Feedback you Received:
The following are currently the only valid reasons for which you can request
feedback you received to be removed:
Feedback you received contains vulgar language.
Feedback you received contains personally identifying information including your
name, address, e-mail address or telephone number.
You are the seller and the buyer has not paid. Non-Paying Buyer Alert has been
completed or the buyer has accepted the NPB penalty via NPX.
You are the buyer and the seller has not responded or shipped. Non-Responding
Seller Alert or Non-Shipping Seller Alert has been completed.
Feedback you received was posted by a duplicate account of a user who had their
membership terminated.
Feedback you received was posted by a duplicate account of a user who was on
your Stop List before the order was placed.
If you're requesting feedback to be removed for the last 2 reasons above,
you should contact the Help Desk before you submit the request and let us know
the original username of the duplicate account.
Requests can be submitted until the order is purged from the system - up to 6
months from the order date. Requests are submitted to the BrickLink Administration
for approval. If the feedback is removed, it cannot be reposted. Each request
has a status:

I understand the frustration of getting a retaliatory feedback BUT i don't
support interjecting the BL admins into disputes over feedback.
The BL team has enough to do without this added task which is not a revenue producing
nor a productive use of their time.
Having the admin being a referee between two disputing users may result in one
of those users leaving the site which will not be beneficial for the greater
good.
Retaliatory feedback is easy to spot and usually hurts the image of the user
who left it more than the user who received it.

All of them are.

being reported it just tells me there is not a good spread of mods to cover all
time zones.
|
Thank you for reporting.
There were two scam posts reported around 5 at night, in my timezone.
Both were canceled immediately after I woke up. 😉
|
figured it was you that removed them, in fact feels like you are the only moderator
working.
|
You can be assured that all active moderators are working together.
It's visible below the canceled post who canceled it.

are unhappy at every little thing. Some sellers overreact to even the smallest

yes that is why it should be an option to let the admin decide, take this recent
case into question, this buyer received negative feedback because of negative
feedback he left the seller who failed to deliver items the buyer bought and
refused to deal with the situation, the seller deserved the negative feedback,
the buyer did not and it is obviously retaliatory in nature:

The retaliation came for the NSS charge. They shipped, missing item was refunded,
even PayPal wouldn't side with the buyer on this.
|
actually the NSS came after the negative feedback since that is evidently the
only way to remove said feedback by the rules.

How and who decides if feedback is retaliatory or not and what would be the criteria
for that?
I would agree that purely retaliatory feedback is wrong but there then becomes
an issue where there are 2 sides to a story..

Yeah, I understood with this morning spam why you posted the suggestion. I connected
those dots before I posted my reply.
So my thoughts stand: have the mods endorse the suggestion. It's their wheelhouse.
|
other then Brickwilbo being on the fence (agrees it is complicated but not sure
how to fix it) have not heard from any other mods, in fact not sure who the other
mods are if any others?

|
This was suggested before.
The Problem Center is below the page. Click forum, then enter the message number.
|
yeah but a bit redundant when you have to go thru 3 clicks just to get tot the
report post section.
|
sorry make that 4 clicks before you get to the page where you give the post number
and reason.
|
Yes, it's a lot of clicks and copy/paste. Not easy on a mobile phone.
|
while a simple report post button on the post itself would make it so much easier
|
It would probably also lead to accidentally clicked reports.
I prefer a more visible button with two-step verification to report a message.
|
well when you have to click the button on the post then fill in the info and
click report that would be like a 2-step verification. my suggestion would be
to have the button on the post go right to the report function, avoiding all
those extra steps and such to get there. in other words the button on the post
would take you here https://www.bricklink.com/problemMessage.asp

| The way i use my wanted lists, I don't want to flag a part as owned until
i get it IRL. As such i use remarks to keep track of things i have ordered and
don't have yet.
Ideally, a 3rd stat e of items on a wishlist would be added - something like
pending. However as that would be a significant back end change for the developers
of the site, i created my own tampermonkey/greasemonkey script to add links to
the my wishlist search for each given part on the order page.
So underneath the part/minifig/set image is a link to search my wishlists for
the given item in the given color. That way when i make an order i can click
through for each of the items and update just the remarks for the parts across
all wishlists.
a feature like that would be really helpful and should be fairly trivial to add
to the codebase. (particularly using server side code instead of scraping the
info needed for the links from content already on the page.

