As a newbie who has jumped straight in without reading any instructions, am not
sure if this is already possible.

Link the orders generated from a wish list to that wish list. Then when I mark
an order as complete give the user the option to update the inventory in the
wish list. This then updates the "HAVE" values as per the quantities
from the order for a particular item.

Also, from the order details page, add a hyperlink to set the order to "Complete"

If I go to my wish list and "ADD ORDER" allow multi select of many orders
to update my wish list "HAVE" values.

If I have more items than I need from a particular order put the extra items
and quantities into another Wish List or into my Parts as stock as, I have them
but not using in any build.

parts exclusive to sets

I would like to suggest a sub section for a sets inventory page, one that shows
the exclusive parts to the set, as I think this will help many people when looking
to rebuild models and is also a way of seeing what parts are exclusive to what
sets. I desperately need this feature to help with rebuilding sets, and specifically
to make sets out of other parts that are already in my collection. I'm aware
that a way to do this already exists (go to a specific part and look up what
sets it comes in), but I feel like this will be an easier and quicker solution
and will help people a lot to discover what parts are needed. This could also
be expanded to exclusive minifigures, and who doesn't love exclusive parts?
thanks,

Can we unban Russians?

Not trying to get into a politicial argument, this is purely economical but all
the ban has done is make Russians buyers get their orders sent to sorting offices
in Kazakhstan, Belarus and other countries neighbouring Russia, to then be sent
to their addresses in Russia.

These sorting offices require tracking numbers and international tracking is
very expensive. I personally have had to end sales to both Belarus and Kazakhstan
because of this as 2/2 orders have got lost due to me sending them without tracking
(as I wasnt aware at the time) and has cost me over £100 as I've had to give
out full refunds.

Want 'Connection Types' Associated with Parts

Viewed:

106 times

Topic:

Status:

Open

Vote:

[Yes|No]

As a builder, wanting to find available parts, or as someone wanting to research
a part in my hand, it would be useful if each piece, in the database, was associated
with the connections on that piece. The obvious connections include studs and
stud-receivers, technic pins and technic pin holes, small pin holes and small
pins, bars and bar receivers which include clips, hands, and open studs, and
several others. Additionally, this implies the ability to filter a search by
selecting the possible connection types.
I imagine this filter as providing a checkbox for each connection type and
an optional number field. For example, design ID 20482, "Tile, Round 1 x 1 with
Bar and Pin Holder", includes one stud-receiver, one bar, and one small pin hole.

One problem is that there's no standard for describing "small pin holder".
If you search on "pin holder", your search is overwhelmed by technic pieces
while not revealing many pieces which include a "small pin hole". Many parts
with such a connection, call it a "pin hole" or "pin holder" rather than a "small
pin" something. Other descriptions use the word "hat". Most such parts don't
provide any information at all on this feature. Nor do the parts which include
the "small pin".
Another problem is that many parts don't follow what most of us consider
the standard for dimensions. Is it a 4x1 or a 1x4? This becomes a bigger problem
if the part isn't exactly one brick tall. However, I can count studs and
enter that number into a filter.
The first goal is to standardize the vocabulary. For example, do you say "stud-receiver",
"anti-stud", or "antistud"? The word "pin" should be stricken from the database
and replaced with either "techpin", "smallpin", or "handpin". (are there other
pins?)
Finally, imagine having this feature in Studio. wow.

Modifying my Inventory

Dear BrickLink,

What a great website! So much LEGO all in one place. I've begun to add my
current sets to my inventory. But, I've noticed that if I make a mistake,
and accidentally add sets or parts as "New" when they are actually "Used" there
is no way for me to modify that inventory. I have to delete the old inventory
item(s) and add new ones.

But, since your site reminds me every time I part out a set, there is no way
to bulk delete items from a particular set. It would be tremendously helpful
if we could modify our inventory, piece by piece or set by set, so that we could
change the status of a set/piece as "New" or "Used."

I hope this is something you can deliver for us.

Again, great site! It is my go-to spot for anything LEGO!

Enjoy building! Thanks!

Ho ho ho,

I noticed Advent Sub-Sets are always on far fewer Wanted Lists, listed less,
and sold in smaller quantities than their minifigure counterparts.

Sealed polybags or not, the prices are very comparable. I understand if buyers
are avoiding additional parts or accessories, but that doesn't explain the
equal vacancy for non-exclusive minifigures.

Are casual buyers missing out?

Suggestion: Update the festive figures with new relationship links.

Add 1 More Confirm Step @Manual Invoice Order

Viewed:

78 times

Topic:

Status:

Open

Vote:

[Yes|No]

Suggestion: Please Add one more Confirmation Step before placing orders that
have Manual Invoicing.

Reason: It is too easy to place an actual order that does not include
a payment step with full Auto-Checkout.

Explanation: Buyers have gotten used to Auto-Checkout procedures that
offer many stages/clicks in order to fully commit to an order and make payment.
This allows buyers more opportunities to be sure they really want to place that
order.

With non-Instant Check-out orders, once presented with the Shopping Cart, there
is now only ONE Click required to place that order. Buyers who expect that next
click to give them more information such as shipping charges or a Grand Total
end up placing an order.

The Green Button to place the order does NOT even say PLACE ORDER -- it
only says AGREE AND CONTINUE

Side Note: I just fell into this trap myself. After having previously
placed some Instant-Checkout orders, I found myself in a manual invoice shop.
Even tho I was aware of that fact, I clicked the Green button and placed the
order. It surprised me very much and left me rather unhappy.

As a seller, I have been processing too many order cancellations from buyers
who claim they did NOT wish to place the order, but did so by mistake. Now I
know why.

Conclusion: It is too easy to place a manual invoice order now. A lot
of order cancellations may be due to buyers placing orders unintentionally (by
accident or mistake). By adding ONE MORE Confirmation Step, it can potentially
reduce the occurrence of unintentional orders, unhappy buyers, and unhappy sellers
who must process order cancellations or deal with those unhappy buyers.

Also, the final step should explicitly state PLACE ORDER, not simply AGREE
AND CONTINUE.

In my opinion, this is a very simple fix that will solve a lot of unhappiness
and cancelled orders.

Loving the new My Collection feature, I'd like to suggest some new features
for it that would really improve its usefulness:

- Add the ability to sort by quantity
- Allow parts in colors not in the BrickLink catalog to be added. It takes a
while for new colors that come in new sets to be available in the BrickLink catalog,
and there are a variety of parts that I have in my collection that are not in
the catalog but were produced by Lego in other ways. Would be really useful to
be able to add these to my collection just like I can add these to my wanted
lists
- As others have said, an "Add Order Items to My Collection" button is a must
have
- When you download a wanted list then try to upload it to "My Collection", you
get an error saying it's incorrectly formatted. This is due the
encoding="UTF-8"? line that is added to the top of the wanted list xml for some
reason. This should be recognized when uploading to My Collection, because downloading
and uploading the same format from the same site should just work

Unknown Colors

[Yes|No]

Can we get clarification on any "unknown" colors for parts? Any part listed
in an "unknown" color should either be changed to confirm it is a known color
or that color should be removed for that particular part. If a part was released
in a particular color, that color should be added to the known colors for that
part, even if there are no parts listed in that color so sellers can list the
part in those colors if they should happen to have them without doubting or second
guessing if they have correctly identified the color for that part. One specific
example is Bionicle parts in Flat Silver and Pearl Light Gray. My understanding
is Flat Silver may have only been used during the final year Bionicle was released
but also that some sets may have used Flat Silver in some countries while using
Pearl Light Gray in other countries for the same part in the same set. I don't
know wether this is actually true or not but sellers could definitely use some
clarification as whether the actual dye was different or not, there are definitely
color variations among these parts. Thank you.

I'm buying a lot of parts to build a specific thing.

I also have a lot of want lists and before I check out I always see if the current
seller happens to have any of those parts/figs.

Often they will have a fig I want, but they are asking 2x the going rate for
that part. For instance, recently a seller I was buying from had a Harry Potter
fig for $16 that usually sells for $8 if you check the global sales stats. During
the checkout flow, I'd like be able to offer $8 for this fig in addition
to the rest of my order, and then the seller can decide if they want to add it
to the order or not.

I think a lot of times the seller just doesn't regularly update prices for
the figs they are selling and would often toss in extras at market rate for an
order that they are already shipping, since it is easy.

sometimes parts at not competitively priced and there are huge ranges on some
parts/figs (I've seen $80 and $50 for the same fig).

It would save me a lot of time if there was a way to quickly find *reasonably
priced* items on my wanted list at a given store. I.e. "Add to cart all items
on this list at this store where the price is within 10% of what this part usually
goes for"

There are a ton of parts that I have basically infinite demand for at the market
price, or slightly below. Every time I shop at a store I want to add any copies
that the current seller has where they aren't gouging me.

