How are attached the two Wedges (29119 and 29120) on the left and right side

Is there some magic trick here ? LOL
And what's in the circled part ?

The filters are on the Buy page: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/wanted/buy.page
, the link is in the Want menu / heart-shaped icon on every page, or if you click
Buy when looking at a Wanted List (not EasyBuy on the list of Wanted Lists).
You’ll need to click the “Expand” link next to the phrase “Store Filters” to
see those filters.
See this help page https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=2445 it has pictures
and explanation for the basics.
Feel free to explore and click here and there, nothing bad will happen 
And, of course, come back here if you have any other question.

Got one as well (yay?), also 0-FB user (order #16505080). I checked all the info
I could check on my side:
- As others already said, the name is simply not sent for that table row (so
no browser-side fix for some "tag-soup-like" error).
- The browser does report CORS errors for "manifest.json" due to a missing "access
allowed" header - although very sloppy, this is not causing the issue we see
here.
- I checked the info as reported by the API, there is nothing that is different
from properly-working order rows. Our internal software (which runs off of the
API) has no issues whatsoever.
- I can also confirm this issue does not seem to impact the order process (like
invoicing etc).
Niek.

| I do get the point. Like BrickWilbo siad:
Explain it's because the timezone you didn't respond earlier and saw
a negative feedback which isn't the way to a solution.
You would want to work on a solution by shipping the missing parts or send a
refund them.
So email first, try to work out a solution and if that doesn't work out,
file a NSS or review. How would you feel if you get a NSS or negative review,
before you even could respond or act on the matter?
Cheers and have a good one!

The point is: You might think you do right, but that might not be the case.
For another example: you, more or less, bashed the buyer from Korea (we all know
how to find the person in the feedback-system). And there was no reason to do
so. You thought you did the right thing, but now you own the man/woman from Korea

I'm always open to sort matters in a normal, positive way, so you could have

NSS and negative review. So happy ending there.
I asked him, for future references, write the store in case of a complaint and
wait one or two days for an answer, before filing a NSS.

Technically the buyer followed the steps on the Problem Center https://www.bricklink.com/retractOrder.asp
Always respond to the NPB in the comment field of the NSS.

Good morning!
I'm sorry to hear that. It looks like this buyer has lodged a few (perhaps
unwarranted) complaints in the past. If you have proof of shipping, you should
be able to get the NSS removed, but I'm not sure about the negative feedback.
Maybe try reporting the member to the problem center:
https://www.bricklink.com/retractOrder.asp
Perhaps if enough people report the member, BrickLink will take action. Or maybe
not. I'm not sure how BrickLink handles these types of situations. Good luck!

| You can do this via the API. It's technical stuff, not easy to use if you're
not familiar with these kind of systems. But definitely possible.
Register for the API here:
https://www.bricklink.com/v2/api/register_consumer.page
The 'call_back' url that you can specify, is a web url that BrickLink
will request when an order, message or feedback is received. On this page
you have your script that processes the request and does something. Like sending
an e-mail or updating something in your own system etc etc.
Details:
https://www.bricklink.com/v3/api.page?page=resource-representations-push
This is called 'push', because you have to do nothing to get it. You
can also 'pull' aka request it by calling the '/notifications'
endpoint. For this to work, you still need a call_back url, but it can be a webhook.site
url or something, that you then ignore.
I think ErwinNL on the forum has made a tool that can do this too.
Hope this helps!

Not that I know of with BrickLink. Maybe there is some third party software that
does this. Or you could write a script.

| The upper limit is based on a ton of variables.
Number of people logged in, number of database calls, network traffic, if the
moon is in the Seventh House and Jupiter aligns with Mars, etc....
The easiest thing to do is use Brickstore. You will have the entire inventory
you can work on and then just upload from there in chunks by highlighting the
rows.
If you use Bricklink, you will have to check half the boxes in the inventory,
upload and then repeat for the second half. Which is time consuming.

That doesn't look like a tile round, almost like a 3x3 dish facing the other

I'm not sure because it's looks flat, and besides, a 3x3 Dish would cover
