| I think shipping cost for items should be on this site. Because I love clicking
on an item and expecting to see the shipping cost. ONLY TO SEE NOTHING EXCEPT
A TBD. I WANT TO SPEND MONEY IT IS REALLY THAT HARD TO JUST SHOW WETHER OR NOT
THE SHIPPING PRICE IS ON THE ITEM ????????????????????????????????????????????????

| I have verified payments from buyers in PayPal, but the order status has not
updated to "paid", and I can't manually change it. I used to be able to do
this. Did you guys change this feature. Also can't change to shipped once
I do, please advise.

| Hi there,
Is it possible to have a feature added to a sellers inventory in which everything
or selected catagorys can be update all at once to average pricing like on the
price guide? You can put sales on and increase and reduce prices by a certain
percent but not all items in that catagory will have gone up or down the same
amount so being able to put everything to this average pricing would be handy.

| Hi there,
It would be really good if in the sellers store shipping settings page we could
add in a automated message. For example I have a shipping option which is 'I'm
still shopping' it would be good if when someone selected this option it
automatically sent them a message like 'thanks for your order, please message
us withing 7 days to say you have completed your order so we may invoice you'.
It would save a lot of time from having to write them out for each individual
order. Even better would be if this whole shipping option was avaliable for all
sellers to select and turn on instead of making a shipping option and having
to put in prices (in which mine is 0 until the order is done then worked out
manually).

|
| Hi,
As a BrickLink buyer, I would like to make some suggestions to improve the GUI:
1. It would be great to be able to search for parts in all my orders.
2. In the orders, I would like to keep the ID# of each part. Currently,
only the name of the part is kept.
3. I would like to "prioritize" my Wanted Lists, maybe in two categories
to keep it simple: "priority" and "non priority". Thus, when I shop, I can focus
on the "priority" lists to buy their missing parts, and then potentially add
additional parts to already ordered parts if common with "non priority" lists
(that's what I do manually, currently).
4. In a Wanted List, in the search options, I would like to be able to save
my usual search parameters, i.e. :
- 100 items per page
- "Hide Items if Have Qty is ≥ Want Qty"
Currently, I have to painfully redo this each and every time I browse my Wanted
Lists.
5. 100 items per page is not enough. 1,000 would be cool, so that there
is a good chance to see all parts in one page (in a Wanted List, in a shop, etc.)
6. In a shop, when you look at a part, BrickLink indicates just below
in a grey line some useful information:
- In which Wanted List this part can be found
- The total wanted and have quantities
a) It would be great to have also an indication of the quantity currently
in orders not yet received.
b) It would be great also to be able to click on or fly over "In XX Wanted Lists"
to see the actual names of the corresponding Wanted Lists.
7. a) In a shop, it would be cool to have a "Max" button on the right
hand side of the "Add to cart QTY" field, to directly fill the field with
the max quantity available in the shop. I know there is the "Min/Max" feature
at the top of the page, but they apply to all fields in the page, not part by
part.
b) By the way, it will not apply to other pages of the search, which is a pitty,
because we need to move from page to page in the search to do the operation as
many times as there are pages.
8. + and - buttons are way too small in the QTY fields. They are also
too close one from each other, so you can easily erroneously click on the wrong
one. Maybe if possible, make the buttons bigger, and put one on the right of
the cell, and one on the left, for instance.
9. Tab key should go to the next identical field in the page. For instance,
if my cursor is in the HAVE QTY field of a part, typing Tab should send me to
the HAVE QTY field of the next part in the list.
10. In the Wanted Lists, I would like to be able to "lock" the "Want" fields,
so that I cannot erroneously modify them while I modify the "Have" field just
below. Maybe a simple tickbox in the preferences of the Wanted List to protect
this field would be great.
11. It would be great to be able to present the parts in a "mosaic" view,
like what ReBrickable does. This would be convenient to print in a condense way
the list of parts we are looking for, and maybe keep it with us while going to
the Pick-a-Brick Wall in a Lego shop, for instance.
12. Export functions could be improved:
a) put the full name of the parts with its color name in REMARK XML field, for
instance
b) allow to export all or a selection of Wanted Lists at once, adding the names
of Wanted Lists in the REMARK XML field, for instance.
c) add export functions to orders
What do you think?
Thanks in advance for your feedback.
Kind regards,
Jonathan

|
| Hi,
I'm using BrickLink as a Lego builder, buying regularly missing parts to
complete two dozens of sets in the form of Wanted Lists.
A great improvement to the tools provided by BrickLink web site would be to be
able to match ordered parts with my Wanted Lists.
For instance, we could imagine to list below each ordered part in an order the
same part wanted in all my Wanted Lists, with integer fields (with +/- buttons)
to allocated the ordered parts to the Wanted Lists.
Thus, once I've allocated ordered parts to my Wanted Lists, I will be able
to shop again without buying parts already ordered.
In addition, it could be even greater to make a distinction between ordered
parts allocated to Wanted Lists (not yet received) from actually received parts.
It means that for a part added to "Have" in a Wanted List, we could add a status
"ordered" or "received".
What do you think?
Thanks,
Jonathan.

| Hello there. Could be possible please, to add the Costa Rican Colón (CRC) among
the other supported currencies in Bricklink? It can be helpful when pricing the
shipping cost is not compatible with the USD since the fees given by the local
post service are in CRC and thus this wouldn't make possible to create an
onsite payment. Thank you very much.

