Hello

Is it possible to insert my own pictures of a item in my inventory?

Yes, click 'I use my own picture' .

Can pictures only be added through "Add" function?

Can pictures be sent with messages?

Only as link.

Hi,

with over 100 Wanted Lists, I would like the chance to organize my Wanted Lists.
Perhaps something like superlists or categories, for instance;

- active (buying)
- save for later

Or the possibility to name them yourself

This is already possible.

Just my 2 cents.

Reach out if you want to discuss this more

PS! Keep up the good work

Kind Regards, Pål R

Ok so you guys have more experience of this than me so I'm going to take
your word that the tile is dark red. My issue then is what does Dark red look
like to Reddish Brown and what does reddish brown look like to Brown. All the
parts I sell are used parts so its likely a lot of brown could exist so going
on that basis I was assuming everything with a reddish tint was reddish brown
and I don't have any dark red, if I'm incorrect on this then I have a
major inventory reshuffle to do.

Hi,

So I'd like someone to have a look at this and see if I am going mad please.
Have a look at the first picture without looking at the second you will see both
parts stuck together look identical in colour. Both are brown. Now look at the
second picture the same part Plate 1x1 with the design on that side of it is
listed only as reddish brown and never as brown. Should this not be listed as
brown?

Kind regards

The 2x2 tile looks like dark red to me and the plates reddish brown when next
to it.

Do you actually have any old brown bricks/plates to put the "others"?

TBF the plates do look brown in the first two photos. But lighting and images
can make something look very different.

Tile looks dark red to me.

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. 😉

You can be assured that all active moderators are working together.

sorry make that 4 clicks before you get to the page where you give the post number

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.

I think it would be a good function for both the re-sellers and the users that
want to simply use the inventory function.

It's possible to download orders and upload the xml file to your inventory.

It would be really useful if there was an inventory system implemented for buyers
not just sellers. That way if I buy a set for parts I can simply come on here
and add those parts to my inventory and then any wish list I have containing
those parts would be updated accordingly.

You can upgrade to seller and keep your store closed.

Or keep inventory on Rebrickable.com or with Brickstock.

Hello!

I'm finding it could be useful to be able to search my store inventory for
parts from my wanted lists, or for them to come up when I go to buy from my wanted
list. I would assume my the auto buy thing searches my store as well, but considers
the cost of the pieces. Maybe it could be improved to show parts from my store
as free for me (I have a buyer/seller account, rather than separate ones).

Thanks!
Matt

On your My Inventory page you can click in the Search option for Items in a Wantlist.

Bricklink consists of thousands of stores.
Who should hold the funds for the card?

Congratulations.

In Catalog, Admin_Russell writes:

Hello everyone,

I have some long-awaited news for you! We have created a new Catalog Admin position
which has privileges on both sides of the system, the catalog and inventories.
This is a culmination of about 3 years of work, and we are so proud of our first
ever member to take this position, Hygrotus.

He has steadily worked his way up to this level from his years of being an outstanding
and reliable contributor, to a special class of contributor known as an Inventories
Verifier, to one year experience as an Inv Admin, and then most recently about
14 months as a Catalog Associate. We are pleased that he has stuck with the program
and now is going to forge ahead.

We are combining the two "halves" of the system for many reasons, but the main
one being efficiency. If only one admin is available on a given weekend, for
example, we can take care of contributions on both sides, which are often dependent
on each other.

We will retain the Catalog Associate and Inv Admin positions for the purpose
of training new Catalog Admins. They will be considered transitory positions.

I recently decided to add instant checkout to my store. I received my first
ever neutral feedback because I didn't include a note as requested in the
buyer's comment section. My suggestion is to add the buyer's comments
section on the sellers invoice (like it always has been on the invoice when an
invoice was requested). There is no buyer's comments section on the email
I receive notifying me that an order has been placed. In this instance, this
caused an unpleasant experience for the buyer.

In the order confirmation email under the shipping method is a 'Comments
from Buyer:' section. Below it are the items of the order.

The Comments from Buyer are also visible below the items on the orders details
page.

Hello!

I wanted to see if anyone had any advice when it came to putting together incomplete
sets with the parts that you already have on your inventory? I'm looking
to cross match items on my wanted list, and the parts from a specific set but
every time I do that, all items that are on my wanted list appear instead.

Thank you in advance!

On your My Inventory page, on the right under search options, enter the set number
at Search items from set # and check Items on my Wantlist.

I believe it's only available in the USA but it is a payment method powered

offsite payment method? It is not currently showing on the long list of payment

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).

I think if you add a instant checkout shipping method without instant payment
a customized invoice can be send by using the HTML tags.

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.

Some sellers use the Brickstock program for it.

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.

No items are removed from the inventory when in a cart.
Maybe the items are in a stockroom or you have a filter on.

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
