| It would be wonderful to have a function to load an incoming order into the personal
inventory, as it is done for partout.
Actually the loading of parts shall be done manually...
I think it would be a good function for both the re-sellers and the users that
want to simply use the inventory function.

| Please add filters to the gallery search and the first one should be to filter
out all display only models.
I go to the gallery to find models to download, order and build, not just to
look at. I like to filter out the display only MOCs.
Thank you.

|
| Please consider the implementation of other Stripe payment methods such as Ideal
and Sofort which can be used for instant check out. With these options offsite
payments like IBAN / bank transfers are less needed and it's very convenient/normal
for a lot of European customers to use these methods.
I have to admit that it's also a lot more cost effective to use these payment
methods over the ever increasing PayPal costs. Especially since we're not
transferring those costs to the people who buy Lego from us.
I hope that it won't be that much of a deal for the site developers to implement
since Bricklink already has a connection with Stripe, but I'm no expert in
API's etc...

|
| Hello,
I'm currently struggling with multiple wish lists, and updating the owned
parts with my orders, to keep track of how many I still need.
My lists often share the same conbinations of pieces&color, and this prevent
me from applying orders on more than one, without messing the overall count.
(This also prevent me from merging my lists.)
I think it would be great to be able to apply an order on multiple wish lists,
making sure pieces applied to a list aren't applied to the other ones.
You would have to specify which list is the first one, the second one and so
on, and the algorithm would apply the order to the first list, then the remaining
pieces to the second one, and so on.
An alternative feature would be to be able to merge lists which have conflicts
(same pieces&color combinations). Why not addition the wanted quantities, owned
quantities and concatenate the comments? It should be fine with a message explaining
how it deals with the conflicts and asking for confirmation.

|
| Since I have the store, I've noticed that buyers generally don't know
what kind of work there is behind he preparation of an order.
the idea is to give the sellers the possibility to set up a "timeline" (even
automatically, as it happens with the istant invoice) shared with the buyer.
it would turn out as a more "amazon" experience; and help the buyer being calm
while waiting orders

|
| It would be really useful if there was an inventory system implemented for buyers
not just sellers. That way if I buy a set for parts I can simply come on here
and add those parts to my inventory and then any wish list I have containing
those parts would be updated accordingly.

| Now and then (today for me) it would be handy to be able to merge two orders

would be nice to just merge them.

|
| I wish Bricklink would take a closer look at Brickstock and incorporate at least
some of the features that exist there.
For example the use of multiple filter capabilities would be superb for the order
detail page as well as lots of other areas e.g. part identification etc.
If you look at the image I have attached you will see what I mean. It is a natural
element of SQL and when we had goatleg and miniconfigurator that is how both
of them worked (with some modifications)
It really is not a difficult feature to add and would save hundreds if not thousands
of hours work on behalf of the stores for a small amount of time for developers.
Anyone else feel the same?
The 'and/or' filter is a great tool - is easy to learn and use and with
the catalogue getting more and more complex and populated with data this is really
a must.
BTW - we would have expected something like this in the long delayed (and probably
forgotten about) sellers tools

|
| We've been parting out and listing a lot of sets lately and we use the remark
field to put in the location in our inventory system.
One thing that slows us down a lot when storing parts is that there is no way
to sort the list by remark. That means that we have to run around the warehouse
to put parts in their correct spot and it's a big waste of time. If we could
sort the part out by remarks then we wouldn't have this issue and it's
very likely an easy fix on the side of the site.

Would it be possible to show a quick list of items that the shop doesn't
have in a given wanted list ?
Say I have 100 items in any wanted list. While in a shop it says there are 90
available but it's not easy to know which arn't. Plus some duplicate
items and in reality it's just 80/100. So I'd like some option to show

| Hello!
I'm finding it could be useful to be able to search my store inventory for
parts from my wanted lists, or for them to come up when I go to buy from my wanted
list. I would assume my the auto buy thing searches my store as well, but considers
the cost of the pieces. Maybe it could be improved to show parts from my store
as free for me (I have a buyer/seller account, rather than separate ones).
Thanks!

