For sellers that buy their lego by weight a field in the settings where a seller
can enter cost per weight would be really useful.

If there was, then the cost per piece field could automatically be filled in
for the seller, instead of having to work it out manually each time. And the
cost of inventory would then be quickly reflected.

I thought about something...

It was great wheen BrickLink for about a year ago had some articles where we
could meet some sellers. Fun to read and great for any BrickLinker, I think specially
for sellers.

Coldn´t we have something just the same with some buyers? Invite them to participate
and show of their collection. What do you collect? Are you a builder or just
collecting? Any special finding to tell about? What do you seek now? Any goal
whit your project, collection?
Et c.

I been a collector my self and I often think it´s not so easy to share my passion
with ordinary friends, not that many of them understand Passion of Lego at all.
Maybe more people out there thinks the same?

I think this would be a very good byer friendly marketing thing that could increase
traffic and sales to the site.

God or bad idea?

I and some of my friends are a bit disappointed by the lack of prints from the
Brickheadz series, especially the eyes. Does anyone else want these added?

I'm sure someone has suggested this before, but since I can't find an
earlier post that suggests this, I'll just make a new one.

Why not add a 'like' feature to the forum? So many times I read a comment
that I like, but I don't feel like responding to the comment to show I agree.
A like button would add a level of convenience.

I noticed the highest prices of items sold (or of items that are on sale), have
an out of proportion influence on the average prices.
Example: when 9 people sell (or have sold) an item at €0.10 but 1 person has
sold that item for €10.00, the average price would be €1.09
You may say this example is not realistic, but it's not that unrealistic
either. Check out item 6558. The avg used price of last 6 month sales is €0.023,
while the majority of the sales are for less as €0.02
If you look more closesly, you see a few sales at a high price, but not a lot.
(Note: someone even sold a few of these for €1.00 !)

It's my suggestion to change the calculation of avg price to use the 90-percentile
method. So only the 90 percent (lowest prices) are taken into account. That way,
the top 10-percent highest prices are not taken into account when calculating
the avg price.
To avoid weird behaviours, the rule could be in place only when there are 10
items sold/for sale.
Example would become an avg price of €0.10

Another somewhat more complex method would be the use the median. Not the mathematic
average, but the middle price: 50% of the sellers have a lower price, 50% of
the sellers have a higher price.

What do you guys think?

Could an option (maybe this was suggested before?) be added that would allow
possible buyer to offer a price?

I would list an item with a price and a check box there would make this item
appear with a 'make an offer' options. Potential buyer would enter the
price he/she is willing to pay for an item. Seller receives this Quote and denies
or accepts this offer. If seller accepts it he then can add shipping quote and
send a quote (or something like that).

I would love it if the "note to seller" when a buyer is checking out were handled
more like a message and show up in the messages inbox, with the notification
number. The note looks like a message when using "contact your buyer about this
order" link but can easily be missed by sellers. It has happened to me a few
times, and can be frustrating if you see it too late!

Thanks,

Randy

As a buyer on Bricklink
I sometimes have a seller requesting an "Order Item Removal Request"
on items the seller does not have in stock.

When the seller requests an "Order Item Removal Request"
can this request be sent to the buyers Bricklink Messages (presently it does
not).

This lack of notification from bricklink has caused many issues between buyers
and sellers

After typing a part number in the search bar, the screen displays a list of all
the sellers based on the options entered there.

Is there any way to indicate that the list of sellers should only be from 'My
Favorite' stores? If there isn't any way to do this, then can I suggest
that this filter be added?

Besides being happy with specific Sellers and therefore wanting to use them again,
I've also found that when I'm trying to put together orders, the slightly
higher cost of the item is often offset by the savings on shipping by keeping
the order to a smaller number of sellers. I find that I'm often scrolling
through the list looking for those specific sellers that I want on this batch
of orders.

Hi

Probably a lot of us have been guilty of this, adding an item to your inventory
and forgetting the decimal point, or putting it in the wrong place, thereby creating
an abnormal price.

Is it possible when entering a price for new or used, to flag if the price entered
is say more than xx% of the average prices already on file. Still giving you
the option to enter that price, but just warning that this price is abnormal

Thanks
Tracy

Would it be possible for us to be able to write down notes for all the different
carts we have? I usually have 8-15 carts going that I'm debating between,
and usually have to open each one to see what's there and why I haven't
bought it yet. For Instance: "This cart contains a rare minifig that won't
last long at that price, so buy this next."

