Hmm, let’s see if I understand correctly.
Now, the buyer can search the stores that have the most items for their WLs.
They need to actualize their search from time to time to see if new sellers /
better matches appear.
And you’d want that search to be automatized so that the buyer receive a notification
for their whole WL?
If that’s it, when will that notification be sent? When the WL is X% fulfill(able)?
— If X is too high, many WLs will never have such a notification.
— If X is too low, that could make for a lot of notifications.
Or do you just want the search to be reversed, that a seller actively search
for WLs they can fulfill with their inventory?
Here again, percentage of fulfillment could be what makes it useful or spamful.
Anyway, I’m not sure it’s very different from the already existing WL notification
system except it would be for several parts at once, not one by one.
I rarely use that, indeed because that would cause too many notifications for
common parts and it doesn’t tell me if the seller has other parts, so adding
that multiple parts feature could be interesting. Though I’m not sure I would
opt in: it’s as easy to make a search from time to time.
A related question: Can’t sellers easily see on how many WLs their parts are
so that they can decide when to send notifications?
I mean, do you have to browse all your inventory part by part to have this info?
|
It's sounds like you've been working on it, keep it up!
But, my beautiful gallic friend, as a non seller and not much of a buyer (it
would appear from your history here) I really don't know if I'll take
your advise on this particular question, as earnestly as I would some
others here. You've got no skin in the game, as they say.
But I am glad you came out to play with me again

As long as I could opt out of it, I would be all for it. I don't need sellers
spamming me with offers of things on my want list.

Of course, always the ability to opt-out, I agree.
Very good input, Randy

I think it would rather be on an opt in basis, because doing it by default would
be privacy violation.
|
Agreed.

Frickin Bezos!
Anyway, not a bad idea, when it's based on buyers explicitly choosing to publish their wanted list.
|
Again, agreed, Great idea.
| | Anyway, seller tools was cancelled, so there's not much chance for this
or any other smart suggestion over the past years to see the light of day. Better
to try it over at BO, they certainly like to discuss such ideas and look into
options of implementation.

Well....I don't know BO, but I do know Law. Let's just say, you should
take it up with him, he'll hear it coming from you more than from me

I've always followed a couple of rules that at some point i have read on
these forums:
If you can't find a set - check "Gear"
If you can't find a part - check "Fabuland"
Sets that look like sets, but aren't, are usually gear.

I believe a simple note for each lots of the order with "WL AAAAAAA". I have
also issues remembering why I order some parts sometimes (no, nothing related
to Alzheimer ), especially when it takes a few weeks.
Also, code from cart view could be re-use for order, to have the WL on the left
side, with checkboxes to watch only a subset at a time, inside each indidual
order.
And ultimately the same display with all orders, date filter (+ seller, country
of origin, whaterver filtering you need), order woud be picked according to item

Also if the shipping could be a little easier, I used to prefer the old way of
selecting a country, but I know the change was for auto invoicing etc.
Is there any guide that can help me or suggestions on making things easier?

Even if the order download would include addresses like it does on Brickowl it
would make things simpler. Just download as a CSV and upload into RM click and

You can create a WL from the cart (so just before checkout).
Or simply open the details of your order and there’s a button “Add Order Items

Good idea!
But I need a list where my existing WL are shown after the order is placed (checkout).

There already is a link at checkout for searching your order in your WLs.
And you can do it whenever you want from your WLs with the order number, or