Hello, I'm new and I apologize in advance if I'm wrong to post this request;

I'm starting my collection of minifigures (all after 2014 except 3 between
2000 and 2011), which will be "locked up" and protected inside a display case
not exposed to the sun and inside a bookcase therefore without sudden changes
in temperature (and will not be touched again).
I'm asking for help figuring out (being new to Minifigures collecting) if
there is a way to dam or prevent cracks on minifigures, I've read that
some individual pieces (like 93095 or 99780) may take the stress off the minifigure,
have you ever tried? how do you make sure they don't crack? and then they
all die or not?
Thanks in advance to everyone

Fix contradictory rules - assembled minifigs

Viewed:

279 times

Topic:

Status:

Open

Vote:

[Yes|No]

Currently rules are as follows:
New Parts - Parts are brand new, taken directly from new sets or were purchased
"as new" in another form such as accessory packs or Pick A Brick and have been
handled only for sorting. These parts have never been used in any manner. If
a minifigure or part assembly was originally sold assembled by LEGO, its component
parts after disassembly can also be listed as new.

Plus:
New Minifigures - Minifigures are brand new, taken directly from new sets
or were purchased "as new" in another form such as accessory packs or Pick A
Brick and have been handled only for sorting. Minifigures may be listed as new
either assembled or unassembled.

Scenario - I buy a NEW minifig from a seller with an intention to part it out
and sell as parts. But the seller is inconsiderate enough to assemble the new
minifigs for sale.

Rules only allow the sale of the previously assembled minifig's parts as
'new' only if the said assembled minifig was originally sold assembled
by LEGO.

@BL Team - please explain how this is not contradictory and/or fix this
once and for all. Disallowing the assembly of NEW minifigs for sale would be
the sensible thing to do?

OR! And this would be the worst way to solve this and thus I assume the most
likely one - add an additional setting for 'assembled' or 'unassembled'
for minifig listings and specifically disallow the sale of minifig parts as new
if they were previously assembled by someone else other than LEGO.

This must have been raised a million times before. Why is there such a strong
unwillingness to address this?

---------------------------------------

If the rule change is made, there should also be an exemption for listings with
IDs that precede the date of the rule change. Plus perhaps a greyed-out small
text added to ALL 'mew' minifig listings telling the buyer to familiarize
themselves with the rules.

Being a bit acid on this topic is, I am afraid, becoming mandatory. You know
why.

Suggestion: Give member-admins additional privileges, regarding other members
buying and selling.

I'm reading the post by BrickinNick (1373076) and it occurs to me, considering
that the actual BL team/help desk is usually "useless", may it be a good idea
to give reinstatement privileges to "high ranking" member admins/moderators/whatevers?
I would not say that any reinstatement would be permanent, but perhaps the admin
could do temporary reinstatements, for 1 week periods (and/or number of orders
allowed, etc). They could also communicate directly to a help desk email their
reasoning, etc, so that the actual BL team would be informed. Or better, reinstatement
would be on a new as-of-yet unbuilt page, that has an extensive comments field
for the member to state all reasons and actions, etc, to be included in an auto-report
at the time of reinstatement.

Same could be said for selling. Maybe there's an errant NSS, selling got
revoked, and seller has contacted help desk (3 weeks ago...). The member-admin
could review and reinstate, temporarily.

I'd also suggest that BL auto-email any suspension information to the member-admins
that have this privilege. They'll get the info automatically, and so they
can review all official info, plus member direct, to make their call.

There are obviously serious situations where this wouldn't be the best. There
are many simple and/or dumb situations that could be resolved in 5 minutes, if
only the help desk, well, helped in a timely manner.

Feature suggestion: Make it possible to list a part in your wanted list as "any
variant accepted." This would allow store listings of all variants of a part
to be considered by the "Buy All" function of the wanted list.

This would be extremely helpful if, for example, the cheapest listing of part
2436 was more expensive than the cheapest listing of part 2436b, and you didn't
need either specific version for your project. In this case, the "Buy All" function
would automatically select 2436b.

It may also be useful if you were able to mark certain variants as accepted but
not all; for example, if you wanted any variant of part 4085 except 4085c, the
"Buy All" function would search listings of all 4085 variants except 4085c.

