I used to get quite frustrated with that, too, until I discovered that any one
of these scrolling menus can be navigated by typing in what you're looking
for.

So just click on the menu and type in what you need. The menu will go there.
Makes everything much quicker and easier.

Not enough space on the subject line! When adding a part to the catalog, we
have to scroll through every catagory in the catalog. I mostly add minifig pieces,
halfway down the list. And it is especially frustrating when the item number
I choose is already pending in the catalog and I have to scroll through it all
again. All of these categories have a number and I have considered just changing
my routine to adding the number on the pending items screen. I just haven't
done that because it feels improper to submit it without the category and I might
forget. If it were an option, that is the option I would use.

Could We Add PCCs and Inventory Pending Items

We can add pics of a pending item. Obviously that is a necessity. I inventory
a lot of minifigs and that means I am always adding items with new PCCs and torsos
that need to be inventoried and sometimes adding the minifig and its pieces to
the catalog. The catmins do a great job of moving things through, but obviously
there isn't always one at the desk! I have this routine for adding them
and I have another routine after they get approved and I try to do it promptly,
but things happen. This might not be something that generates a lot of interest
because most people don't do this stuff, but it would really streamline for
me if I could add the PCCs to pending pieces, inventory pending torso assemblies
with pending torsos, and even add the pending pieces to pending minifig inventories.
The same basic things would also help the people who tackle the sets (which
I don't usually do myself). Then when the pieces were approved everything
would just fall into place and it would be done.

Re: Put existing remarks onto 1st Part Out Page

Viewed:

Topic:

This feature already exists in Brick Seller. When parting out sets, the remarks
field will be automatically filled in with the remarks from other lots that you
have in inventory for the same part. If you have different remarks for the different
colors of the same part (let's say you have many in Black and you store them
in a different inventory location), the remarks field will be filled with the
remarks from lots that have the most colors stored in it.

In Suggestions, andrewyoung0811 writes:

When I go to part out a set, especially a large set, I would like to have this
specifically:

On page 1 where I input the number of sets etc. - A tick box for something along
the lines of "auto add pre-existing remarks to items".

I am aware this is shown on the confirmation page but here is why this is a problem.

Some of my parts don't have any remarks because I have never had them in
my inventory. I and many others use the remarks box to input the a reference
number to their place of storage. If I have the item in my inventory I have to
either click onto a new page or wait until I go to the inventory page.

If I had this tick box on the first page, that I am suggesting, here is what
would happen.

The remarks would be filled in automatically for parts with your "default" remark.
This would occur on the same page where you can alter pricing, quantities, add
notes, etc. This would mean I can go through the part out list, add remarks easily
to new parts, store parts in their rightful places, alter quantities, etc. all
in one page.

Hi Bricklink,

After switching to PayPal marketplace for onsite PayPal, I no longer receive

to pass on those notifications to your sellers. Can you please create an option
to receive payment notifications by email when a buyer has paid for their order?
This could be an option in my account settings that I either turn on or off.
I would think this would not be a huge undertaking and would make the transition
a lot smoother. Especially considering the fact that I did not read anything

I think they should have the step 2 remarks box show your current remark for

to change the piece from a small drawer 'S109' to a free large drawer
'L82', then on step 3 it can show you if you have made a change or the

How I am supposed to set prices and quantities once I place item in a list?

Depends.
If you put it from the item’s page, there are fields in the dialog.
If you want to change / add something when looking at or searching in your WLs,
you just click on the field you want to change and the WL goes in edit mode.
You go out of edit mode by clicking the “Save Changes” button that appeared
in the blue line at the bottom of the screen or by hitting the Enter key.
Or you can do batch changes with the leftmost checkboxes and the menu just above
the header (move, copy, apply colour, condition…).

How can I see what the lowest prices for a piece in a list?

Use the price guide.
Or you can show a few stores for each item if you click “More Options” (near
the “Search Wanted List” field) and then click “Show” in the rightmost column.
Don’t forget to change the sort option (stupidly defaults to store name) and
to click “Apply.”

I never have use the new one I always click on classic because it is much easier
to navigate and do what I need.

Remember when you learned how to use the “classic” one? Go the same way: try.
If you never try, you never learn.

This change remind me of Microsoft changing the
search features in the "File Explorer" or removing the Program Menu. It was never
a good Idea.

I don’t remember MS ever having had a good idea for its users.

