yeah but a bit redundant when you have to go thru 3 clicks just to get tot the

sorry make that 4 clicks before you get to the page where you give the post number
and reason.

Yes, it's a lot of clicks and copy/paste. Not easy on a mobile phone.

while a simple report post button on the post itself would make it so much easier

It would probably also lead to accidentally clicked reports.
I prefer a more visible button with two-step verification to report a message.

well when you have to click the button on the post then fill in the info and
click report that would be like a 2-step verification. my suggestion would be
to have the button on the post go right to the report function, avoiding all
those extra steps and such to get there. in other words the button on the post
would take you here https://www.bricklink.com/problemMessage.asp

Can you imagine the level of misuse such a convenient tab would allow for?

The Discussions Mods might have to give up their day jobs, considering the amount
of time it would take in filtering through the invalid to find the valid claims.

On the other hand, I could be wrong and if all the Discussions Mods were to call
for it, or at least back the suggestion, I’d say why not.

Indeed. It's a nice tool though. (Sadly my OS isn't compatible.)

It’s Python, it should work on a Mac too.

You can also talk to the author, I’m sure he’ll be open to help you make it work.

The way i use my wanted lists, I don't want to flag a part as owned until
i get it IRL. As such i use remarks to keep track of things i have ordered and
don't have yet.

Ideally, a 3rd stat e of items on a wishlist would be added - something like
pending. However as that would be a significant back end change for the developers
of the site, i created my own tampermonkey/greasemonkey script to add links to
the my wishlist search for each given part on the order page.

So underneath the part/minifig/set image is a link to search my wishlists for
the given item in the given color. That way when i make an order i can click
through for each of the items and update just the remarks for the parts across
all wishlists.

a feature like that would be really helpful and should be fairly trivial to add
to the codebase. (particularly using server side code instead of scraping the
info needed for the links from content already on the page.

I think it would be a good function for both the re-sellers and the users that
want to simply use the inventory function.

It's possible to download orders and upload the xml file to your inventory.

Please consider the implementation of other Stripe payment methods such as Ideal
and Sofort which can be used for instant check out. With these options offsite
payments like IBAN / bank transfers are less needed and it's very convenient/normal
for a lot of European customers to use these methods.

I have to admit that it's also a lot more cost effective to use these payment
methods over the ever increasing PayPal costs. Especially since we're not
transferring those costs to the people who buy Lego from us.

I hope that it won't be that much of a deal for the site developers to implement
since Bricklink already has a connection with Stripe, but I'm no expert in
API's etc...

Please add filters to the gallery search and the first one should be to filter
out all display only models.

I go to the gallery to find models to download, order and build, not just to
look at. I like to filter out the display only MOCs.

Thank you.

Yeah.. I had a call with the team recently and I urged them to do this. Luckily,
they said they were already working on it, which is great.

I do hope they'll do this very soon, it has taken a long time now. BrickOwl
has iDeal and Sofort through Stripe, and also in my webshop it was extremely
easy to implement with Stripe.

This is important for everyone, because Stripe allows you to accept foreign payment
methods without needing to know how it all works. The NL is one of the biggest
countries on Bricklink and all sellers will benefit from it if people can pay
by iDeal. IMO this is really one of the top priority issues right now. PayPal
is way too expensive and just not convenient for everybody.

It would be beneficial on Bricklink's side as well. There will be more business
so more fees, less money leaking out to PayPal, and also it will vastly increase
the percentage of payments that is done onsite - which is what Bricklink really
likes to see.

Merge my wish lists. Then I can apply my orders on it without risking to update
the same part more than intended. (Which could happen if you apply an order on
multiple wish lists containing the same parts.)

But the merge feature doesn't allow to merge wish lists having conflicts
(same combinations of piece&color).
Though, I realised it's possible to merge them by uploading a list and add
its pieces into another one. When there is identical items, it will combine them
additionning wanted quantities together, and owned quantities together.

To merge wish list "B" into wish list "A"
1) Download list "B" (as XML)
2) Use "Upload" from the "Want" menu
3) Select "Upload BrickLink XML format"
4) Copy & past the content of the file B.xml (produced at step 1)
5) Select wish list "A"
6) Click "Proceed to verify"
(review the result)
7) Click "Add to Wanted List"
(optional: rename list "A": "A & B", and delete list "B")

It would be really useful if there was an inventory system implemented for buyers
not just sellers. That way if I buy a set for parts I can simply come on here
and add those parts to my inventory and then any wish list I have containing
those parts would be updated accordingly.

I use another website to track my overall (loose and in sets) parts inventory;
BL is just not designed to do so efficiently.

That said, I also have maintained separate wanted lists here on BL for parts
that I've received, for a specific MOC or custom set: when the parts arrive,
I simply copy-and-paste from the want list to the "received" want list, and then
remove them from the want list. When all parts have arrived I now have a list
of them all for that custom build.

Hello,

I'm currently struggling with multiple wish lists, and updating the owned
parts with my orders, to keep track of how many I still need.

My lists often share the same conbinations of pieces&color, and this prevent
me from applying orders on more than one, without messing the overall count.
(This also prevent me from merging my lists.)

I think it would be great to be able to apply an order on multiple wish lists,
making sure pieces applied to a list aren't applied to the other ones.
You would have to specify which list is the first one, the second one and so
on, and the algorithm would apply the order to the first list, then the remaining
pieces to the second one, and so on.

An alternative feature would be to be able to merge lists which have conflicts
(same pieces&color combinations). Why not addition the wanted quantities, owned
quantities and concatenate the comments? It should be fine with a message explaining
how it deals with the conflicts and asking for confirmation.