Hi all,

it strikes me that some items are in the catalogue and sellers do not use a tier
pricing, but a new listing instead.

For example:

Catalog: Parts: Minifigure, Headgear: 88287: Price Guide

https://www.bricklink.com/catalogPG.asp?P=88287&colorID=1

but all listings except 1 are from the same seller!!

I understand these could be different batches, but it would be nice if a seller
would use a tier price instead.

Or am I just OCD on this one?

Have fun

I want to be able to specify, and then have a buyer see a lot minimum purchase
quantity. e.g. (10+) Of course the minimum qty should be enforced when attempting
to add to the cart.

I'm ok with combining the minimum with bulk, or for simplicity make it either
/ or with bulk as Starbug suggested.

If not shown in the price guide to start...I'm ok with that. But I'd
much prefer the price guide also show the min. amount followed by a + . For
example (200+) say for a tiny $0.01 part where I only want to use the counting
scale.

Using the mean price to display for the "Avg Price" field is misleading. Averages
are prone to be skewed by large values, whereas Median is not.

Look at set 6426244-1. The New Avg Price shown is (currently) $80.91, which seemed
high. When I looked further, I saw there is one listing at $900. When I calculated
the median of this list of values, I determined the median value to be around
$51.15.

Looking at the full dataset, the median value is much more representative of
the "average" value. So my suggestion can be summed up as:

Use the median value for Avg Price

What BL calls Light Purple is described as a bright color by LEGO. This term
can be very confusing to sellers and buyers alike. I’ve received many Medium
Lavender bricks after ordering this color. Changing this would also establish
some consistency with its transparent counterpart. Both colors are relatively
rare but the current name is too general.

Maybe Reddish Purple? Medium Purple? It is the only bright LEGO color that BL
calls ‘Light’.

Hi,

I've been using Bricklink extensively. Have a long list of items all with
max prices set for them. What would really be useful for me is to be able to
rank items
for a given seller based on the relative difference in prices. So first would
come items that are way cheaper than my max. price, and then increasingly close
together, and items that are progressivey more expensive than my max. price.

Another feature that would be really useful is when using the Buy option and
it considers which shops have what on offer. I can sort that list on Lots and
Item Count, each have their uses. The problem is that Item Count does not refer
to the number of items
I'd like to get from that shop, but the number of items that shop has in
Lots I am interested in. Although one could change that, what would also help
me is to be able
to sort based on the value of whatever that order would be: now I need to clikc
on Select to get that Total. Sorting on that Total could be a great help to quickly
find buyers worthy of a closer investigation.

Thanks,
Jur

The catalog search has a list of keywords which are excluded from searching.
Yet some of those keywords are being used in catalog titles, and are essential
when trying to locate a catalog entry.

As an example

4623b Plate, Modified 1 x 2 with Bar Arm Up (Horizontal Arm 5mm)
Parts: Plate, Modified

‘Up’ is used in the title, but that same keyword is being excluded from searches.

The suggestion is to synchronize the exclusion with the inclusion of certain

We already can create a Want list. Actually I miss creating Have lists. For collectors

this function, in Bricklink, collectors are more active in 1 place.

One other issue. We can export a Want list. The export shows a Lego number to
show what Lego set it is about. Can you adjust the export, so more information

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.

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

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!

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

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.

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.

I was just listing a new set and since I built the counterparts I'm listing

check the qty and was thinking it would be a good idea to possibly add an option
like a checkbox that gives the option to add counterparts (possibly with a list
of parts needed for it) then when clicked will auto remove those parts from the
parts list to make it easier to list them. Also, it is possibly a checkout that
you could click to show the counterparts such as stickered items or assemblies
in the inventory list and then remove the parts from the list that are used in
the counterparts or have a compare function at the bottom similar to what is
done with alternate parts. I know this sounds similar to talk previously about
adding 2 inventories for each set (1 for new from the box and 1 for what it's
like after being built) but I think it is a separate enough idea to be separate.

Improve total sales calculations below 10.000

Hi all,

last year July 1st, the new european guidelines were implemented for selling
online.

Our shop aims to stay below the 10.000 euro treshold, as we run our shop as a
hobby, not a business! We sell at Bricklink to pay for our hobby in a way. Like
a lot of us do.

The only tool that is provided by Bricklink is "download my orders"

The 10.000 euro is based on sales from new parts or sets, outside your own country,
but within Europe.

