I believe there is a way to add your phone number to your BrickLink account,
I do not know how to do this and I do not see the option to in my account info,
but I have noticed a lot of the orders I get from newer buyers show their phone
number on the order details page. I have never used it as a seller, but as a
buyer I am sometimes asked to provide a phone number for insurance purposes.
|
This is what happens:

As for the tracking number, if you paid via PayPal, you should get a shipping
notice when the seller prints the label, if not you can message the seller and
ask for the tracking number, it may just be that there is no tracking number.

Making phone numbers required has been suggested a few times. If this is important
to you please take the time to search for and vote those older suggestions up
too. You never know when the BL dev. team might be able to fit in something other
than tax updates.

Store Settings - Message Templates
In the "Thank you, Drive Thru!" template you can use the tracking number you
enter into order details with ORDERTRACKNO variable. You can embed it into a
link if you want if your tracking site allows it. Once you set it up, it's
just entering the tracking number and sending the drive thru message.
There are tons of different courier people use so it would be a hassle for Bricklink
to get it right. One thing though ; for all those orders utilizing international
postal system there is indeed unified tracking sites like 17track and so on.
Still for Bricklink it should be left to sellers to setup. Before coming to this
Bricklink needs more customization options in the storefront.

Me neither… but the subtext was “BL does what is mandatory because BL is running

I'm a seller for over a year and in the next year I will be legally obligated

It will be more useful and easier to understand for buyers and sellers.

Next Year?
February of the current one?
Seller wants taxes added to his prices = decrease in sales?
I'm puzzled here...

Pretty sure it's already in the works. It was mentioned it was in their plans
somewhere on the forum in 2021, when the US taxes were being implemented.

Sellers already have the option of providing the tracking number. Some shipping
methods don't come with tracking, and not every seller provides the number
even when it's available to them.

Some buyers optionally include it in their address. I think anything like this
has to be optional, as I don't want sellers using it for other reasons. I
used to include it on ebay until I got a seller texting me telling me to leave
feedback.

Hey hey!
Please take time to read the Help.
Please take time to ask question - and more important to leave time to people
to answer.
Some simple improvements here may take 2 years or more.
This Site is historically complicated, has urgent priorities (like Tax/e-commerce
rules changing every year/Country) - plus a limited Staff and of course budget
(it's cheap here!!!)
Please use the time how it's the best to use it: to get more value of something.

When I import a wish list from Stud.io, it would be very useful if a part that

I would also say I absolutely need this function. Mexican Postal Service require
a phone number on all international shipments, and many of my US buyers dont
include it, even when I stated it is needed several times throughout my store.

Pandora's box.

Who's gonna check if the number is valid - even if the format is valid?
The guy may not have paid his monthly phone subscription...
In short: you need a phone number, write it in the shipping method in big/bold.
If nothing changes, you still have both the order AND the money.
Destress: send a message - this person will send you the phone number

I think it's needed, at least it should be a per store configuration if it's
mandatory on checkout or not.

the listing noted it was incomplete so I parted out on here into a new wanted
list and was trying to gauge from photos how complete the set was. I asked the
seller for the total weight to try and gauge from that, but the weight on the
set's page in the catalogue appears to be total weight including box and

Would it not be useful to somehow get a total weight for a wanted list. This

a set, but also help buyers ascertain some kind of gauge on shipping costs before

You can do this with third party software.
BrickStore is very good. You can import a Wanted List, select all parts and
it will give you a total weight.
