Couriers often use it to check if people is home or whether they can leave the
package to a neighbour.

Given we don't even have the tracking number, I basically have no way of
knowing whether the package was delivered to a neighbour or is still in transit.

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.

to the courier's site.

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.

  I'm a seller for over a year and in the next year

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.

The dedicated forum for Studio and PartDesigner is https://forum.bricklink.com/
(hover over the red Studio icon on every page, then click “Studio Forum”).

You can search the forum for suggestions using the search
box is in the very dark grey banner.
There’s indexes of known bugs and suggestions that you can browse first:
Studio: https://forum.bricklink.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=5579
PartDesigner: https://forum.bricklink.com/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=5589

There’s a subforum, aptly named “Studio Parts,” to ask for parts: https://forum.bricklink.com/viewforum.php?f=6
And there’s a nice “I can’t find this part” FAQ https://forum.bricklink.com/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=6368

It would be good if we could set the checkout process to require a phone number.

I must add that I am not sure how this works regarding data laws in different

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.

Same.

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.

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

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.

The issue isn't necessarily that, but rather restocked listing cannot be
notified by the seller again. For ease of listing and other reasons, we have
all our sold-out lots go into the stockroom. If I create a new listing for a
rare piece, I can notify buyers about it. But if it sells out, then I restock
the piece using the same listing, I cannot notify buyers again. The only way
would be to create an entire new listing.

Correct. One of a few quirks with the current system.

  
I do agree the notify feature could use an overhaul.

And now that Lego owns BL, if they can do it for their website, it's about

I'm sure many others would feel the same way. Thanks for reading.

I like notifications as they are now. The people actively searching for items
get the first chance at buying items and then notifications can be used later
if they haven't sold. It helps to smooth out orders over time.

Just FYI, the packing dimensions data is still comparatively new to BrickLink

The catalogList.asp shows ID, name, and year for the items. Would it be possible
to add at least an option to also show weights and dimensions? An icon array

I'd recommend Logitech MX Master 2S - not the 3, the 2S.

It scrolls normally (with steps) or freely (no steps) automatically depending
the way you're using it: it's a fantastic system.
I can scroll 20 pages in a single scroll move.

And it has plenty buttons, you can set them up, like one for sending the Home
key - so you don't even have to leave the mouse

And you can do this for a specific application, like Firefox or your Browser,
and keep the normal behaviour (or another one) for other applications.

HTH?

Scrolling hurts my hand. I use Tab, Home, End, PgUp, and PgDn extensively. Ctrl
F too...

Although not urgent, it's not a bad idea, Jeff.

It's partially implemented anyway, with your Bow n'arrow - To Top
in the lower right on the Home and Individual Stores pages. Maybe
apply it to other more crucial pages too, such as inventory and parts-out pages
that tend to be longer and need more navigating when using?

Up until now, pretty much all the freight forwarders have operated in states
that have no sales tax. This has allowed them to operate outside of the normal
rules. That is changing.

Last November, the Florida legislature enacted a new statute ( Section 212.06(5)(b)
) allowing freight forwarders, operating as a business within Florida, and with
the explicit requirement that the items being forwarded be leaving the USA, to
register with the State of Florida Department of Revenue ( using an Application
for a Florida Certificate of Forwarding Agent Address (Form DR-1FA) ). Florida
is legitimizing the business, and basically neutralizing the zero tax states
advantage.

This impacts BrickLink in two ways: first, BL's tax calculation system (or
service provider) will need to track these addresses, and second anyone with
a shipment to one of these addresses in Florida should (if properly implemented)
see a zero sales tax rate.

I am requesting that those (known and registered) addresses of freight forwarders
(regardless of state) be tagged and signaled so that seller's can choose
if they wish to ship to them or not.

Note that part of this issue (the sales tax rate being other than what is expected
for the state in question) also applies to some Native American reservations
(as I mentioned in another thread earlier today).

With Florida's aggressive move, I expect other states (and primarily those
with significant air freight connections) to implement similar statutes.

+1

  There is an unofficial group over on Discord though.

There is also a BrickLink subreddit on reddit ... r/BrickLink

1) May I ask, what are the reasons?
2) What's the discord?

Because it's LEGO now.
Would require strict moderation (and risks) for obvious reasons.

  2) What's the discord?

I don't agree.

Should further description be necessary?

I can't be the only one here who would like to see this feature return.

Yeah, king Teup, being an autocrat allows you to dictate your subjects around

  Hi

Can I request that you include a checkbox on the order sheets please.
When I receive an order I always check it off and it would be very helpful if
I can just tick a box for my records as I go along as when its delivered, it
doesnt come out in the same order as the list.
It only needs to be for the use of the recipient, but it would be a very useful
tool.
Thanks
Marc

What would be really neat is if you could display the list of items in
the same order as the seller had packed them. I have this in my own webshop (as
my invoices list all items alphabetically and buyers can't change it), so
I can number all of the bags and make it very easy for the buyer to verify the
contents that way. On Bricklink that's not possible, because everyone has
their own sorting preferences. If there would be some ability to see in what
order the seller packed (or at least saw) them, think about how much time verifying
orders this could save on Bricklink on a daily basis.

It already exists. Below the order details page click 'Show temporary check
boxes.' https://www.bricklink.com/orderSettings.asp?viewFrom=P

That is useful indeed.

Currently I have to print the order page and check with a pen...
