| While adding items to an inventory which match a p\n and color of item on my
want list provide alert message "Item matches to Want List" with optional to
(1) continue to add to inventory no changes to Want list (2) Quantity matches
on WL, show remarks with option to remove from WL (3) User input to change quantity
on WL. Just a quick thought I'm sure there are other considerations to add

| Hello.
In Spain, and in many other countries, there are different regions with different
shipping rates. In spain at least, we have two sets of islands, where shipping
is usually different (more expensive) than to mainland spain.
As for now, I can't set it up for automatic checkout, and i just need to
eat the cost difference if i get an order from there, but it would be nice if
it could be added.
Thank you

| It would be helpful if you could set the colour of items in a Wanted List to
"I don't care" or "any".
Sometimes you want to build something but really don't care what colour the
pieces are; e.g. an internal structure or some sort of technic mechanism; you
just want them to be as cheap as possible.
With this option when you searched stores for parts it would ignore colour, but
still select based on cost and volume etc.

| Hi
I was wondering if was possible, or if it would make sense to stop the visit
count going up when you visit your own store. This would give a more accurate
idea of how many other people have looked at your store.
If I am misunderstanding what it is for please correct me.

| Maybe it’s just me but I’m not sure it’s fair to allow buyers who use the Instant
Checkout feature to leave poor feedback relating to shipping costs. I totally
understand being surprised by a high shipping cost when being invoiced but there
are no surprises with instant checkout. It’s totally in the buyers court to make
the purchase with the costs known up front. Also, if invoicing and the shipping
and handling charges are clear in the terms tab, it should also be removable.
I’d really like to see a change made to the feedback policy that allows for removal
of feedback when the purchase is made through the Instant Checkout function.
It’s not reasonable to allow a buyer to damage the reputation of a seller for
something the buyer agreed to.
I'm underwhelmed with the support from BrickLink as far as feedback is concerned.
If the buyer or seller can show that they are completely without fault BrickLink
should be able to remove feedback that is unwarranted.

| I'm new to the Bricklink community. Probably like many, I was into legos
when I was growing up, then stopped when I reached high school and now have kids
of the right age so I'm getting back into them.
I've bought a few sets of missing pieces so far on Bricklink. What was built
here never ceases to amaze me. It strikes me that one thing that's missing
is a way for creators to make money on their own custom sets. There is a very
old discussion topic on Affiliate Marketing which doesn't look like it went
anywhere. This idea is tangentially related.
It would be great if a builder could encode their design into a bricklink shopping
cart and then when people purchase the legos from the shopping cart or custom
set, the creator of the set could get some referral cost of the legos purchased.
This could give a huge boost to the lego community by empowering creators to
design and sell their own designs and could help increase cost per brick for
the sellers. At the same time, it would allow the common builder access to a
much wider array of sets to build.

| Currently, BrickLink does not support USPS zones, nor has there been any public
indication it is being implemented. Up until now, the ability of Instant Checkout
to calculate correct destination shipping within the USA has been compromised
for Priority Mail (custom packaging), but not for USPS First Class Parcel.
BrickLink has supported the existing USPS First Class Parcel and the existing
"flat rate" Priority Mail boxes (small/medium/large) because zone calculation
was not needed.
With the 27 January 2019 USPS rate change imminent, we (the sellers) have no
automated method of calculating the correct First Class Parcel rates, because
a zone calculation will be needed.
The calculation of zone is documented at DMM 608.9.0 (in it's entirety).
If BL chose not to use the USPS API calls to get the zone number for a given
shipment, it is possible to calculate it based on great circle distances. See
the explanations for more detail.
Since BL has chosen to not use the API callbacks provided by USPS, they have
instead opted for database rate tables (which have to be manually reloaded each
time USPS changes the rates). The current table contains the 2017 rates. It was
never updated to reflect the 2018 rates.