Yeah.. I had a call with the team recently and I urged them to do this. Luckily,
they said they were already working on it, which is great.
I do hope they'll do this very soon, it has taken a long time now. BrickOwl
has iDeal and Sofort through Stripe, and also in my webshop it was extremely
easy to implement with Stripe.
This is important for everyone, because Stripe allows you to accept foreign payment
methods without needing to know how it all works. The NL is one of the biggest
countries on Bricklink and all sellers will benefit from it if people can pay
by iDeal. IMO this is really one of the top priority issues right now. PayPal
is way too expensive and just not convenient for everybody.
It would be beneficial on Bricklink's side as well. There will be more business
so more fees, less money leaking out to PayPal, and also it will vastly increase
the percentage of payments that is done onsite - which is what Bricklink really
likes to see.

| I've found a workaround.
Merge my wish lists. Then I can apply my orders on it without risking to update
the same part more than intended. (Which could happen if you apply an order on
multiple wish lists containing the same parts.)
But the merge feature doesn't allow to merge wish lists having conflicts
(same combinations of piece&color).
Though, I realised it's possible to merge them by uploading a list and add
its pieces into another one. When there is identical items, it will combine them
additionning wanted quantities together, and owned quantities together.
To merge wish list "B" into wish list "A"
1) Download list "B" (as XML)
2) Use "Upload" from the "Want" menu
3) Select "Upload BrickLink XML format"
4) Copy & past the content of the file B.xml (produced at step 1)
5) Select wish list "A"
6) Click "Proceed to verify"
(review the result)
7) Click "Add to Wanted List"
(optional: rename list "A": "A & B", and delete list "B")

I use another website to track my overall (loose and in sets) parts inventory;
BL is just not designed to do so efficiently.
That said, I also have maintained separate wanted lists here on BL for parts
that I've received, for a specific MOC or custom set: when the parts arrive,
I simply copy-and-paste from the want list to the "received" want list, and then
remove them from the want list. When all parts have arrived I now have a list
of them all for that custom build.

| Hello,
I'm currently struggling with multiple wish lists, and updating the owned
parts with my orders, to keep track of how many I still need.
My lists often share the same conbinations of pieces&color, and this prevent
me from applying orders on more than one, without messing the overall count.
(This also prevent me from merging my lists.)
I think it would be great to be able to apply an order on multiple wish lists,
making sure pieces applied to a list aren't applied to the other ones.
You would have to specify which list is the first one, the second one and so
on, and the algorithm would apply the order to the first list, then the remaining
pieces to the second one, and so on.
An alternative feature would be to be able to merge lists which have conflicts
(same pieces&color combinations). Why not addition the wanted quantities, owned
quantities and concatenate the comments? It should be fine with a message explaining
how it deals with the conflicts and asking for confirmation.

| Does this mean that we will have like a special tool to select a certain group
of parts to see if they appear in any sets? I don't know if such feature
is already implemented.
| | So we all have want lists, right?
Wouldn't it be cool to be able to take a want list and instead of looking
for stores that have all the individual parts, do a search against "sets" or
multiples of sets that have all the parts on a want list.
Everything needed to make this tool already exists on Bricklink.
Parts want list - check
Sets, parts inventory - check (the part out tool)
This function could be added to the Buy section like the distillers to get from
the fewest stores, or best price etc - add sets to buy that have all the parts.
Then a shopper could shop for complete sets to buy from sellers or determine
that they already have the sets in their own collection to build the MOC they
are shopping for pieces for.
Example: I bought the instructions for the UCS U-wing project by Mirko (Awesome
MOC by the way and beautiful instruction book)
uploaded the parts list 430 different parts 3300 pieces total.
I would love to know if I could buy 4-5 sets to get all the parts I need to build
the UCS U-wing project and the extra pieces could go in my collection. Certainly
there would be a handful of random special pieces to buy separately but it would
be cool to have the option of buying a few complete sets to get the majority
of the parts.
Just a thought and the development cost would be minimal since the hard parts
(set part inventories & want lists) already exist.

For now you can credit the second order and adds its value to the first order

to put parts in their correct spot and it's a big waste of time. If we could
sort the part out by remarks then we wouldn't have this issue and it's
very likely an easy fix on the side of the site.
|
I sort my parts using remarks too.
What I do, when parting out a set, is select the following options.
On the Part out screen, check the box that says...
"Consolidate lots with my existing inventory and adjust quantity of items that
are already in my inventory by using:"
Then select "Old Remarks." This will combine the lots, and keep your old location.
Once you upload the parts, you can then look at the parts in order of REMARKS.
Go to your inventory.
On the right enter the set number
Then once it loads, sort by remarks.
NOTE: If you have the option to keep your parts in your inventory when they are
sold out turned on, remember that they will stay in stock room unless you manually
change them, or choose "NEW STOCKROOM Option"
Hope that helps.

