| Please stop blocking my access to the parts I need. I am extremely annoyed that
you won't allow me to buy items from so many sellers I need to because they
aren't paying my taxes. They "don't support orders that ship to Massachusetts".
You are literally screwing up my access to rare parts that are only available
on this site. You are hurting part of this hobby for me. STOP IT! I am only
a buyer and not a seller. I understand you must be going through some growing
pains trying to get all the sellers to pay taxes, but don't take it out on
the buyers. Seriously stop blocking my access to the parts I need. Not allowing
me to ship items to my home from sellers who are willing to ship them to me is
a legitimate reason for me to be pissed. You are forcing me to go buy clone
parts off site when I don't really want to as an immediate direct result
of this action.

| 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?

| Hi there.
As a buyer I often use the wanted lists filter for buying in stores.
But, annoyingly, I always see all the parts the store has from the selected lists,
instead of only the parts that I am still missing.
Just add the flag of hidding items where wanted quantity
Thank You!

| 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.

|
| 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.

| One thing I would find VERY useful would be the ability to pick a selection of
part and then see what colours they have in common.
I do a lot of MOC's in Studio before I build them in the real. A lot of
times I just want to a colour change but many parts are not available in all
colours. If I could choose the parts I want to check and then see which colours
they all have in common it would save a ton of time. I doubt I'm the only
one who would find this useful.
You already have all the data in your system, it wouldn't be that hard to
code that option.

|
| 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.

| If you have multiple wishlists, some older, some newer, some ordered, some not,
it may be difficult to remember what you still need to order. So I'd suggest
a checkbox or something inside a wishlist to mark a whole list or individual
parts as "ordered". They wouldn't appear in your wanted part listing, so
you'd see what parts you're actually still missing.

| Price Guide lots that are part of a super lot have (S) next to the quantity.
Lots with a bulk quantity have (xNN) where NN is the bulk quantity.
Please add (tNN) when a lot has a tier discount. "t" for tier and the number
NN is the smallest quantity tier offered for that lot. For example: if a seller's
lot has tiers of 100 and 500 then show (t100)
Having just (T) or (t) in the price guide would be better than nothing.
Thoughts anyone? If a lot has both tier and bulk how about (x,t) with no quantity?

