Those of us in the US have constant problems with some carriers - for me it’s
USPS marking things delivered before they deliver them, then misdelivering.
I never got the package, it’s not the sellers fault, but there’s still a problem.
For me, the best way to ensure no issues with delivery is to not ship USPS -
however, it’s pretty rough searching through things just to find out at the end
that I’ve either got to take another risk (I just lost another order) because
the seller only offers USPS, or I’ve got to request an invoice and jump through
hoops to spend a hundred bucks.

The only way to protect the seller and the buyer from incompatible shippers is
to allow the buyers to filter by shipping carriers offered - without it, I’m
ordering straight from Lego or Amazon, because Lego let’s me choose and Amazon
refunds when USPS refuses to do their jobs.

We’re all adults here - buyers know the best way to get a package to them, sellers
hate dealing with lost packages, and nobody wants to deal with the stress - let’s
eliminate it together.

Just 1 NPB for 0 feedback users is enough

I have this happening not only to me.
0-feedbacks users, fresh new, make orders and then not only they do not pay,
but they do not answer emails either.
I can understand the buyers' remorse, but the complete lack of politeness
is unexplicable to me.

I would suggest that if a buyer gets a NPB on their first order, probably they
are not good members of the community and their privileges should be revoked
without the need of waiting for three strikes.

I recently found the "hide items if havewant qty" filter when I use "Wanted
list" in a shop, which is great.
However, it will be a bit tedious to have to open the filters and check it each
time. I would like it either to remember my last setting, to be configurable
as default, or to always have checked as default (which makes more sense, since
items I have is not wanted).

Hi All,
I would very much like the ability to set a Preferred Sort Order for Wants Lists,
rather than the default 'Newest' always stealing the light.

I have many projects running and would prefer to work in Alphabetical Order.
Although this is in the options list I have to keep selecting it. I'd like
to "set and forget". Or is there already a way? I'd be happy to be enlightened.

Kind regards

Hi,
I don't know if this is the right place to place a suggestion like this,
so sorry in advance if that is indeed the case.

I really would like to see the ability to show more than 100 items on a page
in a wanted list. When I want to buy certain pieces from my wanted list, I only
can select pieces on 1 page of my wanted list. It's not possible to select
a couple of pieces from 1 page and from another page at the same time. The same
with updating remarks, quantity, max price etc.

update inventory

[Yes|No]

when looking at updating my inventory, I wanted to update the sale percentage
of the item based on the last time it has sold in my store. Although have not
seen the option to do this in the inventory section, only to update if the lot
was created/added to the inventory before or after a selected period (as shown
below)

Update only items which are ....... days old or .....(newer/older)

Therefore I would like to oppose that a new option is added to update the lot
if sold, or not sold within a certain period. (would look something like as
shown below)

update only items which .....(have sold/haven't sold).....within.........days

If this is somewhat possible already would be great to know how. Although if
not and an admin or site engineer is able to implement this would be great.

Here my suggestion:

Every seller gets a minifig with the corresponding brick on the torso for reaching
the next "rating level", as a BL/Lego award (yellow, blue, red, etc.....).
This would be a nice gesture from Lego for sellers, hoe keep this webside alive.

Can there be a list we can make, like a wanted list, to enter all our surplus
lego?
Then that list can be compared to a wanted list, so we know what we have already
in stock?
Also an action button that moves the `surplus `out of stock, to the wanted list.

Recently, adding a bunch of minifigures parts, I had to type the words "light

It would be a lot easier and faster if you can just type three letters instead
of three words.

Is update like this even possible? Can I help somehow in doing it?

Suggestion - All Item Search - Best Match

Viewed:

44 times

Topic:

Status:

A thought.....

When searching for a part using the All Item Search with sort set to Best Match,
the site should build the results starting with actual match before listing possible
variants.

Example:
Keyword: 3137c01
Results Generated: 3 - 1. 3137c01assy2, 2. 3137c01assy1, 3. 3137c01

When best match is selected, the order should actually be..... 1. 3137c01, 2.
3137c01assy1, 3. 3137c01assy2

Currently I would have to select "Item name (A-Z)" as the sort function to generate
this result.

Thanks for indulging me!

So maybe this is a feature, and I just haven't found it yet, but can we please
add a button to the order page that removes all ordered items from wanted list
based on quantity?

And maybe another optional feature that adds remarks to items on Wanted List
once an order is placed/shipped that says "XX ordered"

I can't tell you how many times I have ordered duplicate parts because I
forgot to take it off my wanted list, or was making multiple orders before previous
ones arrived.

Hello,
Is this possible into a wanted list, on the color list of the filter to reduce
the list to the exact list of colors of the wl’s items ? For exemple, my wanted
list has 50 items of 4 colors, the color list should display only 4 choices.
Thank you

It'd be useful to have a number you can tag for something that you've
ordered but hasn't arrived/been verified yet.
Currently, I'm making notes in the remarks slot but it'd be great to
have something you can filter a search against.

Cancelled orders should NOT be in price guide

I am on bricklink since 15 years and I can't believe this has not been fixed
yet.

When someone buys on bricklink, some things happen

1) "Item Last sold" date changes.
2) "Item price guide" is influenced.

Alas, many orders are cancelled after the purchase happened, because the user
does not pay (or someone uses this cheat to avoid bricklink fees or spoil the
price guide adjusting some items values).

To avoid people have a malicious benefit from this, I suggest the "Item last
sold" and "Price guide" being backtracked and reversed if the order gets anyhow
cancelled.

This transaction in fact would have never took place and the statistics should
NOT be in the database.

12 to 19 days is too much to resolve a NPB...

Viewed:

Topic:

Status:

[Yes|No]

Hello,

I strongly believe that 12 days (5 from the invoice + 7 from the NPB notify)
for a total unresponsive buyer is too much waiting for getting your items back
on your inventory.

I know that I can cancel the order myself, but that would feel simply wrong:
the user is a NPB, they must face the consequences, they cannot get away with
it. This way, they could do this again, to me or to another shop and bricklink
is mainly a community.

So, I would suggest that if the system sees that there are no messages FROM the
buyer to the seller, the buyer has 2 (instead of 7) days to reply before the
NPB is completed.

If, instead, there is a communication, 7 days feel right.

Hi there , would it be possible to (also) add the "Verify Items' button om
the top of the form when doing a partout ? Currently there is only a button
on the bottom and with larger sets you have to scroll all the way done to verify
the items ... having the button on the top would be of great help! And pretty
easy change.

Same (but less important for me) applies to the "Submit for Edit" button and
the "Upload Items" button on the 1st and last part of the part out process ...

Many thanks

Uploading IO-files with custom parts

Hi,

i wanted to upload an IO-file which included custom parts which i plan to get
3d-printed (maybe?).

The point is, it was not possible to verify the items at all, because of the
custom part. It would be great if this process would simply exclude the custom
parts and verify the regular parts (as expected?). That would be more user-friendly
instead of forcing me to always remove the custom parts before uploading.

Or is there another way of dealing with this issue?

Bye,
Christian

Its really annoying searching through the original trilogy star wars stuff; separate
