPal tells me that all those
notifications now go to Bricklink. I think it Bricklink's responsibility
to pass on those notifications to your sellers. Can you please create an option
to receive payment notifications by email when a buyer has paid for their order?
This could be an option in my account settings that I either turn on or off.
I would think this would not be a huge undertaking and would make the transition
a lot smoother. Especially considering the fact that I did not read anything
about email notifications no longer working in Bricklink's communication
about enabling PayPal marketplace.

Thank you!

I am proud of the invoice template that I developed. It doesn't get used
that much since instant checkout started. I sometimes get a "Wait for Invoice"
order and use it. But more often it is used to auto-send an invoice to someone
who clicked instant checkout and then didn't complete their payment. I guess?
These people are getting an immediate invoice that says I have packed their
order and everything is good to go, which is still what I would like to tell
the people who wait for an invoice. But I would rather have a totally different
invoice for the auto-generated ones.

I know that this has probably been beat to death, but I have a suggestion. I,
as well as others I'm sure, have complained about the average prices that
are grossly inflated due to very high priced parts. On the used side of the guide
it seems it is always the same 2 stores (ex $39.95 for a $0.20 piece).

Why can't we do what they do in some sporting events - throw out the lowest
and highest and then average. I'm sure there is a way to do this.

Due to another spammer having appeared on the Forum, and my having to message
the Admins about it, I now think that Bricklink should have a designated “Report”
button on each Forum post (as is the case on Eurobricks). This would make reporting
spam/problem members/etc much easier, since the Admins could be contacted immediately
upon seeing the offending post and automatically be directed to the specific
post in question.
Is this something that Bricklink can implement?