| Author: | infinibrix | | Posted: | Mar 12, 2021 07:08 | | Subject: | Colour Abbreviations for Catalog Navigation? | | Viewed: | 205 times | | Topic: | Suggestions | | Status: | Open | | Vote: | [Yes|No] | |
|
| Just an idea I’m putting out there for future consideration because with colour
abbreviations it can give you useful options for catalog use/navigation!
For starters I glanced at all the different colours and it didn’t appear to be
too difficult to give each colour a suitable 3 Letter abbreviation though it
goes without saying that a few colours may be forced to have a 4 letter abbreviation
but they will likely be just a very few obscure colours such as Very Light Bluish
Grey (VLBG) or Trans Light Bright Green (TLBG) but even if it became problematic
some colours may not even benefit as much from the need to have an abbreviation
compared to the more widely and commonly used colours
Either way here are just a few quick abbreviation examples:-
Black – BLK
White – WHT
Reddish Brown – RBR
Dark Brown – DBR
Light Bluish Grey – LBG
Dark Bluish Grey – DBG
Dark Grey – DGR
Red – RED
Blue – BLU
Dark Blue – DBL
Green – GRN
Olive Green – OGN
Tan – TAN
Dark Tan – DTN
Orange – ORG
Dark Orange – DOR
Yellow – YEL
It’s also worth mentioning that the idea would be to have these abbreviations
on display wherever we see colour descriptions which is pretty much anywhere
in the catalog and so if we had abbreviations like this I don’t think it would
take long for people to memorize them and put them to good use so that instead
of searching for ‘Dark Tan hair’ they can just search ‘DTN hair’ or instead of
‘Light Bluish Gray Helmets’ they can just search ‘LBG Helmets’. The other benefit
is that where space is limited in descriptions a Torso could contain ‘RBR Belt
Buckle’ instead of ‘Reddish Brown Belt Buckle’
However once you have colour abbreviations in places their uses can be extended
in other ways too for instance if they are combined with a minifigure part to
create a unique combined colour/part reference such as Legs-DBR (Dark Brown Legs)
or Torso-GRN (Green Torso) these combos can be exclusively used to narrow down
search results for minifigures in ways where you barely need to worry about trying
to guess or work out what keywords have been used and in some cases you won’t
even need to know the name of the character!
For Example if I start with this Henry Minifigure description in its most basic
form it would look something like this:-
Henry - Torso-RBR, Hair-DTN, Head-LNO, Legs-OGN
Granted it’s not the most visually pleasing of minifig descriptions and right
now you’re probably thinking it looks a confusing mess but translated it basically
reads ‘Reddish Brown Torso, Dark Tan Hair, Light Nougat Head and Olive Green
Legs
Now even before I add keywords to that description or even if it already had
keywords and I wasn’t sure what keywords to try? If I had that minifig in my
hand and I didn’t know the name of the character I will at least still be reassured
that with a simple search for some or all of those main minifig part colours
it will either bring up what I’m looking for or narrow it down considerably.
For example if I search for say both ‘Hair-DTN Legs-OGN’ that Henry minifig will
be the only minifigure match that comes up because it’s the only minifigure in
the catalog that currently includes both Dark Tan hair and Olive Green Legs.
Now even if I search for both ‘Hair-DTN Head-LNO’ I’m sure I will still only
get a very small page of matches and that’s before I’ve even attempted to narrow
down with character names Like Luke or Han or the colour/description of the torsos/legs
etc etc...
Essentially if minifigure descriptions were laid out in a format something like
this:-
Minifig Character/Type (*) - Torso/Arms-COLOUR (*), Hair/Headgear-COLOUR(*),
Head-COLOUR (*), Legs/Hips-COLOUR (*), (*Other Keywords)
where the (*) represents where keywords can be added for each core minifigure
component (as/when necessary) it would then mean a revised and more detailed
example of the Henry Minifigure might look something like this even though the
description may not need to be quite as detailed for helping to find this particular
minifig:-
Henry - Torso-RBR, Arms-WHT (Brown Waistcoat, White Tunic), Hair-DTN (Swept Back
Ponytail), Head-LNO (DS, Open Mouth Smile/Worried), Legs-OGN
Its worth mentioning that the ‘DS’ after head represents Double Sided Head (SS
= Single Sided) which would allow you to narrow down even further with just a
couple of extra letters added within search criteria
However one thing to also notice is that you can still search for specific colours
such as the ‘White’ print details found on legs or torsos such as the white tunic
without needing to worry about it bringing up core components in white as they
will only come up if you search ‘Arms-WHT’, Legs-WHT, Torso-WHT, Head-WHT, Hair-WHT
whereas searching for white alone would mean the colour can be set aside for
prints allowing you to be more specific with your overall minifig search results...
Here are a few more examples of how similar minifigs might look:-
Han Solo - Torso-WHT (Shirt), Hair-RBR, Head-LNO (SS, Smirk), Legs-RBR
Han Solo - Torso-WHT (Shirt), Hair-RBR (Wavy), Head-LNO (DS, Closed Eyes), Legs-DBR
Han Solo (Senior) - Torso-DBR (Jacket), Hair-LBG, Head-LNO (DS, Angry), Legs-BLK
(Printed Gunbelt)
Han Solo (Hoth) - Torso-DBL (Jacket), Headgear-DBL (Parka Hood), Head-LNO (SS,
Smirk), Hips-DBL, Legs-TAN (Printed Gunbelt)
Knight (Crusader Lion) - Torso-Red, Arms-BLU, Headgear-DGR (Neck Protector Helmet),
Head-YEL (SS), Hips-BLK, Legs-BLU
I appreciate in might not be to everyone’s liking but it does for the most part
seem to work and I’m pretty sure I could even use it to tackle all those samey
spider-man minifigs without having to worry too much about relying on vague (Web
Pattern) keywords and focusing more on the definitive colours of Torsos, legs,
hips, arms and definitive styles such as printed/legs arms etc…
But again just some ideas for another day perhaps?

