I'm going through the this situation at the moment, buyer placed an order
for 650 parts and didn't respond to 1st invoice. He then added another 900
parts 3 days later and it's now been 4 days since the second batch. He has
not responded to a second invoice. I didn't pick out the 2nd batch as I had
a feeling it might be a waste of time and marked the order as packed to prevent
more being added. Now I am struggling to keep on top of my inventory as I like
to check I have the correct amounts left as I pick orders.

Now I know there may be a good reason he might not have paid but, as he already
has one negative feedback out of 18 as a buyer my gut feeling is this is a problem
buyer. If I cancel the order at this point to get these 1550 parts back in my
store I am then open to negative feedback. I cannot file a NPB for another 3
days and then wait another week, maybe more before I can recover these parts.

We should be able to cancel an order after 3 days without the risk of negative
feedback.

Change the orderstatus to packed then no new batches can be added.

I think that an option to create coupons in bulk would be very useful.

The submission form could include the basic coupon parameters and then have some
way of selecting the members that will receive the coupon. This could be filtering
options such as everybody over x number of orders, or it could be a text box
where the usernames could be copied and pasted in bulk.

The bulk coupons feature has been terminated because of spamming.

Hi there,

Do you think a feature will be added in which when you part out a set you can
add in how much the set cost and then the system would calculate how much was
paid per piece? It's a pain adding it in individually especially when you
have over 300 items! It would be nice if a feature like this also worked out
how much each part cost based on how much they sell for (depending on if you
picked current average/6 month average etc). For example if you bought a set
for $20 and it had 4 parts equally the cost would be $5, however if two of the
parts average was $10 each and the other two were $1 each having a cost of $5
for each part wouldn't make sense. Having to work that out for each part
by hand is just way too time consuming, but if the system did it on part out
entry it would be awesome.

Use Brickstock to do that.

BrickStock doesn't have an option to calculate / add the MyCost per item.

I've read it's easier to add the costs on Brickstock and upload the file
than entering the costs one by one on Bricklink.

We allow payment both onsite and offsite.
The issue is that offsite payments require the buyers to check the 'red'
paid box.
some buyers (specially new ones) mistakenly take this to mean that their offsite
payment didn't go through and re-submit payment for the second time (sometimes
even after the order was shipped) which creates more work to refund and with
the new paypal policy might also cost sellers extra fees.

It would be great if seller can manually check this paid box and switch it to
green in order to avoid this misunderstanding. i know we can mark the order paid
and shipped but a buyer yesterday in one of many examples wanted to make sure
they paid because they saw the box was red and ended up paying for the second
time.
Thanks for considering.

If you click on the edit order icon you get to change the payment status to paid/not
paid independently of the order status dropdown menu on you orders received page.

Does that help you in the meantime?

Sometimes buyers mark as paid (by ticking the paid box) when they havent - you
can change the status back to not paid on the edit order page in the same way.

I don't think i understand your answer, perhaps if you walk me step by step
then i might be able to understand better.
we change the 'order status'; drop menu to 'paid' or 'shipped'
but the buyer still sees a red checkbox next to the 'paid' checkboxes.
those checkboxed are not showing for me as a seller.
i do understand that buyers can check the 'paid' box even if they didn't
which is a different issue that doesn't really concern me however it would
be nice if the buyer checked the box accidentally if i was able to uncheck it-
but i don't want to sidestep the underline issue i raised initially:
Buyers that paid via link or sent a payment manually are not always aware that
it is up to them to check the 'paid' box to turn it green and mistakenly
think that their offsite payment did not go through and end up paying a second
time.
If i was able to check the box for or before they do and they would see it green
instead of red- it would reduce the occurrences of duplicate payments which has
been happening 1-3 time per month for us.

BricksThatStick is right, with this method you can check that box (separating
payment and order status in the settings and then change the payment status to
submitted or something like that).

But do you really need this? The box means "payment submitted" (not "paid") so
it is by definition a status update that only the buyer can make. The only thing
you can do from your side is verify the payment and update it to "paid". I don't
see why you'd want to update the status to "payment submitted", the buyer
can do this by themselves. The box can't be red if the order status is "paid".

Thank you, i'm going to try adjusting the setting to see if that works.
I agree that the buyer needs to change the box BUT in reality 1-3 times per month
i get a buyer (usually new) that doesn't know that it is their task and probably
believes that the system should have automatically change this to 'green'
paid status. when they see 'red' they believe that the payment they submitted
didn't go through and they pay a second time.

When a seller changes the drop menu to 'paid' or 'shipped' the
buyer still sees the paid box as red indicating unpaid (only when payment was
off Bricklink)
Thanks for taking the time to help, i'll let you know after i go through
the settings section.
Best wishes.

