| Hello Everyone,
In June of last year, we introduced a new Wanted List upgrade. This upgrade came
with a newly-designed buying experience which focused on the necessity to compare
and plan out multiple carts at once, as well as make it easier to manage multiple
lists.
Since BrickLink's Wanted List is a core feature for most users, we currently
provide the classic version for members to use as a backup in case there are
glitches with the new version. This is intended to be a temporary solution.
The classic version of the Wanted List feature will become unavailable on
June 5, 2017. At this point, we have ensured that the new version of the
Wanted List covers all desired functionality (plus more) from the classic version.
If you have any issues with the new version, please let us know as soon as possible.
Thank you for the continued support, bug reports, and helpful feedback as we
continue to roll out important changes.
Sincerely,
Jaclyn
BrickLink Customer Support

I don't like the New wanted list,
I prefer classic must more compact and easy to read, and reliable
after placing and order, I click the wanted list symbol, using classic I find
it a lot easier to remove the items I have just bought
when searching items in the new wanted list layout I find some items do not list
the stores underneath them,

| Let's make this all agile and stuff:
As a BrickLink visitor I would like to see preview images when linking to
BrickLink so my links to BrickLink are clear and comprehensive
There are formats like Open Graph (https://ogp.me/) and Twitter Cards (https://developer.twitter.com/en/docs/twitter-for-websites/cards/overview/markup)
that enable previews in many common tools and platforms. Think of messengers
(like WhatsApp, Telegram, Signal), team chats (Slack, Discord, Microsoft Teams),
Social Media Platforms (LinkedIn, Twitter) and note taking tools (like Keep,
Notion, Dropbox Paper).
For example, I just wanted to make note of some parts for a project (not a MOC
or purely Lego). It would've been nice if I could have added BrickLink-links
to my notes and immediately get a visual overview.
It makes links much more valuable, useful and I bet it improves
click through rates as well. It's also rather easy to implement
as it's about taking data that's already there, and putting it into the
meta-section of the HTML.
Thanks already!

| I am not sure if it is possible, but I am wondering if it would be possible to
add an option to add parts with stickers when parting out a set.
Lately I have been parting out a lot of used sets to my store that have parts
with stickers.
Currently you can choose the following options: 1) Include instructions, 2)
Include box, 3) Include extra parts. I am wondering if we could add a fourth
option which is 4) Include parts with stickers and other counterparts.
This would be very helpful.
Thanks,
Evan

| Hi,
I have an idea for the buy option on the wanted list.
When there is a part made up of multiple parts (like 33172c01) it could also
search for 33183 and 33172 and add whichever option is cheaper.

Burke said the new law stipulates that, "for any seller who reaches an annual

and full physical address in purchase confirmation emails and order details."

I think this law is no problem because as soon as you place the order, you get
the seller details in your order.
In belgium if they are a seller with VAT-number, you can do a lookup and find
out the location of that company.
But then they need to have AND list the VAT-number...
a Suggestion to Bricklink:
when you check out a cart it already states under order summary:
Shipping & Handling
via "shiping method"
to Belgium, Antwerpen 2650 (= my location)
If Bricklink wants it, they could change it to add a "from"
Shipping & Handling
from country, province, postal code (= seller location)
via "shiping method"
to Belgium, Antwerpen 2650
= this would give an easy indication of the store location...
But I agree it would be so helpfull if you could search what stores are nearby.
Nearby your home, or nearby a holiday destination...
On the other hand, certain family members will be happy that this is not a feature..

Yes, now it is very clear.
What you see on screen is a dropdown list with all colors; this is part of the
user interface. This list apparently is currently not filtered on which colors
are actually present in your wanted list. You would like this list to be adaptive
to show only the colors that are used in your wanted list. Similarly to what
happens in a shop's inventory, showing only the categories and colors that
shop actually has. Makes sense.
I don't expect this to be implemented anytime soon though, as changing this
from a static list (= simply all colors in the color table) to a dynamic list
(= select all unique colors from your individual wanted list(s)) might be a burden
on the system (or the system's engineers).

It would be sooooo helpful. Is this possible to suggest this feature to the developers
as a proposal and wait for their answer ?

I agree that there are sellers out there that do not ship right away and will
mark the order as shipped before it has shipped.
The best defense to this is to read the store's feedback and see if other
buyers have mentioned "Slow to ship" or "Did not ship for over a
week". These are tell-tale signs that the seller takes their time shipping
out packages. In my experience, these sellers are also poor communicators.

Other sites allow for XML files to be drag and dropped into their upload section

If you are looking at Items for sale, then there should be a "No minimum
purchase" check box that you can tick to view items in stores that have no
minimum purchase.
I'm not sure if it's the same as finding stores with no minimum buy,
but this should help you.