As you can see on the picture, I can select all sales from outside The Netherlands......
but not "only within Europe", so when I run the total, all orders from outside
Europe are still added to the calculation.

Also, when used parts are sold within the order, they should not be calculated
as well! How to exclude those from the total??

Please add the option in "Exclude" to select "Orders outside the European Union"
Please add the option in "Exclude" to select "used parts or sets"

Right now, all order details will be purged from the Bricklink system after 6
months, so it's impossible to get detailed info about "new/used" or "outside
the EU" afterwards.

Hopefully Bricklink will provide us with the right tools to be able to stay under
the 10.000 euro treshold.

Also, what is considered Europe? The countries that are within the EEA, or all
countries that are withing Europe?

For example Russia is within Europe according to the list on:

https://www.countries-ofthe-world.com/countries-of-europe.html

Please help

kind regards

Add Seller Enabled “Delivered” On Orders

Hello!
Can we make it so that the seller can change status of an order to “Delivered”
if it has a tracking number? I get updates with usos with my orders and I know
when they are delivered, and several of my customers usually don’t even put “received.”

So it’d make it a lot easier on me and my OCD to be able to put “delivered” when
I know that it is

thanks! 😂

The Lego ninjago core villains don’t have a really creative tribe name compared
to the past waves. Yes I know core is supposed to be a sort of “General” series
but I wanna add some life to them. Can you suggest some potential tribe names
for me? I came up with the iron serpents but the more ideas the merrier.

Some sellers sell .pdf files of the instructions they make. They have a qty.
of 50 or 100 or so but it can happen that they can sell all of them before noticing
so maybe adding an option of having an unlimited qty. would be right for them?

Inventory for building

I have been looking for an app or site to inventory my Lego collection and use
that info to tell me what sets I can build or what pieces are needed for partially
built sets. Does Bricklink do this? I know about the app on apple which you
can take a picture of a collection and it will tell you what sets you can build.
I am looking for something different since my collection is very large & sorted.
I am not interested in selling pieces since I would rather use them to build.
This type of user friendly app would build the Lego world since it would make
it easier to take ones collection and turn it into great things. Thank you...

When Condition (New/Used) is showed, also show sub-condition (sealed/complete/incomplete).
For example when using "Buy all" on Wanted List and clicking on a seller.
See attached screenshots. Currently only Used/New is shown, show also Sealed/Complete/Incomplete.

Also make it possible to specify "Sealed/Complete/Incomplete" in Wanted Lists,
not only New/Used/Any.

What are the odds that Bricklink ends up being a user-friendly marketplace without
varying hidden fees and much more regular instant checkout?

It's not great that I have to read evey seller's terms and conditions,
and then use a calculator, after guessing the shipping, in order to find out
who is actually selling a set for the lowest price.

Dear Bricklink Team,

i would suggest to you, to add the official prices of each set on the page of
the sets.
Currently i am always visiting the brickset page for that info.
If you would feature the prices on your page, i wouldnt have to visit brickset
and you would gain more traffic.

Sincerely

Simple solution to the feedback problem

Viewed:

165 times

Topic:

Status:

Open

Vote:

[Yes|No]

Greetings fellow Bricklinkers,

I have a simple solution to what I see as one of the more frequent complaints
I see sellers have about bricklink, and it is the feedback system.

SOLUTION:

Switch the Lifetime Praise on the top right for the recent 6 Month Praise
available under the "Feedback" tab, as the first rating a buyer sees.

This will relieve smaller stores of the burden of a lifetime penalty for a
1st impression that can be overcome in 6 months instead, with proper corrections.

A store's reputation is one of the most valuable intangible assets it has.
And the metric for a store's reputation is the feedback system. If you have
a good reputation that means a buyer will feel more confident in committing to
a purchase knowing that the end result will leave them satisfied over being frustrated.

I personally buy and sell quite a bit on Bricklink and I find my first impression
of a store is not always correct because of how things are currently designed.
The current system be default shows a buyer what a stores lifetime Praise is
vs the most recent 6 months Praise. IMHO, the recent 6 months is more important
and should be the default for what a buyer will see on first impression.

Why the 6 Month over Lifetime? To me this tells me whether a store is currently
on track reputation wise, corrected problems, overcome issues resulting from
being a new seller. When a lifetime Praise for a small time / new seller may
forever be impacted by one single simple neutral that might literally say "No
problems".