If there was a way to sort by remarks then we'd have the black part later
in our part out.

so i understood correctly.
Yes, this can be done with brickstock with the method i described.
If you need any help with brickstock you can write me a message.

Open the set to part out in one file and your inventory in another. Choose the
set file, then "edit - Copy Remarks from Document" and choose your inventory
as source.
Now you can sort by remarks.
But in Brickstock there is a bug where if the source has the same part number
but different
color, it copies it anyway. So you need to check the file.

I'm not sure I understand what you're saying.
I'll illustrate the situation.
Let's say the set has black plate 1x1 and blue plate 1x1 in it. In the part
out they'll be one after the other but in our inventory the black one is
stored in a large bin and not in the same part of racking as the blue one. So
we either have to put the blue part in its bin, go put the black part in its
bin then come back to the other part of the warehouse for the next part or to
put the parts that go in large bins aside and then do them once we get over there.
If there was a way to sort by remarks then we'd have the black part later
in our part out.

I see what you mean but the situation is as follows:
We take 50 sets of (SET NUMBER), part it out to our inventory and store it in
bins.
All the parts that we've already had in our inventory have locations in bins.
We want to put all the same parts in the same bins for easier picking.
If we sort by part name it mostly follows our storage system but not always so
we have to run around to different parts of the warehouse to put the parts in
their correct bins. If we could sort the part out by remark, we would have them
in the correct order and it would make everything much easier.

I would add them to another wanted list so I can easily find another store with

Thanks for the reply and recommendation. I also already use the remarks field.
As you might have noticed from my image, under the item description it says
"bin1". This is a code I use to direct me to an area where these parts are.
I suppose I could type the date onto every item I upload in the remarks box,
but if that information is already stored in the system by default, why not just
open it up to sellers?

Considering that they are stoplisted, it probably should not matter any more.
The purpose of the stoplist is to stop them from buying from your store. It could

| I'd like to suggest a new feature for sorting inventories.
Currently, inventories can be sorted "By Color," which groups items alphabetically
based on the color names. I don't find this feature to be very helpful, and
I don't use it very often. Would it be possible/reasonable to add a feature
that uses the Color Guide list instead?
(i.e. sort as "Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Violet;" not "Blue, Green, Orange,
Red, Violet, Yellow")

| | the thing I dislike most about ordering from this site, in how hard it is to
control the quality of the pieces that I get.
And I don't think loose pieces should be categorized between "new" and "used",
because all loose pieces are used (Yes I know you can order them individually
from Lego at times, but functionally when you buy lego it comes in a set, outside
of that set they are used).
What there needs to be is a grading scale, either number based (1-5) or description
based (Comics use words like Mint, Near Mint, Very Fine, Fine, etc; playing cards
will use words like Near Mint, Lightly Played, Moderately Played, Damaged, etc).
Sellers would be forced to classify all their pieces into one of these conditions,
and then I would be able to filter out conditions that I thought were unacceptable.
Create a clear cut visual guide for conditions, and award disputes based on that.
I sell cards on www.tcgplayer.com and knowing that buyers can win disputes if
I send them cards that are worse then they wanted, I make sure to put forth the
effort to accurately grade the cards when I list them. Yes it is more work, but
I have never once had an issue with a buyer buying a card from me that they were
unhappy with because of the condition.
In my first batch of orders on this site I got several pieces that were damaged,
etc. It was really frustrating, because when doing mass purchases on this site
it is seemingly impossible to filter out bad pieces, and when you let the site
build the orders for you, its hard to see and notice all the "notes" that sellers
put on their items.
So I don't feel justified in blaming a seller because I received two saddles
with broken clips, forcing me to order two new saddles, because they noted it
on their items. The issue here is the functionality of the website to convey
that to me, and allow me to filter their items from my potential orders.
I honestly would suggest you take a hard look at www.tcgplayer.com Coming from
card games, I was really surprised at how similar the process of buying/selling/collecting
individual cards/decks/sets is to Lego pieces/sets. Like, functionally they are
completely the same, and TCGplayer is a really well honed marketplace (nothing
is perfect), but learning from what they do right would greatly improve your
already fantastic site

At what cost are you willing to make this happen? If you were the one sorting/storing
hundreds of thousands of used parts you would have a clue. It is enough work
to store 2 sets of inventory and keep them separated along with occasional lots
of filler grade let alone 6 different grades (1 new and 5 used). If doing this
multiplies my time by 6 times guess where that will be made up? the price of
the parts of course. Maybe we should start a grading company to send the individual
lego parts to so they can assign a 3rd party numeric value to them.