| This may not have been an issue previously, but due to COVID-19, I am weary of
buying from international sellers as a result of reduced flights to and from
certain countries. I say that because through no fault of the seller, 5 of my
orders have been delayed by 2 months now. I still have no idea when / if I will
receive them.
The sellers I've dealt with have all been great (even with a language barrier)
but as a purchaser moving forward, I think it would make sense to see feedback
based on geographic location.
For example, if I'm a US buyer and I want to make a purchase from a store,
I've been finding that I go to the feedback, click on the person who left
the feedback and see where they are located. Doing that is entirely manual and
cumbersome. It would be so much easier to filter the feedback from a specific
location and I can see the most recent orders and feedback from that person by
on location. If they have plenty of US buyers, I can make an educated decision
about parcels still being shipped and reliability of those orders making it to
their destination.
Maybe others won't find that helpful, but as someone from the US that has
not received 5 of their orders, seems like a great way to find feedback from
others in my same area to make me feel more confident in buying from overseas
sellers.
Even after COVID - I think that feature makes a lot of sense.

| Can we please have a function to search for items in our inventory with no catalog
dimensions? We already have one to search for weight, but not dimensions for
some strange reason.
I'm getting tired of bulky items sneaking through Instant checkout at letter

|
| My wanted list is "foldered" into sets, Minifigs, and parts among other things.
I have some families in there that deserve their own folder but that I still
want under their respective set, Minifig, or part umbrellas. I really think there
should be a way to create a folder within a folder which would further categorize
items and make it much easier to organize and buy.
I would also like to see:
- The ability to move entire folders instead of their contents
- The ability to rename the default wanted list and give it a more appropriate
name for whatever's inside (It's empty for me and is a waste of space
as a result)
Why not continue it to be more layered and intuitive? Not that it isn't already,
I especially love the "Buy All" feature which saves me from an otherwise insufferable
hunt for stores that fulfill my list. These are just things I think would help
make it even more user-friendly.

| I don't know the proper place to post this but I have a question about order
received settings.
I see 12 ways to sort items but not really any that sort by item number. I would
like
Condition - Category - Item Number - Color Name
Do most sellers sort by category than number? It seems like that makes most
sense. It would be nice then, if orders could be sorted that same way.

| The functionality to request to remove items from an order, generates an email
to the buyer with this request.
Email is fine!
However, the action that the buyer needs to take (accept or reject, I guess)
is not in that email! It's absolutely unclear where the buyer can accept
this change!
In short: put a functioning link in that email that points to the action(s) that
need to be taken please. I still haven't found where to accept the request.

|
| With the recent changes re. the order statuses, is it possible to prevent buyers
from setting an order as Complete BEFORE the seller has set the order as Shipped?
Many sellers follow their own protocols when processing orders, and orders that
show up as Complete even before they've actually been pulled can really throw
a spanner in the works.

Could there be a way to remember the last choice?
Or change the default setting for the user?
I prefer to see it in alphabetical order, because it makes it faster to find

| I expect you have heard about the inaccuracies of part lists before.
Since bricklink is now part of Lego, perhaps the bricklink part lists for sets
cold be compared with the Lego lists and corrected as necessary. I expect most
of this could be done with a computer program although it would be nice if one
could get accurate part lists for all those really old sets that one can find
in a friend's great grandfather's attic.
Thank you.

|
| There is an app online called "Set Finder" (http://www.spoofdata.com/setfinder/?id1=6144805)
which allows the user to enter the part number for several parts then the app
will suggest sets that contain those parts. It is not very user friendly and
part numbers are difficult to determine. The part numbers need to be complete
with colour code (sensible for logically reducing the number of possible sets)
but the numbering systems are not very well explained. In addition there are
different numbers for similar parts e.g. "2 x 4 Brick Red" has at least two different
numbers. I think there is an overlap between parts in older sets that have a
different number than newer sets but it can be quite frustrating.
Perhaps this is a function in bricklink which I have not yet discovered. I rarely
Use "Part Out" so perhaps it is there or if not perhaps that would be a good
place to add the "Set Finder " function.
Thank you.

|
| Hi,
According to BL's TOS you must be of legal age or 18 at least to register.
That is completely understandable from the buying/selling point of view.
But what about a junior account without the privileges to buy or sell?
Kids could browse the catalog, make wanted lists - maybe "publish" them or somehow
share them with "proper" users (e.g. parents) and get used to the platform.
This would lead younger users to BL without being "illegal" and without the chance
to make "bogus" orders or other interference with the "business" on this site.
Just an idea as my daughter is building a lot of stuff in Studio and would like
to create her own wanted lists in BL and is generally interested in this site.

| Hi,
today I received payment for two orders in "ready" status. So I went packing
them and after that I drove them to the post office right away. Upon my return
I wanted to set these orders directly to shipped. - Not possible - had to set
them to packed first, save, and then to shipped and save again. Just a minor
issue compared to other ones already mentioned but still annoying.
The orders would have been in "packed" for less than 15 minutes. Why make this
mandantory?

| Do not restrict the ability to send invoices in any order status. The statuses
were implemented for seller convenience and different sellers use different processes.
Further, there are times when I want to send multiple invoices, for example if
the buyer wants to change shipping type. I shouldn't have to fiddle with
the order status repeatedly to get to where I can send an invoice.

