Really, is there a way to set the defaults for the search? Min part
#s would help too.

I should be able to set my default search settings - actually it'd be best
if it just remembered my current settings, then I could tweak them for my next
search.

Most specifically, it should remember that I'd like results for the US (or
maybe North America). Instead I have to hit that button every time 'cause
the first results are usually Europe with ridiculous shipping.

Just used the new "BUY" feature. I was so happy with it at first... until I realized
it didn't subtract the ordered quantities from my wanted list. Just the option
of going in and doing it manually. What's the use? I has made WAY more work
than it has saved. VERY misleading.

It didn't do it for you on the old BrickLink so I am not sure how it is "WAY
more work." With the new "have" feature, which BrickLink is still fixing a few
bugs on, it's actually WAY easier to keep track of everything.

It most certainly did. After completing a purchase, there was a button to "Remove
items from Wanted List". Worked like a charm. I used it (literally) hundreds
of times.

You mean the "See items in order on wanted list" which would bring up all the
wanted list items in your order and then you could delete them if you wanted?

Because that can be switched on and off in your settings and can be accessed
on your orders page. See this post: http://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=993808

Thank you for your help, and thank you for having the vintage pieces I needed
to recreate my police boat from 1978. I thought I had dealt with you in the past.
I did have to turn that function on in my settings. It still doesn't do
what I expect it to. I got a chance last night to try it out. I think I'm
throwing an extreme situation at this new BUY function, and my expectations are
way too high. I'm trying to build 5 of the 7 Speed Racer vehicles. I have
them on 4 separate wanted lists. 300+ pieces in 86 lots, with identical lots
on several of them. This is what I had to go through to adjust everything....
Followed the link provided after purchase to the "Search Wanted List" page...
Manually adjusted several quantities (took notes on the partial quantities before
i placed the order). Broke the list into four pages. 100 items per page option
would have come in handy. Had to make sure I saved each individual page.
Then.. apply each of the four wanted lists (will only apply ONE list or ALL,
no option for multiple... check boxes would be handy here). Or at least I thought
so. It doesn't work correctly. I had one list selected, and it showed entries
for ALL of my wanted lists. Not just the ones present in this order. That caught
me by surprise. That wasn't very common (3 lots), but it could have been
very irritating on those future projects. After catching that, and thinking I
had a grasp on this, I realize that I had hit the delete button and had failed
to "un-check" the partial qty lots that I had just adjusted. Went back and fixed
that..
It just seems to me like all the information is there, and it's not being
used efficiently. The quantity’s that I ordered are there. I don't understand
why I can't be done with fewer steps. Not gonna mess with a "have" function.
Have and % of completion are useless to me and will surely irritate me even more.
I don't need Bricklink to keep track of what i have. If I need 20 of something,
and I buy 15 from a vendor, all I need is for the WANT qty to change to 5. I
think that’s pretty simple. I spent a couple of hours last night trying to figure
this out. I feel like I'm spending an extensive amount of time doing something
that BrickLink should be able to do in seconds. That means less time to shop
and spend money.
I do admit, this is the most complicated order I've ever made. I think my
high hopes and expectations for the BUY function coaxed me into it. It wouldn't
be this difficult if I had chosen to purchase ONLY full quantities, AND not had
so many identical lots scattered throughout several wanted lists. Then it would
work pretty similar to old version and I wouldn't be whining.

Now, you have the option of applying an order to a wanted list. On the new Wanted
List page, select the wanted list in question, and then click the Apply Order
button at the top of the list.

The "Apply Order" button seems to assume that I only order for one wanted list
at a time. Also, for some reason is does not seem to work always but I have not
tested that more.

At the same time the "Items in order on wanted list" has gained a bug and gives
incomplete results.

My understanding is that eCheck can happen when the buyer chooses to pay with
funds in their bank account, or the PayPal account doesn't have enough cash
in it.

