  Bricklink needs to change the way the login/accounts function works. As a medium
sized store with an owner and 3 employees we need to allow the employees to log
into Bricklink and update store inventory, prices etc almost every day and as
things currently stand they have to use the owners login details (Poor security).
SQL, which is used for the database has quite a good security system built in
so even if we went native with that, it would be better than the current situation.

What is the suggestion here, that you can have "minion" sub-accounts that can
access some functions but not others?

  The same thing applies for stores with multiple locations - we have two processing
centres - one where all of our Lego inventory is stored, picked etc and one where
orders are packed and shipped from. Hence we want to set up a shipping from address
and a shipping to address. The fact that not all stores support the alternate
address system on Bricklink, as it currently stands means the only real way to
do this is using alternates on Paypal (for those that use Paypal).

Why not just use the ship to address? Does it matter if a buyer thinks you are
shipping it from location A when in reality it comes from location B? Surely
any returns eventually go to the storage location A and not the packing location
anyway.

Good morning and thank you for taking the time to comment.

The multiple logins for each store would allow us to set up our employees and
give them certain functions - not complete administration which they have now
due to logging in with the single account. Not sure I would want to call them
minions though.

The ship to and ship from addresses are not used as you outline them so perhaps
we didn't explain that properly. When we buy items they are not always destined
for the storage centre, so to save going back and forth all deliveries go to
the order packing centre - are processed there and then whatever needs to go
to the other site goes and what doesn't doesn't. Hope I have made that
clearer. We cope at the moment by instructing the stores we buy from to send
to the paypal address not the Bricklink one but from time to time they miss that
and send it to the storage area which delays things.

So in summary - multiple logins to the stores with security/control permissions
and a minimum of 2 address for each store - one for ship from and 1 for ship
to.


The above would be a nice to have for us.... but had to vote no because of the
below.
  

  As an afterthought it might not be a bad idea to allow store owners to have two
accounts - one for buying and one for selling, with the appropriate feedback
associated with each function. This might make a difference as to how people
look at a situation - In our case we have over 800 buying feedback and over 2000
selling feedbacks.

Interesting Robert - can you elaborate? We know you can see the individual feedbacks
as to buying or selling by looking at the feedback profile but if they had a
facility for this it would save time and issues with a number of us.
