Select any color in the Known colors column, on the next page it shows
always the same color item image.

Even though the text states the color selected.

BrickLink... please show the image of the color selected.

Thank you.

I've tried several colours but can't reproduce what you see.

  I would like to suggest adding the ability to easily print a wanted list. Currently
there is an option to print a set's inventory but not for wanted lists.

In Classic view you can print a Wantlist

  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.

Already exist. It's called the Least favourite list.

  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.

Actually you're wrong here. Sending a PayPal payment manually is quite normal.
It's the instant checkout causing confusion.
There's absolutely no fee circumvention here. Sellers are billed separately
and pay their fees monthly.

   pretty sure they will give me a bad review. dont care. i believe in being honest

Why are you rewarding a helpful seller with a neutral. You should retract the
Feedback.
It will get you on some stoplist or on the Notes on members page.

  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!

Check your buyer settings.

  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.

Enable instant checkout in your store.
Add a shipping cost table to your Shipping policy.
And complete the NPB process instead of just cancelling the order, if they don't
respond.

  
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.

It's still there, check the checkbox in the store settings settings'Disallow
members with negative feedback score to buy from my store'
https://www.bricklink.com/v2/mystore/management.page
However this only blocks -1 etc feedback buyers and doesn't block 0 feedback
buyers.

You can redirect the new buyers to my store. We all start at 0.
  
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.

From your Terms:'To avoid additional PayPal fees, all buyers are encouraged
to "Send Money to friends and family" in PayPal.'
You really can't 'encourage' buyers to pay as friends or family for
goods.

  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?

This has been suggested before.
The problem is that sets are not inventoried by booklet or bag but by part.

The workaround is to part put a set a set partial in a Wantlist by adjusting
parts to the quantities according the booklet.

  Hi,

I would like to propose the idea to add the subnavigation to the homepage.
Alot of the times i want to look up the priceguide for a set and it always takes
some extra clicks.

The Catalog used to be on a separate Tab. Would be nice to have it back.

  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.

People will click incorrectly no matter where a button 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,
Rinaldo Pothof

Click Download on each Wantlist to save it as xml file.

  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.

You can add items in the cart to a Wantlist.

  
I know there is the option to "Apply Order" to a wanted list. However I want
to play around a bit with my wanted lists to figure out the best prices before
I start the actual ordering.

You can use the Buy tab search option a few times over and over, create a cart
each time, then compare the carts on multiple browser tabs.
Unfortunately the Buy feature doesn't allow to do multiple searches because
after it finds a store and you create a cart you need to go back again and search
again.


Or use the classic view By Shop option to find the stores with the most parts
and to create multiple carts. https://www.bricklink.com/wantedShop.asp?showOld=Y