So far after a couple of onsite payments both were normal, no eChecks. Had
eCheck's in the past from non-onsite payments. So unless there is some
other bug...it seems fine to me.

the issue is the one in between. Complete/Paid (Payments status/order status)
does not show in "orders not yet shipped"

Converting this reply to the "Problem" topic.

IMO it does not make sense at all to use the "Paid" status if payment and order
status is separated. Whoever programmed this PayPal (Onsite) feature either was
not familiar with the separation (and its triggering the action items) or desperately
looked for a solution to block order additions after payment is done. An elegant
solution would be to block order additions if the payment status was set by the
system to "Complete" after payment, regardless of order status. But this
may have required more programming work.

I don't want to stir the pot too much, but some people have seen that onsite
payments result in people apparently paying with eCheck. If that bug (if it _is_
a bug) is still there, having the system flip the payment status to "complete"
would not be appropriate for those eCheck payments. In those cases it should
go to "clearing" or somesuch.

Maybe the developer knew this and explicitly avoided "complete" to force the
seller to decide it is complete. Just shooting in the dark here (as most of us
do when it comes to figuring out how new features are meant to work).

Niek.

I would not set the order status from "Paid" to "Ready" as this opens the order
for additions. What happens if you set it to "Packed" instead?

Right-click on the blue BUY button on the top right and you will see the old

see it is on 105 wanted lists. There are many glitches with the new page, but
fortunately this does not mean the back end is broken.

Hi Russell,

thanks for that hint - I wasn't aware of this workaround!

Dear Admins,

as mentioned as a sidenote in this post already:
http://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=958268

The wanted list information seems to display incorrectly for many sets - and
for a while already. See this example:

4000012-1 Inside Tour (LIT) Exclusive 2012 Edition - Piper Airplane
2012
Sets: LEGO Brand: LEGO Inside Tour

http://alpha.bricklink.com/pages/clone/catalogitem.page?S=4000012-1

This item is included in my wanted list (and very likely in a few others as well),
but this is not being displayed correctly - both the missing number in "My Wanted
List (1)" and the completely missing "On xx Wanted Lists" information seem to
be a technical issue here.

When browsing my own wanted lists, I see a correlation between this effect and
database entries without any price guide information and current listing for
sale - so maybe it's just a similar glitch like the "action item missing
on start page" issue where a certain condition was needed to display these correctly.

for a few parts, I see the ""On xx Wanted Lists" entry, but not the "(1)" in
"My Wanted List (1)" - see attached example images.
(Yes, all four of these items ARE included in a wanted list of mine!)

Please have a look into this.

Thanks!
Jan

Selling

You may want to change this to a suggestion.

In Selling, TheBrickStore writes:

Hi BL community:

After careful and deliberate consideration, I honestly believe BrickLink needs
to establish a timeframe for shipping of an order from the date/time the order
was placed with a seller. The site seems to be moving in a "carte blanche" way
for sellers. Sellers who take weeks/months to ship orders should be banned quite
honestly. Those few sellers are NOT a GOOD commodity for this site. New buyers
just don't understand and experienced buyers like myself are becoming more
and more alarmed over these long long shipping practices by a few sellers. Sure
you can avoid them once you know who they are but why give any seller more than
seven business days to get an order in the mail???? I just don't get it.
What other company takes a month plus to ship an order????

So if BrickLink is not willing to establish shipping rules for sellers (seem
to have all kinds of rules in place for buyers concerning payments) then at least
allow a buyer to be able to cancel a contract if seller has NOT shipped within
seven business days. Personally I think seven business days is too long but
it is a start.

Yes I understand that some sellers here are hobbyists and do not run a store
as a business but it is strange that most if not all hobbyists send out their
orders within seven business days.

I am not suggesting at this time that we punish any seller for failing to ship
within seven business days, I am just giving the buyer the right to cancel an
order/contract if the order is not shipped within seven business days of payment.

Sellers under this new rule would not be able to state in their terms that shipping
time is longer than seven business days.

Thanks