|
| Hello community,
I probably have missed the correct option to select, but heres my problem and
suggestion anyways.
I´ve ran into trouble with instant checkout on my little store, while buyers
have items ordered, which have no dimensions listed.
Since most lego parts are lightweight, for example the letter option (20/75g)
will be used if only weight (or nothing) is , and the restriction for height
(max 5mm for a letter austrian post) does no efect.
So shipping costs for example are set to 1€ for instant checkout, but with the
real dimensions of the item costs will be like 5,60 €.
I guess you get what I mean.
Is there any option already implemented?
"Backup for instant checkout" does not solve my problem
Would it be good to add an option in the settings, if items do not have dimensions
saved, and the buyer has one or more of them in the shopping-cart when checking
out, a warning should be shown and only QUOTE will be available?
I think this would be a great addition for both sellers and buyers. I appreciate
to get the correct shipping costs before I pay myself. And not having a discussion
after, maybe resulting in a bad feedback for no reason.
Thank you in advance for any help or opinions,
Gunny

| A couple of days ago I looked into some of my wanted lists to find several parts
marked as not applicable. I then went back to the catalogue entries and found
the issue. when adding an item to a wanted list before selecting a colour, the
image that shows is a coloured one, not one asking you to pick a colour. People
who just take a glance are fooled by a coloured image. I think it would be worth
adding a generic image, one that says please pick a colour or something like
that. The image below shows what I mean

Since BrickLink is global, having the site down for a few minutes will always
inconvenience someone. As your tech support is not 24/7, it makes sense to make
changes to the site when someone is around to fix problems.

| Why must buyers search for items with marked down prices in a store?
Please make a specials category on the left navigation frame on top of sets which
include items on sale or any other special interest items with the lot count
next to such items as well. So that instead of all the sets a seller has to offer
being the first thing a buyer sees, have a specials and sale items category first
which can be navigated in the same manner as sets, parts or anything else (this
might make it easier to see custom items as well).

|
| We've had this situaton happen a couple of times in the past:
A new or new-ish user to the site places and order and receives it. There is
either a part missing, something that got broken in transit or any other situation.
The user, not being used to dealing with the platform, goes to the order and
sees the 'report a problem' link. They click it, follow the instructions
and then BLAM! we have an NSS to deal with. When we explain the situation to
them they understand that they should have sent a message and they remove the
NSS but this is counterintuitive.
If someone clicks on the 'report a problem' link the system should work
differently. Example, they click the link, select that a part was missing
or whatever and then they get a popup with two choices. One is contact buyer
and sends a message, the other is create an NSS and it has something like 'I
contacted the buyer and did not receive a response for 24 hours and want to go
ahead with further escalation' or something to that effect.
This would make things easier on everyone and help educate customers better.
Last time we received such an NSS, the client removed it and said that he had
realized that he had made the mistake himself while ordering, this never should
have been escalated. NSS is a process that requires a lot more work to resolve
than simple messages.

|
| What's the process for color selection when making the little "swatch" next
to every color in the catalog? My guess is taking a picture of a part and eyedropping
the color in Photoshop. For the less straightforward colors like trans, chrome,
speckled, etc. how do you decide what's the best representation of them as
one solid color?
Going along with that, I think it would be cool if those special colors had more
unique swatches. For example, glitter's look like regular colors, so I think
there should be little shiny dots to separate it from the solid colors. Speckled
should be speckled with their respective colors. Obviously it would be a ridiculous
priority for admins, but it would be a nice detail maybe someday.

|
| Many times I run into the problem that the auto cart creating feature creates
unnecessary carts. It does that because that other store has the part a bit cheaper.
So it saves like 0.1 Euro. However, the extra card creates an extra 3-4 Euro
shipping cost.
Would it be possible to add the following features.
Filter not only for seller Country but to seller City/Location. This would facilitate
personal pickup to cut down on the shipping.
Also add an input field for a flat shipping cost figure. In my country, the domestic
shipping cost is about 4 Euro. If I could add that into the equation, I think
Bricklink would cut down on the needless carts and would tend create the optimal
solution with Shipping cost included.
Thank you!

| Hi,
I was wondering if it’s possible to let people see which country they’re from
(little flags). For instance: at the feedback page of a store. So new buyers
can see directly (flag) the feedback posts of fellow countrymen. It would be
more convincing for them to buy from other countries. And with this COVID it
will help to convince them that shipping is ok from other countries.
Just an idea

and I would really appreciate sublists (or superlists) in the Wanted List section.
What I mean is basically the possibility to have a new list inside of a Wanted
List. For example a regular Wanted List containing a load of items AND another
list called "extra parts". Or a Wanted List called "castle" containing my castle
related lists. I hope you get the idea. Please make this happen!!

