Yellow brick looks like OLO, not a test brick but a very rare Japanese lego brick
(not sure of value because these come up so seldomly!). Red may be a normal slotted
brick, not necessarily rare (but I can't tell what the markings underneath
are). Green is definitely worth a bit

I had not heard about OLO, so a quick google found https://www.brickarchive.org/categories/2x4-bricks/production/olo/

I'd like to see (knowing this will probably take some time!) the ability
for a wanted list to store multiple copies of the same model within the one wanted
list.

I have a bunch of rolling stock that are all copies of the same model. Rather
than having multiple wanted lists or a single wanted list with multiples of the
parts (e.g. 16 of a part for 4 copies of 4 parts each), it might be nicer to
manage as a bunch of copies of the same model within the wanted list.

This would still allow me to do "buy all" which would get all missing parts of
all copies in one go, but would allow me also to know when one copy is fully
ready to build even if I haven't got parts for *all* copies (so I can start
building that one while waiting for other orders to arrive).

Best regards,
-J

Perhaps I am not understanding, but using the "Quantity" button at the top of
the page, you can multiply a wanted list by a constant factor. That way, you
can maintain a single wanted list for multiple copies of an item. I often do
this when I am building multiple copies of the same MOC.

I assume you're already aware, but you can run Buy All on multiple lists
- select it from one list, then on the results page check the others lists you
want and hit Apply to update the results.

To me, it seems that what you're suggesting would be way too niche to be
a worthwhile use of BL's limited development resource.

That works OK for me if your lists are significantly different. What I've
encountered with that mechanism trying to buy multiple copies of the one model
in the same purchase was that it didn't combine well and ended up only giving
me parts-to-purchase-count for one model, not all of them.

Now, that was a while ago when I used it and maybe it was broken at the time
I used it, but what I've done since is to buy one and then simply increase
the amounts in the cart based on the other lists and what's available and
needed... but it's a rather manual process that I'd prefer to avoid.

As there is no BL message that accompanies it and I don't get a notification

page it is that finally shows the payment due notification. It's not a page
I open often - the profile maybe? I stumbled upon it this morning only to realize
I hadn't paid my April fees.

Why can't I set it to auto charge my Paypal account or credit card upon receipt
of the invoice? Or is there a way to do this? Or maybe at least to get a message
in BL messages when an invoice is issued so I get a flag on the header?

Not currently, but you could always pre-pay for a while. Figure your annual sales
charges and pay that much at the first billing. Should be running on credit until
end of the year.

No, I do not agree.

What you describe below can be set on Paid payment status. If an order is PAID
you cannot add to it. Because we do this on Order status now, does not mean it
is the right way.

It is not that you cannot add to the order because the seller already packed
it, you cannot add to the order because the order is Paid for. (therefore the
block should be on payment status, not order status)

In a similar way, if you did not pay for the order, and payment status is pending,
but seller already Packed your order, you also cannot add to it. But now the
block is on the Order status.

In my opinion these are 2 different situations, where Bricklink now "misuses"
the order status for a payment status change.

Payment and Order status are 2 different things.

Yes but no...

If an Order is Paid it must be automatically Packed (or such closed status),
so the buyer cannot add to it, and the seller cannot remove items for example.

But if FULLY refunded, it should retrieve either Pending or such.

In short, payment and order status are linked somewhere.
It's more or less how it works right now.

I'd like the wanted list quantity that can be applied to be allowed to be
0.

I am in the process of building multiple copies of the same sets of rolling stock.
I have one wanted list of each from when I first uploaded them (to verify that
the build would work IRL) and now that I've done that I want to build 4 or
5 more of each.

I'm making each copy a separate wanted list for my own management (so once
I've got all the parts for one I can start building it while more parts arrive).
Rather than uploading from the studio file each time (which is a lengthy process
for some of these models due to their size), I thought I'd simply copy the
existing wanted list. However, they've all got the quantity set to full and
the mechanism to reset doesn't allow it to go to 0; the message says it must
be positive.

Thanks and best regards,
-J

The current New User Tutorial links to a VERY OLD uTube Video and was last updated

The home page looks completely different now and it’s about time that the site
made things current and easy to follow for new users.

The best way to drive sales to the platform is through education. Introduce people
and teach them how to use it.
Win/Win sales generate fee revenue.