| Hi
It has been quite a while since I joined BrickLink, and for new members is there
any advice/info forwarded when joining (i.e ensure that you read the Sellers
Terms before Buying)
Just had a new member buy 1 part for 50p (UK), for delivery to Slovakia. Didn't
think he would buy once postage etc added.
Just had a message, thought it would be free postage.
Not a problem, as expecting it, but obviously he was not aware or made aware
of how Bricklink works.
Is such a thing in place or could it be added

| Hi,
Thanks for this great service!
As customer, buyer only, I salute the fix done to part adding to wishlist, when
chosing some attribute reset other attribute.
Still, there are several things to be corrected according to my flow.
One would be the moving parts to another wishlist, when some part already exists
in the same colour and a message saying already exists prevents that. I would
need a button added to that message to add the number of selected parts to the
list, if I decide so (meaning I did not duplicated an entry by mistake, but I
need more).
Another is the maintenance page. It overrides the browser's history and I
loose the page were I was. Definitely, in each case, I need to go back to it
when the maintenance is done.
Please take into account these suggestions.
Thank you and best regards,
Mike

| I'd like to be able to search for stores within a specific range (ie 10km,

(in my case) means they could be around the corner or 12 hours way in Thunder
Bay. Being able to search nearby stores would be a fantastic option. It would
be an option to opt into, whereby a store must enable the feature to show up
in nearby store searches. This would allow stores to disable the feature in
case they are uncomfortable with the feature.

| Hi all.
Suggestion ….
Feedback is not always left by the customer. Positive is left most times, and
a customer will always leave negative or neutral if there is something wrong.
One assumes that if nothing is heard from the customer, it must have been delivered
and was ok. Therefore - Can we have an automated positive feedback say after
2 months(or whatever length of time is felt suitable) of order being delivered
for all orders still showing as shipped. It could also be implemented if the
seller has not given feedback.
Thanks

| Some pages use page titles specified, some don't (for instance wanted lists).
I wish we could get better pagetitles (in the tags) programmed. If i
open up multiple tabs of bricklink pages (multiple wanted lists or sets, parts
etc) they all look alike and i have no idea which is which because the site does
not use page titles.
Instead of:
Bricklink - Search your wanted list
I would like to see:
SC Scale Porsche 911 GT3 RS - Wanted list - Bricklink
Pushing the sitename to the end of the page title would already be a helping
factor but you could make better titles.
This would also help the sites SEO, but it's just easier to work with and
use multiple tabs.
my 2 cents/wish.
Thanks for listening

Been a buyer for a few years now.
And I'm starting to use wanted lists.
And while I'm gooding through a store for a particular part, I'll come
across and item listed in one of my Wanted lists.
If I'm at a large store their maybe a few.
It would be nice to have an option / filter to just list parts in your wanted
list(s).
You may decide to get more parts from that sttore than intended.

| Hello everyone!
I'm a long-term buyer on Bricklink, but have recently started to sell here
as well, and I've been looking through all of the various areas of data in
the site (which has been an amazing process), and I haven't been able to
find anything that shows the most commonly sought-after parts -- either by
direct request, or by inclusion on member "wanted lists".
Is there an area or process that is already programmed for the calculation and
display of the most wanted parts by the members?
Or is this a time-crunching labour-of-love process of comparing part quantities
currently for sales vs. sold in the last 6 months, etc.?
Just want to make sure that I'm stocking what people really want to get their
hands on -- aren't we all?
Thanks for any info you can offer!

| Hello!
I mainly take payments by three different methods, PayPal, Stripe and IBAN.
I want to be able to accept any currency possible through Stripe, accept only
Euros and USD on paypal and only euros by IBAN. Currently you need to make a
note for all the payment methods, or only acccept some currencies.
For example, for IBAN, I'm sure that no one would pay in any other currency
than Euros, but I wish I would be able to tell buyers that they can pay in any
currency through Stripe, but not paypal. If I allowed all currencies, I'm
sure that a lot of buyers would mistakenly pay by paypal in other currencies,
even if I specified it in the notes. There is no way to really, automatically,
enforce that.
Thanks.

| Please consider adding an attribute to the lots DB, specifically for parts, that
indicates the part has been custom modified. This could be a physical dimensional
change (e.g. Removing the clip from a plate mod 1x1 with clip vertical, to yield
a basic plate 1x1) or could be parts which have custom engraving to signify events
(e.g. Wedding, engagement, opening of a business, new baby, life milestones,
etc).
The title says 'catalog', but that is slightly misleading. I can't
image actually having a catalog entry for a custom modified part, when in fact
the entire purpose of the attribute would be to use the existing catalog entry
to house these parts, and to allow them to be found/suppressed (as appropriate).
The description would have to contain user entered information about the custom
mod.