Hi, You're speaking to people that have been doing this for a long time,
so try to understand they are going to be defensive and not be offended by that.
I have never had an order compiled by bricklink and to be honest didn't even
know that was a thing. Of the ten's of thousands of cards you have, what
percentage of them sell for under 5 cents? I've wished at times that there
was a way to say a part was discolored or had a mark or scratch on it but I wouldn't
know where to begin to put a numbered value on any of that. I think the notes
and comments on the parts does a decent job of letting people know condition
and the higher the value of a part the more description there should be. So for
the thousands of sellers, and the millions of parts, it really comes down to
communication and doing the leg work to not be disappointed.

If you have a clearly defined grading scale, it will not create issues. It doesn't
matter what a buyer or seller thinks a pieces grades at, it matters what category
it fits. Pictures can prove most of it.
It will take time yes, I do it for cards, its not super fun, but its not hard
either.
Its not so much that I think some set you ripped open and pieced out is "used"
and not "new", its more that I don't think "used" and "new" are accurate
descriptors for the possible conditions of a lego.
I have cards listed that are a penny, Like I said, cards and lego collecting
are extremely similar in concept and execution. Everything you guys have brought
up as a reason not to do this, was brought up when they implemented it with cards,
and they system has worked wonderfully.

Have you tried selling Lego pieces individually? Because if not, you cannot say
they are similar. Now I haven't sold cards before, but Lego takes a ton of
effort. Slight variations (groove/no groove, stud holder/axle holder, blocked-open
stud/hollow stud, etc. etc.) makes this a very tedious job. Let us, who have
been selling Lego pieces for years, assure you, who hasn't (at least not
on this site), that adding more conditions will increase the workload on us who
sell used pieces. Which will do two things:
1. Kill off some of the stores who now no longer find this worth the task.
2. Increase the prices of all pieces as sellers now need to make up for the extra
time they take.

People buy from BL with the idea that it's the same as ordering from Amazon.
"Free" shipping, delivery times of a couple days, no-questions asked returns

I am on the Lego sub on Reddit and people there ask questions about ordering

that many new BL users do not understand that they are ordering from individuals

You know what, you're right. I've seen the same thing on reddit and never
realized that the posters just aren't understanding its a bunch of different
sellers.

I'm suggesting that until the covid crisis is over that BL puts an extra
disclaimer on the feedback area explaining that postal delays are not our fault.
It doesn't even need to be permanent. Just something official. They aren't
reading our terms disclaimers.
Open to any input on this.

Absolutely YES. Finally, the package I shipped 12 days ago has reached Indiana
(from Massachusetts) the tracking just shows the date the label was created and
then a delivery scan. Otherwise, they are all ending up in the new USPS BLACK
HOLE- still have a few packages stuck in purgatory - no further scanning over
a week.

you're trying to say or what merit it has to what I said? Of course you should
still provide customer service. In fact, in the US anyways, the USPS has a form
on their website to locate and track down missing packages, or to locate packages
that were marked as delivered even though they weren't. They receiver needs
to do this, so if I use tracking, and they tell me it wasn't delivered, I
can point them to that page, and the USPS will take care of tracking it down
without me, the seller, having to waste any time trying to figure it out. How
does using tracking prevent you providing customer service?

You said "I love it, because when things go missing, I can just politely point
them to the USPS and both Tcgplayer and Paypal will have my back." making it
sound like you wash your hands of the customer. You're not helping the customer
out because you want them to lose their claim (and it shouldn't get to that
point anyways to begin with if you helped them out when they said the package
didn't arrive even if showing as delivered).

Your suggestion has SOME merit, but in reality, did you actually look at the
feedback of the sellers that you bought from?
The feedback is a marvellous indicator as to whether a seller is selling substandard
used parts or not, and by substandard, I mean scratched, bitten, and broken clips.
NOT ONCE, have I ever sent out a broken part unless it was in a place that was
unnoticeable (ie underneath), and I'd mentioned it in listing it because
it's a rare-ish piece.
I've bought from sellers in the past, and I've had nibbled parts, and
I do, and will contact them to complain, but ultimately, they are a kid's
toy, worth on average 2-5p, unlike the cards you mention.
I have no idea as to what the lowest value cards are, and I bet they are probably
20x more than a 2p piece of Lego, and that is the issue, as this is why BL won't
have the grading value that you are hoping for.
Best way to avoid all of the issues that you are concerned about, is to buy NEW
elements.
Have a good day
