| Hi guys
I am writing this both as a buyer and seller.
I am using an international Depot in Germany when purchasing goods from Central
Europe.
The reasons behind this are few, but are not subject of the current topic.
I think it will be very useful to add a different address field for delivery
so I don't have to change my address when purchasing.
Thank you
Best regards
Nato

Those who have switched to Paypal Marketplace are not receiving the notifications.
Many users are complaining about that in other posts.

This suggestion has been changed to 'Implemented'. I am not receiving
PayPal email notifications for payments that occur via Instant Checkout. I receive
PayPal payment notifications from other venues tho. How do I cause payments on
BrickLink to generate email notifications.
These notifications are essential because they are the only place that PayPal
gives me the 'Receipt number' for customers who use direct payment from
payment cards (i.e. PayPal Express). Those Receipt Numbers do not appear on the
PayPal payment detail page.

| Add another column to the orders page display that tells you the price of your
orders in one currency, of your choice. Good for budgeting, and estimating your
spending. Can be an approximation, if it needs to be, it would really just be
a tool to help you work out how much you've spent. Otherwise you have to
do it manually, or in your head.

| Hi there,
Can we please have the Global Marketplace link back on the home screen?
Using the catalog method to find parts is cumbersome and inefficient, not to
mention its header takes up a half the browser space to give the user information
which is utterly useless unless you are specifically hunting for it. The image
of the element itself is a double up as the seller listings have a thumbnail
beside them also.
Kind regards,
Thoy Bradley

| | Hi Robert,
I got your email and have started the alert process after testing the problem
on several devices. So we know this is going on and are in the process of fixing
it.
This seems to be the very same bug we had yesterday after the launch of the new
TOS.
|

Do you have any ETA on a fix?

Here's a novel idea. Roll back to the old ToS and we have our site back.
IT upgrades are always terrible planned and lack any testing.

Great, thanks for the response, that is at least good to know. I still stand
by my original post though and with respect if the problem is known then it would
be really helpful if there were a message/banner on the site advising members
of this..especially those who don't use the forum.
Thanks again for your quick reply though, much appreciated.

Completely agree. I've been looking at some scanning companies in anticipation
of possibly (and professionally) scanning my E&D catalog collection and they
offer these services. It would be most helpful to know without going through
an entire catalog if the set you're looking for appears therein.

I've wanted this functionality in the past, but can't recall just why.
So I'll answer your question by mentioning the situation that prompted me
to post this suggestion.
This set includes two minifigures as counterparts:
I wanted to know how many sets include figures as counterparts, but could not
search for this information. With the feature I'm asking for I could use
the advanced search to find all the sets with figures inventoried as counterparts.
The requested features would probably be most useful to those working on the
catalog and its inventories, but others may find them useful as well.

There are other fan sites that already do this, but the results vary. This
would be a useful feature that would compliment the BrickLink catalog, enable
more effective catalog/inventory work, and draw more visitors to the site. Plus,
there would never be questions about copyright because TLG is publishing the
data themselves.
If this was done, I would add scans of my extensive Dacta/Education catalog collection.
Nearly all of the catalogs in my collection would only be available as scans
on BrickLink.
Thanks for considering it.

Currently Step 3 is timed out after an unknown amount of time and this is not
stated anywhere until you actually get the timeout. When the timeout occurs,
portions of the data being submitted can be lost (and, obviously, this occurs
with no warning whatsoever).
Thank you.

I am saying yes to this. My last few part outs were a disaster of wasted effort
thanks to the timing out issue. It can easily take 30 minutes to part out a
large set, especially if you need to adjust amounts, or condition factors, or
add some remarks.

|
| I really like the suggestion, I know that the described solution works, but it
is not comfortable.
Reason why it is not comfortable as you wrote:
- I have multiple wanted lists
- When applying an order to multiple wanted lists, you do not see how many bricks
have been assign already.
- After the apply you do not have an overview of how many bricks are left for
use for other things.
So it would be generally better to have a list like "ordered bricks" or "my bricks".
Then from this list apply the order to a wanted list with the same screen as
today. And then decrease the amount of the "my bricks" list by the applyed number.
This would help me to have a view on what I have right after the apply_order_to_wanted_list
function.
And even when I add a new wanted list, with a function like "fill from my bricks",
this would help.
Cheers Maik

|
| It would be very nice to allow store management to configure when a Stripe payment
is actually captured instead of capturing payment at checkout. In some countries
it's not allowed to capture payment before the order is actually shipped.
For instance it could be configured to automatically capture the payment when
the order status is set to "Shipped". This is how Stripe integration is handled
on BrickOwl so there's definitely an API for this. If an automatic handling
of this cannot be implemented for whatever reason I'd be ok with settling
for a manual process.
I would love to be able to fully comply with regulations  .

You can use «Apply order» button in your wanted list
|
Beware!
You can “Apply” the same order to multiple lists, hence counting the same bought
brick multiple times.
Worse, you can “Apply” the same order multiple times to the same list.
Better to make “bought lists” and manually (and painfully) change the values
in the “really anted lists” yourself.

Thanks for the cautions!