that would be a perfect gift for me as a AFOL Lego designer. So a gift card that
anyone can buy directly online from the main Bricklink page, without needing

|
| Hi,
I would like to suggest that "Date Listed" information be made available to a
seller on each "Item in Order" listed on an Order Summary. This is particularly
helpful when an entire lot has been purchased. Allow me to explain:
On several occasions, I have found the "Date Listed" information to be quite
useful when looking for a part that I am unable to locate in my inventory. For
example, when I see that I listed Part X last Tuesday, I might remember that
I put Part X in Tray Y, in preparation for storage. However, "Date Listed" information
is only available when an item is still in stock or in a stockroom. Once the
lot is sold, the information is no longer available (to the best of my knowledge).
Which puts one in an unfavorable situation if they have misplaced a part and
are on the clock for shipping an order out!
Such a feature might look something like the attached image.
Thanks for your consideration.

| I'd like to suggest a new feature for sorting inventories.
Currently, inventories can be sorted "By Color," which groups items alphabetically
based on the color names. I don't find this feature to be very helpful, and
I don't use it very often. Would it be possible/reasonable to add a feature

|
| the thing I dislike most about ordering from this site, in how hard it is to
control the quality of the pieces that I get.
And I don't think loose pieces should be categorized between "new" and "used",
because all loose pieces are used (Yes I know you can order them individually
from Lego at times, but functionally when you buy lego it comes in a set, outside
of that set they are used).
What there needs to be is a grading scale, either number based (1-5) or description
based (Comics use words like Mint, Near Mint, Very Fine, Fine, etc; playing cards
will use words like Near Mint, Lightly Played, Moderately Played, Damaged, etc).
Sellers would be forced to classify all their pieces into one of these conditions,
and then I would be able to filter out conditions that I thought were unacceptable.
Create a clear cut visual guide for conditions, and award disputes based on that.
I sell cards on www.tcgplayer.com and knowing that buyers can win disputes if
I send them cards that are worse then they wanted, I make sure to put forth the
effort to accurately grade the cards when I list them. Yes it is more work, but
I have never once had an issue with a buyer buying a card from me that they were
unhappy with because of the condition.
In my first batch of orders on this site I got several pieces that were damaged,
etc. It was really frustrating, because when doing mass purchases on this site
it is seemingly impossible to filter out bad pieces, and when you let the site
build the orders for you, its hard to see and notice all the "notes" that sellers
put on their items.
So I don't feel justified in blaming a seller because I received two saddles
with broken clips, forcing me to order two new saddles, because they noted it
on their items. The issue here is the functionality of the website to convey
that to me, and allow me to filter their items from my potential orders.
I honestly would suggest you take a hard look at www.tcgplayer.com Coming from
card games, I was really surprised at how similar the process of buying/selling/collecting
individual cards/decks/sets is to Lego pieces/sets. Like, functionally they are
completely the same, and TCGplayer is a really well honed marketplace (nothing
is perfect), but learning from what they do right would greatly improve your
already fantastic site.

|
| I really wish I didn't have to click into a specific order to see the tracking
#.
It would make a lot of sense, and be really helpful if there was a column on
the Orders page that listed any available tracking number along with the order.
Bonus points if clicking on the tracking number takes me to viewing the tracking
history (via usps website or google, or wherever).
Also, incentives should be made to encourage tracking numbers. 1st class postage
with tracking can be had for around $3 in the US for small items, most places
have charged me at least that regardless of whether they include tracking or
not. It should be prioritized, and required for purchases over a certain amount
as it alleviates a lot of headache and prevents a lot of bad interactions.
When I sell cards on www.Tcgplayer.com, I waive my right to win any dispute with
a buyer if I do not include a tracking #, and I have to include one in order
to get paid for an order over $50. I love it, because when things go missing,
I can just politely point them to the USPS and both Tcgplayer and Paypal will
have my back.

|
| So you have a wanted list of 5000 pieces and 350 items. You go ahead and order
them using the auto select feature and it goes to say 17 stores. On the orders
page, as they come in, you choose "completed" to show ou have received the full
order.
Now why would be incredibly helpful is that as you "complete" an order the Wanted
List is was bought from is auto updated to reflect that you now have these pieces.
All the necessary information is already in your system, it should be a relatively
simple matter of pulling those data sources together.

| Why does bricklink show this? A simple IF statement could be used to only show
a discount when it is possible for a buyer to achieve. Then it doesn't make
the store look stupid by offering discounts that a buyer cannot possibly take
advantage of.

