Not possible, despite it making complete sense. In fact on every webstore I've
used I get a billing and delivery address, even the certified store has that
here so it is nothing strange.
You will have to continue changing the address here every time

I do not think sellers can see your history any longer so it is just inconvenient.

We agree - it is strange and very old fashioned. It is a strong reason why we
do not use stores where online payment (paypal is used) the addres validation
does not work properly.
We need at least 2 addresses . We can have as many addresses as we need on Paypal
why not here?

We share your issue with 2 locations for our store but nothing like this is going
to be done until the new owners are in and settled and reach out to the membership
for priorities etc.

That’s what Wanted Lists are for.
When you have made a Wanted List, go to the Buy page ( https://www.bricklink.com/v2/wanted/buy.page
).
Select your WL and it will show you all the stores that have some (or all) your
wanted items.
There are many options on the page.

If you create a wanted list then visit a shop you can then view the wanted items
that the shop has available

Thank you for sharing.
I was wondering why Swanberg's account retained the name. Since major contributors
will not be turned into blusers at some point, then I feel much better about
the whole thing.
I don't want to be a bluser.

Recently there was a secret clearing-out of old BrickLink accounts, presumably
related to the site sale to TLG. No information was released, but members noticed
that the number of registered users suddenly dropped dramatically.
The criteria for removing accounts was not shared, but I assume it was based
on the last time a member logged into the site. So perhaps if a member had not
logged in for five years, for example, their account was deleted (or, if not
deleted, somehow removed from the list of registered users).
Around the same time I noticed these Bluser accounts as contributors. I didn't
connect the two events until today when I looked at the contributions page for
inventories and figured out what was going on. The site needed to maintain credit
for catalog work completed, but with accounts deleted/disabled there was no username
to credit.
Note that this page, last updated in 2010, claims that accounts cannot be deleted
if certain conditions have been met. Some of those conditions are contributing
to the catalog:
https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=129
So certain accounts were renamed, although it doesn't look like they were
deleted. Not sure why they needed to be renamed, since this was all done (as
usual) in secret.
Here's what the Bluser accounts mean:
BLUSER_40105 = BrickLink USER ID 40105
All of the above is pure speculation, but it is based on reasonably solid logic.
Hope it helps.
|
Many accounts were recently deactivated if they had not logged in for a considerable
length of time (several years). In order to preserve the integrity of the catalog
and database in general, the accounts were not deleted, but were fully anonymized
instead.
If people choose to reactivate their account, their old username will reappear
on their account just as they were originally. All they need to do is follow
the instructions on the email they were sent. We may change the BLUSER_######
format in the near future to be less conspicuous on catalog credit pages. Probably
something lowercase, not so predictable, and shorter.
Many historic accounts, such as major contributors or Dan's own personal
account were intentionally untouched by the process.

I think you are reading too much into it. Your username is a way to personally
identify you. Users in certain regions have the legal right to request that you
delete all personal information about them. Anonymizing the user id of people
that have requested to be unregistered from the site is a way to keep the contributions
made while removing the personally identifying information. I doubt there is
a mechanism to anonymize anyone that hasn't explicitly requested to be unregistered.

"As online privacy concerns continue to be taken more seriously, we are starting
to develop policies and procedures for handling private information in a responsible
and transparent manner. This has nothing to do with the sale of the site, as
these policies have been under development (slowly) since the early part of 2019."

I do wonder about the official Q&A that never happened, but cleaning house takes
precedence.
Your (previous) username is in the Hall of Fame.

|
| I am in total agreement that 2 weeks is too long. I don't know any place
else that waits 2 weeks for payment before cancelling. My inventory is tied
up constantly. Most of the time it's a 0 feedback buyer or an international
buyer that doesn't like the shipping charges (even though they are clearly
posted). They don't respond. It's so frustrating. If for some reason
you don't want the order please contact the seller. We should be able to
file a NPB after 3 days and cancel 4 days later. 1 week total. I think that
is way more than enough time to pay for your order. Why are we giving people
7 days to pay before we can even file the NPB? It's ridiculous.

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
|
I completely agree, 7 days to open, 3 days to close, with or without a response.
If they have time to respond they can use that time to pay. If they can't
afford to pay, they shouldn't have made the purchase to start with.
Also, to those sellers who simply cancel and move on, you're leaving yourself
open to a retaliatory negative FB and enabling a NPB to continue doing the same
thing to other sellers. I have inventory held hostage right now for a NPB, despite
the fact his FB clearly shows this is a habit. If those sellers had used the
NPB process, as they should have, he would have been suspended and my inventory
would be free right now.