Voted yes, but possibly make this a filter with a maximum amount you find acceptable

That would even be better indeed.
It's especially very annoying when you are looking to purchase only one or
two small items for a few euros (or dallors) and come in stores that have a min.
buy of 20 euro or more.
So indeed, the possibility to set a treshold value would makes sense.

If they are doing it, then add the same with lot limits too.
Both should allow the user to enter what is acceptable rather than complete exclusion,
as some stores have low minimum buys or high lot limits than don't really
affect placing reasonable orders.

Should be possible: there’s one with Auto-select on the Buy page (checkbox when

Already in the rules at https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=41
but not enforceable as the definition of 'shipped' may vary around the
world.
Also, without more in-between statuses, the work process of the seller may dictate
the time an order is flagged as shipped.

Also rural Canadian sellers (such as myself) would mark an order as shipped when
it’s safe in the rural mailbox, but it still has to be picked up by Canada Post
and scanned at a location. In my opinion, the order is shipped when it’s no longer
in the seller’s possession.

Some stores only ship once or twice a week. Read the store terms to see if they
say how often they ship orders. If you are concerned about an order, reach out
to the seller and politely ask if your order has been shipped.
As others have said, sometimes the courier does not scan the label in, and you
will not see an update until it has reached its next destination. This is particularly
true for first class mail in the USA.

I had thought of that. My problem is it didn't occur to me unil however many
years later and I can't get the info now. Trying to recompile through my

Also it's way easier if they do it for me. :-p

Presumably because if they remove the small barrier to report a post, then they
will get lots of fake reports or reports when not warranted.
As for the constant sales posts from some people, many of those sellers probably
aren't even visiting the forum. I least favourite the store and ignore all
threads by the user. It takes just a minute and you are never bothered by the

It already exists but it’s the other way around and it’s stupid.
Go to a Wanted List, click Apply Order: it will propose you a list of orders
to “apply.”
Only the orders with items that match the WL will be shown.
Choose and validate an order and the Have fields will be changed (bought quantity
added).
The main problem is that it has no memory of previous applications. You can
even apply the same order multiple times to the same list.
There might also be problems with lots in the colour N/A (means “any” in a WL).
I’m not sure how Apply Order handles that, whether all coloured ordered lots
match a wanted N/A lot, or only one (which one?) or none….

Would address the OPs issue, but what about sellers in other parts of the world

|
NPBs aren’t automatic and Sellers aren’t obligated to file the NPB right after
the 5 days
If you’re a seller offering IBAN (or other ‘slower’ offsite method), you know
how long it can take to make the payment. So you wait to be sure the buyer is
really NPB before filing.
And then, the NPB completes a bit faster than it does now.
If you file the NPB at the same time the buyer initiates the payment, the buyer
should still have time to answer to the NPB and therefore prolong the completion
delay. They can even prove to BL that they paid (even it hasn’t arrived on the
seller’s account yet). So the payment has time to arrive and you can remove
the NPB before it’s auto-completed.
Note that I think the 2-3 days suggested by OP are too short. The buyer should
still have a few days to answer and answering (which, AFAICT, rarely happens
when the buyer is really NPB) should still delay the NPB long enough for the
payment method to complete.
But shaving a day or two could sooth some sellers’ pains.
|
Yeah, I suppose you are right. I do not have an NPB problem (knock on wood) so
I do not know just how painful it gets. Rules look fine to me, but I guess I'd
be advocating for a quicker turnaround if I was in the OP's shoes.

As its ID is 0 for everybody (while each WL has its own ID, all different site-wide),
my guess is that BL started with only one WL per user, and then the possibility
for others was added.
And because of that time when there was only one WL, a part of the site depends
on its existence (upload with XML for instance). So it can’t be deleted. And
the other WLs were added on top of the site (sauce on the spaghetti…).

in two different threads over the last 5 or 6 years....
The information is there, just need to add a checkbox to the settings page, and
a column to the orders placed page....just as there already is on the orders
received page.
I understand this is on the orders details page, but for instance - I currently
have 6 orders placed that I am awaiting. To check the status of all 6 orders,
currently I have to click on all 6 orders and then search the 6 tracking numbers
via those 6 pages. Would be extremely convenient to be able to do that from one
page.
I know this isn't a number one priority or anything crazy, but from a coding

Life happens and sometimes a situation will pop up that is beyond the buyer's
control. Right now, it is set to 7 days (according to BL TOS). I think 5 days
is an appropriate time frame, with 5 days to respond. This should afford enough
time for those that use IBAN for payment to clear and a reasonable time frame
for a buyer to respond and pay for their order.
It may not be ideal for the seller (who has their inventory on hold) or the buyer
(who was in a hypothetical car crash and is in hospital) but it is a reasonable
time frame to work with for all parties.

