Hello,

it's the second time I get framed.
I bought in a shop which had the lesser price for an item, then in the invoice
VAT came and the price became suddenly unconvenient.

If I do not pay, then, I get a NPB, so I am forced to.

I think it should be NOT my task to know if a VAT will be added to the final
price, but bricklink's.

Plus all the price guide is now falsed because the price I read is not the price
I get.
Since bricklink knows where I live, and it puts me the price in the convenient
local currency, I believe they should as soon as possible add the option to add
or remove the VAT additional price to the final price I read in the price guide.

I am very annoyed today.
This VAT collecting change is really pushing people away from BL...

Order notice - are there any settings?

Is there anywhere to change the settings for the notice sellers receive when
an order is placed in their store?

I don't need an email for every order placed. I check Bricklink every day
for new orders to pack and ship. Having dozens of emails in my inbox just to
tell me an order was placed is not helpful - it increases the chance of missing
an actual communication.

Also, is there a way to send a different notice when an order is placed that
doesn't use instant check out? Because in that case I do want to see it immediately
to calculate shipping and send the invoice.

Add a “part out” button to my order pages

…If the seller opts into it of course. I’m sure many sellers also order for themselves,
but 9/10 orders I place are solely for relisting on my own store. It would be
nice to have a part out option like for new sets rather than have to open each
item in a tab and list them.

Just a thought.

Have a great holiday weekend everyone!

Please add a macro tag ( probably u=member_name ) that will insert a member's
ID card into the message. Member number might have to be stored internally, so
as to survive renaming.

Can we do something about "incomplete sets"?

Incomplete sets listed are becoming more and more of an annoyance, for me at
least.

There are now numerous set entries where "new incomplete sets" take up the entire
landing page - or more. A lot of these consist of so few parts I feel they should
be in a different category (76125 is a good example dum-e and extinguisher are
+/- 20 parts in a set of 524 parts only 4% of the set)

OR

Is there a way to filter them out completely? The only option I can find is "exclude
from my price guide"

Also are they included in "6 month average"? if so that is a major concern

Surely New/Incomplete is intended for missing instructions/stickers/box not 96%
of the set!

If you are trying to complete a project and you have most of the parts and you
filter a store by wanted list you have to sift through pages and pages of already-owned
parts and look for the little red numbers that indicate you still need some.
It would be neat if I could filter just by parts on a wanted list that I don't
already have.

Pop up when posting an image/link of a part

A helpful pop up appears when posting a part to the forum.
Could some info be added to the pop up? Like a link to where the color ids can
be found? and maybe an example of how to properly format it in the forum?
Thanks!

Auto-Select: add support for max. lot limit

I ran an Auto-Select search yesterday and it suggested me to create a cart with
24 lots in a store that has a maximum lot limit of 20 lots. This required me
to manually remove items from the suggested cart and find them in other stores
I already had a suggested cart with.

I was able to find a solution without having to fiddle too much this time but
it wasn't very practical.

Currently, when an Administrator or a Moderator posts to the Forum, there is
no obvious way to tell if they are posting their own opinion as a member, or
if they are posting in their official capacity.

Please enhance the Forum so that Admins and Mods will have to specify if they
are posting officially, and to make that clear to the other members. If a post
if not marked as an official post, then they are posting as to their own personal
input/opinion. The two should be kept apart from one another.