|
| It will be known to many that I’ve always favoured the idea of using official
Lego colour names not because I like them better or think they describe the
colours better (Many are very odd choices!) but simply because it creates less
uncertainty about what I’m selling and what the customer thinks they are buying
however I’ve made that argument already and now’s probably the time to accept
that Bricklink colour names are unlikely to match that of the Lego group!
However one thing that has always jarred me somewhat is the use of the term ‘Bluish’
to describe the greys when I’m sure if it was’nt for the need to fit around the
older existing greys already in the catalog both would have no doubt just been
given the simple description Dark/Light Grey instead of Dark/Light Bluish Grey?
The thing is the way I see it Bricklink uses its own colour names for three main
reasons:-
A) Lego never provided a colour name for them to use (at least not in the early
days!)
B) They wanted their colour names to better describe and match the actual shade
of colour!
C) They wanted their colour names to be short and to the point!
However when it comes to those last two points colours like ‘Dark Bluish Grey’
and ‘Light Bluish Grey’ both fail to meet that ideal objective compared to most
of the other colour names that have been created by Bricklink. Both descriptions
are lengthy and somewhat misleading? If anything I see more ‘Bluish Grey’ in
a colour like Sand blue than either of these two greys and when all said and
done they are basically just Light and Dark Grey?
So what does it matter and what to do?
Well because they are both what I would call very common CORE central colours
in Legos colour palette it stands to reason that we should perhaps think about
giving them the most suitably descriptive name for them (Light and Dark grey?)
after all that is what any newbie or anyone else for that matter would define
them as?
Both of these colours are ‘very current’ where as the discontinued greys are
not so current and therefore probably don’t warrant the need for the best descriptive
name for them any longer? In fact if we were to rename the existing Light and
Dark Grey as ‘Old Light Grey’ or ‘Classic Light Grey’ I think this would also
be very helpful to newbies when they are confronted with so many different shades
of grey?
I would also consider using the ‘Old/Classic’ tag for some other discontinued
colours too like Brown i.e ‘Old Brown’ I have less problem with Reddish brown
remaining as that is at least what Lego themselves call it but ‘bluish’ is a
made up bricklink term that has little relevance to the actual colour nor does
Lego use the term? Lego may have added more blue to the actual colour mix than
the old greys but in appearance they are simply intended to be a Light and Dark
Grey in a new and current form hence I feel we should refer to them as such?
Also wherever we use the term ‘Very Light’ can I suggest using the term ‘Pale’.
i.e ‘Pale Grey’ instead of ‘Very Light Bluish Grey’ as shorter names are much
easier for people to read off the site and to label/Inventory their stocks even
if that does mean some initial disruption?
Lastly shouldn’t we at least try and mirror Lego’s reference to Grey and use
‘Grey’ instead of ‘Gray’ in the descriptions?
I hope others will share the same logic in what I’m trying to suggest or perhaps
I’m barking up the wrong tree? Thoughts?

|
| Hi all,
For the second time in a week I got an order from what appears to be a scam account.
Different names and email addresses but the shipping address is the same.
The first time, the bogus feedback was removed by the admins but I was left with
the transaction costs. I guess the bogus feedback will be removed again and thankfully
this time they didn't use instant checkout so no transaction costs.
In an ideal world, I would like to be able to place the shipping address on a
stop list so that the problem is stopped at the source and I don't have to
deal with any part of it at all.
Even better, BL could maintain such a stop list and require manual verification
before buying privileges are granted again after an account is closed as bogus.
Something similar to what sellers need to do before opening a store.
For now, I've solved at least the transaction costs problem by excluding
the country from instant checkout shipping methods but I can imagine that's
not a solution for everyone, especially when such an account is domestic.
Looking forward to your thoughts,
Ant

I would like to propose a UI option for buying parts with auto-select.
Everytime I purchase my parts, I try to minimize the number of stores due to
the additional shipping fees. Therefore, it would be good to have an option to
include the estimated shipping fees per store (for example $5 per store not necessary
to be exact) so that auto-select considers the shipping cost while still minimizing
the total cost.