| I have no idea if this is something that is doable... (I mean, on this site,
I am sure it CAN be done) but a lot of people who buy large collections often
are faced with an issue of finding a partially built set they cannot identify.
To that end, it would be amazing if there was a search available where you could
pick say, 10 or more pieces (would likely pick the least common pieces you
see on it) and enter those and have the results display only the sets that contain
all of those pieces.
Right now, I am sitting on a large number of partial sets and while some are
much easier than others to identify, others are just impossible.
This would be a massive help!

|
| Personally I don’t think we should lose the term minifigure because it’s very
key to how we and Lego describe the majority of their figures and at the moment
there are talks about Minfigs category being changed to ‘Figure’ and possibly
including everything from Lotso Bear to Baby Groot
I did discuss a solution here:-
https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1192727
but I think it may have become a bit lost in the rest of the debate but I would
be interested in others thoughts on this or whether the term minifigure is even
still important or what minifigure should refer to going forward?
Here is my original suggestion:-
“On the subject of categorizing figures in general I think breaking down some
of this stuff might make more sense than renaming Minifigs to Figures and then
piling everything into the same place.
It’s a difficult one but I guess you have to start with defining a minifigure
and at the moment I can only think of two ways of doing this where by you define
it by Size after all a clue is in the word MINIfigure which does unfortunately
leave a lot of ambiguity or better still you define minifig by the fact it usesa
Torso Assembly?
Torso Assembly may be a good clear cut way of defining a minifig because almost
all traditional minifigs from a Dementor to a Lord Garmadon use the all-important
standard Torso design that holds a minifig together and its probably the one
key part that really defines what a minifigure looks like when we think of a
minifigure and with that in mind you could categorise as Follows:-
Minifigure – Anything that uses the Standard Torso Assembly design
Modified Figure – Anything from droids, to brick built Droids, to Skeletons and
stuff like Gollum, Slimer, Unikitty, Scurrier, Scooby etc..
Microfigure – Anything very small consisting of a single or maximum of two parts
such as Baby, Baby Yoda, Palpatine Hologram, Baby Groot, Trophy figures and all
those game figures etc..
You are then left with things like Cave Troll, Big Hulk etc. which can either
go under ‘Modified Figure’ or a separate ‘Large Figure’ Category?
Likewise are animals/creatures separated so that Polar bears, Wargs and Horses
go under ‘Modified Figure’ and stuff like baby dinos, spiders and snakes under
‘Microfigure’ or do they have their own ‘Animal category’?
Lots to think about....”

| One preference that I think might be useful to add to Studio is the ability to
have the Viewpoint move towards where the Mouse is located as you Zoom In or
Zoom Out (using the mouse roller for example.)
Panning the screen does not work very well for me (my mouse roller button is
twitchy) which makes me have to Pan the screen using 2 hands. There may be a
good CAD reason Not to do this, but if you could move the mouse over an area
and have zooming in and out zero in on the location of the mouse, having that
preference I think that would be handy. Basically Mimic the way the big online
Map programs work.

|
| Here are a couple Preference options I'm suggesting be considered.
First, when I open one of my Wanted Lists, it Always defaults to 25 items per
page. Most of my Wanted Lists are larger than that and I have to Change the
default size every time (so that I can see everything on 1 screen). With internet
speeds the way they are today, 100 items pop up quickly. I would like to see
the number of items per page be an option that is remembered. (In fact, in general
I would like to see number of items per page be a preference saved across Bricklink.)
Secondly, along these lines, I would like to see a few more preferences saved
when I select a part. Specifically, a lot of times I have to click "More Options"
and I always have to select "Seller Location". I would like to see both of those
as saved options so I don't have to select them every time I bring up a new
part.
Thanks for your consideration!

|
| At least once each day, I have a buyer who either places a second order and pays
for shipping a second time or emails about needing to make an addition to their
paid order.
I'd like to suggest a new feature be worked into the checkout process. If
a buyer places an order in a store which they currently have another order that
is not in the Packed, Shipped, Received, or Completed status, the orders either
be combined or flagged in some way to alert the seller. If would also be helpful
if the checkout of the second order took into consideration any postage already
paid on the first order.
I keep my domestic shipping simple. Spend up to $50, pay $5 postage. Spend $50-$100,
pay $10 postage. Spend over $100, get free shipping. On a system like mine, it
would be very easy to recognize if the buyer needs to pay more in postage, has
already paid enough, or would potentially get a discount back from postage already
paid.
The buyer shouldn't have to do any extra work if they want to order more
from a store that hasn't yet shipped their order. And I'm getting a little
tired of issuing duplicate postage refunds and checking to see if a buyer has
another order. What may be a few hours later for a buyer could be another page
for the seller.

