  Hey BL,

Please spend more time on taxes, that is definitely the one aspect of this site
I care the most about. As a seller, please, please don’t waste your time on developing
seller tools, tools are for dummies. Also, please don’t fix website bugs, they
don’t hurt anyone. And furthermore, please don’t spend any time on catching up
on support desk requests, why bother?

There are only two certainties in life, death and taxes. You can’t develop website
tax implementation when your dead, so please, let’s get these taxes right! From
now on it’s taxes, taxes, taxes! That’s why people visit BL right?

Who’s with me?

Agreed. Voted YES. I'm holding back on selling until implementation is ready.

Well... we do force buyers to give personal information, don’t we?

Let’s see...
Name
Address
email

I agree with the OP, a phone number should be required. Most shippers are starting
to require it, so why not remove some of the hassle in a smooth BL transaction
by requiring a phone number of all buyers?

Oh, I know why this will never happen... taxes...

  Hi there.
As a buyer I often use the wanted lists filter for buying in stores.

Just add the flag of hidding items where wanted quantity
Thank You!

I think that what you are looking for is already there, but somewhat hidden.
After selecting the list open the 'All Filters', the last option in there
is "Hide Items if Have Qty is ≥ Want Qty"

  I'd like to see some small improvements to the way that help-desk tickets are
handled.

First, an auto-reply of receipt, with a ticket number, would be great.

I'm not sure what the help desk process looks like on Admin's end, but I would
expect that tickets can be (at the very least), marked with status updates, and
merged (for duplicates). If so, having an autoresponder could also take advantage
of this structure -- when a ticket is closed, the autoresponder could send the
ticket status update to the person who opened the ticket (any anyone else whose
tickets were merged).

Think about the timeout issues we've been seeing lately. It's fantastic that
Admin has come on to the forum to give us some updates on the status. But only
about ... what ... 1/20 BrickLink users reads the forum? Less than that do it
regularly, and we know how fast posts scroll off the first page.

If status updates could be sent at least to the people who mailed the help-desk,
I think that would go a long way toward keeping those frustrated users "in-the-loop",
in case a significant portion of them are not forum readers.

Bump, because the request for better trouble ticket support has been open for
more than ten years with no response from BrickLink.

We asked for this over ten years ago, a fact that The LEGO Group and @CE_Tanja
may not be aware of.

Because 1000 characters is not enough to begin to tell someone all the suggestions
that have gone unheard.

Hello,

I came accross some old images of how a message alert looks like on https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=125.
But since BrickLink doesn't look like that anymore, my suggestion is to update
the pictures. It is (or at least sounds) very simple and turns these useless
images into helpful ones. Maybe there are other images (or even texts) that ask
for an update too, but I only came accross this one.

Regards,

Anthony.

I would definitely be fine with adding this color to the catalog. It obviously
would not be linked to any inventories, but at least arms and legs from these
keychains could be listed under the proper color for commerce purposes. I see
no reason not to do this.

If your making a minifig for a MOC, Chrome Red arms might be perfect.

the demand for just chrome red arms and legs without the rest of the body would

ever made into the BL catalog for the sake of catalog "completeness" as opposed
to an effort to provide a method to sell and buy something.

I don't know what the effort involved might be, if it's minimal it might
be worth it regardless of whether they sell frequently or not.

We might have spent more effort talking about it!

Because they exist.

What is the point of the catalogue if things are left out because there is no
other reason to put them in?

We allow these already which never were officially released outside of a glued
keychain.

And they are glued, so cant be inventoried, so no parts in chrome red?

At least the arms and legs can be taken off, so it is possible to have singe
parts which would need to be listed in chrome red if you want to sell them.

Btw. this is already mentioned here as part of project 2:

In 13 years on the site I do not believe much as been implemmented that has been
suggested but here is another one to ponder.

Several times a year there are problems on the site regarding e-mails being sent
out. That pertains to either notifies, order notifications, etc. Most recently
there is a problem again with notifies. With orders you can simply check your
order detail page and see if there is something new on there. But with notifies
if you do not receive an email you have nothing. No idea whether the messages
went out nor to how many buyers. And even more importantly you cannot re-do it.
Opportunity lost for both your store and of course, Bricklink. Quite a dilemma
really as apart from your store page (And that is more than limited for this
day and age)there is no other marketing tool available to sellers.

What if the following were implemented

Create a notify log similar to the part out log (which is pretty underwhelming,
but at least it is something).

The notifies log could be created using a query on the SQL transaction log and
it could look something like this in the first instance:

Date No Lots (uniques) No Notifies Status
20/03/2021 333 1257 Success
21/03/2021 158 754 Success


This might take a non-sql person an hour or so to write the code but it would
be worth its weight in gold to sellers. The no of notifies could be a link to
the calendar file which shows the uniques listed and the status, provided it
shows success at least lets you know they were sent out.