| Hi,
In my opinion, during the selection of stores in the panel "buy", the information
on the windows "Confirm Store Selection" or "Edit Store Selection" are not sufficient.
I face 2 main problems :
1) Once I've finished to select sellers, I must create a cart to access the
"notes from seller".
In fact "new" or "used" are not enough detailled. For used parts, these notes
are important because some parts could be used in good condition, or used in
bad condition (for example "yellowed", or "scratched").
Furthermore, by creating carts, I book parts before be sure that their conditions
will fit my needs. And during my check, they are not available for other people.
-- I suggest to add the column "note from seller" in the windows "Confirm
Store Selection" and "Edit Store Selection" (picture "edit store")
2) When I need huge amount of parts ( ~3000 ), during the store selection I don't
find the information of how many required parts a store have for me.
-- In windows "Confirm Store Selection" or "Edit Store Selection", I would
appreciate to have the global value of "Total buying" parts in the current storen
near the total cost. (picture edit store)
-- In the tag "Buy", could the column "Item count" of the stores list counts
only the availables parts I need ? ( if store has parts ID 3001 x4000, but I
need x26, do not count 4000 but 26). (picture "buy wanted list")

| Apologies if either of these have been suggested before, they are huge frustrations
for me.
An annoyance I experience with the Want List main page is having to change the
Sort By from Newest to Alphabetically each and every time I visit the page. I
have over 30 lists and could care less when they were created, I just want to
quickly find the one I'm looking for. So, can the Sort order be permanently
saved or turned into an account preference?
Second, in almost every place that parts are listed on BL (including order details),
one can click on the image to see a bigger version in a lightbox modal... that
is, everywhere except for wanted lists. Please consider making the images there
also lightboxes, because it's cumbersome having to open item detail pages
just to get a better view.
Thank you.

| Hi,
On the "Buy Wanted Lists" page, when choosing a store, the site adds all parts
possible to the first store chosen's cart. Then, once I choose a second store,
it adds all remaining parts to the second store's cart.
Is there a way to choose two (or more) stores at once, and then the site will
distribute the parts between the two stores, choosing whichever store is cheapest
for each part?
(This feature is available on BrickOwl, and really help pull down the cost of
purchasing an entire wanted list there. I'm hoping this is also possible
on Bricklink, but I haven't figured out how to do it if it is).
If you press auto-select then the site does what I am describing, but I don't
always want to use the single solution that auto-select provides (often due to
one stores shipping costs).
If it isn't possible, is it possible to request this from the Bricklink developers?
Thanks,
-Reuven

| Dear bricklink development team,
Currently the "Part Out Value" page shows the value in average, which may not
be accurate if any seller posts an item with very high, or inaccurate price.
To better represent the part out value of a set, we need to add the following
additional metrics:
1. Standard deviation of the Average value shown
2. Median value
3. Breakdown list of all items with the above metrics for each item. Additionally
we would like to see the count for each item.
Thanks

| So we all have want lists, right?
Wouldn't it be cool to be able to take a want list and instead of looking
for stores that have all the individual parts, do a search against "sets" or
multiples of sets that have all the parts on a want list.
Everything needed to make this tool already exists on Bricklink.
Parts want list - check
Sets, parts inventory - check (the part out tool)
This function could be added to the Buy section like the distillers to get from
the fewest stores, or best price etc - add sets to buy that have all the parts.
Then a shopper could shop for complete sets to buy from sellers or determine
that they already have the sets in their own collection to build the MOC they
are shopping for pieces for.
Example: I bought the instructions for the UCS U-wing project by Mirko (Awesome
MOC by the way and beautiful instruction book)
uploaded the parts list 430 different parts 3300 pieces total.
I would love to know if I could buy 4-5 sets to get all the parts I need to build
the UCS U-wing project and the extra pieces could go in my collection. Certainly
there would be a handful of random special pieces to buy separately but it would
be cool to have the option of buying a few complete sets to get the majority
of the parts.
Just a thought and the development cost would be minimal since the hard parts
(set part inventories & want lists) already exist.

| I find it extremely irritating that the two options for the background while
rendering are: No background (renders as a png of only the MOC) and Floor (sets
the floor to a color, the background is black or white depending on light
type, has the bricks reflect the color of the floor as well) Why can't we
have an option that is like floor, but fills the entire background with the selected
color?
Yes, I understand that one could just lay the PNG from no background over a solid
color, HOWEVER, the thing about floor is that the reflected light color being
tinted towards the floor color is really nice, and makes the model seem to glow
the color of the floor.
Additionally, I find it annoying that while picking a color for the floor, there
is not a way to see what color the floor will actually end up looking like after
being lit unless you start rendering.
My suggestions are:
–Add an option for rendering that functions like floor, but fills the entire
background with selected color/
–Add option to see what color the floor/background will actually end up being
once lit, or add an option to lock the floor/background from changing color due
to lighting.
I think these are very much needed especially the first one, the renderer is
slightly dysfunctional without it in my opinion, and there isn't a way to
manually fix it perfectly. The best you can do is smart crop the color of background
out and then the entire image over a solid color that matches the floor. However
this doesn't work if the floor color or the model is too close to the color
black, and even then it really doesn't look that good.
I would very much appreciate it if these changes were made, and I think others
would as well.

| I used Brickstock to Load my stock into the store but the Price Guide that BL
has is a wonderful estimate to what I would do using Brickstock.
However, a piece of the parting out could be pushed to one degree further if
only you were able to have the BL system tell you what the items are that you
do not have.
In the attachment, off of a random set, I have the majority of the lots in my
store, but do not stock 4 of them. This is where it would be wonderful to have
a quick way of knowing what those 4 Lots are. Is there a way this already exists?
The only want I know of to check on this is to run an upload from Brickstock
into BL, take it to the verify screen and review the items that are not being
consolidated. Is there another way that is helpful?
Thank you

| It happens a buyer says he didn't receive the items. When shipping using
an untracked medium, there is no way in verifying if the claim is legit. So I
usually make no fuss and either refund the total order amount (including shipping)
or re-send it (if I have the items in stock).
In these cases, I sometimes get the feeling the buyer might have done this before
and actually has received the items. But as I said: there is no proof, since
no tracking. Then I wonder: "has this buyer done this in the past before with
other sellers?". There is no way in knowing. And that's why I think a buyer
should get some sort of parameter/rating stating the number of orders that were
refunded due to non-arrival. It seems like a small feature. Not really that important,
but if it were there, it would give some extra statistics in the long run as
well.

| Hi all,
I'm not sure if this is requested before, but this is one of the things I
frequently ran into so I thought I'd post it here as a suggestion.
I know that a couple of years ago an improvement was made to Bricklink when adding
a part to your store inventory. If you have the part color selected in the catalog
screen, it would be prefilled in the "add to inventory" screen. I for one was
very happy with that . This also works when clicking a part in the inventory
of a set to go the the part's catalog page; It will be loaded with the color
pre-filled.
It would be great if this functionality was to be implemented in the folowing
cases as well:
1. Clicking from part in store to catalog. When browsing a store, you always
browse parts in a particular color. Clicking the part image in the store shows
a modal window with the part info and a link to the catalog. Clicking that link
will open the parts catalog page, but without a color selected. I use it often
to check how a part in a certain color is priced compared to other stores. Passing
on the color code to the catalog page would be an improvement
2. Somewhat similar is the following case:
Clicking the inventory of a minifig, e.g. C-3PO (https://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemInv.asp?M=sw365)
will give all parts that minifig consists of in their color.
- Clicking the inventory of the torso assembly (https://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemInv.asp?P=973pb1049c01),
will give all parts that torso assembly consists of, with colors for arms and
hands, but no color for the torso part.
I would expect that the torso part has a color as well, seeing that you've
"drilled down" from a specific part in a specific color to it sub-parts, so it
makes sense that the sub parts are displayed in that specific color as well.
Let me know what you all think of these cases and if you feel an improvement
can be made as well.