Hi,

I guess default photographs of Minifig Heads (specifically their expressions
and facial features) are being replaced with graphics.

That is not the case. For a somewhat detailed expression of the current catalog
image policy, please see here:

https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=87

As stated under Preferences:

"For decorated parts (both printed and stickered) photos are preferable to renders."

I find the angled, turned-away graphics (example (a) below) notably less visually
informative than straight-on great photographs of a Minifig Head's expression
and facial features (example (b)).

Everyone is in agreement on that point. The rendered image below was contributed
in 2011 by the contributor of the original entry. If someone were to upload a
good photo of that head today, it would be replaced.

Please retain good photographs as the default image for shoppers.

If a large effort is underway to create angled, turned-away, less clear heads,
I do not understand how this loss of immediate (i.e. default) visual presentation
data constitutes a site improvement. In addition to, for example beard/brow/cheek/glasses
alignment details, a straight-on photograph also informs the shopper of a Lego
paint scheme's older or newer production art quality.

Even if the great photographs are retained as alternates to the default graphics,
BrickLink administrators are adding more process steps to get to the best information
available, which is more time-consuming for users and illogical beyond uniformity.

I can obsess by the way, and love nice shiny rows of similar thingies, but not
if such uniformity is going to make any customer process more difficult.

Lastly the type of stud is no big deal for my uses, so I do not need a partial
top-down view. I suspect this is true for most shoppers.

Apologies if my overall image transition guess is mistaken.

Thanks for listening, Matthew

Admittedly there has not been much explanation of the large scale image project
that is underway. But that will change very soon.

You can monitor new pictures coming into the catalog and see that there is no
effort going on to replace head pics with lower quality pics. While there is
an effort to replace pics of real pieces with renders, actual piece pics seem
to be preferred for minifig parts. Where you see renders on them it is because
the submitter did the easiest thing and pulled the pic from Lego.com. The catmins
accept that to get a piece in the catalog, but I often submit pics of real pieces
before long and they always replace the renders.

Why do negative and neutral feedback still show for orders that were supposedly

I was able to respond to the feedback but it didn't occur to me in time
to ask to have the feedback removed. Now that I've tried to make the request
the system won't let me because the order was supposedly purged but yet the
feedback is still there. Do negative or neutral feedback ever expire? Is there
any way for me to request removal of this feedback seeing as how the system apparently
can't access the order?

They do expire in the sense that they are no longer shown in the 1 month, 6 month
and 1 year history, but are always kept as a permanent historical record.

Plus they get lost in recent positive feedback. So if you are a decent seller
generating positive feedback, they soon become less important.

If they get rid of bad, then surely they should get rid of good too? If they
didn't, then lots of recent bad history could be hidden by a high overall
number from past very good feedback.

When I check feedback, I normally look at the time breakdown. If no bad feedback
in a year (with lots of good), then I ignore any historical bad feedback. Whereas
if there is no recent feedback but a lot of past negatives, then they are important
as the store may not have changed.

The concept of the Quote Request is one of the precious few useful innovations
under the new management. However, that it can only be found and selected as
a secondary option on the last step of the checkout process is ridiculous. That
too needs to be rectified - have it as a separate path at the start of checkout,
not the end.

As well, the afore mentioned suggestion of making an option for the seller to
only allow Quote Requests will preclude the repeated bogus orders of buyers who
won't pay. They can then accept or cancel once they know the shipping, no
excuses.

I am proud of the invoice template that I developed. It doesn't get used
that much since instant checkout started. I sometimes get a "Wait for Invoice"
order and use it. But more often it is used to auto-send an invoice to someone
who clicked instant checkout and then didn't complete their payment. I guess?
These people are getting an immediate invoice that says I have packed their
order and everything is good to go, which is still what I would like to tell
the people who wait for an invoice. But I would rather have a totally different
invoice for the auto-generated ones.

I think what you describe already exists, the SHIPMETHODID-EQ block tag, right?
https://www.bricklink.com/v2/mystore/message_templates.page#/1

Actually, I would like no invoice to be sent for IC orders.

Invoices can have 3 different functions: originally, it's tax administration,
but it can also serve as payment instruction or order confirmation. Bricklink
already has both payment instruction and order confirmation, and I don't
know about others but I am doing my tax administration separately anyway because
for me BL does not generate legally valid invoices. That leaves not a single
reason for me why BL should send an invoice. I am abusing the BL invoice function
to just make its macros generate a list of data that I feed into my invoicing
software. Unfortunately, on the IC orders I don't get to delete this list,
and it is obligatorily sent to the buyer. Not very elegant.