Thanks!

I used studio to render a simple work,I found it is really nice result,
But I think if adding a popular effect: depth of field blur
Hope it will be created,even if need to pay it.
For now,I added a photoshop efffect on the result render picture, it seems awesome!

We should be able to create promo codes for our store that buyers can use. Unlike
coupons, promo codes can be used by anyone with the code. For example, my store,
Tons of Bricks (GDM), has a Facebook page. I would like to give out a promo code
there for anyone who finds us through Facebook. However, I can't do that
since promo codes don't exist.

This would be an awesome addition to bricklink.

do you think it possible, that TICK BOX might be added to invoice to facilitate
easier checking of contents, may be it could be incorporated within the existing

See attachment. I used wanted list auto finder and came up with 2 stores that
has everything on my one wanted list. But $5.2 just looks awful, it should read
$5.20 I guess if the last digit is a zero, it got left out? Not sure how to
fix this to show correct 2 digits cent amount for US dollars (and I bet most
currencies) by forcing the zero to show up if it is a zero.

Request for addition in checkout process and terms of store at beginning of purchase.

Hello Admins of BrickLink.
I would like to request an addition in the checkout process that will simplify
the way I handle my lot limitation versus $.
I’m sure some sellers would like to add there comment to my request but could
I ask them to restraint themselves to make it official that I’m doing a request
to the admin but I need to receive an answer that will be available to everybody.

I received another order that do not comply with my store terms and I don’t like
to cancel orders since almost all this orders are from new users with 0 feedback
.

I think everybody here sometimes received orders like 100 lots for $20 or more.
The way my storage is done, I can say that a 100 lots orders will take me around
100 minutes to fill, pack, print. Even if I run for it, I can maybe done it in
50 minutes.

From a first time user, this is not funny to spend an hour or two and get cancel
at the end because the order done did not respect store terms.
The concept of limitations in orders are widely spread. Even Lego website for
parts have limitations.

I like to suggest a simple way to fix my problem and this will be a great way
for everyone to fix their goal. This is an addition needed but this would not
affect other factors if you want to keep them.
At checkout, can you add a factor of division versus amount in $.
Ex: I would like my store to accept orders with maximum 20 lots for $25
In other terms, I can take orders that will go over 125% of lots versus dollars.

To make it easier to understand we could also go with % calculation.
A 1% factor will be an order of 20 lots for a purchase of $.20 minimum purchase
A 10% factor will be an order of 20 lots for a purchase of $2 minimum purchase
A 50% factor will be an order of 20 lots for a purchase of $10 minimum purchase
A 100% factor will be an order of 20 lots for a purchase of $20 minimum purchase
A 125% factor will be an order of 20 lots for a purchase of $25 minimum purchase


So at checkout every order will be calculate by the factor we want. If you don’t
want any limitation on the number of lot just leave it by default to 1%.

That’s easy to control and the buyer will get a message with short explanation
of the limit concept for that store in the beginning of their purchase. I think
it’s a much better way to define every need of different sellers and nothing
is lost or gain for sellers who don’t care about lot limitations.

That will be a great way for buyers to be inform right away and not having deception
at the end of their orders.

If you accept, I will be now removing the $20 minimum purchase in my store and
removing all the bulk minimum that break my head all the time.

Please Admins,can you come up with an detail answer of your views on this .


I would like to thank you for your time and keep on doing the great work.

Suggestion is to give Special Assemblies their own section of
the catalog.

Right now they can be found by going to the parts section.

Giving them their own section would make them stand out. I didn't even know
they existed until the recent forum discussion.

Make the corresponding drop down menu match to the theme the assembly comes from?

I would really like to see a new parameter for lots that limits the amount a
buyer can buy of a certain part in any one order. The part would then turn up
in search results and in store inventory showing not more than the value specified.
It's something that many online stores use, notably also LEGO themselves.

So far the way to do this is to offer the desired max amount, put in remarks
how much is left, and put the item on retain. This has several drawbacks, most
of all:
- You have to manually reoffer and modify the remarks all the time
- You cannot see or accurately modify the price and other stats of your inventory
because part of the amount of what you have is hidden in remarks

This could all be solved by 1 simple extra field, that is left on 0 when unused.

Of course, the item should not appear updated for users that still have an order
that has not yet reached the packed status. Of course buyers can buy again after
that, but separate shipping and handling fees should be sufficient to bar the
effect of buyers blowing sudden holes in your inventory.