| Author: | Lauren_Luke | | Posted: | Nov 1, 2018 00:14 | | Subject: | Seller Specific Catalog | 'My Category' Sort | | Viewed: | 68 times | | Topic: | Suggestions | | Status: | Open | | Vote: | [Yes|No] | |
| Goal: Develop a seller customisable category system for each sellers Inventory.
Each seller should be able to go to their Inventory Page [ https://www.bricklink.com/inventory.asp
] and see at the top of the page an extra sorting choice, called 'By My Category'
(?) (see image)
This will sort the Inventory into Sets | Parts | Minifigs | Books | Gear
etc and then into set categories entered by the seller.
This seller specific category is set in the Inventory Add Page [ https://www.bricklink.com/inventory_add.asp
] and the Inventory Detail Page [ https://www.bricklink.com/inventory_detail.asp
]. See images for visual idea.
The sellers store will categorise them using the BL catalog (as usual), only
the seller's view of his/her inventory can only be seen by the seller.
Rollout of this idea and then after new sellers would get the BL categories pre-populated
for their inventories. Any new catalog entries would be pre-populated for sellers'
category system to change at will. Any catalog changes (re-category particularly)
only change in the BL category system but the 'My Category' entry wil
come up in red for the seller (a bit like Storeroom settings).
The 'My Category' feature is lot specific so the seller could have one
part in one category and the same part (perhaps a different colour or condition,
or something else) in another category. For instance, the controversial Beehive...
* | | 35574 Cone 2 x 2 x 1 2/3 with Stacked Rings (Beehive / Cotton Candy)
Parts: Cone |
...could be categorised by the seller as 'Animal, Accessory' for Bright
Light Orange and categorised as 'Food' for the same part but in 'Bright
Pink'.
The 'My Category' entry should be sorted alphanumerically, so the seller
will have to take this into consideration, when setting up his/her system.
Also Bricklink could also monitor how sellers are setting up their category systems
and gain some insight into the best use system. This would complement using this
forum for category ideas and listening to only about a dozen sellers on the forum.
This would help sellers sort their BL inventory the same as their physical inventory
making order processing easier and faster.
A reset function should be provide (after warnings) so the seller can reset his
inventory category system to the same as Bricklinks.
When an order comes in, there should be a setting to see the 'My Category'
with each order entry, so the seller can easily pick the order items.

| This site is already awesome. I've been finding some old sets that I had
long forgotten about, just by finding a few unique parts in our 30+ year old
box of lego still at my parent's house.
I found a wedge shaped classic space part in the box, and from that I was able
to find that it only existed in a few sets. From there, I was able to find the
Sonar Transmitting Cruiser, something that I would have completely forgotten
about had it not been for the uniqueness of that part. I was in fact, able to
rebuild it despite all the pieces being scattered about in the old lego table
for 30 years, with numerous visiting and grandchildren messing around with it
for all this time - with only 2 substituted parts.
Tl;Dr
Anyhow, on to the ACTUAL suggestion
I would like to be able to do a multi part search. Ie if I have part 3xxx (colour
A), 5yyy (colour B) and ... 6zzz (colour X/Y/Z), which sets (if any) contain
all of those pieces? Even partial results would be particularly useful.
This could be implemented perhaps with a search limit of up to 5 peices at a
time, or more depending on an acceptable level of load on the server.

| We are aware that nothing is going on on the classic site whilst the development
team focus on Bricklink XP, so we will make this as short and sweet as we can.
Having contacted the forum and put all elements of this together it is plain
that a subtle but important change needs to be in place for the price guide screen.
Understanding full well what happens with the 'sold at' columns those
can be left as they are until the whole price guide is revisited, whenever that
is going to be. The current items for sale, however needs s small but important
change, in our view. It is currently not possible to determine the currency conversion
rate for those figures. It could have been anyti8me in the last hour or this
hour or whenever.
Please simply add the two fields which are used to convert e.g. for example $1
= 'x' £;s and £1 = 'x$). This will enable any member, buyer or seller,
to at least get their figures correct when working offline. This is not a complicated
change/fix - it merely requires placing those fields on that screen each time
they change. The fields are held somewhere in the system even if it is a temporary
table, so it should be relatively straight forward to display them on the price
guide screen.
Thoughts ?

| Please implement a testing framework for Instant Checkout such that …
1. Any seller can determine a number of test cases to valudate their IC shipping
parameters.
2. Those test cases can each be expresed as a script (textual or GUI object based).
3. The seller can then select all, or a subset of the test cases.
4, The seller can then submit those test cases as a batch request.
5. The BL system will then schedule and run those test cases.
6. The seller will then receive an email back showing which test cases were run,
what shipping methods were allowed, etc. This would be roughly analgous to what
is reported via the shopping cart display.
7. This would not involve actually taking any items out of inventory, nor creating
any real orders, but would be a test case simulation of that.
8. The seller could retain those test cases for later reuse, as various parameters
are modified.

| For sellers that buy their lego by weight a field in the settings where a seller

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.

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 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?

Is there any way to indicate that the list of sellers should only be from 'My

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.

Is it possible when entering a price for new or used, to flag if the price entered

| 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.

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 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.

| Author: | bb1158246 | | Posted: | Aug 20, 2018 19:32 | | Subject: | Uploading minifigs made easier | | Viewed: | 156 times | | Topic: | Suggestions | | Status: | Open | | Vote: | [Yes|No] | |
| 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.

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.

| 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.

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.
