| 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

| When parting out sets on My Collections, would it be possible to be able to add
stickered pieces instead of non-stickered pieces and a sticker sheet? It is really
time-consuming to do it manually.

| 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.

| Just some facts, it may have to happen.
INFORM Consumers Act that became law in December.
From another 3rd party selling ap
Burke said the new law stipulates that, "for any seller who reaches an annual
total revenue of $20,000, xxxx is required to include your name or company name
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..

OK, let's better explain :
#1/ Create a Wishlist from the set 31124 / Small Robot
-- you'll have Black / Dark Azure / Dark Bluish Gray / Light Bluish
Gray / Red / Yellow and Trans Yellow colors for 159 parts.
#2/ Open the wishlist and, into More Option, just select the Color Picker. You
have all the colors of the database...
So, according my point of view, I'd just need 7 colors into the selection
list.
Is this clearer ?
Thank you,

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 ?
Thank you,
Vincent

BL has had a negative view of this for many years.
The main argument at the time was fee avoidance.

| | Most of my orders the post office has been good about keeping up with the tracking.
One seller took over 3 weeks before the post office changed status to received.
This was after trying numerous times to communicate with the seller
|
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.

| Suggestion: Get rid of the XML copy-paste window entirely and just add it to
the list of all the other file types that are already supported for dragging
and dropping.
Other sites allow for XML files to be drag and dropped into their upload section
without needing the code to be copy-pasted. There are a lot of first-time custom
builders wanting to use the BL platform getting hung-up on this feature. As someone
who runs a webstore selling MOC instructions I can tell you this is by far the
most common question I get.

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.