Can we please get a field in the my inventory page for a minimum stock level
for each item and can that please be used to trigger an automatic entry to a
dedicated wantlist as soon as the re-order level is hit?

So for example what I would want is say
 
Part No: 3001  Name: Brick 2 x 4
* 
3001 Brick 2 x 4
Parts: Brick
in red, I would like a minimum
inventory to be in my store of 30. I have 60 at present. An order comes through
for 40, and immediately that part in that colour gets added to my dedicated
wantlist for inventory.

The benefit would be that it is simply a wantlist that needs to be checked daily
and not inventory levels in brickstock or some other off-site inventory management
system. Also obviously easier to re-order as needed, especially for sellers like
me with very long lead-times.

Of course, the best would be if there could be a complete inventory management
on BL as to which this would just a small part of because I really find it frustrating
that inventory management on-site is essentially just the selling price and quantity
available, but... baby steps

One of the many ways that I personally change my pricing is simply based on how
much space those items take up to store them. An example is, I believe I have
about 200 6x6 plates. This takes up a good amount of room to hold these, of
which, maybe I would want to price these lower to possibly move them to free
up space. Another example is large Wheels. Regardless, it would be beneficial;
to other than knowing what items are large but also to know how much space is
being used in comparison to others if they were able to sort by total Size which
would be Quantity times the sizes that BL already has established. This would
help compare space being used for 2 x 4 plates vs 6 x6 plates vs 1x1 round plates
and also be another way to run sales on items that are large that maybe we forgot
we even had.

Thanks for the consideration.

It would be a great help when tracking payments if the Bricklink Order Number
could be added to the PayPal payment.

When an order is paid for via the onsite checkout, the payment has a Purchase
Description of 'Bricklink Order', but adding the Order Number onto this
too would be a great help.

Thank you,
John

I don't know if there have been suggestions on this before, but I couldn't
help wondering if there's a way to implement this suggestion.

In uploading Legos to my store that's opening soon (hopefully!! ), I see
that there are two ways to upload minifigs. Either, you can find complete minifigs
and upload your minifig as such (such as Dr. Charles Lightning in Adventurers),
or you can upload each individual piece (such as Left Robot Arm).

I'm uploading Legos that I bought from an ebay bulk lot, so all the minifigures
are just randomly put together. So somehow, I'm supposed to find out if any
of my minifig parts can make up an actual minifigure that belongs in a category,
or if I have to individually upload each piece.

That probably sounds confusing, so let me put it another way. Say, for example,
that I have 3 pairs of red, blue, and green pants. I also have 3 pairs of red,
green, and blue shirts. I have 5 different faces, and 3 different hats. If you're
an expert at knowing what kind of minifigs there are out there (which I am completely
and totally ignorant about), you'll probably be able to tell if there are
any combinations of the minifig parts that I have that make up an actual minifigure
that is in a category. But I have no idea about these things. Yes, if I didn't
want to spend hours looking in each category to see if there are any minifigures
that I could create using my pieces, I could just upload each individual piece.

But here's where the suggestion comes in: When you're uploading different
minifig parts, Bricklink looks for a match. So, say you upload a used green pair
of pants, a used shirt with suspenders and a tie, a used white-bearded face,
and a used explorer's hat all separately. Bricklink knows that Dr. Charles
Lightning is made up of these parts. So something pops up saying something like,
"These pieces make up Dr. Charles Lightning. Do you want to turn these individual
pieces into a complete minifigure, or leave them as individual pieces?"
And then you can decide whether or not to leave them as separate pieces.

Now, this is probably wayyy too complicated, and can't be done without a
lot of hard work, and the Bricklink staff already put a lot of work into this.
But if not, and this is possible and easy to do...what do you think? Would this
be a useful addition? Is there already something like this? Or am I just being
stupid, and no one else would find this helpful?
Sorry for such a long post!

C.

Another suggestion, although this may be moot with some of whatever BL has come
up with for the upcoming sellers' update, whenever that is going to be.
My suggestion is to have all (if possible) of a given item category's pages
choosable, at the top and bottom of the page. Right now, it displays 1-10. Personally,
I have a category (plates) with 16 pages, and I find it more than just a little
annoying to have to select page 10, just to go to pages 11-16. And when on, say,
15, 1-4 are now not an option.
That page is quite wide enough you could simply put all 1-16 on there, without
the slightest issue. Probably even 1-30, before you hit the edge of the used
page.
Another option could be to have a "jump to the end" button (in my case, would
jump to 16) and one to jump back to page 1 as well.

Also, a different suggestion, but related, add a "Submit changes" to the top
of the page as well. It seems stupid (to me) to have to scroll to the bottom
of the page, just to submit whatever changes I made to the top item on that page.

Hello,

as a seller I always have this problem:

buyer submits a rash order then wants to cancel.
If you do agree, you risk the buyer leaving a negative feedback. I would surely
leave a neutral or negative for someone asking to cancel an order just because
they don't want the items anymore. But I can't leave it, as a revenge
negative is always ready.

So I deny the order cancel until they become NPB, I undergo the NPB procedure,
so the buyer isn't allowed to leave a feedback anymore.

But this way my items are BLOCKED FOR 14 DAYS (7 I have to wait + 7 I have to
wait the NPB to resolve) and no one can buy them anymore.

Instead if I was able to accept the OCR, knowing they will not be able to leave
a negative, I would do that, leave a neutral, relist my items instatly and move
on.

I don't think that removing the chance to leave a feedback if we wish to
cancel the order is so unfair. The ones who wish to cease the order, ceases the
feedback with it.

Please help us sellers.

Thanks

Hi. I know other sites do this. I haven't checked if anyone else has suggested
this already so apologies if it has! Isn't it about time BrickLink had a
'have' section. I am do done with maintaining a spreadsheet with all
my sets. I'd love an option on here to be able to document all I have by
set name, then split by part and minifigure, cross-reference to the sets I have!
You have this already for the 'wanted'list, why not do a separate version
for the 'haves' as well. Are you just leaving this to other sites? I'd
prefer to have everything in 1 site so Come on Bricklink, get this feature out
there!

Sorry if this has been suggested before (don't know how it couldn't have
been), but maybe red banner, large text saying "NO COLOR CHOSEN" when on the
add item verification page. Sort of the way it already warns you if you already
have 1 of said part in your inventory. Just something to say you failed to chose
a color would be a nice, simple addition. Would certainly help when listing white
items, because if you fail to chose a color, the part's image shows it in
white.

It would be great if i could put all my wanted parts into a list and get results
from sellers that had most of the parts.
This would help on searching different sites to find parts that one or two sellers
may have rather than placing orders with several sellers.
Also helps in paying postage fees

Sales are nice thing, right? Scoring a bulk load of 1x1 plates you so desperately
need for a long overdue project helps you move on!
When 70% of the sales announcements concern shops that do NOT ship to you, the
nice efforts turn into an ever growing deception....

So here's my suggestion: have a SALE announcement link to the shipping terms
of the store so there will be ONLY announcement visible that actually DO ship
to your country.

Ever working on a more pleasant environment.

Would it be possible, while logged in and looking at the parts inventory of a
given set, to have an indicator by any parts that are on a Wanted List?
Could really come in handy when evaluating sets for parts potential.
Thanks!

Can we please have a sandbox to be able to test shipping options.

4 times this month the actual shipping has been more than the IC system has calculated.

Yes this maybe because I have done something incorrectly but a system in place
to allow sellers to test option before finalising them surely would be good for
everyone.

Regards
David

P.s As there is also no edit function for posts - if there is a system in place
and I cannot find it then thank you and could someone please direct me to it.

Sometimes we make BL orders together with one or more friend to optimize shipping
costs. This is a little bit hard to do specially with lot of lots.

It would be very nice if there will be an option to invite somebody to an order
to add an another batch. For example, if i get an invite, i could add a batch
to my friend's order from my own account. It would be a spearated batch named
to me.

Obviously it could be a solution to share each's password, but obvious security
reason it's not really a fun solution.

And also: it would be nice if we have the itemNo with link to the catalog on
the shop's store page like in the global store page.

I was wondering if it was possible to identify from a store inventory what sets
could be made (or 90% made). This would be helpful with bulk buys and seeing
what sets could be made from the bulk purchase.

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 have gone through the history of suggestions and this is not the first apperance
of this one, however - hopefully - this time it will have greater chance of being
realised:

As a buyer of sets I would appreciate to have an option to sort them not only
by Instant checkout or No min purchase or Sellers location etc, but also by
the presence of box and instructions with possible additional comments from
sellers in what condition they are
- please see screenshot in attachment
with a possible solution.

