Reduce the size of your graphic - if it is too big you make BrickLink have 500

  It's awesome!!
Why couldn't I find it, special assembly??
And very thanks for the link and new world!!
have a nice day!!

It doesn't work at all well at the moment. You have to know one exists to
find it. Or you can look through the inventory of every set, and right down the
bottom under counterparts you will find the assembly(ies) if it(they) exists.


Or browse https://www.bricklink.com/catalogList.asp?catType=P&catID=961

Must the item be in hand for it to be added and inventoried?

  Does any experienced Bricklinker know anything about using BrickStock to
upload to Bricklink? There are so many options on Bricklink for concatenating
items and such which I don't understand. Let's say I have five 1 x 2
black bricks in my store in location 75 which was noted in a remark and four
black 1 x 2 bricks that are in my store, but don't have a remark. How can
I consolidate an upload of three 1 x 2 black bricks into the lot without the
remark to cut down on the amount of lots I have?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Stud City Bricks

If you upload with Brickstock, a lot gets consolidated with a lot already in
your inventory only when the both the remarks and the comments are 100% the same.

So if you have 1 lot with no remark, 1 lot with 75 in the remark and you upload
a new lot with no remark, it will consolidate to the lot with no remark.

If you upload a new lot with a remark set to 74 it will make a new lot so you
will end up with no remark, 75 and 74 as lots.

I got away from the remarks feature awhile ago precisely because loads of lots
frustrates me a as a buyer, it is clumsy to use as a seller and does not always
have the desired result. Took me 4 months to clean up my inventory and get all
those remarks removed and reduce the number of lots.

Incidentally, you can also manually fix your lots by going here:
https://www.bricklink.com/inventory.asp
tick the "non-unique" box on the right under "Search my Inventory" and click
go. This will show you every lot which has a different comment/remark/stockroom/reserved
or a combination of all of those.

Old problem - use this link to frequently check if your store returns 0 quantities
or negatives.

https://www.bricklink.com/search.asp?viewFrom=sa&qMax=0&pMin=.01&itemBrand=0&itemType=P&searchSort=P&sz=25

I should think stores with this problem should just delete those lots. Of course
it would help if some admin somewhere could alert the respective stores, sigh.

  Good morning and Greetings from Germany

Tonight I got that order as shown. Every ordered part is physically in my shop
and I can do the order without problems.

But of course, I'm kind of scared about the negative quantity left?!?

With kind regards,
Florian

Nobody to comment on this?

  I had enough of these in the last few weeks that waiting 2 full weeks is painful
to complete them.

I don't mind the 1 week to pay before it is started. But another full 7 days
to complete the NPB is not necessary.

I would propose 3 additional days and that is it. Let us get our stock back
in our stores to sell to someone else instead of being held at our will for 14
full days when 10 is plenty enough.

I can't be the only one that feels this way and 14 days might have worked
10-15 years ago when access to Smart-Phones wasn't as widespread, but these
days, you can't go far without having the ability to respond. Thanks



This is exactly why I just cancel the order and never file NPB. It just takes
two long. 2 weeks is insane. It shouldn't take a week to pay. It shouldn't
take more than a few days to pay, if you don't have the money don't order
stuff, pretty simple. I know a lot of buyers are getting let off the hook by
this but I don't have the time or patience and I don't want my inventory
constantly tied up for a fortnight. I just cancel the order ban the buyer and
move on.

Once again a constant thread and everyone agrees with it except Bricklink for
some strange reason. Why should we have to let our inventory be tied up for two
weeks or longer when someone isn't going to pay for their order.

Bring the business side of the site into the 21st century, please - IC doesn't
work for all and for those that do not use it this is a real pain and totally
unnecessary.

And while we are at it, as a buyer, how come an NRS can tie up my buying money
for three weeks!? If a seller is not interested in selling, can I not please
just cancel the order myself after 3 days and go somewhere else? This is the
one part of Bricklink I have always found very unfair to buyers.



As a buyer you can file a paypal claim or a chargeback with your bank. Sellers
have no options except the npb system

?? If the seller has not invoiced, how do I have a claim? Because of exchange
controls I've had cancellations cost me 26% of the order value after three
weeks, with still no invoice from the seller concerned and no way to cancel and
move on except to wait it out.

Bear in mind also, BL is a contracts based systems, so even if a seller invoice
on day 20, he can still start an NPB after 7 days, irrespective of the time he
took to invoice or even if the buyer's circumstances have changed. Imagine
a wait of two weeks for an international order and exchange rate drop of 10%,
making the order 10% plus rate pips more expensive for the buyer. These are not
the most extreme examples.

Sellers also can cancel irrespective, buyers have to request a cancellation as
a favour from a seller who is not responding, go figure.