| I'm relatively new here, but I have about 10 purchase orders completed and
on-the-go right now. I'm not finding Bricklink overly intuitive to be honest
but I haven't goofed since my first order.
So I understand committing to a purchase. As soon as I place an order I take
the seller's item off the market which means a potential lost sale (or more
likely a delayed sale) if I don't follow through.
However, as a buyer, I now find myself in a position where I've committed
to purchase something from a non-responding seller. It has been a week and I
haven't heard a single response. The store's terms do not mention anything
about possible slow response times. I'll consider this my second goof because
I didn't pay attention to the fact that the store also had no selling history
(only purchase history). Fine.
So now I can post an NRS in an attempt to cancel my order -- but now my understanding
is that I have to wait another 2 weeks for it to be truly cancelled! There is
a really good chance that I'll miss out on picking up this item at a reasonable
price from another store during that time. If the seller doesn't come through,
I might now have to spend a lot more to get this item. On the other hand, if
I choose to buy from someone else the original seller could come in at the 11th-hour
and still ding me as a non-paying buyer (at least that's my assumption on
how this works). Right now, I'm thinking I should just take that chance.
Unlike the store who has potentially limitless buyers, item availability is
*definitely* limited and prices just tend to go up over time.
Personally, I think that if a seller doesn't respond within a minimum time
(and I think a week is plenty) a buyer should be given the option to simply cancel.
Maybe it's something the store could configure so buyers can be made aware
of stores that are not managed frequently. If the seller has at least acknowledged
the buyer during that time, then perhaps different rules could apply.

| Hi there,
Maybe this idea has been launched by other people.
But I regularly come across items that are not labeled as "incomplete", therefore
at first glance you assume they are complete, but reading the description you
quickly discover the item is not complete (i.e. "missing minifigs and weapons,
otherwise complete"). Which I would argue, is clearly a case of *not complete*.
As a user I would like 1) to be able to quickly filter these offerings out, but
of course this all depends on the seller correctly labeling his offering, and
therefore 2) I would like a quick option to flag such items.
Frankly, I think it's pretty unacceptable to have sellers keep labeling their
items as "complete" when clearly they are not. This is just a sneaky way to mislead
people, or in the "least worst" case, a way to make your item pop up on top of
a search query when really, it shouldn't be there. I don't want to see
your incomplete items when I am searching for complete ones.
N.B. Of course I read descriptions before I read them. But this becomes increadibly
tedious when you are searching for multiple items. And frankly, this shouldn't
be necessary to check for completeness since there is a filter for that, and
it kinda bugs me that sellers are trying to circumvent this system.
Is there a way to fix this that I am missing? Or could something be implemented.
Greetings,
RaginR2

|
| The topic of Neutral feedback and how they are seen as minor negatives comes
up
quite a lot and although I’m sure this idea may not go down well with some....
I think one interesting concept could be to make it so that after 3 months any
feedback
that has not been left automatically turns into a Neutral which would probably
mean about 30% of any sellers feedback will no doubt be made up of Neutrals which
might then make leaving a manual Neutral seem less Negative and more acceptable
for a buyer to submit and for a seller to receive?
A seller could say why should I have to accept receiving Neutrals just because
a buyer couldn’t be bothered to leave feedback but firstly you have to remember
that the same situation will occur for everyone so that shouldn’t matter too
much especially if Neutral is more commonly expected however my theory is that
those customers that are particularly happy with their order be that because
it shipped quickly, well packaged, great parts, no fees, reasonable shipping
cost etc, etc.. are much more likely to WANT to let the seller know its arrived
and they are very happy with everything.
If a customer is left pondering because they are disgruntled about a couple of
things they may then be more inclined to leave Neutral or let it turn to a Neutral
automatically rather than leaving the usual somewhat less than deserved Positive
rating!
My other theory is that you may actually get more people choosing to leave feedback
in the first place because they may not want the seller to receive an automated
Neutral from them but on the other hand this option allows those buyers that
don’t want to leave feedback for a seller who delivered a less than perfect transaction
the option to allow it to just turn to a Neutral.
If you think about it every transaction would be destined to become a Neutral
feedback and only those that specifically choose to give Positive or Negative
will change that eventuality which would probably make more sense?
Therefore two sellers with 100 feedback instead of looking almost identical may
end up looking very different based on their overall performance:-
Seller A:- 70 Positive, 30 Neutral, 0 Negative
Seller B:- 55 Positive, 45 Neutral, 0 Negative
Or at least that’s the theory if you go by the law of averages when it comes
to those that don’t leave any feedback and then add to that all those who had
previously been holding back with giving sellers a Neutral rating!

it looks like it shows all colors. Instead of using the wording "not applicable"
in the wanted list use the wording of all colors??? But then how would you chose

| Please don't blame me for bringing up the following suggestion, it might
be a sensitive issue. I don't know if this suggestion has been done before.
I am one of the dealers (both buying asnd selling requently) very slow or even
not giving feedback. The problem is lack of time. We used to give FB once a month
and it took me 1-2 hours. I know, feedback is important and yes, I should give
feedback.But I simply have a lack of time. It looks something done very quickly-
but with many orders it adds up. And there is allways soo much else to do. I
know, I am sorry...
I am mild in my feedbacks as a frequent buyer and seller and 99% are positive.I
give my feedbacks in batch and I paste-copy the comment.
So my proposal is as follows: Most buyers and sellers are mild as well and giving
neutral or negative feedbacks will be done immediately. So most feedbacks will
be positive and have the same message.
Wouldn't it be an idea to have the possibility for AUTOMATIC feedback after
say 2/3 weeks (that can be turned on/off) being 'positive' and a fixed
message? (that can be set by the member)
Of course with the possibility to give 'manual' feedback in those cases
it is required. So only filling in the 'gaps'
And if this goes too far: won't it a good idea to have the possibility to
add a fixed comment in making batch positive feedbacks? It is quite dull work
to copy-paste the same comment 300 times. It would make it at least 65% faster.
For those now spending hours giving all the same FB's it will be a relief
and for those now not giving FB's (including me) it will take away feeling
guilty about this.
For buyers and sellers often not getting the FB's they want it will also
be a great.
And in general it will give a better picture of the proportions. Neutral and
negative feedbacks will allways be given. Getting all the positive feedbacks
will bring a better balance in the FB rate.

