I save my sprues from this plant element. I have used them here and there, but
not in great quantity. If I was still selling parts, I would have sold them.

I have saved all my sprues and pins, etc. and if they are added to the catalog
one day, I would be happy to list them for sale.

I disagree since LEGO calls this part plant, so if people are looking for this
part based on what LEGO has and has sold I'd be looking for plant, this is
called part continuation between sites, there is also the fact LEGO owns this
place and if they are gonna call it plant there, they can call it plant here.
|
That is ridiculous. Do you have any idea how many things we classify here according
to our names or names that are in common usage? The point is that people will
be able to search for and find this part when they need to. LEGO parts can all
be used in a vast variety of ways, but now we need to restrict classification
for just this one part because LEGO said so?? It should be called Plant and Seaweed
and Coral and whatever else is practical for sellers and buyers to find it when
needed.
Jen
|
no my point is we need to keep the plant name in.
|
My apologies for speaking harshly. Not a good day for me today. 
The change I submitted was simply to change it to
Plant Thallus, Seaweed, Coral

| | Hello
I got a quote request from a customer saying that the shipping was too high.
When I looked at the order it looks like the below piece is the issue.
I have shipped this part before with no issues as lettermail.
With Canada post anything thicker than 2cm must be sent as parcel which is much
more expensive.
I am trying to understand how bricklink takes the 2x2x2 and translates that to
shipping dimensions in centimetres or inches.
Also can someone help me to understand how this can be 2x2x2 when one side is
longer than it is wide.
Is one of the measurements stacked bricks?
Thanks for any help

Thank you this helps, but it doesn’t address how bricklink uses this information
as it relates to packaging limits.
|
BrickLink keeps a separate database for packaging dimensions not related to the
format of our catalog data. The new database was derived from a mishmash of sources
but is now updated by members posting in a certain thread here in the Forum.
You can only view the dimensions entered for the parts in your shop on the My
Inventory pages.
Hope that helps,
Jen

Comments from Submitter:
I acquired this set from its original owner in fantastic shape and still built. I am reasonably confident that these parts were not mixed with other sets, and this can be treated as a reliable source to update the inventory.

* Add 1 Part 11097 Pearl Gold Minifigure, Armor Shoulder Pads with Front Stud and 2 Back Studs
Comments from Submitter:
Wrong armor shoulder pads are listed for this figure, this can be confirmed from the instruction download from lego on page 5 of set 70010. I have this figure and can provide picture of correct setup if needed.
|
This has been wrong in the catalog for a long time and many sellers probably
have this listed as pictured. So it would be better to add a new minifigure and
have this one marked for deletion.
It looks like the armor shoulder pads for this minifigure were switched with
another minifigure this is pcitured with 11097 when it should have 11098. Can
you also add a new minifigure for this one?
|
TLG either got the instructions wrong or got the official box and set images
wrong. The box and set images show the minifigures as they are in the catalog,
but the downloaded instructions show them reversed. My kids have this set. I
will find the hard copy instructions that I have to see if they match the downloaded
instructions. Maybe the online instructions are wrong.
Cheers,
Randy

By the way, I see that Bricklink's descriptions are a bit off and need improvement
"Purchase Confirmation: Sent to a buyer who made a purchase with Instant Checkout"
Not true, only when it is paid onsite. Otherwise it is not sent.
"Order Invoice: Sent to a buyer who you issued an invoice to"
...or sent instantly by Instant Checkout, unless the order is paid onsite.

I reported the typo and the poor grammar on that page to BrickLink for 6 months

| | I recently decided to add instant checkout to my store. I received my first
ever neutral feedback because I didn't include a note as requested in the
buyer's comment section. My suggestion is to add the buyer's comments
section on the sellers invoice (like it always has been on the invoice when an
invoice was requested). There is no buyer's comments section on the email
I receive notifying me that an order has been placed. In this instance, this
caused an unpleasant experience for the buyer.

Please excuse my ignorance, but where are comments left during Instant Checkout
viewable to sellers? I am wary of this system still and info like this makes
me even more uncertain.

| | As part of the larger roadmap project of updating catalog guidelines, we anticipate
making this page official on or before June 1st, 2020:
|
This morning I had two different people ask via PM that we delay implementing
these new definitions for item types and categories so that we could discuss
them further.
I see three paths we could take from here:
1. Make these official in one week from today, but not move anything yet.
Instead, only move things as part of projects on the roadmap.
2. Make these official and immediately begin allowing limited movements
of item types and categories as necessary.
3. Delay making these definitions official.
My thought is that these definitions will not be perfect. They must be field-tested
and will change over time as flaws are discovered. They have been delayed for
20 years and I'm not overly thrilled about further delays.
But I also understand that the last few months have been an exceptionally busy
time for sellers, so many sellers simply haven't had time to consider or
comment on the definitions.
So my preference is for the first option from the list above. What's yours?
|
Thanks for being so responsive about this issue! I am comfortable with Option
1 as it keeps things moving forward and respects the work that has already been
done. And, I would be very relieved to know that parts won't be moving around
yet without further time (and maybe discussion.)
Keep up the great work,

I see 12 ways to sort items but not really any that sort by item number. I would
like
Condition - Category - Item Number - Color Name
Do most sellers sort by category than number? It seems like that makes most
sense. It would be nice then, if orders could be sorted that same way.

Sorting by item number is a difficult issue with this site. They are a combination
of letters and numbers and won't give you consistent results.

No, there is no way to check your inventory history. But you can look in your
stockrooms. Aso, the most common errors occur I believe when updating items on
the My Inventory pages, hitting Submit Changes and then having the site time
out on your request. (Or on the final page of the Add Items dialog.) Check and
double check your work.
Good luck,