I know from the first impression that if the lifetime states 80% praise then
I am very hesitant to buy. I follow that up by looking at the 6 month and if
the praise 100% then that first impression is erased for me. But for those that
don't know to look at the more important 6 month Praise may forever be turned
off and go to another store.

NOTE: 1
I have provided my store as an example of what to switch. Lifetime can still
be found, but under "Feedback" tab where the current 6 month is at. I frankly
don't think this solution impacts my store personally, I however would appreciate
it as a buyer as well newer stores would benefit.

NOTE: 2
Ebay goes by a 12 month Recent feedback as default, as well other larger online
venues do something similar.

✨Click/View Count On Specific Inventory✨

My Suggestion is to add a ✨"View/Click Count"✨ on specific items in a seller's
inventory that we could see to help better gauge what our customers arrived
at our store to buy. It would also help drive sellers to add to inventory
that will actually sell. The feature could be cycled between monthly,
yearly, and overall with a drop down tab for more accurate information for
sellers. Below is a hypothetical mock up of what the suggestion would look like
in practice.

Shop the shortfall option

Over the last month or so, I have placed some 30 orders, and naturally some issues
come up, of which can be done better.

THE EXPERIENCES
This is in respect to, when I place an order with a store, sometimes they are
not able to find many of the part(s) of which I am seeking to purchase.

This can get complicated, where I have already made my payment for that order
as I do via PayPal.

As I am prepared to buy there again soon, my option has always been, for the
vendor/seller to issue me a coupon to the value of the missing parts.

WHAT I SEEK HERE IS
Rather than be issued a coupon, there are some improvements of which can help
here.

#1, A search option for that store, which will give me only the items of which
are exactly the price of the missing part(s)

#2, A search option, which shows up only the items of which are below that value.

#3, An easy reference point, like in a cart, of which says, how much to go before
I reach the value of these missing part(s)

#4, Let the seller suggest buying these instead

WHAT I AM SEEKING

I want something like a coupon, except, where I the buyer, offer to pay for something
the next time I place and order with that store.

THE PROBLEM
Of the 30x orders I have placed in the previous months, I have had a funny thing
happen in one of them.

I was sent some extras, and all by mistake by the seller. They where not even
meant to be getting sent out that day, yet, here they are.

Naturally, I want to make it good with the seller, by either returning, or paying
for the items of which they sent by mistake.

As I aim to purchase more from that store in say a few weeks, perhaps a month
or two, it makes prudent sense for me to postpone this payment, until such time
as when I make the payment for that future order.

As I said, I have placed 30x orders in the last month or two, it is hard for
me to keep track, and, often forget totally too. What I may dub as a counter-coupon,
is seen by me as the perfect solution to this problem.

Pickup and got it status

WHERE IS MY IDEA FOCUSED
--- Is in respect to the "Order Status" on the Orders Placed page.

WHAT I SEEK
--- In addition to the Status of 'Sent', I want another one with
a word that means, its ready to pick up.

PROBLEM I SEE
--- Recently with the 30 or so orders I have placed in the past two months,
I have a few, where I have the opportunity to go and pick up the order from the
seller, to save money and other things.

The word 'Sent' does not suit these types of orders. Some of the sellers,
do not set it to Sent, where I needed to ask them to do that, after I have picked
up the order, so I can in turn click it onto Completed.

I will suggest, not only have the Second option to the Sent status message, but,
also, to have an option other than received as its follow up. Such as "Picked
Up" just for me to say I got it.

Could there also be an "Error" status, for when the vendor/seller can not find
a particular part(s) for the order, This will be replaced with "Resolved" once
that has been done.

Further to this, for me the buyer, to have the option of say "Short" or "Dispute"
when, the order does not include all the bits I have ordered. I do seem to
have this a fair bit. I do place large and complicated orders of which test
the best at times.

Howdy!

I can hear you now...Baron, what is Double Search?

I'm glad you asked, because I made it up, but on second thought a better
name might be Compound Search!

But, Baron, what is Compound Search & how did you come up with this fantastic
idea!

Well, have you ever purchased a Bulk Lot? Of course you have, because all the
Cool Kids do!

But what happens when you find a part & BL returns 23 sets it can be found in...now
what?

Well, you keep digging & then find another odd part which BL shows 18 sets for...

But what if we could enter TWO parts & see what sets those two parts could be
found in together???

*BOOM* The sound just made by your mind being blown away!

You're welcome!

Come on BL...tis a simple logic gate addition to the search function already
in place & you love us!

Baron