I've never received a quote cancellation myself, but assuming it doesn't
already say so, it would be beneficial that when a quote cancellation is automatically
sent by the BrickLink system due to an item being sold out, that an automated
message to the buyer is sent out and indicating which item caused the quote cancellation
trigger.
I just received yet another message from a newer buyer asking why their quote
was cancelled and they wanted to accept it. To the buyer, it looks like sellers
are cancelling their quotes, when it's simply that a part that they ordered
is no longer available.

|
| The formula for the Wanted List Percentage does not properly calculate the percentage
of "HAVE" parts compared to the "TOTAL" Parts. Should the % shown be the amount
of "Have" pieces vs the total number of "Wanted" pieces, or is it intended to
provide some other detail? It's not showing the percent of LOTS completed,
and its not showing the percent of Parts with Have qty equaling the Want qty.
The formula seems to be working is a convoluted way, combining the percentage
for Want/Have and the percentage of Lots with any Have parts, and the total number
of lots.
Example #1 to illustrate the issue:
Wanted list with TWO lots.
Lot #1, Want 100, Have 10 (This is 10% of the want value)
Lot #2, Want 900, Have 0 (This is 0% of the want value)
The Percentage bar should show 1% (10 of 1,000), but the formula produces 5%.
Example #2 to illustrate the issue:
Lot #1, Want 100, Have 0 (This is 0% of the want value)
Lot #2, Want 900, Have 900 (This is 100% of the want value)
The percentage bar should show 90% (900 of 1,000), but the formula produces 50%.
Example #3 to illustrate the issue:
Lot #1, Want 100, Have 0 (This is 0% of the want value)
Lot #2, Want 450, Have 900 (This is 50% of the want value)
The percentage bar should show 45% (450 of 1,000), but the formula produces 25%.
In all examples, the percentage shown does not equate to anything tangible, real
or useful, and if very misleading
Unfortunately, this misinformation has led to many, many lost hours and much
frustration.
Please work to correct the formula, so that the percentage bar is a real, actual,
useful representation of the data.
If by some odd situation, the bar is performing as intended, please clarify its
intended function.
Thank you,
Brandon

| Been getting a lot of inquiries recently from newer buyers asking about our bulk
lots that are sold in multiples of x10, x50, x100.
Was thinking that maybe the text i.e (x50) or (x100) on such bulk lots could
have a blue text with a link that explains that these lots have to be purchased
in the multiples that are inside bracketed amount and a clarification that the
price is per piece and not for a lot that contain 100 pieces (yes, we get buyers
who ask if we sell a bag of 100 pins for 2 cents per bag.)
While it seems intuitive to some of us, it might be a nice gesture toward new
users.
Obviously not a priority project.
"Here's a sample (anonymous of course) of a message we got this week:
Hello. Trying to figure out pricing on some items. For example "Black Technic,
Pin with Friction Ridges Lengthwise, Staggered, with or without Center Slots"
item 2780 it lists as QTY: 42,200 (x100) and says its a bag of 100. The price
is $0.02. If I want 150 is the quantity 150 or 2? I.e. is it 0.02 per bag or
per piece?"
Thanks for considering.

that I could see how much delivery would cost, but before I knew it I had an
order confirmation number and so-on.
The fact that the order was about to be placed should be made a *lot* clearer,

I managed to send a cancellation request about one minute after placing the order

I don't know if this idea has been floated about before, but I'm a bit
of a 'wishlist basketeer', meaning I often build baskets based on what
I feel will come in useful, or what I want, and leave it to sit. I do this with
all sorts of stores to find the best pricing and shipping costs, which can, needless
to say, get quite messy.
What I do right now is have prioritised baskets in tabs, but it's not very
tidy or efficient.
I reckon it would be useful, not just to me, but to everyone, if we could arrange
our baskets in priority order; like a drag and drop list of baskets, or a rating
system or something.
What do y'all think?

| Hi,
I have a suggestion for the wanted list in order to be a little more visual.
What about adding color codes for the completion bar of each wanted list?
If you have several wanted lists for several items, it would be good to see them
in green only when they reach 100% so you instantly see which one you can start
building.
Then, you could have yellow for anything less than 100% and red for anything
les than 50%.
It is just my opinion, but it would give a better look at the wanted list page.
Thanks,

I have recently bought my first parts from BrickLink, everything went smoothly
and i even got some parts in home!
However i just realised, that some parts in my XML list, why i bought and then
uploaded, contain some items with their color tagged as "(not applicable)", aka
the color isnt defined yet. However since this is my first buy i didnt notice
that these parts would be appointed a colour at random.
A great suggestion to prevent this from happening to me, or any new buyer is
maybe to add a small warning that you have some parts which do not have a colour
appointed.