Considering the worldwide situation, the financial measures already started in
many countries (including the USA and the EU) and the financial measured not
yet taken, and the obvious consequences of all these (like inflation, devaluation,
and total financial and fiducial chaos), I’d like to strongly suggest BrickLink
add two new, but actually quite ancient, (mostly) universal, and staple currencies:
TP (Toilet Paper) and PST (Pasta).

| I have a setting / feature request:
I recently made a mistake by not checking the condition of a list of bricks imported
into a wanted list. Only after I placed the order, I noticed I ordered a load
of "Used" bricks, where my intention was to only buy new parts.
That's what I get for shopping late on a sunday night...
However, that made me think that it might be helpful to have a setting that defines
the default "condition" of bricks you're adding to your wanted lists. I'm
generally not interested in "Used" parts unless there's nothing else available.
So, the places the setting could apply would be:
- "Add to Wanted List" popup on a brick's page.
- "Items For Sale" tab on a brick's page.
- "Add items" popup on a wanted list.
- Wanted list import pages.
(Lucky for me, the shops were very helpful in fixing the orders  )

| As far as I can see, IC looks to have been setup in 2017 with little to no additional
updates having been made to it. I have e-mailed Help Desk a couple of months
ago with no response, so just posting here in the forum to hopefully gain a bit
more visibility (and perhaps other buyers/sellers from Canada could add onto
this):
-Provincial sales tax; Canadian sellers who must collect provincial sales tax
may not enable IC at all for domestic orders. This is one of the most basic requirements
which is preventing myself (and others) to move fully to IC. This primarily impacts
the higher volume stores.
-Zone-based shipping for Canada Post; as far as I know, only USPS has a built-in
API at the moment. Due to the granularity of Canada Post, this would be of huge
assistance, or at least let us create zones by Province or Postal Codes and we
can manually set up pricing based on that information. Canada is a vast country
and this impacts pricing.
Thank-you for your consideration

|
| I think BrickLink has a broken order process now due to the ever changing online
buying experience. For me I have seen an influx of buyers since the LEGO takeover
of BL, most new, but many clearly aware of the site though having limited use
of it in the past.
These buyers are often of the mindset that they are the ones calling the shots
on cancellations, payment time frames, etc. all while having no regard for the
BL or my store terms regarding such. Anything from unilateral ability to
cancel, expectations of free shipping, allowance to pay 10-days after ordering,
etc. and just the general "buyer rules" attitude that other selling sites (need
I name them?) have allowed buyers to abuse sellers with. These other sites have
taken some steps to protect sellers and buyer alike, but BL has fallen behind
the times.
Granted, these buyers are often new to BL which has a major learning curve, but
when you sell the exact same item 3 times in one week, and all 3 buyers want
to cancel after accurate shipping is invoiced for, it gets annoying. Why not
ask for a quote? And why only ask to cancel after days of the invoice being
sent? This and the increase in NPB buyers tying up stock have left me convinced
payment time-frame allowances need to be changed. The following is my view of
the changes this site needs to consider to move forward in a all-parties friendly
way:
Suggested Changes
1a: NPB should be changed to allowable to be filed 3-days from invoice (not
the order date). This would be similar to other online selling sites. Not
auto-started, but optional so situations and agreements allowing additions, extended
payment, etc. can all still run as before.
1b: NPB should be allowed to complete after 7-days from the invoice date (4
days of being opened). 14 days (21 if buyer responds) is a ludicrous amount
of time to send payment or tie up a sellers stock. 7-days is actually really
long, but much better than 14-21.
Most all decent buyers pay well before 3-days, and a NPB started is simply a
reminder to pay as it cannot be completed unless the buyer fails to ever pay.
So I can only see this as a positive change making bad situations end sooner
than later and keeping stock available on the marketplace.
2: Additionally I would suggest that a feature be added to protect sellers
WHILE allowing unconditional buyer requested cancellations. However, if
a cancellation is buyer requested the buyer should not be allowed to leave a
review (or an auto-positive given by default), and they should by default be
given a feedback showing an "Order Was Canceled By Buyer" message with a neutral
rating by default. Like an NPB's three-times-and-you're-out policy,
the buyer cancel option should be limited to 2, maybe 3 in a 6-month period,
or something reasonable. This allows buyers a true out when needed, and protects
the seller who after a customer gets pushy or rude the ability to safely allow
cancellation (when the buyer initiates) without needing the NPB and now current
2-3 weeks to prevent an unwarranted negative feedback. As is the system turns
good sellers into captive sellers, needing a NPB to save them from nightmare
feedback, but at the extremely high cost of wasted time and tying up their items
for weeks. No buyer needs 7, 14 or 21 days to pay and should not be granted
an ability to push payment back this far.
The current system for cancellations and NPB simply needs reformed. Buyers need
to be able to cancel in select situations such as a pushy seller trying to gouge
them on handling/shipping or holding the order hostage refusing to cancel, a
threat of pay or get an NPB. Sellers likewise need protection from the long
tied up inventory, or negative despite granting buyer an unwarranted cancellation.
The above should reduce 90% of all problem orders to being resolved in days,
not weeks, and all parties moving on largely unaffected. Bad sellers and buyers
will still get weeded out, and good ones will thrive.
Thanks for considering,
Jonathan

