I just did a partial refund. It worked, but it was not intuitive.

To do the refund correctly, I had to reverse engineer the tax rate that was used
on the order. That tax rate is not currently disclosed, only the calculated
tax.

The seller should have nothing to do with calculating the sales tax to
do a refund. The seller should only enter the net value of items being refunded,
and the net value (if any) of the shipping being refunded. The sales tax calculation
mechanism should then calculate the correct sales tax part of the refund.

This is going to be a much larger concern once BL supports sales tax exemptions.
It will soon be a concern because of the peculiar way that some states (e.g.
Florida) determine when sales tax applies to shipping, and when it does not.
This is knowledge that the system has, and the seller (in a different state)
usually will not have.

Please make this much more seller friendly, and intuitive.

Agreed! I was a bit over the top about this on this thread, but others had a
more rational discussion about it.

Yes, it's done badly.

I fully agree with this, it's even pretty simple to do technically since
the opposite is done currently. Instead of removing tax from the full amount,
it could add tax to the part amount.

Separate "New price" from "New tiering price"

On the Mass Inventory Upload page, the first dropdown under "Consolidate Lots
By Using:" is:

New Price and New Tier Pricing

Can we get that separated into two dropdowns? I want to set a new price but leave
the old tier pricing.

Or maybe there can be a verify page, like the second page of parting out
a set, where I can see the current tier pricing and make the changes as needed
if the new price is lower than the current tier price?

Seller tool changes please?

Thanks for considering this.

Re: Sort wanted lists by color after item name

As far as I could tell with my wanted list, setting the sort order to 'Item
Name' and clicking on [Search] actually sorts on 'Item Name, Color Name,
Wanted List Name' already.

However, when first going to the page (https://www.bricklink.com/v2/wanted/search.page)
it says [Sort By] = 'Item name' as default selection, but actually the
sort order is still until you press the [Search] button.

I'm sorry, Im not using the Classic Wanted List Search page¹ which has the
correct sorting order displayed in the search form like you describe.

The problem lies exclusively with the New Wanted List Search page² which doesn't
display the sorting order before you actually search, and I can confirm parts
aren't sorted by Color after Item Name, see attached screenshots.

Not sure if you would know the answer but was there a reason for these to be
assigned rac## as the minifig ID rather than 30598##?

Every other 1-piece "minifig" I've seen was catalogued with the part number.
Would make them much easier to find.

I tried to have them assigned the part numbers, but the catalog admins would
not accept my requests.

Gist: I'd like the "Item Name" sort order in the wanted list search to secondary
sort by Color Name, like "Color Name, Item Name" but flipped.

Reasoning: When I'm filling my wanted lists from my collection, I'm doing
it by Item Name because this is how my collection is sorted. However, it's
hard for me to see how many of a part in a single color I need since it seems
the secondary sorting order is by Wanted list name which is pretty random. As
a result, The same Elements (Part + Color) aren't grouped together and it's
somewhat inconvenient.

It's a small change for a small inconvenience.