Ah I see, well, in that case it probably won't help much even if you change
it, because in such cases it seems like they are expecting realtime feedback
from the site. I include a standard instruction in my invoice asking buyers to
mark the order as paid after sending payment, might help too.
Probably good if Bricklink would improve the interface a little so that it is
clear for new users they need to do this. Best if it shows up in their to-do
items in the top right corner - that way they'd be more likely to understand
the system and more likely to do it.

Separating payment and order status can be done here by the way:

https://www.bricklink.com/orderSettings.asp?viewFrom=P

I am not 100% sure it corresponds to the checkbox, but I know that the grand
total showing up in a bold font on the seller's side corresponds to a checked
box at the buyer's side.

That does help!! Thank you!
I wonder if when i change the payment status to 'completed' would the
buyers box turn green?

Yes, I have tried both of those. If we had a status of rejected then the system
would need to be programmed to then allow a NPB. I've also reset the status
to pending.

Check the order received page settings to Separate the payment status from the
order status.
Change the Order status from Paid, then you can change the payment status as
none and start the NPB process.

Re: Feature which shows if BL member is active

Topic:

In Suggestions, yapke writes:

Hello,

I was wondering if a feature or timer, to see whether a BrickLink
member is active or has been active (like on FB messenger or WhatsApp), would
be a great idea.

What exactly can be considered as active, logged in or not?

The reason why I'm wondering:
I'm sure there are members who logs in daily to see if another
member has reacted to their order('s invoice)/message, and are nervously
waiting until he/she/they react(s).

Be patient.

It will also be handy to see if a member (who placed an order on your store)
is active on BL and isn't responding to your multiple messages (or just ignoring),
and easier to decide to cancel an order.

If the buyer doesn't respond you should start the NPB-process and complete
it before canceling the order.

For example (my example):
There is a member (USA) who has placed an order on my store (Belgium) a few days
ago. I instantly filled in and sent the invoice to serve him and be able to send
the parcel (after payment) as quickly as possible. But until now, two days later,
he hasn't read the message nor has paid for the order. Now I'm just wondering
if he was active or not lately... cause the hole situation is making me nervous.
I know I should be patient... but I find it kind of weird he responded very quickly
to my last call for buying, and afterwards not responding anymore.

So if you recognize yourself in such a situation, maybe vote 'YES' and
perhaps selling on BL will be more pleasant and more serious. I'm sure there
is a lot of members thinking this way, isn't it?

Kindly greetings,

Yapke

Via check-box option, It would be very handy to be able to restrict part searches

This would be useful when adding to existing open orders (to save on shipping
or small batch orders) - If I know I'm already going to be placing orders
with Sellers A, B, C, & F, and I realise I need some more of a particular part,
being able to see which of those sellers have that part and what they're
chargning for it, is useful since I don't need to go back out to the wider
market (and shipping cost), AND I don't need to go to each open seller's
Store to search on them individually. One search does the trick.

The current Have feature is useless. It's the same as Want.
Easier is to create an Ordered Wantlist and move the items there until they're

I actually find the "Have" feature to be very useful, though I would like an
"Ordeded/Purchased" feature too; I've purchased loads of parts multiple times
accidentally, as I'd forgotten I had already ordered them and didn't
check through my current orders properly. If I could mark wanted parts as "Ordered"
it would save me time. money and storage space.

That's exactly what the Have feature was supposed to do, but it doesn't
subtract anything from Want.

It does though. If you look in your Wanted list it clearly shows how many you
Want and how many you Have in hand. Now go to a store and select Wanted List
it shows sjhows your Wanted Qty (which is original Wanted minus Have).

As for Have - I don't want it

I just checked and it still doesn't subtract Have from original Want.
Usually I don't want to search for the original Want quantity but for new
Want quantity.

You can always use the Contact Store button and inquire about the shipping costs.

Clearly it would save a lot of stuffing around if you know the full cost incl
P&H before hand.
Even better - there should be a little icon or something next to the vendors

It's not possible to differentiate.

In theory you could describe the item as for UK only and mark the item for manual

It would probably lead to issues, because many people don't read. You'll

Hello,

After some time as a buyer, I just opened my store on BrickLink.

At first I was only shipping domestic so I configured domestic shipping method

I am now opening to international sales, so I configured international shipping
methods, but I had forgotten about the international checkbox for PayPal and
did not check it.

I got messages from potential buyers saying they could not checkout because I
had not configured a payment method.

I do not understand how enabling international shipping without international
payment can make sense, so I would assume that anyone who did this made a mistake.

My suggestion is to have BrickLink check for this inconsistent configuration
and at least warn sellers about it, or maybe even prevent it from happening.

Thanks

BrickLink can't know the intention of the seller for certain configurations.
It's the sellers responsibility to make sure that the settings are correct.
There should be a proper way to test settings though.

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

Use instant checkout and instant payment or enable the checkbox for Use instant
checkout for low feedback buyers in the Store settings.

Please consider making a mobile-friendly version of the site. I really love Bricklink,
but the browsing experience is absolutely terrible on a mobile device. E.g. constantly
having to zoom in/out to interact with the website is extremely painful from
a UX perspective.

Alternatively (or in addition to the above suggestion), consider developing a
mobile app. That would be awesome!!

Thank you for your consideration.

A new Bricklink is in development.

Hello!

This might be a stupid question, but how can I search my inventory for parts
that are marked as stockroom items, but has a greater quantity than zero? There
has to be an easier way than going manually through all 30 pages.

-Sebastian

Use the Show extra search options on the right, All Stockrooms, minimum 1 quantity.

Hello everyone,

I'm very pleased to announce that we have appointed a new Inventories Administrator,
to fill in the place that Marek left when he was promoted to Catalog Associate.

For this position we have selected member Paulvdb (Paul), whom many of you may
know as a catalog contributor, inventories contributor, and Forum participant.
He is also an established seller (since 2011, I believe) so many of you may know
him also through that channel.

Paul has distinguished himself especially by his work with older inventories,
sharing many sealed set contents data with the site for some of our precious
old vintage sets. We have found his contributions to be ultra reliable and think
he is going to do very well in this new role.

Congratulations are in order!

Russell

Welcome and congratulations to you Paul.

Bricklink should implement something in Studio where you can group pieces together.
so that if you were making a robot mask or a robot leg you could make it and
group the pieces together so that they can be easily moved around without highlighting
the entire thing and making mistake in the process.

You can suggest it in the dedicated stud.io forum

We have some great news for our catalog contributors - we have promoted Hygrotus,
one of our current Inventories Administrators to a new position, Catalog Associate:

https://www.bricklink.com/memberAdmins.asp

The Catalog Associate position is the same in terms of privileges as our former
Catalog Admin position. However, it is only a temporary position that we will
use as a stepping stone to the new Catalog Admin position, which will include
both catalog and inventories privileges plus a few other things.

Marek recently completed one year as an Inventories Administrator:

and has done an excellent job. He has brought steadiness and reliability to our
admin team and we look forward to seeing what he will do now on the catalog side
of things. Please welcome him to this new position!

Russell

Welcome Hygrotus👍

It would help if the price guide had an option to display qty avg sales by my

of having the prices dragged down by someone in Europe who selling parts bought

You can change it to only view the prices of your country:
On Price Guide Detail Current Items for Sale Include only Items in Stores which
are Located:

Hey there, hope your all doing well!

I wanted to run an idea by you guys see what you think, I think it would be really
beneficial and helpful. In the price guide, for any particular set, you can see
the purchase history ( which is awesome). I was thinking, would there be a way
to add which country an item sold in? I feel like that would give us sellers
an idea where an item is hot, and compare that with the pricing. Anyways I think
it would be great, let me know what you think

Hello, I saw a problem regarding catalog view. I cant's see all color variants
listed on sale. When I add a brick in a unique color, it does not appear to me
on the list of bricks available for sale. Does anyone know what the reason is?

Are you looking under "all" or "known" colors?

Hi, no mater what will I choose card Color info and Lots For Sale doesn't
show all available color variants. I guess I can see only "Popular" colors. Do
you know how it change?

Do you have a filter in place?
Not all known colours are available for sale, and will not be visible in the
list with colours for sale.

Hello, i have no filter, but still can't see all colors listed for sale in
general color info tab. I have many rare pieces in unique color variants, all
of them are listed in my store but I guess nobody can't see it. It doesn't
change even If i log out or change the browser, computer etc, etc. Any ideas
how to fix it?

Are they in one of your Stockrooms instead of available?

Hello, all pieces are available on sale. For example I have 2903 wheel in LBG
color but color info tab doesn't show it. You can find it only visiting my
store.

The part appears here in the items for sale:
https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=2903#T=S&C=86&O={"color":86,"ss":"NL","rpp":"50","iconly":0}

How hard would it be a include elements in pages to educate users on the best

Why is it not possible to search for 2, 3 or more items at the same time ?

Often I am looking for more than one minifig and would like to buy them all from
the same store. I can only search for one minifig and manually have to check
each store if they also have the other minifigs I am looking for.

So please: Make it possible to search for multiple items across stores so results
can come up with store that have all the items looked for. It would be a time
saver of gigantic porportions.