Just spent hours scouring uTube for Bricklink Tutorials and it’s a mess videos
are 10min to 40min in length.
Most tutorials are too long and/or become information overload.
The site needs a series of short, easy to follow video tutorials split into categories
for BUYERS and SELLERS example:

1. How to register an account (the number of people that can’t manage this simple
set would blow your mind, so many people get stuck and give up entirely and move
on to eBay or Brickowl)
2. How to navigate the site
3. How to create a wanted list
4. How to place an order
5. How to request a quote
6. How to request an invoice

Similar tutorials for sellers.

Re: Too many status options available to sellers

The problem is not that a Seller has too many statusses to choose from. The problem
is that a Payment status is used by BL within the Order status.

Order Status should be:
Pending
Processing
Processed or Packed
Shipped
Completed (if you like)
Returned
Cancelled

Payment status:
Pending
Sent
Paid or Payment received
Bounced
(Partially) Refunded

If the order was Paid through onsite Payment that should result in Paid in the
Payment Status.
Order status can then still be Pending, as I as a seller have not started processing
the order yet.

NSS should be based upon Payment status, not Order status.

I as a seller find it extremly anoying that my order status is set to Paid, and
that I cannot set it to Pending or processing without switching all kind of order
status around.

Payment and Order status are 2 different things.

In Suggestions, mbryson1 writes:

From the perspective of a very new buyer, there are too many status options available
to sellers.

In my situation, I instantly paid for an order. After a week, the seller updated
the order status from "paid" to "processing." As a result, I am unable to submit
a NSS complaint until 1 week after the seller updated the order status, even
though there has been no material change and the only action to date is my payment.
(And yes, I did reach out to the seller, but never received a response).

There is still 1 more day before the 2nd week expires, and the seller will have
the opportunity to use another of the many status options available to delay
the NSS complaint another week. I imagine this could continue and prohibit me
from ever initiating the NSS process.

My suggestion is that BrickLink change this functionality so that once an order
is "paid" a seller cannot update the status to earlier in the timeline. The
only options available after "paid" should be "packed" and "shipped." There
should be no reason for an order to be "processing," which indicates the seller
is creating an invoice, after the order has been paid.

The assembly is the counterpart.

Let’s look how it works for minifigure parts: the results is the set the part
appears in and the whole minifigure it appears in. So, you get the same set
twice, which skews the quantities¹, but at least you know that it came in a minifigure.

E.g.:
https://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemIn.asp?P=2531&colorID=74&in=A
(¹ That part in Trans-Medium Blue is said to appear (“be known”) twice but there’s
actually only one in the set.)

There’s more and more big assemblies in Counterparts that are minifigs-but-not-minifigs
(so, not just wheel + tyre or part + sticker) and, IIUC, there’s a plan to harmonize
that (those assemblies and the minifigs). This suggestion would be a good step
toward that harmonization.

When searching for SOME color of parts, we often find things that are counterparts
of themselves, and not real other parts that can fit into the role.

look at that:

https://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemIn.asp?P=4185&colorID=5&in=A

An experienced fellow told me it's because the part be inside an assembly.

I suggest this should be more clearly stated.

I suggest:
a) a new section at the end (e.g after "appears as regular" "appears as extra"
"appears as counterpart") named "APPEARS INSIDE ASSEMBLIES"

b) enrich the text, from "2 in 1234-1(inv)"
"2 as assembly 4158c01(inv) in 1234-1(inv)"
giving us a way to see the assembly, plus go into its contents.

Are you sure about this?
Help page says "At least 7 days have passed from the order submission date (since
the order was last submitted or updated)."
And altering a status is not the same as updating an order.
So I think you should still be able to file the NSS at this moment.

Please make it easier to find local resellers by displaying the state abbreviation
in search results, and if possible add a search filter for states and provinces
of North America. For world wide, maybe add ability to sort by closest to your
post code. This would help on larger sets to reduce shipping costs and support
local businesses.

You can sort of do it...
Open your Wanted List.
Change the sort order.
Hit the Edit button (in the group of buttons next to search bar).
Then hit the Save button.

Note: this will change the sort order for all your Wanted Lists.

I think OP is talking about the order of the list of WLs, not the items

Thanks beaverbrick , you taught me a new trick.
SylvainsLS is correct, I am referring to the order of the Wanted Lists themselves
I have about 150 incomplete sets as wanted lists- with names beginning with their
set numbers. So an alphabetical order is the easiest for me when jumping around
the list.
Thank you for your replies.

hi i came to this looking up this item :

93549pb02 Minifigure, Utensil Bottle, Erlenmeyer Flask with Molded Trans-Purple Fluid Pattern
Parts: Minifigure, Utensil, Decorated

and i wanted to know if i could use it in a mock...
yet to my surprises there is no note to how tall or wide this thing is in plate
or bricks etc ....

