|
| Hello all. I have been going through the Members - Feedback ratings list, going
on page 21,158 to find information on something that I have been wondering about.
Well in doing this I have seen thousands of users that don't seem to be
"active" users. So I am thinking the 731,476 registered users is somewhat irrelevant.
Many are a once and done, sort of user.
I would like to suggest, that leaving the registered user count intact, but add
the count of "Active" users. Have BL not count the inactive users after say
6 months or 1 year, of actual log in date. This would give us all a better idea
of how many actual users are using BL. This could work just as the purge orders
after 6 months. This would still allow a user to log in after being put into
not active, and then would be in the active number for the 6 months or year.
What say you?
Dave

| 1) Please fix the BL login. Multiple times pretty much every day BL tells me
that my auto-fill password and id are in error.
Sometimes I can switch to a new tab or close the browser and start it again.
Other times, I have to clear my cookies (it took 2 tries of clearing cookies
just now). When I clear my cookies for BL, I also lose all my other site prefilled
info.
None of the above is acceptable for a modern website.
2) Links: why on earth do the upper links (community, my store, my bl, etc) work
when clicked on, but do not when you right-click for a new tab? (Google Chrome)
Please fix this too.

I agree with you there. But it has been discussed before, and it seems that it
is more buyer friendly to allow them to finish filling and checking out a cart
if they have been spending hours or days doing it.

| Clearly, and even repeatedly upon each closure, informing BrickLink sellers that
their stores are not closed until 30 minutes after they "close" them would be
a good thing.
A better thing would be closing the store at the time store owners desire.
The first paragraph, not being the situation at hand, is an indicator that developers
are detached from the community they serve.

| | Another consideration is that the 29-minute delay means the store is simply not
closed when a store owner wants it to be.
For example, I recently made a large discount error across many more lots and
item types than intended. I didn't know how to quickly undo the change without
messing up other pricing considerations, so I "closed" my store to ensure no
orders were placed with erroneous pricing.
However my store was not actually closed, based on BrickLink's imposed delay.
And during the five to ten minutes needed to set things straight, an order could
have been placed based on unintended pricing.
I recommend that stores close at the moment when store owners want them closed.

Setting a $1000000 minimum buy does that for most stores and is instant.

| Hi,
I recently commented that the apparent BrickLink-imposed delay of 29 (or 30)
minutes may wrongly give customers the impression they must complete their order
within this time frame, as opposed to my and others' store closed messages

for however much time, often days, a seller can provide a particular customer
to finish their shopping cart. In short, I think the store closure message is
more polite than the 29-minute countdown.

From what I understand, if you upgrade from a buyer to a seller and if you are
a member in good standing (active 100 days and received 5 positive feedback),
then opening the store is automatically allowed.
You are a member in good standing, but you were not at the time that you tried
to upgrade as you just got the feedback last week. If I were you, I'd send
another email to Admin to try to kick-start the process again, perhaps with attention
to Jaclyn. For you it shouldn't take so long to open at this point, but
because you arrived at this point in a different way, it may unfortunately be
as MariaA says, take a few weeks. Hopefully not though. Good luck.
If you are selling parts, it might be helpful to include a shipping chart and
a few more details in your terms to help encourage buyers. I'm not in the
US, but I got the impression from buying in the US that there are shipping categories.

| For many years, I have used the "Item Finder" instead of "Search" at the top
of most pages as I find the functionality better, specifically for filtering
the country of origin of seller.
I again find the "new" search pages not as helpful. I click on "USA" for origin,
then click details, and it shows all parts, not just the sellers in "USA" for
example.
I wanted to pass along this user feedback and see if anyone else has easier and
better ways to find parts. I do not see the "Item Finder" on the new pages,
and suggest that it remain.

The process takes approx. two weeks after you complete the necessary steps. You
only completed at least two of those steps two days ago. You've been waiting
a month only because you didn't thoroughly read the information. I agree
the process could be simpler, but the information is there and simply needs to
be given the appropriate attention.
A better suggestion might be for BL to create an unambiguous list of things a
new store needs to do, with green ticks generated automatically against each
item as they're completed, with a "submit for review" button only available
after all other steps have been ticked off.

Agreed. All the information is there.

They'd entered an unnecessary Store bypassword which keeps their stores locked.

