| Hi,
As a seller I sometimes have trouble with deciphering some buyer adresses. Specifically
with international shipments to foreign countries I often need to contact the
buyer for what is what.
I was wondering if it would be possible if Bricklink could show something like
an adress template in the orders like mentioned below, so that it's clear
what is what instead it shows all the Adress info without clarification.
Jack Brick
Legolane 100b-2
12345 Legocity
Baseplateregion
Legoland
Name:Jack Brick
Street: Legolane
Housenumber: 100b
Appartment:
Floor: 2
Zipcode: 12345
City: Legocity
Region: Baseplateregion
Country: Legoland
Etc.....
With kind regards,
Chris

| 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.

|
| 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.

| I am trying to add 30598, which is marked for deletion, due to the colors being
individually assigned part #'s. If you post that an item is going to be
deleted, due to this issue, then please supply the part #'s, on that page...ie:
30598, so that we can simply add the new part #'s to our inventory.
I cannot find the new part #'s assigned to this item in the various colors
that I currently have.
Can you help, please????

|
| 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.

| Proposal for extension of the catalog.
I think there is a very big market for monochrome minifigures. So far, these
are considered custom items.
I would like to suggest establishing a separate category for monochrome minifigures
in the "standard version" of all colors.
For example "Minifigure Monochrome - white".
I look forward to your estimation and feedback

|
| Hi
I don't know if this had been on this forum before, but I really get irritated
by the fact that there is a default shipping (and payment) method preset.
Over and over buyers select the wrong shipping method because this is the default
option. So order a small object for 12 euro and choose parcel track&trace @ 32,50
for shipping. This means I first have to ask them if this is really the option
they want, wait for their answer, correct shipping method etc.
Or in a less extreme example send out the invoice and get buyers who are upset
about the high shipping costs.
Today at least 5 out of ten orders have what looks a not quite logical shipping
method chosen by the buyer. If I make another method default it won't change
this, buyers will select letter untracked for a 2 kg worth 200 euro shipping.
Maybe I do something wrong, so first let me ask if there is a method to let buyers
FORCE to make a choice about shipping (and payment!!) and if this is not possible
PLEASE make it possible to sellers NOT to have the default shipping and payment
method pre-selected in their shop.
As a buyer I also sometimes make the mistake to click to fast and bypass the
option to change the shipping and payment methods. So I understand this happens
and I don't blame my buyers. (but the system...)
So it will be much less frustration for both buyer and seller.
Sorry if this is a silly question for which there is a simple solution, and so
there will be one thanks for telling me how I should change the setting.

|
| Wanted list and Order lists currently are sorted differently for item name and
color name.
As a result, it's been inconvenient to match parts from order placed to wanted
lists.
Example for item name:
Given a "Plate 1 x 8" and a "Plate 1 x 10":
- In wanted lists, "Plate 1 x 10" will appear before "Plate 1 x 8" (strict alphabetical
order)
- In order lists, "Plate 1 x 8" will appear before "Plate 1 x 12" (correct numerical
order)
Example for color name"
Given a "Reddish Brown" part and a "Pearl Gold" part:
- In wanted lists, the "Reddish Brown" part will appear before the "Pearl Gold"
part (plain colors first like in color selection drop down lists)
- In order lists, the "Pearl Gold" part will appear before the "Reddish Brown"
part (strict alphabetical order)
Now, I don't mind either of these couple of ordering (although I have a personal
preference for correct numerical order for item names and plain colors first)
but I'd like for both ordering to be consistent across the whole BrickLink
website.
Thank you for your consideration!

|
| I have a very, very large model of a cathedral. I originally designed it in LDD
18 years ago and now updating it in stud.io.
The cathedral has a balcony with railings. I've created a couple of custom
parts for the railings to fit around the columns... the presence of these railings
in my IO file blocks the upload to my wanted list because they are not genuine
parts available through BL.
I'd like to see those parts ignored... or at least an option to do so.
I know there's the workaround of going through the IO file and deleting them
to upload. But my file has over 46000 parts, these custom parts are embedded
several layers deep in multiple sub-sub-sub-models... which means they're
difficult to find because stud.io doesn't have a fully function find-replace
mechanism (I and plenty of others have requested it, and requested that it work
with sub-models as well as main model).
This is still a work in progress, so I'm not really wanting to delete them
because re-instating them is going to be a pain. Plus with the size of the model
stud.io doesn't behave quite as it should anyway because of all the memory
leaks in it (which is going to affect any attempt to copy-paste the file then
delete the custom parts in the copy)...
PS. I'm sure I've requested this before, but for the life of me cannot
find it. stud.io isn't the only thing with memory leaks

|
| Had a thought about the previous discussion where it is quite confusing currently
for processing refunds for US states that have collected sales tax. As it stands,
the refund box has us enter an amount, and then below it calculates the amount
that will come from the seller/PayPal, and the amount from the taxes BrickLink
collected, so a seller has to know the rate of tax for the state of the buyer
and also include it in the total.
Suggestion:
-Beside the box where you enter the refund amount, include a "tax inclusive"
and "tax exclusive" radio button where the seller can select it.
This would allow sellers to not have to know the rate of state for the state
and manually calculate it by selecting "tax exclusive", meaning the calculation
below will take that amount, and ADD tax to the total (not as a % of the total
the seller put in).
But this also allows what Niek (qwertyboy) had suggested where if you want to
give a higher total amount, you can check tax inclusive so it'll act the
way that it's currently programmed.

I assume the dictionary is local to devices so maybe don’t allow spellcheck to

|
| I know that suggesting new features might mean hitting a wall, but here we go.
As the Catalog Admins only accept pictures of items in colors that are not in
inventories if the part is in hand, then update the known colors list with this
data.
Also, this might tie with an update to be able to find parts that have a color
image from this page: https://www.bricklink.com/catalogColors.asp (now, if they
are not in a inventory they don't show up.)
And even further, show the selected color image not the standard one...
Hope this is read by a BL Dev someday

| 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.
