  This is something that crossed my mind reading the forum.

What if you have to leave a message to the counterpart BEFORE leaving a non positive?

Like: "I am leaving this negative feedback, the counterpart may reply to this
message within XX days before the feedback becomes effective".

If I am a seller, I may want to contact a rushy buyer who is leaving me a negative
for an order that had a bad outcome before warning me about that. This way I
can offer refunds, coupons, reshipping or whatever, and the buyer may be discouraged
from leaving me bad feedback.

If I am buyer, I may want to contact a rushy seller who is leaving me a negative
without even contacting me, and I may want to settle things in order to avoid
the feedback.

I have received sometimes rushy feedbacks that underwent all the feedback removeal
procedure... this may have been just spared if the person was aware that I had
in my intentions to settle things.

The feedback page encourages to resolve issues before leaving feedback:

Please try to resolve any disputes before posting a complaint. Feedback must
not be used to communicate with your trading partner or ask them a question

  Is there something on here or could there be, a way that we can keep track
of the sets we own and what the current new value is along with the current used
value is and what the totals are?? Something like what BrickEconomy has.

  I don't know if this will ever happen but I would love to see that chat rooms
return. They really helped me out when I was new and other as well. It was
also nice to make friends and talk Lego with others to get ideas and tips on
projects. I would hope that admin and the new owner of BL may see that chat
was an addition to the site. It was not the cause of BL 1.0's downfall so
it really makes no sence to take it out

Bump.

Can the voting be re-activated?

  I have no interest in selling bricks but I want to keep track of full and partial
sets that I have. I think the Inventory feature will work well for that.

Can this be enabled for those of us who want to use it for ourselves and not
to sell to others?

Thanks
Steve

Websites as Rebrickable.com and brickset or the Brickstock program have these
features.
You can always upgrade your account to seller and keep the store closed.

  It would so much improve the searching/buying experience if the seller's
location (under the 'More options' drop-down) could be saved as a default
preference. It really bugs me to have to change it with each part I'm costing.
Anyone else agree?

Unless I'm overlooking a setting, in which case, please illuminate me

If not do you have a link to one that works well.

  There should be a way to put your inventory into BrickLink without being a seller
so that it’s easier to part out sets for wanted lists

If I’m missing something please direct me to the page

It's possible to part out a set into a Wantlist without being a seller.

You can upgrade your account to seller without opening the store.
Or keep track of your personal inventory on Rebrickable.com.

  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.

Check this page:

  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

Barry


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.

All of them are.

are they? when a couple scam reported posts are still up most of the day after
being reported it just tells me there is not a good spread of mods to cover all

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.

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.

Actually the loading of parts shall be done manually...


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.

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.

  I would really welcome a Bricklink Gift Card, e.g. for 5, 10, 20, 50 euro. Since
that would be a perfect gift for me as a AFOL Lego designer. So a gift card that
anyone can buy directly online from the main Bricklink page, without needing
a membership or login. Because the people gifting, are mostly not Lego fans themself.

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

  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.

  We've been using Zelle, which is a Wells Fargo payment method to send/receive
money.
I believe it's only available in the USA but it is a payment method powered
by one of the largest banks in the US- Would it be possible to add this as an
offsite payment method? It is not currently showing on the long list of payment
method that we'd be able to add to our payment profiles as a seller.
Thanks for considering.

It's been suggested before:

  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.

and is there any way to check this?

Kind regards

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

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.

  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.)

Yes. It has been suggested before.

  
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.

You can select location:

  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?

Have your tried with the payment status Returned or Bounced?

Sergio

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.

  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

  Hi All,

Ive been looking for through the catalogue for various parts and have found that
some lots are coming up as zero available but still showing up for sale.

I was looking at 3700 technic 1x2 brick in dark green last week and the stores
showed up with zero in stock in the catalogue. I checked again today and all
resolved.

I then looked at orange part 6005 and same thing.

Whats going on ??

Seems off to me or is it related to these rarer parts ?

Help please

Yogi

The item doesn't show up in the items for sale.
I guess the Price Guide isn't shown in Real Time.
Maybe the items are in void of the payment process.

  How can you get a list of parts that you have in your inventory for a specific
set.

On your My Inventory page in the extra options Search My Inventory you can enter
a set number.

  In the price guide it will tell you how many parts you have in inventory
for a set. I want to knw what those parts are.

Check the option Show Items in My Inventory to see if you've got the items
in your inventory on the Catalog page:

  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.

Here you can Sort your Favourite sellers on top:
