Good evening,

very rarely there are differences about how much a shipping could cost, especially
when stores use the TBT quote function. Right now I had the problem, communication
was not possible at all, no response.

Why shouldn´t a byer have the option to chancel an order, right after he received
a shipping calculation he is not ready to pay? No one has to be upset, all sorted.
After the chancellation no review is needed as well IMHO. Negative review will
result in a negitve one from the other part as well.

Or even the next step: Every store has to offer at least some fixed shipment
calculations for the countries they ship to. Quotes should only be an extra option.

Just my 2 cents. I feel sad about such an outcome.

Unexpected high shipping fee is a valid buyer reason for cancelation. https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=79

To be specific. Unexpected high shipping fee is not one of the reasons listed.
"Shipping fee too high" is not the same thing. Too high according to what? You
might think it's too high but the Postal service does not.
Point is, the wording should be changed.

If the Seller provided a shipping fee that was too high (not clearly stated in
T&C), then it's higher compared to what's stated in the T&C of the store.

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.

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.

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

figs that are missing parts but still listed as new. So am I being singled out

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

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.

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.

Re: Cross matching wanted list and parts from set

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.

Hi all,

I know I definitely added some particular items to my inventory some days ago
but now they seem to be missing?! Is it possible that if someone adds them to
their cart they are removed from my inventory even if they didn't buy them?
and is there any way to check this?

Kind regards

Bar

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

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.

If it's feasible, it'd be nice to be able to organize your want lists
into custom categories. For example, I'd like to be able to have categories
for MOCs, Restoration, and so on. That way I could quickly find lists without
having to change the order or toggle categories to hide them what I don't
immediately need.

I name my Wantlists for their intended porpose.

Hi all!

I'm trying to reconstruct a set and I was wondering if there's a way

list. Is there a way to do this?

Collapse the extra search options on the right of the My Inventory page.
Click Items on my Wantlist.
