  Hello,

When filtering seller location to European Union, UK is still visable.

Here in Sweden there is an extra fee for orders from countries outside EU, and
that fee applies for orders from UK. The fee is a minimum of 75 SEK and up to
125 SEK depending on the cost of the order.

Luckily I did look this up before making any order from UK, but it might be good
to fix the filtering system and remove UK from the EU list.

Have a good day!

I've moved this to Suggestions.

  I personally think it would be a great idea to have a little green dot next to
your name if a member is currently active. As a seller , this would help with
messaging and such . and as a buyer it would mean invoicing could be done much
faster. Maybe even a last logged in date. What do you guys think?

Correction for my other post.
It was unintentionally removed with the new TOS

  When listing catalogue items by number, the list appears by color, but the colors
appear in no discernable order. It would save a lot of searching time if they
appeared in alphabetical order, the same as they do in inventories. Is this possible?

Maybe it's here: https://www.bricklink.com/catalogOptions.asp?viewFrom=P

  Hello, My name is Praise. I have tried to buy LEGOs through BRICKLINK,
but it is so difficult and tedious because unlike many other sites with CARTS,
such as:
-Amazon
-Ebay
-Wish
etc.....
BRICKLINK makes it to where you have to buy from each seller separately
instead of a BUY BUTTON like other online stores that allows you to enter
your payment information only once, even if you buy from all around the world.

Also, there needs to be a confirmation from the seller after shipping and handling
(S&H) have been added so you're not hit with a crazy price (such as $13.25
for a 80 cent piece) that forces you to pay a higher amount than the buyer "bargained"
for.

Unfortunately my small hobby store can't be compared to Amazon, Ebay or Wish.
I would Wish it was.😉

Try to learn the Wantlist features to buy from the fewest stores possible to
save on shipping costs.
Always read the store Terms and Splash for shipping costs.
You cou can move to the next store if it doesn't have clear shipping costs
or use the Request a Quote feature.

You'll discover how easy it can be to buy from sellers on a smaller platform
as Bricklink instead of a multi billion Amazon, Ebay or Wish.

  I'm just highlighting the inconsistencies, not only between different parts
of the site, but even here in the forum. Does anyone care about that? Do you
care? Depending on who you are and when you post, you can sometimes get away
with some vile stuff.
I see that the thread in the second link I posted still remains unmoderated.

Actually it was moderated: https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1225917

  (snipped) BRICKLINK???!!! I just got an email with 11 figs that they just deleted
from my inventory, and some were listed as used and they were full figs with
things like "some yellowing in torso."! Someone want to tell me what is going
on please??? Did this happen just because I posted this question today?

I will not list figs as parts because FIG PARTS RARELY SELL!!!

WE NEED TO DEFINE MINIFIGS AS COMPLETE, OR INCOMPLETE LIKE SETS!

Is the community of people who helped build Bricklink, like myself, now pushed
aside and not heard in order to make OUR site better? Or is it now fully TLG
property and we have no say?

  So I find that each time I listed a minifig that was brand new, but missing a
part like an accessory that was in the picture of the fig, like a shoulder piece
or cape, BL in the next day or so would remove it. We can't list figs as
new but incomplete or complete because BL never was set up like that. So BL
deleted my fig post saying it was against the rules but of course no explanation.
Do we really have to list a brand new fig as used, or as parts when it's
missing something like a cape or skirt???

When it gets deleted so quickly, does that mean that another member reported
it quickly to admins to get it removed? Someone said it's the new BL algorithm
that did it automatically, but that can't be true because I see other sellers
figs that are missing parts but still listed as new. So am I being singled out
by someone following me and reporting anything I do just to be a jerk?

Thanks in advance.

  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
