Hi,

Just wondering if you're able to make specific lots only available to specific
countries?

I'm looking to sell some sets but I want to set them to UK only (if you can
do this then how?)

Thank you in advance for any help!

It's not possible to differentiate.

In theory you could describe the item as for UK only and mark the item for manual
invoice and cancel orders with the item from other countries.
It would probably lead to issues, because many people don't read. You'll
get a discussion if it's a valid order.

Hey peoples! i would really like to be able to contribute by adding New set inventories

Is their a tutorial on how to do it correctly with a run down on how everything
works? If so, please point me to the video or link. If not is this something
a more experienced person might be interested in doing to teach us?

I don't have a public store. But, is there a way that I can upload parts

items?

You can search using the checkbox 'items on Wantlist' in the search options
on the right by of the My inventory page.

Can we please remove the 'Prefer My Bricklink Classic?' (and the corresponding
one from the old screen) from the top of the 'My Bricklink' page.

Yes, please remove "View My New BL" from the top of the 'My Bricklink'page.

It takes up loads of screen real estate and would be as a tick box on a display
settings option.

I think after it being there a year most people will have chosen which style
they prefer.

Re: Option to Donate to reach min. buy

In Suggestions, Brickochet writes:

This is a fairly bad marketing idea for shops that probably don't work out
in the shops favour. I know a majority of my browsing has ended up in me taking
my business and money to another shop. Where I am either buying from someone
without a min buy, or selecting other items I actually want to hit that minimum
purchase amount. So my suggestion is to add a donation field/possibility to finish
passing the required purchase line.

I have only made 3 purchases since I joined but these 3 people are profiting
by shop deterrence over the min buy. One of which was a difference of 3 cents
to the min buy vs. paying 1 cent more for the same thing because it didn't
have one.

This hasn't been implemented yet because having a store minimum doesn't
have to be intended for the money, it's often there to save time for not
having to pick small orders.

Re: Warning to seller for inconsistent config

Hello,

After some time as a buyer, I just opened my store on BrickLink.

At first I was only shipping domestic so I configured domestic shipping method
and checked only the domestic checkbox for PayPal payments.

I am now opening to international sales, so I configured international shipping
methods, but I had forgotten about the international checkbox for PayPal and
did not check it.

I got messages from potential buyers saying they could not checkout because I
had not configured a payment method.

I do not understand how enabling international shipping without international
payment can make sense, so I would assume that anyone who did this made a mistake.

My suggestion is to have BrickLink check for this inconsistent configuration
and at least warn sellers about it, or maybe even prevent it from happening.

Thanks
Alex

BrickLink can't know the intention of the seller for certain configurations.
It's the sellers responsibility to make sure that the settings are correct.
There should be a proper way to test settings though.

I thought that when I make a wanted list of things I wish to buy that any items

there a setting I may have wrong or not turned on?

No, the Have is not about the inventory but after applying an order to a Wantlist.

To search your My inventory click on the extended search options and select Items
on my Wantlist click. Then you can manually adjust the quantities of the Wantlist.

I had enough of these in the last few weeks that waiting 2 full weeks is painful

I don't mind the 1 week to pay before it is started. But another full 7 days
to complete the NPB is not necessary.

I would propose 3 additional days and that is it. Let us get our stock back
in our stores to sell to someone else instead of being held at our will for 14
full days when 10 is plenty enough.

I can't be the only one that feels this way and 14 days might have worked
10-15 years ago when access to Smart-Phones wasn't as widespread, but these
days, you can't go far without having the ability to respond. Thanks

Use instant checkout and instant payment or enable the checkbox for Use instant
checkout for low feedback buyers in the Store settings.

Please consider making a mobile-friendly version of the site. I really love Bricklink,
but the browsing experience is absolutely terrible on a mobile device. E.g. constantly
having to zoom in/out to interact with the website is extremely painful from
a UX perspective.

Alternatively (or in addition to the above suggestion), consider developing a
mobile app. That would be awesome!!

Thank you for your consideration.

Hello!

This might be a stupid question, but how can I search my inventory for parts

has to be an easier way than going manually through all 30 pages.

-Sebastian

Use the Show extra search options on the right, All Stockrooms, minimum 1 quantity.

Hello everyone,

I'm very pleased to announce that we have appointed a new Inventories Administrator,
to fill in the place that Marek left when he was promoted to Catalog Associate.

For this position we have selected member Paulvdb (Paul), whom many of you may
know as a catalog contributor, inventories contributor, and Forum participant.
He is also an established seller (since 2011, I believe) so many of you may know
him also through that channel.

Paul has distinguished himself especially by his work with older inventories,
sharing many sealed set contents data with the site for some of our precious
old vintage sets. We have found his contributions to be ultra reliable and think
he is going to do very well in this new role.

Congratulations are in order!

Russell

Welcome and congratulations to you Paul.

The Catalog Associate position is the same in terms of privileges as our former
Catalog Admin position. However, it is only a temporary position that we will
use as a stepping stone to the new Catalog Admin position, which will include
both catalog and inventories privileges plus a few other things.

Marek recently completed one year as an Inventories Administrator:

Hey there, hope your all doing well!

I wanted to run an idea by you guys see what you think, I think it would be really
beneficial and helpful. In the price guide, for any particular set, you can see
the purchase history ( which is awesome). I was thinking, would there be a way
to add which country an item sold in? I feel like that would give us sellers
an idea where an item is hot, and compare that with the pricing. Anyways I think
it would be great, let me know what you think

Hello, I saw a problem regarding catalog view. I cant's see all color variants

on the list of bricks available for sale. Does anyone know what the reason is?

Are you looking under "all" or "known" colors?

Hi, no mater what will I choose card Color info and Lots For Sale doesn't
show all available color variants. I guess I can see only "Popular" colors. Do
you know how it change?

Do you have a filter in place?
Not all known colours are available for sale, and will not be visible in the
list with colours for sale.

Hello, i have no filter, but still can't see all colors listed for sale in
general color info tab. I have many rare pieces in unique color variants, all
of them are listed in my store but I guess nobody can't see it. It doesn't
change even If i log out or change the browser, computer etc, etc. Any ideas
how to fix it?

Are they in one of your Stockrooms instead of available?

Hello, all pieces are available on sale. For example I have 2903 wheel in LBG
color but color info tab doesn't show it. You can find it only visiting my
store.

The part appears here in the items for sale:
