I'm comfortable either way except with degrees Celsius. When my Canadian
friends talk about "it was so hot today, 30 degrees" I just can't wrap my

The address should be normalized, as to the standards of the postal authority
that handles the destination country. Having said that, there are a small number
of physical addresses in the USA that do not receive direct mail delivery. They
are instead given a free PO Box, and have to collect their mail there.

Very much support this!
I run into this quite often. Not only here, but also on the other site.
It should not at all be difficult to program since what's displayed on your
screen is the value of a database field connected to it. Just add the name of
the field (perhaps modified to make it more understandable) as a label.
Most international shipments are now done by preparing a label on the website
of your shipping agency and they require exact information for many fields, which
are different from country to country.
Also: make a telephone number mandatory for buyers: I need to enter a
telephone number for shipments outside of the EU. For Postnl I can also enter
an email address but this may be different in other countries.

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

| 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.

|
| 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'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.

I vote no. These are custom items, and should be listed as custom items. You
can search for custom monochrome minifigs easily enough. People seem to be charging

So please keep them out of the regular minifig listings.
