Tu peux ajouter ces frais dans tes settings avant pour que ça se fait automatiquement
lorsque la commande est placeé, ou tu peux les ajouter avant que le client paye
la facture.

Will the comment be added automatically, or do we have to do it to each one (if
we want)?

  How will our inventories change with the merge?
For example, if I have the following:
10x 4079b Minifigure, Utensil Seat / Chair 2 x 2 with Center Sprue Mark
and 5x 4079 Minifigure, Utensil Seat / Chair 2 x 2

Will my inventory now be:
15x 4079 Minifigure, Utensil Seat / Chair 2 x 2

or will I have 2 separate entries
10x 4079 Minifigure, Utensil Seat / Chair 2 x 2
5x 4079 Minifigure, Utensil Seat / Chair 2 x 2


It will be 2 separate entries. And if you follow the Help page for adding comments:

10x 4079 Minifigure, Utensil Seat / Chair 2 x 2 [with Center Sprue Mark]
5x 4079 Minifigure, Utensil Seat / Chair 2 x 2

  Hello everyone,

As a platform, we have decided to take a hard look at some of the mold variants
that we are currently asking you to recognize. For sellers, more variants means
extra sorting and extra work while pulling orders, plus the issues that arise
from variant misunderstandings.

For buyers, excess variants mean that it's harder to assemble a wanted list,
find stores, and ultimately obtain the parts you are looking for.

I have put together a quick Help page to outline these proposed changes:

https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=2625

Notice the date on this is coming up quickly (Feb 1), so I'm not giving a
lot of time for discussion. I'm aiming for about 1 week of discussion and
then we'll give sellers 2 weeks to adjust the descriptions on affected items
if they wish to retain the distinctions.

I plan to construct a full FAQ page with answers to all your questions. This
will serve to inform users about what was done here in February 2024, and also
help point the catalog in the right direction in the future.

To get started, I'll list a few here:

1. This sounds like you're dumbing down the BrickLink catalog to make
it easier for new users. Is that what is going on?


Not really. There are many, many other variants we expect people to sort and
care about. These ones don't really seem to matter much, and some of them
(e.g., the minifigure heads) actually cause problems for the catalog that cannot
be corrected otherwise.

2. What if I really care about a certain variant that is going away? Can I
still buy and sell that variant?


Absolutely! You can add notes to your listings to make them as "determined"
as you wish. Buyers can still search within notes for extra details, or they
can simply observe them as they browse listings.

3. How do I know which exact variants will be merged? I only see one example
in each category.


Please ask in this thread and I can be very specific. Usually we are talking
about a handful of parts and the printed versions.

4. Has a merge like this ever been done before?

Yes, there was a precedent - the Headlight Brick with Slot:

https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1016584

It was marked for deletion a few years ago and was finally merged last August.

5. Are these the only parts up for consideration, or are there other variants
that will be merged as well?


This is all for now. Based on how well this goes, we may elect to remove other
entries later. However, we will keep all functional variants and important cosmetic
variants.

maybe a simple Poll would be something needed to see what the Community thinks.

Poll:

Which option would you prefer as a Spamming Solution

A? nothing, Raw Spam is Delicious!
B) require a Pay-To-Play Positive Feedback, similar to the Seller Requirement
C) require new users to be Verified by some Official Secondary means w/ Bricklink.
D) ban Zero Feedback Members from posting URL Links in the Forum.
E) allow Zero Feedback Members Limited Forum Access that is a Moderator Only
visiblie / Replies Enabled post

being fair, let's say leave poll open for 1 week...
to give occational forum readers a chance to participate, if they want too.

please just give a simple letter vote, no harrassing others for their vote. we

Welcome Jonas

In Catalog, Admin_Russell writes:
  Hello everyone,

As of today, we have promoted BrickLink member Turez (Jonas) from Catalog Associate
to Catalog Administrator. In practical terms, this means he will now have full
privileges on both sides of the catalog, governing both the entries themselves
and the inventory system which connects them:

https://www.bricklink.com/v3/member/community_experts.page

Jonas has done excellent work during this past year in his catalog-side-only
position, quickly masterning all the various functions in what has often been
called a "minefield" environment.

Of particular interest to him is the process of getting all the set entries added
to the database at the correct time (and with the correct details of course),
which involves staging them as pending items and doing research as to when each
set will be released:

https://www.bricklink.com/catalogListOld.asp?itemPend=Y&catType=S

The scheduled release date is usually added to the item name on a pending entry.
As you can see, we are on the verge of a huge upload of new sets. June 1 is typcially
the single busiest release date besides January 1.

We are very pleased to have such great talent on our team. So join me in welcoming
Jonas to this new position!

I was thinking the same thing.
Anyone know a website to list unwanted Tims prizes? Or if someone wants these,
let me know.

I have the following:
50% off PKG Carry Goods Sitewide
$10 off your Voilà Grocery Order Digital Code



In Off Topic, Nubs_Select writes:
  one of the common prizes was a $10 discount for voila but when you go to the
site the default is $15 off over here in Canada discounts are not usually
stackable so I'm not sure if this is an exception but probably just means
you pay $5 more to use the prize unless you've already placed more then 3
orders with them

Yes it is enabled on the selected shipping type, but orders keep coming in without
the phone number.

I have "Require phone number for shipping address." enabled.
However, today I received an order, which does not have the phone number added.

Maybe an issue with the new function?

Bonjour,
Les commandes internationalles peuvent prendrent longtemps en ce moment (parfois
3 mois+).
Je pense qu'envoyer le paquet à ta famille risque de prendre plus longtemps
encore, mais je ne sais pas les conditions pour le Hong Kong.

Bonne chance avec ceci, et bon plaisir avec tes Lego!

  Bonjour,

Je souhaite commander depuis Hong-Kong et je voulais savoir si certains d'entre
vous avaient déjà commandé depuis là-bas car j'ai plusieurs interrogations
quant aux délais de livraison s'ils étaient plus ou moins longs , de plus
ma belle-famille habitant sur le continent est-il préférable de livrer à leur
adresse en Chine pour qu'il m'expédie le colis en France ou cela posera
des problèmes ( frais de douane) ?

Merci à vous, cordialement.

Please allow buyers (or sellers) to un-cancel quotes. If parts become unavailable,
the quote could be automatically adjusted with a note.
This way a buyer would not have to start over from scratch.

Thank you for considering this.