It’s 5 plates high and almost a brick (= 3 plates) wide (so more than a stud
= 2.5 plates).

it nicely says the actual size but that means nothing to me in my brick maths....

It’s packing dimensions, it’s useful for packing (the height includes the stud…
and a bit more).

Every part doesn’t have a dimension in studs.

And, generally, the complaints are about the stud dimensions:
— the third one is in bricks (so a 1x1 brick is 1x1x1, not 1x1x1.2),
— a DUPLO 2x4 brick and a LEGO 2x4 brick have the same dimensions: 2x4x1.

it would be handy if such items would be expressed in ex : cylinder 1x1x2??

now im stuck guessing before i have it in hand...

i know its a pain to ad this after the fact but it would be handy to have this

Hint:

1 stud is approximately 5/16 inches (7.9375 mm)
1 plate is approximately 1/8 inches (3.175 mm)
1 brick is exactly 3 plates

Most parts on BrickLink are expressed in units of both inches/millimetres and
plates/studs. For example:

87926 Cylinder Half 3 x 6 x 6 with 1 x 2 Cutout
Parts: Cylinder {Dark Purple}

However, since this particular part is a minifigure utensil/accessory, it may
not have standard plate/stud dimensions. It appears to be about 2 bricks tall
and a little bit more than 1 stud in diameter. However, the only way to find
out for sure is to buy a couple, or ask someone who owns some if they can provide
more accurate dimensions.

Keep one main address set fixed on the account, but let sellers have the option

I find it ridiculous that my store gets closed if I want to have something shipped
to another country.

Amazon, eBay, etc all have the option to change a shipping address.

Please implement this!

But you are aware that the seller loses his seller protection if the payment
is made via Paypal and the shipping address does not match the Paypal address?
With Stripe it should be the same.

Don't think this is true. You lose seller protection if you ship the order
to a different address than given to you in the transaction details.

I have a paypal account and many times have stuff shipped to my work address,
it is simply possible, and the seller doesnt lose seller protection.

The problem with statements like yours is that people take it for truth and then
vote against the suggestion.

It is still a problem that buyer and seller accounts are linked and my store
closes if I want to have something delivered to a different address.

It really is fecking madness. There is no other word for it. In fact, sellers
have missed out on sales, because of this limitation. Because I simply bought
the set elsewhere.

If you don't have a clue, you should shut up.
I don't know how Amazon does it, because I don't use it. As far as I
know they don't accept paypal.
If you buy something on Ebay, you can change the shipping address. However, only
on Ebay and not on Paypal. This dates back to when paypal was part of Ebay. Apparently
this rule was kept when Paypal was sold.
I don't really care what you do, but any seller should be warned if they
ship to an address other than the one on file with Paypal.

Hello there.

I'd be shocked if this hasn't been requested. But why can't we have

I'm not interested in "anywhere" and every time change this to my local region
australia. It's never not annoying to do this every time.

It already exists in the settings:
https://www.bricklink.com/priceGuideSettings.asp?viewFrom=P

That's only for the price guide, not for when you are searching for or raking
prices on an items page.

I think the question is why isn't there an option to set the default seller
location on item pages (for example, this one https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=3001
) to be the buyer's country.

It has been asked for multiple times in the past but ignored.

they’re is no other relative topics to just give away Lego.

Expand your thinking on this: It would not generate income for the site directly
(in fact can be viewed as pulling potential sellable inventory off the market)
but I think indirectly, the site revenue would increase.

In any case, wouldn’t it be fun? Add more excitement to the community? As well

In my opinion the only one that knows if an order is 100% completed is the Buyer,
not the Seller. Only the buyer can change status to received, but both buyer
and seller can change status to completed.

Status Received:
Package has been received but the buyer has not yet verified the contents on
the package.

As a buyer I Always use this, until I verified the contents, which can take a
while, depending on how many orders I receive at once, how big the orders are
and if I can find time to check.

I like it to have this great reminder to do so:
... Orders received, change status when completed

Now I experienced several times, that the seller changed status to completed.
Which is not correct, because I still didn't check the order yet. Besides
I now lost my reminder which tells me I still have to verify this order and leave
feedback.

As a seller I understand that it's nice to know when an order is completed
and that buyer's do change order status, but it's not up to the seller
to decide if an order is received and 100% correct.

My Suggestion:

Only allow the Buyer to change status to Completed.

Diana

Late to the party but had a seller do this to me when I had a large number of
orders with various statuses. Seems status cannot be changed after a certain
period of time so by that logic a seller could set an order to completed and
if you do not realise and change it back in time it could get locked like that
despite never being received. Thankfully I was able to identify and change the
status back to shipped after reviewing a bunch of orders.