Yes they can leave a neg, but 90% of the time it a a zero feedback buyer doing
this. When they get the negative back from the seller they will find themselves
at -1 and find it much more difficult to buy from anyone.
|
Yes 90% of the time it is zero or low FB buyers, but that really doesn't
matter, it's still an undeserved blemish on your record. This is strangers
dealing with strangers, IMHO your reputation is just as important as your customer
service and parts quality.
| |
And I do agree that I am making the problem worse by not following the process,
but the process just plain sucks and I'm not wasting my time dealing with
it.
|
You're right, the NPB process sucks, but it's all we have right now,
so we have to deal with it. Otherwise NPB's are going to continue wasting
our time and tying up our inventory for nothing.
| |
I wish I could figure out the instant payment for the single boxed sets I sell.
I know exactly how much they will weigh and how big the shipping box is for each
sealed set I have. But I am just too stupid to figure it out. I really wish it
would just calculate it for me like ebay does. I'm considering actually just
offering free shipping and having instant payment but I would be buried so far
in the listings I would never be seen.
|
As for IC, haven't even tried so IDK. I pull and recheck every part, weigh
and manually send invoices. I want to know everything is perfect and correct
before invoicing and shipping. Actually if they implement their proposed changes
it seems we'll be forced to use IC, which is why I've started exploring
other options. It sucks, I've been here a long time and really like it,
but if or when they do force it on us I'll be closing my store and moving
on. This nonsense of if they payed too much you have to refund, if they paid
too little you have to eat it, doesn't work for me.

Yes, your bluser number can be seen by going to your Account Info page. The
second bit of information there is titled User ID. That's your bluser number.
Someday in the distant future, when we're all dead, they'll eject us
from the system and make us blusers, too. Not too fond of the idea, as I'd
rather be remembered as StormChaser, not BLUSER_13161.
Doesn't matter what I want, though.

I find using BrickStock to be much easier to track personal inventory. If you
do want to use Bricklink.com then you can create a store and keep it closed all
the time but add your personal inventory to it.

You could setup a store and keep it closed. If you did want to sell stuff you
could keep your collection in one of the stockrooms. You could also use the Brickstock
program and keep your inventory on your local machine.

I do this by a set of wanted lists where I set number of items equal to the number
of items I want. Not the perfect solution, but it works OK.

I hope I am in the right place.
Is there any reason why Collectible Minifigure's instruction books are inventoried
as each specific minifigure when all instruction books are the same?
This causes confusion for buyers (and annoyance for sellers) who think they are
getting the specific minifigure's instruction booklet when it will just be
a generic book.
So when parting out a CMF, instead of:
(Instructions) for Set col19 Video Game Champ, Series 19
It should read:
(Instructions) for Series 19 Collectible Minifigure
Just my 2 cents... thanks!!

The way the system is built, the intructions and packaging for a set are a property
of the set, like the weight and dimensions. So more than one set cannot share
the same instructions or packaging.

Please add "Maximum number of parts" as a Package restriction in the shipping

If are you having trouble getting the orders that are over ~350 grams in an actual
envelope set your shipping to go to package after that weight is the issue. The
site doesn't control this you do. Figure out weight wise what you can fit
and then adjust your settings.

| I have a model I designed in 2017 that has 1,600+ parts. I updated the model
in 2020, adding about 150 parts and simplifying the design considerably. However,
I think 80% of the parts are the same between the 2 versions. I'd like to
be able to compare the wanted list from the two models to see what I already
have so that I only order the difference.

You have requested the exact same quite a while ago:
https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1062347
Like then, I still don't see the issue. If someone places an order for 500
1x1 plates, this will definitely fit Canadian lettermail. I can also easily ship
at least 800 1x1 bricks as lettermail.
Your order of "500 parts" what did it consist of exactly?
Niek.

Use the "Expand" button nearby "Store Filter" to use more filters.
So you can select the store location. You can sort by a specific country, a region
or anywhere.

Use Auto-select on the Buy page ( https://www.bricklink.com/v2/wanted/buy.page
). It has more options.

| I recently dowloaded my orders in Excel format here:
https://www.bricklink.com/orderExcel.asp?orderType=received
I've done this before but I am now making a concerted effort to import this
into my own database primarily for tax purposes. I just realized that the process
imports every field except for Tax. Surely this was an oversight since the tax
field was added later. However it is frustrating because it means I still have
to manually search out every Minnesota order manually to calculate my total 2019
sales tax collected.
Surely this will be an easy fix and it can be corrected promptly!
Thank you,

We used to have the ability to do this with a shop's listings, too. You could
see what parts from a set were for sale at any shop. That feature broke when
the site was redesigned and has not been fixed. It would be nice to have it back.

Actually add a few blank ones, make it country specific with country specific
shipping methods and allow for direct QR codes and links. Or better yet - just
allow sellers in countries other than the USA to also use payment methods that
are relevant to their own circumstances even if it is miles ahead of what is
avaialable in the USA. If we can have onsite payments for paypal and stripe,
there should be no earthly reason for other methods not to be enabled as well.

Although that only works for orders that have not been purged - so six months.
An alternative is to search through emails for past orders, although part numbers
are missing in favour of names.

thank you, I had hoped to see historic orders too as I've been buying for
years and want to avoid buying duplicate figures without searching through my
collection. maybe I need an inventory of items I own.