Any thoughts?

  Hi,

I've seen a bad situation where BrickLink can told to use a particular shipping
method but the parts does not fit with the method, because on the restriction
on the dimensions. The problem is due to the absence of dimensions of one part
in the catalog.

In the Inventory page, I am able to list all items missing the weight in the
catalog. It would be great to have an identical filter to identify items without
dimensions.

Regards,

I suggest you try the checkbox: Instant Checkout Unavailable on your My Inventory
page to find these items.

You already have all the data in your system, it wouldn't be that hard to
code that option.

First, it’s not clear if you’re talking about Studio or if you want that suggestion
for the website/catalogue.
If the former, the dedicated forum for Studio and PartDesigner is here: https://forum.bricklink.com/
(hover over the red Studio icon on every page, then click “Studio Forum”).
AND, you can already simply do that in Studio: check “Hide unavailable colors”
in the general Colour Palette (on the top right), then select the parts in the
viewport, then open the colour palette, and only the common colours will be available.

  As a new seller I think it would be nice to have a dedicated forum category where
you can ask people to test your store setup when you first open so they can catch
any issues and provide feedback to ease a new seller into their first few days
of opening.

My spin on this subject is that every seller, not just new sellers, should have
a sand box where they be a pretend buyer. They can do everything other
than create a real order, make real payments, or leave real feedback. All of
those would be simulated, from a simulated buyer.

Thank you for this, but this does not do what I am requesting. I am inventorying
all my parts and sets. I am using all 3 stockrooms depending if it is set I
am keeping, parts i am keeping, or parts to keep and sell later.

What I am looking for is when I pick the A, B, or C from the drop down menu,
then it automatically checks the box for storeroom so I don't have to do
2-3 clicks.

Does this make it more clear?

Thanks,
Michael

I don't know of anyway to do this, but like the suggestion. I use the stock
rooms all the time and would love to see the ability to default the check box
and the actual stock room option (A, B or C) by default.

As a new seller I think it would be nice to have a dedicated forum category where
you can ask people to test your store setup when you first open so they can catch
any issues and provide feedback to ease a new seller into their first few days
of opening.

Constraction series parts (Bionicle, HF, SW buildable figures, Slizer, Chima
buildable figures, Ben 10) has really messy categorisation. ATM, there are 4
categories that contain parts from that series, and the way this categorisation
is done isn't best. First and most obvious thing - "Large Figure Torso Armor
2 Chest Holes" (id 90652), which falls off the whole system (mostly, part is
categorised depending on which series presented it first - HF for HF, Bionicle
for Bionicle, Technic for Slizer and Large Figure for any other), being presented
as HF part it's treated as Large Figure one.

But things don't end there. IMO, the way constraction parts are categorised
is really off for Bricklink. What I suggest? We should have 2 categories which
will contain constraction elements: Bionicle-ish ones (parts before 2011), and
CCBS one (constraction parts from 2011 and latter ones), and maybe keep some
ones like socket parts in Technic, but I'm unsure about that. Also maybe
Ben 10 parts should stay in Large Figures, this one is fine to me. This will
suit Bricklink way better than what we have today, IMO.

P.S. If we need to keep things close to what we have today for any reason (having
parts categories based on figure series), I still suggest moving all CCBS to
one single category, their usage is really wide, we can't say about most
of them that it's HF-only part, and part "Technic, Ball Joint 2 x 7 with
2 Ball Joint" (id 32173) should be moved to Bionicle - despite appearing for
first time Slizer, it's too confusing that this part is separated from all
other Bionicle-like parts.

Jen is correct - Searching for a part and adding "-pattern" does exclude
decorated pieces.

Ah, my mistake, I did not see the negation.

Whilst unofficial Stormchaser has drafted up that he does not want to see the
word pattern included for minifig parts and possibly extending that to other
parts in the long term?

https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=2506

"Excluded Words - The following words should not appear in figure titles: "figure"
and "pattern.""

That refers to figure titles not to figure parts titles.

  
Either way when I suggested trying to enable people to be able to search for
non decorated/patterned legs like this:-

https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1256683

The change was made only to be reverted back because yourself and then other
people looked too deeply into how two-tone somehow had anything to do with dual
molded?

Two-Tone = A visual colour combination made up of two colours
Dual Molded = A manufacturing process

The point being that anything that can help narrow down peoples searches can
only be a good thing

How strange that there are no dates in that list? I would like to see which numbers

Just click show dates

You can cross-reference colors with this chart: http://ryanhowerter.net/colors.php

WOW, Beautiful job on that chart!