I use the statuses to mark off orders received and know which I am still waiting
for to arrive. Definitely if after a reasonable amount of time a buyer has not
updated the status but has not indicated the order was not received then the
status should automatically be set to completed and/or allow the seller to do
so. At the very least a seller should not be allowed to set it to completed after
1 day of marking it as shipped for an international order over a weekend! This
is what happened to me and it really annoyed me to the point I left neutral feedback
(was debating leaving negative as it was seemingly marked completed on a Sunday
after being shipped on the Saturday).

Just to add, it was a relatively expensive order too and has shaken my trust
in the seller and BrickLink processes in general.

I know there are global search settings, but they're only a few. I'm

shipping time and shipping costs.
So, by now, I have to activate "Ships from: Germany" every time I do a search.
Every time!

That is so annoying. My suggestion is: either make this a global search setting
or store my last settings in a cookie so that I don't have to select this

Hi everybody,

When adding parts manually from my Inventory (no part out), I used to adjust
quantity and pricing by quickly checking the Price Guide.

When I say quick, I mean I just clicked on the "Price" link and a pop up window
opened instantly, showing the Price Guide for that part. Then I closed the window
and adjusted my price. This was a 2 seconds procedure. I used that procedure
for several colors of the same part without leaving the page. Then I submitted
all these changes in one go. Nice and fast!

Today, for an unknown reason, the same link leads to another page showing the
complete Price Guide with all items for sale. This takes a loooong time to load.
For the most common parts, it can take up to 20 seconds to load!!! Yes, I might
have an old computer. But still.
Then, I have to come back to the previous Inventory page, which can take time
to load and at the top of the said page. Then I have to scroll down to find and
adjust the right color entry. That's for one color. If I have five entries
of the same part in various colors to adjust, I must repeat that process accordingly.

This is really time consuming (x10 at least), annoying, frustrating and painful.
I know there are other ways to adjust prices, but that's the way I used to
work for years and it was so easy. I can't think of any quicker way.

Please, just bring back the small pop up window... Please?

Thaks for reading my rant.

Hi Jen,

My question/issue is how to tell if a stickered part had been submitted to be
added to the set inventory as a counterpart - not as a new entry in the catalog.
Every few months I go through those parts that people have added but then neglected
to add those parts to their respective sets. Basically get them out of no mans
land.

So, in the past I added a whole bunch to one of the mobile technic cranes, must've
been about 2 dozen. All were not in the counterpart section of the set. But
someone had beat me to it but there was no way to tell that until I hit submit.
And unfortunately it doesn't flag every part that has already been submitted.
It's one at a time. So you have to delete it, resubmit. Then repeat for
all submitted parts. I think I spent over an hour on that one set - if I recall
it had identical stickers on different parts so I had to go through the instructions
page by page trying to find the correct quantity of each stickered part. It
was tedious but eventually all for naught.

The link Paul supplied will definitely help in the future.

Bill

Ah, makes sense. It's really nice of you to do that. I've also added
orphaned parts occasionally if they have been laying around for a month or two.
'Fill in missing information' is a good place to waste an hour or two
if anyone is bored.

I spend so much time on the Approval Pending Overview that I take it for granted.
I don't do much of any catalog work without checking there first. I wish
they would fix the navigation tools there. It's a mess.

Maybe I am misunderstanding you, but when you submit a part with a number already
in use, you get a ready banner saying that item is pending. It does NOT mean
that the exact item you are submitting is pending, only that the number is already
in use. All you have to do is increase the sequential number until your submission
goes through.

The post was not about adding new stickered counterparts to the catalog. It was
about stickered counterparts that are already in the catalog but have not yet
been added to inventories. Either because the change request is still pending
or because one had not yet been submitted.

Hmmm.. I guess I have always just compared the list of stickers already listed
in the set inventory with the ones that appear on a search. Annoying, yes, but
much less difficult then resubmitting all the parts just to see if they are there.

Parts: Tile, Modified, Decorated {Black}

It was added Dec 8,2021 but it is currently not listed in 75308's inventory.
So an Inventory Change request would need to be made to list it as a counterpart
(I have since submitted the request). Now this is the easiest example as that
is the ONLY stickered piece in the set. Some sets have dozens that need to be
added. I have submitted requests for such sets only to find out someone else
had beaten me to it. Incredibly frustrating as the time I used, which can be
significant, turned out to be wasted. And you don't find out until the very
last step - at submission. And it doesn't flag all the pieces - only the
first one it finds in the list that had been already submitted. So you can have
20+ parts and it turns out only 1 or 2 haven't been submitted. Good luck
finding out which ones quickly.