|
| Hi all!
Sorry for my bad english, but this idea I really want to share with you 
I think that Bricklink need functionality for sellers to offer Promocode additionaly
to coupons.
Coupons can be used just by registered users and mostly work with returned buyers
But promocode functionality is a reason for seller to grow up his social network
auditory and could help to bring more new users to bricklink.
I think it should work this way:
Seller can set up many promocodes at the settings.
He can chose the % or fixed ammount for each promocode.
He can set up it same way as coupon (for parts or sets / new or used / additionaly
to current discounts or not / how long it will work for buyers (should be possible
to set up permanent promocode))
On the forum should be special Topic for promocodes. It will work instead of
forum messages like "coupon for each who write me here"
Promocodes are realy good working strategy for social marketing and also can
be added to the bussiness cards or to the store page or many other places.
How do you think about it?

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.

| 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.

attract business to Bricklink from eBay and Craigslist and various other platforms.
We could make a feature where one item could be casually sold without becoming
a store, offered on the forum or some other way, and the sale could be official
and register for fees and everything. Buyer would know it was different from
buying from an established store, but it would make it easier for someone who
just wanted to sell 3 sets from their childhood or just wanted to get rid of
a box of their children's used Lego. Right now someone just has to tell
someone in the forum that they'll have to make a store and I expect 98 times
out of 100, they shrug their shoulders and go to eBay or Craigslist.

|
| To prevent accidental deletion of inventory or restore of store's inventory
for various reasons like accidental deletions, price changes, etc. Currently
changes cannot be undone and a self administered restore function would be beneficial.
Requiring administrative assistance in restoring one's inventory is inconvenient
on both the seller and the BL team.
Remedy Option 1
To prevent strain on the infrastructure of constant periodic backups of everyone's
inventory, the backup would only initiate when a user enters their store's
inventory page, and limited to certain time intervals (once a day, once per hour,
or whatever the system can handle). The seller would have the option of self
initiate backup as needed.
Remedy Option 2
If the infrastructure cannot handle backups on their own system, perhaps Bricklink
can prompt user with an option to download inventory prior to deletion or major
changes being done to it, and self administer restore function.
Remedy Option 3
At the least, the system should require a re-login to the account when inventory
deletion function is selected to prevent accidental deletion of the store's
inventory.
The above options are no mutually exclusive and can be implemented in tandem
depending on what Bricklink system/team can implement.

| 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.

this one.
We are all aware of the new Community Expert program that has been introduced
aimed at the technical side of the site e.g. catalogue, inventories etc.
How about adding to that group with a community advisory panel, whose members
could help with the usability testing of new features as well as offering advice
on both direction and functionality for the site.
These would also be volunteers and a method for rotation could be put in place
to ensure no one individual dominated that side.
You could even have regional representation say USA, UK, Europe (or Germany,
France Netherlands, etc). This would help enormously on the variations that are
both desirable and needed for the site, as well as the legal requirements, postal
systems, etc.
It would, of course also help communications and community spirit.

| Hi, the last days I spent with creating a list with BrickLink Item Numbers and
Description of all parts in my collection that I did not use for about 50 years
because I want first to document them for myself and then sort out and get rid
of them. I noticed that a lot of parts are not to find at BrickLink. In addition
I used https://www.toysperiod.com/lego-set-reference/ as source of information
but even there I could not find all parts. It would be very nice if BrickLink
would try to become a complete documentation of all parts that Lego ever released.

| Can we get a "By State" drop down search box please ??
All the data's already there, we just need the filter added to sort it. It
should be an easy query to add to the search form
I buy and sell, and really like buying from local sellers, as the shipping is
usually 1-2 days at the most. Or some are even willing to meet you the same day
to come pick up parts. I met another local seller in my town searching for local
sellers, and she was totally cool with meeting u pto get parts. As would I if
someone was close enough.
If we could filter a single state, and sort by best price, BAM !! Instant parts
just about.
The current option kind of sucks... Go to the main sellers list, open every
store in your state in a new tab, and search every store for the parts you want.
WAY to slow !!

|
| 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.
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).
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.
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

|
| From 1/1-2020 it is no longer possible to ship goods internationally in a letter
by PostNL. There has been a lot about this in this forum.
Professional dealers can still ship at a special rate using the online system.
But this online system requires filling in fields ´very strictly´ so street,
number, extra number, region, city, postcode.
We used to copypaste BL adresses, annd expected the local post to make the right
interpretation. But this is no longer possible.
Especially Asian adresses (S.Korea,Taiwan,Japan, China, Hong Kong) now gives
some questions, because it is not allways clear ´what is what´. Japanese addresses
come in the opposite order, sometimes there is as name or number, appartment
names and numbers that can be mixed up with a streetname, and there is the problem
that numbers come before streetnames on the label- streetnumbers are printed
AFTER the streetname. In many adresses it looks that things are mentioned twice,
but possible name of city and region are the same.
More postal administrations will adopt this new system thatis required by UPU,
(countries like USA will no longer accept and may even destroy shipments without
'prior notice of content', that's what postNL tells us) so this problem
would grow in the future.
In fact this requires a new way to display adresses ( "WITH LABEL") on brickink
to avoid `wrong` or incomplete adresses to be used.
Even more important because the lines on this label is limited and unneccesary
information pushes out important information from the line.