Where can I find it is 5 days? I once read it before in this forum.
In the English and Dutch version at the Help center I read it still says 7 days.
In a recent NPB I started I couldn’t start it after 5 but still 7 days.

NPBs aren’t automatic and Sellers aren’t obligated to file the NPB right after
the 5 days
If you’re a seller offering IBAN (or other ‘slower’ offsite method), you know
how long it can take to make the payment. So you wait to be sure the buyer is
really NPB before filing.
And then, the NPB completes a bit faster than it does now.
If you file the NPB at the same time the buyer initiates the payment, the buyer
should still have time to answer to the NPB and therefore prolong the completion
delay. They can even prove to BL that they paid (even it hasn’t arrived on the
seller’s account yet). So the payment has time to arrive and you can remove
the NPB before it’s auto-completed.
Note that I think the 2-3 days suggested by OP are too short. The buyer should
still have a few days to answer and answering (which, AFAICT, rarely happens
when the buyer is really NPB) should still delay the NPB long enough for the
payment method to complete.
But shaving a day or two could sooth some sellers’ pains.

popular payment method within EU.
IBAN payments are often instant or almost instant as well, but banking systems
in some countries are still very backwards and can take a couple days to go through.
Invoice on WED, add a day for a buyer to initiate the payment on the evening
of THU. Say we are dealing with slow banks this time so the payment reaches seller's
acc on Tuesday as we also need to strike two non-workings days out. We are already
looking at 6 days - when the payment was submitted the next day after invoice.
If the buyer submits payment on the 5th day we are already looking at 10+ days
in total.

Okay, so, what ghyde was talking about is this:
https://help.aol.com/articles/use-filters-to-sort-and-organize-messages-in-aol-mail
and this:
https://help.aol.com/articles/search-for-emails-in-aol-mail
And it was in reaction to your saying “I then had to search through 354 e-mails
to find the 1 from my seller. eBay sends entirely to many e-mails!”
So, the idea is that, until you get more visible notifications or eBay decides
to send fewer e-mails, either you filter out your eBay e-mails to an eBay folder
to have fewer e-mails to look through, or you use the search tool to find BrickLink
/ your seller’s e-mails, or both

Ghyde talked about your “e-mail client,” not your e-mail provider.
An e-mail client is the application (or website) you use to read your e-mails:

the sites I use it for, like this one.
|
Actually, it isn’t difficult to have multiple e-mail providers. You can separate
the accounts or simply redirect one address to another.
| Switching my e-mail provider is not going to "fix" the item removal process
or make it better either.
|
Well, another provider or even a redirection could help bypass bans the providers
put on some servers (for instance on BrickLink’s servers).
But again, ghyde was only talking about the application/website you use to read
and organize your e-mails, not your e-mail provider.
Well, except if AOL forces you to use their own badly designed app/website and
doesn’t adhere to common protocols like IMAP or POP….

Okay so when I click the link, I see the different settings. My Order item removal
requests is grayed out.
This does not provide a link to the page that the item removal request is on.
I have no idea how to find this on Bricklink other than going through my e-mail
and clicking on the link there.
I have been using Bricklink for almost 20 years now and I still have no idea
how to approve an item removal request without using my e-mail. This tells me
that there is no easy way to get to it on Bricklink and so it needs a fix!

I did not get a message through the Bricklink messaging system. I did go into
my e-mail after the seller told me about the item removal request. I then had
to search through 354 e-mails to find the 1 from my seller. eBay sends entirely

Your email client should have the option to filter by email address or search
for email messages with specific keywords. If it doesn't have that option,
you might want a better email client with search functions. Most email clients
have had search options for many years now.

| Hi! We've seen an increase in NPBs lately which holds up inventory for 12-19
days.
Thanks for reducing the time for filing NPB to 5 days. But can we also reduce
the time it takes to complete the NPB process and cancel the order from 7-14
days to 2 or 3 days?
Being that we no longer wait for mail delivery of checks or money orders, 7-8
days total is plenty of time for Buyers to submit payment.
Thanks!

If I had not sent the inquiry, I would not have even known and possibly had a
NPB filed against me. This is unacceptable!
1) All item removal requests need to come through Bricklink and the buyer's
e-mail.
2) An alert should be shown on the buyer's Bricklink account with a red exclamation
mark or something similar next to the "My BL" just like there is a
green dot when logged in.

Already exist:
Problem Resolution:
Order item removal requests pending my approval
https://www.bricklink.com/mySettings.asp

3) A link to the "Item removal" page should be under the "purchases"
heading when I hover my mouse cursor over the "My BL" icon.