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.

|
| Is it possible for Bricklink to improve the method of requesting insurance for
an order?
Currently one has to add a comment to another area, which I am not sure if the
seller sees.
Also when doing instant checkout through Paypal, there is no way to add insurance,
as the order gets paid for before the seller even sees it. (To the best of my
knowledge, as I am not a seller.) I do add the comment anyway, but it seems
kind of pointless once the money has been sent.
Not sure if I am in the minority with my consistent request for insurance. If
so, then it is more understandable why this may not have been addressed previously
and/or may not be addressed soon.
Thank you for your time and consideration.

| Someone just ordered from me and marked the order paid when I haven't even

As a seller, it doesn't matter to me if the numbers are in bold (showing
'paid' since I don't think it is paid until I check Paypal to make
sure it is in my account. (or received the check in the mail or whatever).
Like Scrooge, I don't ship until I have the 'cash in hand', so I
should be the only one to mark it paid. (or the Paypal link, that is fine too,
just not the buyer).

|
| I think that when going to a category such as Minifigures, parts, or sets there
should be an option to sort from highest to lowest price and vice versa. A benefit
of this would be if I wanted, say, a Ninjago villain because all I have are ninja,
but I don’t want to pay a lot, I could just sort the entire Ninjago minifigure
category from lowest to highest price and select the first cool villain I find,
which is obviously the cheapest because of how it would be sorted. It would make
it a lot easier than searching through a bunch of characters and writing down
all the prices. I have added a picture of where this should go in the catalogue.
I hope you consider my suggestion.

|
| I have been in the process of designing, buying the parts, and building the set
that I envisioned and created through Lego Digital Designer.
Through this process, I discovered that I have been buying too many of some parts,
not realizing that I had already ordered them. Plus completely forgetting to
buy other parts. With that being said, a question popped into my head as to what
could Bricklink create to help designers, and buyers keep track of the parts
they need.
Why doesn't Bricklink have a history of parts a buyer purchases in their
activity, or account profile history? This feature would definitely make things
super easy while being in the process of building a design, and sticking to a
budget.
Personally, I have never used the "upload" feature for Lego Digital Designer,
so I cannot say if this feature already exists or not. Given that I am trying
to keep my build a secret, to a point, I did not use the "upload" feature, thinking
it may reveal my design.
The thing is, it would be handy to see the history in how many specific parts
I have purchased in total. This feature could then break down where I purchased
these parts, and allow me to add, and see the notes I left for myself for each
store. To make it extra easy, these parts could then be categorized under the
set's design each creator have made, keeping them a secret until after their
reveal.
Perhaps I am over thinking things? Perhaps not?
I do know one thing: When you have a budget, and something is much easier to
use, we tend to use them way more.
Thankfully, I have discovered that most in this community are wonderful individuals,
whom I would easily become great friends with. Working with them to build my
creations has been a blessing.
Thank you to all of those who are amazing, and have helped me along my journey
to build my creations.

|
| Hi
I have been buying and selling on BrickLink for nearly 10 years now and although
it can be a bit clunky it does the job of bringing buyers and sellers together
but just recently changes have been made that have caused problems for buyers
and sellers alike due to lack of communication from those making the changes,
I have listed 2 that have affected me and my buyers int the last week or so.
1) The change to the way the order and payment status works was a complete surprise
and took me a good 30 minutes to work out what was going on (not everyone has
my analytical ability to work this out).
2) The email sent out to buyers when a seller is short of parts (i.e. Problem
with Item in Order), has been made less useful as the link that used to be there
to help buyers 'approve' removal of item(s) is no longer given (yes the
email looks nicer but it is as good as useless). Because I wasn't aware
of this change I chased a buyer saying there was a link in the email which made
me look like I didn't know what I was doing.
I have been working in IT for 40 years and it is recognised good practice to
send out a 'release note' to all users (post it on the site somewhere
and email everyone a link) detailing key changes that are going to be made in
the next release (before the event) so everyone knows and can prepare accordingly.
Please don't say this doesn't apply to 'apps' or Internet based
systems because some of the best sites do this (e.g. www.mid.as).
BrickLink relies on the income provided by it's buyers ordering parts and
sellers paying commission, if you don't communicate properly you risk buyers
and sellers going elsewhere, which would be a big shame.
Please keep us all better informed so we can service our customers properly and
support you all at BrickLink to continue to proved an otherwise great site.
I would appreciate a constructive response from admin to this message
Thanks

percent but not all items in that catagory will have gone up or down the same
amount so being able to put everything to this average pricing would be handy.