I would really like to have the option to turn off automatic invoices. Many webstores
where I buy invoices are sent manually after payment, or after accepting and
preparing the order. I think BL should allow the same. Just as an option I mean,
so that everyone can run things the way they want.

I know that this has probably been beat to death, but I have a suggestion. I,
as well as others I'm sure, have complained about the average prices that
are grossly inflated due to very high priced parts. On the used side of the guide
it seems it is always the same 2 stores (ex $39.95 for a $0.20 piece).

Why can't we do what they do in some sporting events - throw out the lowest
and highest and then average. I'm sure there is a way to do this.

Lainee

My personal suggestion would be to do like we do at work. Throw away the bottom
and top 10% using the average of the middle 80%.

The bottom, because there are numerous stores list 1 item at less then .01 to
get people there then the remainder of the same item is about average, or above
average. Then there are those that use their store to hold items, Ive seen .05
items for "sale" at $500.00

Both are useful.

When you want to set a price on a item (buying or selling), you look at how much
similar items were sold for in the recent past but you also look at how much
it can be bought now. And how many were sold and how many are for sale now.

Say something sold for $5 last months but you can’t find some for sale below
$6 now. What help does the past sales give you? Will you wait until the price
goes below $6 again? What if that never happens?

Or the other way around, something sold for $6 but now you can easily find it
for $5. If you’re a seller, if you price it at $6, you won’t sell yours before
all the ones at $5 are sold ; and that could take a long time. And if you’re
a buyer, if you only check the sold price, you’ll be happy buying at $6 when
you could easily have had the item for $5.

All info is useful.

No. Median and quantity average are totally different notions.
(E.g. prices 2x$1, 1x$4, 1x$5, 1x$10, lot average = (1+4+5+10)/4 = $5, qty average
= (1+1+4+5+10)/5 = $4.2, median = the 3rd price = $4.)

Still, you can find the median by looking at the “raw” data and adding all the
quantities until you get to half the total quantity.

it is stupid to take out the lowest and highest because you cant cancel these,
as they are legit buyable offers.
Furthermore would you delete a part with 4.5 cent as lowest, but dont do to one
thats exactly 5 cent?

The highest parts dont have much impact on the price, because one part at 20
dollars,
is not much recognizable in a complete offer from 20000 parts from 10-15 cent.

Actually, part (53451) originally came in shiny (harder) plastic when it was
first introduced, but was later changed to matte (softer) plastic. I am not sure
exactly when this occurred, since Bricklink does not differentiate between the
original and revised versions of the part.

53451 Barb / Claw / Horn / Tooth - Small

I think the change occurred very quickly after the Vikings theme as the only
ones I have ever found in ABS are white and from the Vikings theme.

Okay. I can see how there could be other such examples of LEGO tweaking materials
from time to time.
Anyway, I think for such little differences, a simple note should suffice (something
like “Early parts came in harder, more shiny plastic.”). There should be no
need for a doubling of all the colours with shiny/matt variants… otherwise we
could also want a new colour for each material (cloth, rubber, paint…). There
is already enough variation in parts in the “same” material and colour to make
them sometimes hard to recognize.

To admin,

Regarding parts and colour entry.

It would be good if there were an entry to say whether the colour is matt or
shiny. I have to replace a part on Harry Potter Knight's bus. The original
was shiny black but the part I received as a replacement was matt.

On this particularly set it is rather noticeable so rather than have to email
each seller to ask if they have a shiny black part it would be good if it were
stated. Not sure if Lego make the distinction but it makes a difference to the
look of the set when its a visible part.

All new bricks are shiny. It’s when they are used and get lots of micro-scratches
that they become matt.

Softer materials (plants, horns…) are matt, but I don’t think there are bricks
that come in both ABS and PP or other soft plastic.

So,
either the shiny/matt clash comes from different materials and it’s useless to
differentiate “colour X shiny” and “colour X matt” on BL because no bricks come
in both shiny and matt,
or the shiny/matt clash comes from new/mint bricks vs. older/scratched bricks
and it’s a matter of asking sellers in what condition are their bricks prior
to ordering.

Nowadays the majority of online worldwide buyers are using the mobile to complete
their purchases.
For example, in China the 83% of customers are buying from a mobile device.

