| I posted this a few hours ago here: https://www.bricklink.com/messageThread.asp?ID=217172&nID=1028587
but i thought it might be better to do so here.
Since i have some experience in infosec, i thought i vent an idea here.
I just signed up a few days ago, (great to be here so far!) and noticed the same,
i have had 2 haunted houses mails of under 150€, in the last 3 days.
Yesterday Susan, day before Anthony.
Anthony actually send me a very small, low res. pic, without ANY exif data...
If you think i am crazy to check these things, well wake up and welcome to the
interweb: The biggest darkest alley, filled with criminals, where you would normally
never come! (and yes my friend call me internet-paranoid).
Before i could answer it was sold. Never got that answer.
It is a sad thing scammers...
so my solution, kind off.
Maybe give new sign-ups a week or so a status of "aspiring member" for an x period
(week/2 weeks).
In this period a new member can only buy NOT sell. (maybe even have to buy before
you can sell? although that's a biggie)
It is no fool proof solution, but a big hurdle for scammers looking for a quick
buck.
This will stop most if not all quick scammers, i take it IP addresses are already
logged and banned? Maybe analyse those, is there a trend?
Although i think this will help a lot, even asking for copy of ID, what i do
NOT propose is no really watertight solution.
(who is going to check all those, and securely safe the data of those offsite?,
complience etc)
my 2 cents...

| Just an idea
is it possible to create a shopping list?
what I mean is that you select the parts / sets you want and then bricklink searches
all stores to see if anyone has everything you need in one store. The results
can then be filtered by cost or other headings such as country for easy reference.
I think this would be really useful.

| | Hello Admin, just wondering if you people might be working on a way to upload
the same part but different colours at the same time rather than going back every
time and repeating the same step over and over again. I tried BrickStock and
since I use Canadian Pricing it won't work for me.
What I would like to see is on the upload part page is : qty of part and colour
and select pricing then right under that another line so I can add then my next
colour of brick and so on and so on and hit submit once, similar to the parting
out a set page.
Thanks

You can use Brickstock, you can just multiply the prices by the correct factor
to convert from US to CAN currency.

Or you can just go to Extras - Configure - Use the local currency and put there
your factor for conversion from USD.

| | This is a "roadmap" suggestion, as it would require a pretty big change in the
architecture of the site, but it would be very useful for sellers to have access
to tracking information for their shops.
Full analytics would tell sellers things like:
- How visitors got to their shop. For example, some people post sales in the
forums. Analytics would let you see how many people followed the forum link and
whether they bought something. That would give you an idea of how effective that
marketing activity is. Or if you link to your shop from other forums or social
media sites, you could follow that traffic.
- The search terms visitors used to find your shop.
- How people look around your shop. Do they search? Use a wanted list? Browse
by color?
- When your traffic is heaviest and lightest
- What country your visitors are from. Maybe you need to add a destination to
your shipping list or translate your shop terms into another language?
This is perhaps a long-term feature, but some of the things BL is working on
now could be designed with analytics in mind: payment processing, for example.
Analytics can give you lots of "gee-whiz" information, but to be really useful
it has to answer one big question about each visitor: Did they buy anything?
As BL works on its new automated checkout and payment system, I would hope they
keep an eye on the future and make it possible one day for sellers to track what
marketing efforts are working.
|
Old suggestion thread, but still very relevant for sellers and quite probably
beneficial to buyers as sellers will be able to make necessary changes to attract
more buyers and meet their needs.
Voted yes on this, as many other websites offer analytics (YouTube, Flickr, WordPress
just to name a few).
I would particularly like to see stats on:
-Buyer source (Item name search, Wanted List search, Catalog Price Guide, External
web sites (with names/some stats) useful for those that advertise elsewhere
-Items/categories browsed stats
-Shopping carts filled/emptied stats
-Buyer browsing duration stats
-What item/reason brought buyer to store
I am sure there are plenty of other stats that others would find useful.
I don't know a thing on how easy/difficult it would be to implement any of
these stat tracking and reporting with the current or future BL infrastructure,
but at least I listed them for the developers to think what would need to be
done to allow for implementation.

This request encompasses the entirety of the stickered counterparts for this set. On the taillights: one could be forgiven for expecting there to be left/right versions, but a quick peek at the sticker sheet will show otherwise.

When looking at sticker sheet and inventory for 1x8 bricks, there are only 8 stickers for 1x3 bricks. The sticker sheet only has 2 of the stickers that I am requesting to delete. Only 2 need to be deleted.