| Hi there,
It would be really good if in the sellers store shipping settings page we could
add in a automated message. For example I have a shipping option which is 'I'm
still shopping' it would be good if when someone selected this option it
automatically sent them a message like 'thanks for your order, please message
us withing 7 days to say you have completed your order so we may invoice you'.
It would save a lot of time from having to write them out for each individual
order. Even better would be if this whole shipping option was avaliable for all
sellers to select and turn on instead of making a shipping option and having
to put in prices (in which mine is 0 until the order is done then worked out
manually).

|
| Hi,
As a BrickLink buyer, I would like to make some suggestions to improve the GUI:
1. It would be great to be able to search for parts in all my orders.
2. In the orders, I would like to keep the ID# of each part. Currently,
only the name of the part is kept.
3. I would like to "prioritize" my Wanted Lists, maybe in two categories
to keep it simple: "priority" and "non priority". Thus, when I shop, I can focus
on the "priority" lists to buy their missing parts, and then potentially add
additional parts to already ordered parts if common with "non priority" lists
(that's what I do manually, currently).
4. In a Wanted List, in the search options, I would like to be able to save
my usual search parameters, i.e. :
- 100 items per page
- "Hide Items if Have Qty is ≥ Want Qty"
Currently, I have to painfully redo this each and every time I browse my Wanted
Lists.
5. 100 items per page is not enough. 1,000 would be cool, so that there
is a good chance to see all parts in one page (in a Wanted List, in a shop, etc.)
6. In a shop, when you look at a part, BrickLink indicates just below
in a grey line some useful information:
- In which Wanted List this part can be found
- The total wanted and have quantities
a) It would be great to have also an indication of the quantity currently
in orders not yet received.
b) It would be great also to be able to click on or fly over "In XX Wanted Lists"
to see the actual names of the corresponding Wanted Lists.
7. a) In a shop, it would be cool to have a "Max" button on the right
hand side of the "Add to cart QTY" field, to directly fill the field with
the max quantity available in the shop. I know there is the "Min/Max" feature
at the top of the page, but they apply to all fields in the page, not part by
part.
b) By the way, it will not apply to other pages of the search, which is a pitty,
because we need to move from page to page in the search to do the operation as
many times as there are pages.
8. + and - buttons are way too small in the QTY fields. They are also
too close one from each other, so you can easily erroneously click on the wrong
one. Maybe if possible, make the buttons bigger, and put one on the right of
the cell, and one on the left, for instance.
9. Tab key should go to the next identical field in the page. For instance,
if my cursor is in the HAVE QTY field of a part, typing Tab should send me to
the HAVE QTY field of the next part in the list.
10. In the Wanted Lists, I would like to be able to "lock" the "Want" fields,
so that I cannot erroneously modify them while I modify the "Have" field just
below. Maybe a simple tickbox in the preferences of the Wanted List to protect
this field would be great.
11. It would be great to be able to present the parts in a "mosaic" view,
like what ReBrickable does. This would be convenient to print in a condense way
the list of parts we are looking for, and maybe keep it with us while going to
the Pick-a-Brick Wall in a Lego shop, for instance.
12. Export functions could be improved:
a) put the full name of the parts with its color name in REMARK XML field, for
instance
b) allow to export all or a selection of Wanted Lists at once, adding the names
of Wanted Lists in the REMARK XML field, for instance.
c) add export functions to orders
What do you think?
Thanks in advance for your feedback.
Kind regards,
Jonathan

| Hi,
I'm using BrickLink as a Lego builder, buying regularly missing parts to
complete two dozens of sets in the form of Wanted Lists.
A great improvement to the tools provided by BrickLink web site would be to be
able to match ordered parts with my Wanted Lists.
For instance, we could imagine to list below each ordered part in an order the
same part wanted in all my Wanted Lists, with integer fields (with +/- buttons)
to allocated the ordered parts to the Wanted Lists.
Thus, once I've allocated ordered parts to my Wanted Lists, I will be able
to shop again without buying parts already ordered.
In addition, it could be even greater to make a distinction between ordered
parts allocated to Wanted Lists (not yet received) from actually received parts.
It means that for a part added to "Have" in a Wanted List, we could add a status
"ordered" or "received".
What do you think?
Thanks,
Jonathan.