| Hello Admin,
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!!

or proximity to the home country you select ?
Because I felt on getting stores from all over the place even outside Holland
and then I figured out that the stores in Holland have the stuff I want but it
was not the cheapest way to get the parts .... So I now set it to highest quantity
but ideal I would only easy buy to select : 1 holand : 2 most items in 1 store
: 3 as least stores possible pref just 1 but not 6 like it does now ....
I want only Holland because I will have the bricks sooner as it only takes 1
or 2 days and its cheaper.
Hope you can do this as for now easy buy is far from that sorry.
Thank hope you understand

|
| Via check-box option, It would be very handy to be able to restrict part searches
to just those sellers included in your favourite list, and separately to this,
those sellers you have open carts with.
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.

| One of the things that BrickLink needs, is better brand identification in the
larger community of potential buyers. It occurs to me that one way to work towards
this goal is to have BL logo stickers (I.e. The same icon contains the smiling
yellow face 2x2 brick logo). This type of sticker has been used by Apple, in
that one is included with every Apple product. Over the past ~20 years it has
been a white Apple with a bite missing, white the original incarnation was a
6-color Apple.
Our new benevolent overlords have extensive experience in producing stickers,
and presumably they have access to the ability to produce large quantities, that
we (the sellers) could include one with each order. Eventually, you would start
seeing them stuck on laptops and the rear windows of vehicles. Free advertising
for BL !
Thank you for your support.

|
| With the takeover by TLG, it may be time that some fundamental changes to the
site get implemented. Hence the posting of this idea - that has been bothering
me for years.
— requires programming and website extension —
Currently in the Bricklink catalog are parts that signify ‘undetermined variant’,
commonly marked for deletion or already deleted, and corresponding parts that
represent the specific variants of these. The current system requires sellers
to determine the specific variant type – even if they would prefer not to distinguish.
The same system requires buyers to exactly specify which variant they are interested
in buying – even if they don’t actually care which is commonly true. My suggestion
would be to distinguish the two concepts as are the processes: the process of
specifying what is for sale (which may be undetermined) and the process of specifying
what you want to buy (which may be ‘don’t care’). Both processes are already
separate on Bricklink (store inventory and wanted lists), but the concept of
‘undetermined’ is not.
For the catalog policy
• Keep all undetermined variants in the catalog and even add undetermined
variants for those parts that are similar. This information may be extracted
from the relation type ‘part is similar to’.
• Drop the deletion marks for all the undetermined entries and solely use
this marking for wrong or outdated entries.
For sellers
For sellers to don’t want to distinguish between part variants: list these parts
under the undetermined entry only. The BL system should be modified to show these
entries amidst the specific variants for any non specific search as through wanted
lists.
For buyers
For buyers it should be possible to specify an undetermined variety or in
effect a search pattern instead of a single part number. If a buyer does not
care whether a p=4085 is of type a, b, c or d, the buyer should be able to add
p=4085* to his wanted list and the search engine should have no trouble in matching
4085a, 4085b or 4085d with this. Similarly to the 0 color (labeled N/A or Not
Appicable while in this context it actually means Irrelevant).
Buyers should be assisted by the website to specify a specific variant if applicable,
but default to the don’t care form.
For the Bricklink website
• Add a feature to the ‘Add to Wanted List’ and ‘Edit Wanted List’ forms
to allow adding of (a) this specific variant only or (b) include variants. Then
populate the wanted list with the appropriate search pattern instead of the single
part number. This would take the form of either a complete enumeration of all
varieties like ‘4085|4085a|4085b|4085c|4085d’ (plate 1x1 with clip) or the more
general entry of ‘4085*’ or ‘4085@’; I would think the enumeration is more robust,
as it would also allow ‘3794|3794a|3794b|15573’ (jumper 1x2) and would also
allow manual exclusion of one or more variants.
• Adjust the ‘Items for sale’ pages or page fragments that show all matching
parts to include all variants when searching for the don’t care variety.
For the Bricklink database
• Widen the field WantedListItems.ItemNumber to allow for longer patterns.
100 chars would be enough for most enumerations of varieties I can think of.
For the Bricklink search engine
• For matching wanted lists with store items: presume that wanted list entries
may contain a search pattern instead of a single entry. Change the SQL from ‘=’
to ‘LIKE’ wherever necessary or drop the quotes around the field. (But make sure
no malicious code may be entered through this field).
Extra
• A similar feature might be implemented to search for approximate colors
such as ‘any gray’ or ‘any green’, similar to how Studio groups the colors.
Any thoughts of whether this would be helpful for you as a seller or for you
as a buyer?