Benefits:
- Buyers are more satisfied and the customer experience would be increased.
- Stores would increase the number of orders received
- Bricklink would have new customers that now are potential customers but, due
to this lack are not customers yet.

The competitor "BrickOwl" has a mobile-friendly website.
But BRICKLINK you are the largest LEGO Marketplace!
Please BRICKLINK, the whole community needs a mobile-friendly site!

They are currently in development of an app. Dont know of an ETA for it yet.

Guys please, support my suggestion

I agree it's way too wide. I have a large widescreen but even here "current

to your bookmark bar of your browser, so you can access them by clicking there
instead of having to scroll right.

I think before improving the interface, first of all a bug needs to be fixed.
This orders received display is way too wide because of all these columns. And
we cannot turn off columns such as additional charges, additional charges 2,
and insurance. I've never used insurance yet it takes up the center of the
display. These columns used to be mandatory for some mysterious reason and their
checkboxes were greyed out in "customize display", but now they have been enabled,
but modifying them doesn't do anything. You can check and uncheck them and
the orders display remains exactly the same. If this bug is fixed, we will be
able to cut down on the width of that page quite a bit, and it can bring a couple
of buttons back in sight. And it will make my list of received orders more comfortable
to look at, too.

I see now that besides this bug there's also another problem that recently
emerged. The orders pages used to have zoom levels that were independent from
the rest of the site. I remember requesting this in the past, this was done specifically
for making these pages fit. That, however, has now been undone again. All pages
have a single linked zoom level. That means you're forced to choose between
either an order list that fits but a Bricklink that's a narrow strip with
half of the screen blank, or a Bricklink that fills the screen reasonably well
but an order page that is cut off on the right side.

You can click 'post' before choosing a topic. The link is on the same

That doesn't show on my screen at all???

I can't even screen capture my desktop to show you that the POST word doesn't

How can I Print Screen and then paste it in this thread?
Thanks for the help.

No need, I believe you

Perhaps it's hidden by CSS because your device's

It's the same for me. I use google chrome and it even syncs between devices

Mine does too, but sometimes I can't find the same message I had posted before.
I would enjoy this suggestion.

When I leave positive buyer feedback it usually results in one of three basic
messages:
One general message thanking the buyer for the order,
One thanking new buyers and welcoming them to BL,
One thanking repeat customers.

It'd be great if we had some options at the feedback screen to just select
from 4-5 pre-set messages. Something like radio buttons for message A, message
B, message C, etc.

My browser already makes feedbacks selectable, I only have to type the first
letter.

Please could we have API access to seller's own values for DimX, DimY, DimZ.

Currently, none of the below methods return any seller's own dimension data:

UserInventory.GetInventory
UserInventory.CreateInventory
UserInventory.UpdateInventory

I'm trying to give someone who lives near free shipping over a certain order
total but I tried two ways and both fail. First I tried to create a shipping
method for it, but I can't seem to make it conditional on either region or
password to unlock it. Is there any other way that I forgot to think about?

Next I tried to give this guy a coupon that would correspond to the cost of shipping,
but that also didn't work.

See picture. Why is this part blank? That's weird. Why can you only make
a percentage discount conditional and not a fixed discount?

Suggestion: Allow fixed discounts to be conditional as well.

Hello Teup,

Not posting that I think your suggestion is invalid or that a coupon that would
just be "free shipping" (and conditional) isn't a nice idea.

It would seem like you could deal with this now though in 2 ways.

1. Do create a Domestic shipping method that is free over X amount. If you keep
it Domestic I assume it might not get used by others before you remove it (after
they place an order) if that is the plan. I posted some ways to do free shipping
over X here: https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1072145

2. Make an agreement and have them checkout with one of your Manual Invoicing
options, and don't charge for shipping.

Cheers,
Cosy

Thanks for your suggestions. I guess I didn't really explain the situation
properly; I would like to offer free shipping on any future orders that may come
from this buyer (and ideally, all buyers in this town). There's not a current
order yet that I want to have it for.
I think I will create a domestic shipping method with a minimum order, as you
suggested, and put in the description that it's only available for buyers
in my town and the next town. Not ideal, but I can at least try it and evaluate
after some time.

I hope this missing coupon feature will be added, as well as an option to offer
a shipping method based on password and/or on region. I'm sure I am not the
only one who for whatever reason would want to offer a shipping method on a selective
or individual basis.
