Hello,

I usually color my comments because they are pointing to another small mold difference
or vintage of the same part that Bricklink does not differenciate.

The problem is that when I am preparing the order and reviewing the order screen,
the comment is not colored, and I happen to miss the mold difference

Is there a way to make it show comment colors?

Parting out instructions

Not sure if this has ever been proposed... but what if we listed Instructions
that have more than one book with the ability to part them out...

I have a bunch of used instruction books that are missing 1 or more of the books
in the set. I hate to list them and then note that "THIS IS ONLY FOR BOOK 2".
It messes with the pricing.

It would be like parting out a minifigure...

Let me know what you all think. Thanks!

Too much fragrance on the Legos

I don't know when it started or why but I keep receiving new Lego parts that
smell strongly of perfume or scented detergent. Why? I have to air them out
for several days before I can use them. I cannot reuse any of the plastic bags
or envelopes so they are thrown out without repurposing them. If you are a seller
who keeps your Legos in areas where they can pick up offensive odors, or worse
wash them in scented soap, please list it in your terms. As soon as someone says
they wash the Legos, I look elsewhere. So give the buyers a heads up.

Hello There,

I'm sure this has been suggested.

1: But when doing a part out, why do we have to select NEW or USED each time.
Can I suggested you just need to enter the set one know. From there the part
out screen lists both on the same screen.

2: When in Catalog view. There is enough white space to include the part out
value when also searching for sets.

This would save so many unnecessary searches.

Please and thanks.

Hi!

I would love to see the increase/decrease price by % or currency feature during
the part out to inventory process.
This function is already implemented in wishlist price settings.
It would be great to have it as an additional option in the first part out to
inventory form.

Thanks a lot in advance,
Andreas.

Pay pal - QR CODE PAYMENT

Hi

I dont know if this has been looked at or if it is possible to set up on here.
But has anyone looked at pay pal qr code payment as a method as I just noticed
the fees are a hell lot better than mirco and normal pay pal fees. This is only
available to bussiness accounts as far as I am aware of.

For down under (Australia)

Normal Transactions 2.60% + fixed fee ($0.30 cents)
QR Code Transactions – 10.01 AUD and above 0.90% + fixed fee ($0.10)
QR code Transactions – 10.00 AUD and below 1.40% + fixed fee ($0.10)
Mirco payments 5.00% + micropayments fixed fee ($0.05)

As you can see from the above the fees are way cheaper than both mirco and standard
transactions just food for thought.

Current issues: The "Buy All" wizard is not always optimal, so when I am looking
to add parts or minifigures, I want to use the same vendors, especially since
it's ordered by price. I have to have several tabs open to see with what
vendors I have open baskets in my cart and then browse through their oftentimes
massive stores to see if they have other items on my wishlist.

Suggestion: In a view in which vendors are compared (e.g., if I click on a set,
part or minifigure), add 2 icons for whether the vendor is in my basket already
and how many parts/minifigures this vendor is selling that are in my basket.

Allow to add shipment options

Hi,

It would be great the have the ability to set shipment options. In Switzerland,
Swiss Post can deliver parcels on Saturday. This implies an additional fee that
a buyer should choose at checkout.

For now, the only way to do this is to define a new dedicated shipment method
with the fee incorporated to the shipment prices. The buyer would have a new
option, beside the other methods, only to receive its parcel on saturday.

In my vision, a seller will set an option with a description and additional fees.
The buyer will have a checkbox to enable the option.

Thanks in advance for your read and I wish you a happy new year.

Regards,

Jey

Hi,

It would be great to be able to set the display order of the shipping methods.
When adding a new method, it always go at the end of the list. For example, I
want the new method to be in the third position of the list, to group the methods
and to ensure the groups are set correctly.

Thanks in advance for your read and I wish you a happy new year.

A feature that would save me a lot of key strokes, and cause me to actual compare
my wanted list to more of the sale postings, would be a one stroke way to get
from the sale posting to a comparison to my wanted list.

I really dislike the way the featured page, for each store, interrupts my page
navigation. If I am looking for a specific part. I have to go through the featured
page each time I use the back arrow to get back to the page that shows the search
results.

Widen the default frame

Although the options on the Orders Received page are unlimited automatic widening
based on the options picked, the Order Details Page and the Inventory Summary
page are fixed. Please see the attached photos.

On the Order Details page, the text of the item description wraps to create many
lines and causes printing of the page to run up the number of pages needed to
print. I have tried several settings in my browser to get the frame to widen,
but have been unsuccessful when it comes to the lengthy descriptions like those
shown in my photo.

Related to this: When the "Refund" change was made to this page and caused many
users to have a problem printing this page, I too had problems. When it was
"fixed", it didn't get fixed for me. I reached out to others for a solution,
but I couldn't find something that helped.

