It happens the parts I want to buy don't meet minimum buy treshold. Sometimes
with a large gap, but usually with a small gap.
When trying to find some extra items to reach the treshold, it happens I go into
a next shipping band, making it more expensive for the second time.

My suggestion is really simple: add a "give-extra-money" (or "donation"
box to reach the min. buy treshold.
Let's say I have 3.75 USD in my cart and the min. buy is 5.00 USD. I just
fill in 1.25 USD in the "donation" box (a sort of a "special service
product" to reach min. buy treshold while still keeping the same weight
and dimensions of my order.

You could even think about linking the extra money to a charity. If the seller
would configure his shop saying he allows going under min. buy treshold when
the buyer pays the gap to charity (preferably managed by BrickLink, so the surplus
is automatically donated to charity).

As far as I can tell, there isn't a way to tell BrickLink to save my preferences
on the "Items For Sale" menu. See screenshot for context. As a result,
every time I open a product listing on BrickLink, I have to go through the same
6-step process:

1. Set "Seller Ships To" to USA
2. Check "Instant Checkout Only"
3. Click "More Options"
4. Set "Seller Location" to North America
5. Set "Seller Accepts" to US Dollar
6. Click "Search"

It would be much more convenient if BrickLink would allow me to set my own defaults
for these fields.

Would it be possible to add a search function in the collection screen to help
find pieces or sets a little easier as well as adding a few more organizational
categories to the collection page. I.e. (recently added, quantity...etc.)

Thanks to everyone for all they do.

Dear community

When you go to a shop, some of them have : "21% VAT included" in the
banner of the shop. % can be different of-course.

It would be create if i can filter my wanted list (besides country, new/user
etc) as-well on "VAT" yes/no.

I would like to have this feature, because i want to know if the seller can sell
with VAT invoice.

Please add a way to displayBuyer's VAT ID on invoices. For now at least a
quick and dirty fix - maybe in a way of having an option to enable a clickable
icon on the order's received page where buyer's VAT ID can be entered
by the seller. Plus a Basic Macro Tag to place it where you want it in the invoice.

It would be a really useful feature if the items list in orders could be filtered
or checked off on the screen, even if the checkboxes didn't save in reloadings.

For example, a current order of mine is 17 unique lots with 15 unique items.
They get sorted by color alphabetically, but that isn't how I store and pack
orders. I might find a piece in black and then at the end, go back to the same
area to find the same exact piece in white. I spend a lot of time scrolling up
and down the order list and reminding myself that I've already gotten that
piece out and packed.

Thanks,

When I search for small parts, sometimes, I agree to buy them in "full-set"
(especially: minifigure in "collectible minifigure", or minifigure
parts), so maybe adding a check box or something like this to find also set that
contains the part...

I would love to have the options in the search functionality stored. It was nice
to have a preference in the settings to display them without having to click
the link all the time but seriously, the options should be stored for user friendliness.
For the record I do work in software development.

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.

It would be helpful to know city where store located to facilitate local pickup
if allowed.

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.

I find it really annoying (as a buyer) to get confronted with stores having a
min. buy policy. I like a feature that lets me filter out stores having a min.
buy policy when looking at an item.

I think that it would be most helpful to be able to sort items for sale by shipping
price as this is a large factor when I am trying to decide who to purchase from.

Please don't let the sellers change status to shipped until the item in in
possession of the shipper. I have orders go a week with the USPS status being
label created order not yet in their possession.

So, I know this is a pointless vanity feature, but Bricklink seems to remember
who I have bought from far beyond any information on the order itself, and I
think it would be cool to have a map showing everywhere I have purchased bricks
from. Having it very specific and interactive would be neat, but even as simple
as state/country and number of orders would be interesting to see.

Can we slap some links in to forum posts (or even just the users profile or feedback
page) to make it easier to ignore people and report posts?
