Hi.

A long time ago, when you clicked on "view cart", the estimated weight of the
items chosen by you was available, which helped buyers to know how expensive
the shipping could be.

Will that functionality be enabled again?

Thanks.

José.

Most sellers allow to see cart weights, some don't, you probably encountered
one that doesn't, so there is nothing to change in those regards. Pick another
seller who displays it or request a quote from the seller first (if active in
the sellers store).
Never actually understood why sellers block cartweights, how can buyers judge
over a possible order then or fine tune' their cart based on displayed shippingcosts
(if any)

The few times I've heard explanations is that "we don't want buyers thinking
that will be the weight of the package when we give them a shipping amount"

Multiple sellers have found solutions to this.
Some sellers just include estimated packaging in their weight/price tables.

At least one seller has the weights, of the various types of packaging, shown
on the splash (or terms) page.

I have emptied a LOT of carts (instead of completing check out) due to no weights
in carts.
I will still buy a few small items from these sellers, if they have a much better
price or availability than the other sellers.
I did that yesterday, but the seller still lost additional business from me because
I didn't do my usual check of the store for anything else on my wanted list.

I´m seller and really like if in catalog item page can make
button what go directly to your own inventory in item you look.
example you are in catalog page and look item 3001.
Now you have to change searchbox "my inventory" and put item number in box and
then "go"
But if there make button where BL directly open your own inventory of item what
is open.
In this case 3001.

There are already buttons...

If you search 3001 and you scroll down, on the left side you have 'view my
inventory', with all colors of that part you have in your inventory. If you
click a color, you go to your listing... (including stockroom items)

And if you are looking 'in' a particular color, and you have it (active
listing only) there will be a yellow box on the left of the flags indicating
which listing is yours... click the yellow square and you will be at your listing...