On the Inventory Details page, the text also wraps causing Category names to
become difficult to read and lengthening the page.

I am using the Chrome browser on a Win 10 laptop with 16:9 aspect ratio.

This is driving me nuts.

Please consider making these small changes.

To other users: Please comment and support if you are also having the same problem.

Thank You
Donna

Please allow buyers (or sellers) to un-cancel quotes. If parts become unavailable,
the quote could be automatically adjusted with a note.
This way a buyer would not have to start over from scratch.

Thank you for considering this.

The matrix to convert any USPS origination/destination Zip-code pair to a zone
number is 2 MB in size. That's it, for the entire country, plus a very small
exceptions file. This should be easy to implement, and requires no API calls
to make it work.

Adding comments to a lot or part in the cart

It would be very useful as a buyer to add personal comment next to a lot or part
in the cart (it should only be visible to the buyer).

Currently it is possible to add comments only to the whole order after it has
been made but something in higher resolution can be helpful.

Personally, I add pieces to an open order and keep it there for a while until
placing the actual order. Later, when I'm about to finalize the order I don't
always remember what I needed each lot for...

over the last several years, my wife would ask me something like "what do you
want?" my response more than often would be, "let me show you my wanted list..."
which would end up getting to be too complicated to answer the question

recently i found that my nephews are really into LEGO as i was/am

what i would like to give them is a bricklink gift card that would be valid over
all the stores, not just the individual store offering it. the reason for this
over a LEGO gift card is that there would be a part, minifig, set ect that is
discontinued but still available in bricklink (do you know how many unitron,
clasic castle of blacktron 1 minifigs i gave away? thats not counting the projectile
parts)

it could work just like amazon giftcards being assigned to an email and login
to recieve

i would like to give the gift that keeps on building

hi guys

just a suggestion as a newer member I have been trying to get seller verified.
And has done all the steps well over a month ago. When I went looking for how
to get help it did not jump out where to find it on the site. there a message
box on the verified page that appeared no one look at as there been an un answered
question there for 3 weeks. Even thrown up a couple posts in the forum in the
help section.

On reading the help section and others posting re the same issue and being told
to post to the help area. I thought 1st this is insane that we been pointed
to a public forum that no one from the site is responding to from the site.

On further looking around the site I came across the HELP DESK hidden in the
help centre which took a few clicks to get too. From what I can see there is
NO clear and easy way to get to the HELP DESK to rise an issue ticket etc.

So my suggestion is to ADD a short cut to the TICKET HELP DESK up at the top
of the page with other short cuts with the icons...

Selling Assorted Bionicle Sets

About 15 years ago, I was really into Bionicle sets, especially 2005-2009 era.
In my dumb, childhood wisdom, I took all of my bionicle sets, mixed them into
a single bin, and determined to build them all again from this huge bin. This
was an impossible goal, so now I have a large bin of 20some scattered bionicle
sets. However, I kept the containers so I know which sets are in this mix and
I know roughly all of the sets are contained within this box. What's the
feasibility of selling this and how much do you think it could go for?

There are specific non-currency and non-quantity user representations that exist
on a lot.

MY_WEIGHT is supported by both the XML upload/download files, and by the API
User Inventory / Resource Representation.

Unfortunately, PACKAGING_TYPE (Weight bound, Volume bound, Manual or null), DIM_X,
DIM_Y and DIM_Z are not currently supported in either the XML or API mechanisms.

You can only enter them via the web screen, and there is no way to back them
up.

Please support these fields, on both XML (which I need) and API (which others
may need).

I'm putting this under suggestions, but it comes close to being a Technical
Issue. Admins feel free to move this to T/I if you feel like it is one.

It would be massively awesome if BrickLink could implement a shipping test tool
for sellers, that would function as follows ...

Seller would build a list of test cases using pseudo destinations (minimum country
and postal code, possibly address as well)

Each destination would have a list of items the seller has on offer (or alternately
N-random items of a given type, like 6 parts and/or 3 sets).

The reflector would run on demand, in batch (like Notifications are run), then
email a report back to the seller telling them if shipping could be calculated
for each test case, and which methods were applicable and costs calculated.

thank you, Nita Rae

Hello,

I really believe that an useful function would be having lots locations.

Explanation:
I use the "remarks" field to remind me where the items are, but I have always
felt that a little forced. The remarks should tell me other things, not where
the item is actually stored.

If we had a "location" field we would be able to split "remarks" and "Location"
so that one could do a research for all the items one has in location XX to verify
their inventory, and most important, when one uploads a new batch of that one
lot, they could merge also the location but not the remarks if they want to.

I believe that this would be really useful.