| Hey Bricklink,
I would love to add dimensions to my parts that don't have them, but unfortunately
they don't sell rulers that measure by studs and bricks at the hardware store.
Also, I didn't take the brick-ometry class in high school. Can you please
change the dimensions of parts to an international standard? Metric, Imperial,
I don't care, as long as more than just the users of this site know what
they mean and I can buy a ruler at the dollar store that measures them.
It would be a great help for shipping, especially when parts over a certain dimension
can't be shipped via a certain package size. I know, I can't believe
Canada Post doesn't convert bricks to centimetres, what snobs.
I hate to say this but brick owl is good for one thing, they list their measurements
in cm. Guess where I go most of the time for part dimensions? I won't spoil
it.
So in conclusion, please, please, please change the way parts are measured in
Bricklink from studs and bricks to centimetres, millimetres, or even inches (counting
by twelves - shudder).
Thanks for your consideration!

|
| Given all the posts about "why cant I ship to the US" and etc regarding the new
sales tax system, I think Bricklink should send a notice to all sellers (or all
sellers who ship to the USA and don't have onsite payment if that's possible)
telling them what they need to do regarding sales tax and onsite payment. I suspect
a lot of sellers just don't realize they need to use onsite payment because
of the new sales tax rules.

I'd like to know what country the order is actually going to, showing the

| Would it be beneficial to have a dedicated forum topic Taxes, with the
charter of discussing all things related to transactional taxes collected via
BrickLink, VAT and Sales tax?
A go-to forum space specific to the charter. The topic could be umbrellaed as
a subtopic by the more general Help. Perhaps giving the Admin another
and specific place to post updates on what is still a fairly new and complicated
implementation, and to find the opportune question and broadly-held concerns.
It might be worth doing, if only provisionally?

|
| 1) If: "Sets" are a specific collection of parts.
2) And: Such collections of parts are still considered "sets" whether complete
or incomplete.
3) And: "Minifigures" are a specific collection of parts.
4) Then by logic: Such collections of parts are still considered "minifigures"
whether complete or incomplete.
Ergo, BrickLink is broken. One currently cannot list an incomplete minifigure.
They must instead be broken to their basic components and listed as single parts.....and
this makes no sense from both a logical standpoint or a buyer-friendly standpoint.
We NEED "incomplete/complete" definitions for minifigures (and for all inventoried
items for that matter) to keep this marketplace competitive. A $20 11-piece
minifigure missing an inconsequential part should be possible to list as "incomplete"
and defining the missing item. To have to break this nearly complete collection
composing the minifigure down to individual parts, pieces a seller likely does
not want to break apart given it is more desirable or worth more as a whole instead
of pieces, makes eBay a better marketplace for the item. eBay should NEVER be
a better option than BrickLink on the ability to list and sell LEGO. Something
is wrong with this site when this is the case.
PLEASE correct this and add the same complete/incomplete definitions for minifigures.
It certainly cannot hurt the marketplace and will actually improve it by helping
to eliminate the ever so common "missing ----" descriptions sellers often
currently use (though shouldn't) under the same catalog entry for the undefined
figure. Buyers shop specific figures, and as such should have the option to
buyer complete or incomplete as meets their needs.

| Hi there,
It would be great if the country of a user could be displayed in the forum's
message lists - along with the other user information like feedback, etc. Especially
in the "Sales" forum you could then quickly deduce whether the offer might be
interesting for you or not.
As an example I'm from Germany, but many offers are from the US which are
usually not interesting to me due to high shipping costs.
Best regards

|
| When you are in a store and filter by items on your wanted list the auto-fill
[min | max] option appears. However, it seems as both of these options are useless
in their current state and a different option would be useful.
auto-fill max automatically adds all pieces a seller has available to your cart.
If you want 1 and the seller has 14,000 you get 14,000 added. I'm not sure
how that is useful. You have to manually adjust every lot to the correct qty.
auto-fill min automatically selects the number you have set in your wanted list
but ignores price, so if a seller has a $.01 piece listed for $400 you get that
in your cart. You again have to manually adjust every lot.
A much more useful feature would be an autofill like the autofill min that fills
in the correct qty, but one that also accounts for the max price that you have
set in your wanted list and does not add pieces to your cart that are more than
you want to pay.

|
| Hi, I don't know about you, but I'm mad about those sellers that destroy
the sale price average with sky high prices.
Easy remedy, kick them out or change the rules. But since that won't happen,
I thought of something else, a median price in the price guide.
A median price average removes the higher and lower values and gives a more realistic
or typical price for an item.
We could have and option between average or median, or have the two displayed
in the price guide. I think it should be pretty easy to code and add to Bricklink.
And a much needed improvement.
Any thoughts ?