What I would suggest is something similar to when someone has reserved a set
to inventory. You immediately know if a set has been reserved as it states on
its catalog page under 'Item Consists Of', 'Inventory in Progress'
or something similar. So is there a way to tag or reserve those parts that have
been submitted waiting for approval to their appropriate sets so that when you
go to its catalog page you can see a message like 'Pending Approval'
under 'Item Appears In'?

I know adding stickered counterparts is way down on the list for catalog priorities
so adding such a feature could save lots of duplicate work/time from submitters.
Especially since there is an apparent backlog of stickered counterparts waiting
to be approved.

Of course, if such a thing already exists, could someone point it out to me?

You can find this through the pending approval page. https://www.bricklink.com/catalogInvChangeItem.asp?viewStatus=0&itemType=S

Put the set number in the search box at the top of tha page (without the -1 suffix
or else it won't work). This will show all pending change requests for a
specific set.

+1. Although it has never happened to me, I've always imagined adding stickered
counterparts for a set, but then finding all my hard work with naming, measuring,
photographing etc. has gone to waste and could have been spent elsewhere.

If this was implemented, it would also make the admin's jobs easier to approve
stickered counterparts, as they would know what set they come from (assuming
you have reserved it)

One of things I like to do from time to time is to assign those decorated parts
that have been added to the catalog but not added as counterparts to their appropriate
set.
For example:

6178pb037 Tile, Modified 6 x 12 with Studs on Edges with Star Wars Logo and 'R2-D2' Pattern (Sticker) - Set 75308
Parts: Tile, Modified, Decorated {Black}

Consider that this is exactly why TLG hasn't opened a "Bricks & Pieces" store

The day lego starts selling here, competing with sellers that pay fees to sell
here, is the day brickowl gets a sudden increase in seller numbers.

Buying from TLG is something that can already be done. This change would simply
improve the buying experience.

It would also manipulate the prices here, and LEGO said they would not do that
when they bought Bricklink.

doesn't make sense; it wouldn't achieve anything from the sellers'
perspective.

Hi, I love BrickLink!!!

As a user I would like to be able to sort the results of a search in my wanted
lists by
- List Name
- List completion

List completion should apeear in front of list name.

Thank you all!

Is there a way to get feedback on this sugestion?

I'd say: forget it.

Just download BrickStore, it's FREE and OPEN-SOURCE.
It can do (almost) whatever you wish, especially this.

Links? Or are you just talking about their tax laws. They don't call out
marketplace.

Saskatchewan law is the best. Residence if buying goods from outside of the province
are supposed to voluntarily pay the tax they should have been charged to the
province.

That's some gutsy law writing.

Tyson.

Here are some links:

BC - https://www2.gov.bc.ca/assets/gov/taxes/sales-taxes/publications/pst-142-marketplace-facilitators.pdf
Manitoba- https://gov.mb.ca/finance/taxation/pubs/bulletins/064.pdf
Saskatchewan- https://sets.saskatchewan.ca/rptp/wcm/connect/e1813f7a-3cb8-4e62-85a9-d12f2db16f58/IN+2020-08+Electronic+Distribution+Platforms%2C+Online+Accommodation+Platforms+and+Marketplace+Facilitators.pdf?MOD=AJPERES&CACHEID=ROOTWORKSPACE-e1813f7a-3cb8-4e62-85a9-d12f2db16f58-nbdIiEB
Quebec- https://baranovcpa.ca/quebec-tax-ecommerce/

For SK, the self declaration for paying tax is for cross border shopping. The
marketplace law changes that for online sales

The Canadian government has also enacted a federal law for online sales. This
will force the payment of GST or HST on sales. https://www.budget.gc.ca/2021/report-rapport/anx6-en.html#application-of-the-gst-hst-to-e-commerce

I believe the above provinces do not have HST, and have therefore made their
own laws to collect their PST

It’s supposed to work that way in the USA too: some states call it Used tax.
You buy in your state: you pay Sales tax to the seller. You buy from another
state: you report and pay Used tax on your own.

Thing is, no one did it and big internet sellers, 1. have their HQ in tax-friendly
states, and, 2. put their warehouses just over the state border for those states
that were a bit more clever and phrased their tax law to account for warehouses
and not HQs.

(It’s the same for import VAT: if you should have paid and didn’t and Customs
didn’t spot it, you are supposed to declare on your own.)

That's some gutsy law writing.

I’d have said naive… but English is not my first language