Correct. As long as an item marked for deletion is referenced in the database
anywhere (set inventories, store inventories, stockroom inventories, old orders,
etc.), I don't think it can be removed by the Catalog Admins from the catalog.
Since some users never update their stockrooms or stores and disappear forever
into the LEGO abyss, some items will be in the database indefinitely. Unless
some updated guidelines and policies are created to remove items marked for deletion
after a certain amount of time (no matter the intended consequences to users'
stores), these items may never actually get deleted.
Cheers,
Randy

|
| Hello,
I think that implementing a shipping method setting allowing or disallowing to
buy without VAT would be very helpful for VAT-registered sellers from the EU.
All orders received from buyers outside of the EU are automatically placed without
VAT, but sometimes sellers can only sell without VAT using particular shipping
methods. Of course VAT can be added manually to order if needed, but what about
upcoming instant checkout?
This setting would allow sellers to set shipping method to automatically add
VAT to orders in checkout when buyer selects such shipping method, even if the
buyer is from outside of the EU.
What do you think sellers?
Best regards,
Tomasz

Thanks for the reminder on this! The "problem" still exists (maybe BL doesn't
view it as a problem?).
I too, would like to know what is the current status of this suggestion as my

is. The road map (here: https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=2453) makes

Click on the little house icon next to the sellers name on your Orders Page...takes

Also, you can hover your pointer over the "MY BL" icon, then click on "orders".
Then you can see all your orders, and of course the sellers from whom you purchased.

I would have expected a link on the My Orders page to see the seller's store,
but all I can find is detailed information about the seller minus a link to his
actual store.
I would also have expected a link to the stores I've ordered parts from under
recent activity, but again I don't see anything.
I did find a way to add the store as a Favorite, but that involved a decent amount
of work to copy the seller's id into the field to add them to the list just
so I can get a link back to that seller's store.
Is this an odd behavior to want to revisit a store?

Click on the little house icon next to the sellers name on your Orders Page...takes
you directly to their store

Take this suggestion: https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1053439
It has recently been marked as “already exists.”
However, the situation didn’t change: When opening a “cart,” we’re not taken
directly to the cart. It depends on the store’s settings.
How can we go directly to a cart?

This is also marked as "already exists".
https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=827221
Minimum order 4 international customers
If someone could point me to the page where I can set that up, that would be
fantastic.
Thanks!

All posts (and replies) need approval? It's not that difficult if you "hire"
a person or two as forum mods that do only that. Or, as I've seen in a different
forum, you must have at least x amount of "quality" posts before you're free
to post without any checks and balances. Only some suggestions

That seems like a pretty big use of resources to deal with a minor inconvenience
that the existing forum mods already handle as well as can be expected.

| Rules and regulations on the forum have been mentioned several times before with
others suggesting a feedback limit or a set age on an account for posting, but
I think the best option is for a moderator to manually comb through all new threads
before they get posted on the forum.

This would not be possible unless these sub-assemblies are added to the catalog
separately. Here is one of the many discussions on the subject which have occurred

| I've posted this before and was told Bricklink doesn't prioritise mobile
devices, but anyway, I would really really like to be able to use Bricklink properly
on my tablets. They are just much more comfortable to walk around with when sorting
orders than laptops.. but I can't, since I cannot use the menus. When I click
on the icons in the top bar, the dropdown menu appears properly, but whenever
I click on an item the menu disappears and nothing happens.
You can partly work around it by sending the links from a desktop computer and
then bookmarking them on the tablet, but it's still not comfortable.
Can this please be solved? I have this issue on a Lenovo as well as a Windows
Surface, in all browsers, so I'm sure I'm not the only one.

Hi there,
As mentioned in the past, we have been working on implementing a mobile-friendly
website, but it takes a lot of detailed planning and effort on our part. It is
definitely not a short-term project. We are currently working on the implementation
of this, but you can follow the progress here on our Road Map page: https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=2453
Thank you for your patience as we work to make our website mobile-friendly!

Yes, not having to find the message ID and the correct problem page would make
it easier to report messages. That would help.
An icon could be added next to Cancel and Reply, which could take you directly
to the reporting page with the message number already filled in.

| I think a good solution would be, to let 0 feedback members tick a box with 'I'm
not a robot' before they can post a message.

Hold on. Are you telling me the passport I just bought off this website is a
scam? Can't be. The guy didn't have any negative feedback. I'm sure
it will arrive. And if it doesn't, I'll just file an NSS.