I would like to suggest setting the default order status always to "Pending".
*(Unless they pay at once using BL, it is set to "Paid" automatically. I can't
set it to that status manually. This is confusing since there is a payment status

|
| I realize as a non-admin I may be speaking out of turn and it will make little
difference to most people. I suggest that we add a step where an item is approved
in the catalog, but may still be awaiting release for sale. I get inspired to
make this suggestion every time I work up a set of CMF, but it would surely be
similar for other people who do catalog work on unreleased items. Sets are usually
"on hold" pending for at least a month before the official release. They could
be weighed and often they could be inventoried when they actually hit the catalog
for sale, but in the current system nothing can be done. Weight of a set can
be entered, but not weight of packing or instructions. I have over 100 items
pending in the catalog and I really wish I could get it organized, but I can't.
Would Lego object to us having information in the catalog for upcoming items?
I think they just want the sale dates respected.

|
| I've never quite understood why you are not allowed to set the minimum order
of a shipping method lower than the minimum order of your store. It's annoying
because if you have 10 shipping methods, then anytime you want to change your
minimum order, you need to also change it 10x in your shipping methods, for no
real reason, because the "master setting", the store minimum order value, should
determine it already.
However, it seems it's also causing another problem: Buyers can use the bypass
password to get around the minimum order, but it does not help them go
around the minimum order of the shipping methods. The result is that anytime
a buyer used the bypass password, they are able to order but unable to select
any shipping methods. So there will need to be a manual invoice.
I'd propose removing the restriction for shipping methods to have a minimum
order value that is higher than or equal to the store minimum order value - in
fact, I'd propose for shipping methods not to need a minimum value at all.
That should solve everything I described without any side effects.

| Add another column to the orders page display that tells you the price of your
orders in one currency, of your choice. Good for budgeting, and estimating your
spending. Can be an approximation, if it needs to be, it would really just be
a tool to help you work out how much you've spent. Otherwise you have to
do it manually, or in your head.

of the element itself is a double up as the seller listings have a thumbnail
beside them also.
Kind regards,
Thoy Bradley

| Before doing anything else with this site I suggest, as I have many, many times
before:-
There needs to be a proper 24/7 help desk and a proper SLA with members.
When something goes wrong with the site there is just no way of alerting anyone
out of USA working hours and even after that often nobody responds. This is no
way to run a global e-commerce site of this scale.
Currently I cannot access the BL catalog using any browser on PC or tablet...
and this has being the case for hours...surely this requires a response at least
from someone, somewhere!!!!!

| It would be very nice to allow store management to configure when a Stripe payment
is actually captured instead of capturing payment at checkout. In some countries
it's not allowed to capture payment before the order is actually shipped.
For instance it could be configured to automatically capture the payment when
the order status is set to "Shipped". This is how Stripe integration is handled
on BrickOwl so there's definitely an API for this. If an automatic handling
of this cannot be implemented for whatever reason I'd be ok with settling
for a manual process.
I would love to be able to fully comply with regulations .

| Please show in the order details, the set from which pieces were ordered. As
a seller, this would be hugely helpful in finding the ordered pieces and sending
the order within a reasonable time.

| My want lists have a place for the bricks I have. It would be nice if the pieces
I purchase through BrickLinks would automatically show up in the haves so I can
keep track. Is there a way to allow this to happen?

| Hi,
After all, thanks for this website ans studio, it's really great tools to
create and find parts !
My idea is to have the possibility to create an "have list" like the "wanted
list" but to reference my parts and so to be abble to make difference between
want / have lists to know wich parts i need to purchase. it will be great for
multipart/large model so i can purchase and work on a first part and continue
searching for other part but making a different wanted list for different submodels
...
I don't know if it's really clear ...
Let me know
Thanks by advance
Mr

| There is a feature I would love to see in Bricklink, it goes like this:
I have x number of pieces that belong to a set but I do not know what the set
is. I would love to specify which pieces I have and then view all the sets that
all the pieces belong to.
I do know that I can look up a single piece but it gets difficult cross referencing
5 or 6 pieces to find the common set.
Please let me know if you think this would be a beneficial feature or if you
would like more info.
Thanks

| Dear Bricklink,
There are certain dishonest shops that really ruin the BL experience for shoppers.
It's hard to prove, but some sellers apparently sell pieces they don't
have in their stock and only order them from elsewhere when you place an order
with them. Apologies if that sounds like unfounded accusation, but my LUG is
aware of a number of shops whose stock is always suspiciously similar to current
LEGO PaB stock, who delay shipping when PaB runs out of stock, and who generally
take around 3 weeks to ship anything, no matter how common and widely available.
Because I see no reliable way to denounce such sellers, I suggest a different,
easily implemented solution. Just like sellers who offer instant checkout are
marked with a special badge, why not create another badge that marks sellers
who ship e.g. 3 days after payment on average? We as buyers have no access to
sellers' shipping times, we can only look up their feedback and see if people
are complaining about slow service. But your system has dates of all payments
and shipments. Simply calculate days between payment and shipping for all seller's
orders and you can get a nice average. And I'm sure this average is going
to show that certain shops typically ship after 2-3 weeks while others ship after
2-3 days. Hell, I had a seller ship an order 30 minutes after payment once. Quality
service deserves recognition, and we as buyers deserve the right to be informed
whether a particular seller provides such service or not. Transparency is the
name of the game. Right now there in no reliable way to determine that, and picking
a wrong seller can mean that your MOC will get hold up for weeks.
I sincerely hope that you will consider this simple, easy to implement request
that would drastically improve Bricklink's overall transparency for buyers.
