Hi,

With the exception of one message (October 13) without the standard subject "Regarding
BrickLink Order #_______", all of my Inbox and Outbox non-Order# messages over
the last few months have been removed.

I did not delete these messages, and as a matter of routine do not delete any
BrickLink messages, since they're eventually cleared out after six months
or so. Recent messages are important, because they provide a record of shipping
quotes and other communications with potential buyers.

Please restore them, Matthew

Hide multiple shipping methods within bands

Hi Admins,

Please consider-

We have set up multiple shipping methods to handle different shipping box sizes
and weights, all these have been "grouped" as one as they all refer to one shipping
option for the buyer that being UK domestic 1st class. The system is designed
to offer only the lowest priced option within the group to the buyer and so far
this seems to work well

However it makes the shipping terms look very messy with rows of options looking
exactly the same of which only one will be offered to the buyer at checkout (see
our shipping terms as an example). Would it be possible to "hide" all these options
and just show a summary description of the shipping method by "group" in the
displayed shipping methods?

Thanks,

Robert

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

It would be nice to see a topic choice added to the forum for Instant Checkout.

I'm not sure where best to post re: Instant Checkout. Shipping? Selling?
Help?

unfortunately... the "Seller Protection" - "Show only Instant Checkout methods
to new buyers" in the management store tab. I found out the hard way this does
not exclude the old buyers from using instant check out.

I chose to go through with the instant check out, because of this misleading
feature.

I need this feature to only handle new buyers(100 days of activity, or 5 positive
feedback from different legitimate sellers). Pulling the orders, and invoicing
before payment is still much needed with old buyers.

However, I need to know that new buyers have a Active/Verified/Completely filled
out PayPal Account. That's why they pay up front.

Everything else is great as always. Shipping feature for flat rate without Instant
works flawlessly. They now have that basic math done for them hehe

Good Job!
Thanks!

I too would like to use Instant checkout for "New" users only, for the time being.
Has this been addressed, or fixed?

Correct me if I am wrong, but I have never noticed an option for two-factor authentication
on BrickLink and I think that in this day and age most websites and services
should include it.

So...

I propose the addition of two factor authentication (via SMS code).

While your suggestion is incredibly helpful and correct, I do not believe it
negates the request. Unless you're savvy enough to know/figure out/remember
your advice, it sure would be a helpful change to the inventory categories!

I do remember how to do that sort of thing, sorting by "-sticker -stickers",
sorting by "-female" when I want a male head or torso, etc. I'd still
like to see stickers split off from decorated in all categories because it'd
save me repeating the same step over and over and over and over and over again.

Please put in a method "Search my Inventory" to find parts without size.

This way I can quickly add a size to my parts so that instant checkout will work
for those parts.

I just got home and went to start measuring pieces that I have that have no size.
I had an order today and all but 2 of the lots had measurements, so I went to
start with those. But I can only see how to enter it in stud units. The rest
of the pieces in my order are by mm. And I see that one of the pieces that DOES
have the mm measurements on my order, does NOT have a size listed on its item
page. So....do we even have access to enter the measurement that is used for
shipping estimates?

We do not have that capability yet. The only dimensions users can add are the
custom dimensions in their store. See boxes DimX, DimY, and DimZ in image below.

Would you add dimensions of DUPLO figures the same way?

It would be a lot of redundant work if each seller who has DUPLO figures listed
needs to add dimensions of every single figure in their inventory.

Hanne

I see your point with the redundancy issue. However, there are many creative
ways to set up your shipping methods that don't depend heavily on dimensions
being entered into the system. I would encourage you to spend more time on that
end of things instead of entering thousands of dimensions which will get added
to the system later anyway.

Maybe you could add dimensions for a few of the figs and then compare the sales
results with the others, which I believe are "weight bound" by default. I'd
be interested to hear what happens.