Every seller, unlike now, should be obliged to add this information to
the description, which appears in the catalog, and this should be provided by
easy tick boxes in the system.

Thank You in advance and I would appreciate an answer from the administration.

This may have been asked a number of times, but as I am a n00b, I have not been
aware of it. What is the possibility of dragging information out of the database
automagically to create a visual guide to all parts? Basically one page that
has 1 image of each block with the part number that goes to a search on that
part number.

Some of the parts that I have seen, I really have no experience in describing
them and Lego can have some different naming conventions to name things that
are similar or even knowing if it is 6x5 or 5x6 (random numbers used).

I've tried looking to see if Lego have a catalogue or someone else and
no one seems to have something like this and this being the best repository for
parts, it could be a great asset.

Regards

Macr

Is there any chance that paired items such as wedges (left and right) would receive
their own entry in the catalog, much like the pair of minifig arms entry?

Example:
 
Part No: 981982  Name: Arm, (Matching Left and Right) Pair
* 
981982 (Inv) Arm, (Matching Left and Right) Pair
Parts: Minifigure, Body Part

Super-lots are a pain to work with and BL buyers don't seem to read listing
notes that items must be purchased with matching side (maybe due to generating
carts from wanted lists).

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
but was disappointed to find that they are not in a detachable window for multiscreen
desktops. I can only hope this functionality can be added to a future update.

Thanks for all your hard work!

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?

Alot of the times i want to look up the priceguide for a set and it always takes

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,
Rinaldo Pothof

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.

Is there a way to apply a cart to a wanted list?

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.

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?

Please fix this "go back" button to load the orders page not actually go back
a page. This requires me to hit refresh in order to see what order needs feedback
next. It's not an issue when there are only 1 or 2 but more than that and
it can get a little annoying.

This issue was observed on Chrome, it may react differently on other browsers,
if so I would love to hear about which ones if the button works!

Thanks!

To admin,

Regarding parts and colour entry.

It would be good if there were an entry to say whether the colour is matt or
shiny. I have to replace a part on Harry Potter Knight's bus. The original
was shiny black but the part I received as a replacement was matt.

On this particularly set it is rather noticeable so rather than have to email
each seller to ask if they have a shiny black part it would be good if it were
stated. Not sure if Lego make the distinction but it makes a difference to the
look of the set when its a visible part.

Hello everyone,

I think it's time to ask Bricklink to make a very simple but very useful
change: a MOBILE-FRIENDLY website!

Nowadays the majority of online worldwide buyers are using the mobile to complete
their purchases.
For example, in China the 83% of customers are buying from a mobile device.

Benefits:
- Buyers are more satisfied and the customer experience would be increased.
- Stores would increase the number of orders received
- Bricklink would have new customers that now are potential customers but, due
to this lack are not customers yet.

The competitor "BrickOwl" has a mobile-friendly website.
But BRICKLINK you are the largest LEGO Marketplace!
Please BRICKLINK, the whole community needs a mobile-friendly site!

Guys please, support my suggestion

Hi all,

when I am in my order page...all buttons are centered above the site.

But using an old fashioned 4/3 monitor, half of the buttons are outside my view,
and I need to use the sliding bars everytime I want to select one of them.


If all the buttons can be alligned from the left side of the screeen, this would
improve a lot.


Anybody has the same problem?


Be cool and have fun

So I use to post in the forum all the time. About 4 or more years ago before
the new company took over BL and changed things on here.
And it was much easier to find the POST NEW MESSAGE button than it is now. Took
me about 5 minutes to find the damn thing! That is ridiculous!

Why can't I just click on the BIG Community button at the top right on every
BL page and then on that 1st page that comes up is a BIG EASY TO FIND AND READ
button that reads: POST NEW MESSAGE!

NO, what you have to do is look at all the little buttons at the top in the grey
bar that read:
Forum, Messages, Topics, Search, Stats...
Click on Topics, click on one of those topics and in the top right corner of
those pages it says in little size font: Post New Message....

I use to be good at BL. Thanks for the frustration. I was going to post an
announcement sharing that I am only 1 feedback away from the big 5 double 0 after
almost 11 years on BL but I will probably forget how to find the Post New Message
button in the mean time.
(Why do less than half the members on BL leave feedback? I'd be over 1000
if everyone left feedback. lol. It's the same on ebay.)