Can we as sellers have the option to review and upload them automatically even

|
| Hello everyone!
I would like to share my idea:
1) Add feature “I have this brick!”
That will allow to create a list of bricks with a simple count field where users
can store their info on how many brick they have. Also it would be nice to have
this option on a whole set. It like a “wanted list”, but let’s call it “owned
list”. In this case I will no longer try to remember what I have. Ok, that was
a first part, and yes, we can use wanted lists to store that data, but wait!
Here goes the second one:
2) Add feature “I can build it!”
That would be amazing! If I trying to find something to build from the original
catalogs, I must take a risks that I will not have the original look of it, or
some missing bricks that I does not own etc.
Just when user will open any set, BrickLink will show that mark “Yes, you can
build it!” or “5 parts missing, find seller with easy buy” (of course it must
appears when you own other 85-90% from the set, or better — allow user to change
this option somewhere). And bam! — my cart if full of missing bricks, that I
needed.
That’s it for now.
Thank you for all you job so far with this web Brickland and have a nice holidays
and a great 2021!

| Hello,
again looking for admin's people.
I am thinking about a new service I would be greatful wheren't possible before
Lego sold brickLink, that is a request for unexisting pieces, i.e., the piece
exist but not in the desired color.
I explain with a sample: 48336 blue exists, but there is not a 60470b the same
color, I need to combine each other to do a full-blue construction containing
some of both.
Should be fixed a minmum number for the new forniture to start, so that who is
asking have to specify is a promise to buy.
I think this would ease a lot new MOCs to be done, and make people understanding
the added value for the joint venture between Lego and BrickLink.

|
| Hello all,
helpfully read by an administrator/"site programmer".
I am dreaming an additional feature in Wanted List service, in a word intersection
instead of total...
This is not very informative, so I try to explain what I mean: wanted list currently
works so that when you have more than one and you have set up "Having", system
compute the sum of them for the same piece/color.
An alternative concept is the system compute the maximum "Having" for the same
piece/color, in other word, you consider each wanted list as ingredients for
a receipe for a certain build, but you are not interested to build all of the
wanted list, just the possibility to build any of them i.e. In order to do a
new build, you don't care do disassemble any other.
This is obviously an addition to the various feature, not a replace to the current
way it works.
I hope you understood.
Comments are appreciated

|
| Ever since the 'new' version of the inventory function has been introduced
it has made updating and adding items far more difficult as follows:
1) When clicking 'price' next to an inventory item the default is to
show the detailed price guide instead of the really useful pop-up showing the
current avg. price, which can then be dismissed so I can update accordingly without
losing my place in the inventory list I have displayed.
2) If I forget to select the 'old' version of the inventory list and
I am say on the 2nd page of the list of items and I click on 'price'
I get the longer 'price guide' version but when I navigate back to the
inventory list it takes me back to the beginning of the list (i.e. the first
page), I then have to scroll all the way down or change pages to get back to
where I was adding as lot of time to the process.
3) The new and old version of the inventory list show different items (the 'new'
version shows less), which is annoying when trying to use the 'old' version
in order to bypass the problems set out above.
Either let users default to the 'old' version for all searches and or
fix the problem 2) above and preferably put the 'pop up' in as the default
'price guid' when clicking on 'price' as that is the most efficient.
I have raised these issues before but nothing seems to be done about them, surely
if new functionality is introduced it should be at least as good as the old version,
it isn't even possible to default the 'old' version which I have
to click on every time I change my search otherwise my productivity when adding
items is massively impacted.
Any suggestions as it's causing me significant problems.
Thanks
Cheers
Steve (a seller and buyer for over 10 years)

|
| I'm sure I'm not alone in getting hit with plenty of NSS claims because
USPS is taking too long to deliver packages. Once the mail carrier takes the
package, there's nothing I can do about how long they take to deliver it
to the buyer. I know that buyers need their protection too, but too many stores
are going to be shut down because of the impatience of buyers. Maybe during these
trying times for USPS, the ability to file NSS be pushed back a certain amount
of time? As far as I know now, you can file it immediately after placing the
order. Maybe something like 2 weeks after the order is placed before you can
file an NSS. I would think that most if not all sellers would have long since
shipped the package out within 2 weeks. The lag time on my store is about 4 days,
but never have I taken 2 weeks to ship out a package.