shipping cost is not compatible with the USD since the fees given by the local

| This may not have been an issue previously, but due to COVID-19, I am weary of
buying from international sellers as a result of reduced flights to and from
certain countries. I say that because through no fault of the seller, 5 of my
orders have been delayed by 2 months now. I still have no idea when / if I will
receive them.
The sellers I've dealt with have all been great (even with a language barrier)
but as a purchaser moving forward, I think it would make sense to see feedback
based on geographic location.
For example, if I'm a US buyer and I want to make a purchase from a store,
I've been finding that I go to the feedback, click on the person who left
the feedback and see where they are located. Doing that is entirely manual and
cumbersome. It would be so much easier to filter the feedback from a specific
location and I can see the most recent orders and feedback from that person by
on location. If they have plenty of US buyers, I can make an educated decision
about parcels still being shipped and reliability of those orders making it to
their destination.
Maybe others won't find that helpful, but as someone from the US that has
not received 5 of their orders, seems like a great way to find feedback from
others in my same area to make me feel more confident in buying from overseas
sellers.
Even after COVID - I think that feature makes a lot of sense.

| My wanted list is "foldered" into sets, Minifigs, and parts among other things.
I have some families in there that deserve their own folder but that I still
want under their respective set, Minifig, or part umbrellas. I really think there
should be a way to create a folder within a folder which would further categorize
items and make it much easier to organize and buy.
I would also like to see:
- The ability to move entire folders instead of their contents
- The ability to rename the default wanted list and give it a more appropriate
name for whatever's inside (It's empty for me and is a waste of space
as a result)
Why not continue it to be more layered and intuitive? Not that it isn't already,
I especially love the "Buy All" feature which saves me from an otherwise insufferable
hunt for stores that fulfill my list. These are just things I think would help
make it even more user-friendly.

Many sellers follow their own protocols when processing orders, and orders that

| I expect you have heard about the inaccuracies of part lists before.
Since bricklink is now part of Lego, perhaps the bricklink part lists for sets
cold be compared with the Lego lists and corrected as necessary. I expect most
of this could be done with a computer program although it would be nice if one
could get accurate part lists for all those really old sets that one can find
in a friend's great grandfather's attic.
Thank you.

| There is an app online called "Set Finder" (http://www.spoofdata.com/setfinder/?id1=6144805)
which allows the user to enter the part number for several parts then the app
will suggest sets that contain those parts. It is not very user friendly and
part numbers are difficult to determine. The part numbers need to be complete
with colour code (sensible for logically reducing the number of possible sets)
but the numbering systems are not very well explained. In addition there are
different numbers for similar parts e.g. "2 x 4 Brick Red" has at least two different
numbers. I think there is an overlap between parts in older sets that have a
different number than newer sets but it can be quite frustrating.
Perhaps this is a function in bricklink which I have not yet discovered. I rarely
Use "Part Out" so perhaps it is there or if not perhaps that would be a good
place to add the "Set Finder " function.
Thank you.

| Hi,
According to BL's TOS you must be of legal age or 18 at least to register.
That is completely understandable from the buying/selling point of view.
But what about a junior account without the privileges to buy or sell?
Kids could browse the catalog, make wanted lists - maybe "publish" them or somehow
share them with "proper" users (e.g. parents) and get used to the platform.
This would lead younger users to BL without being "illegal" and without the chance
to make "bogus" orders or other interference with the "business" on this site.
Just an idea as my daughter is building a lot of stuff in Studio and would like
to create her own wanted lists in BL and is generally interested in this site.

are faced with an issue of finding a partially built set they cannot identify.
To that end, it would be amazing if there was a search available where you could
pick say, 10 or more pieces (would likely pick the least common pieces you
see on it) and enter those and have the results display only the sets that contain
all of those pieces.
Right now, I am sitting on a large number of partial sets and while some are
much easier than others to identify, others are just impossible.
This would be a massive help!

|
| Personally I don’t think we should lose the term minifigure because it’s very
key to how we and Lego describe the majority of their figures and at the moment
there are talks about Minfigs category being changed to ‘Figure’ and possibly
including everything from Lotso Bear to Baby Groot
I did discuss a solution here:-
https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1192727
but I think it may have become a bit lost in the rest of the debate but I would
be interested in others thoughts on this or whether the term minifigure is even
still important or what minifigure should refer to going forward?
Here is my original suggestion:-
“On the subject of categorizing figures in general I think breaking down some
of this stuff might make more sense than renaming Minifigs to Figures and then
piling everything into the same place.
It’s a difficult one but I guess you have to start with defining a minifigure
and at the moment I can only think of two ways of doing this where by you define
it by Size after all a clue is in the word MINIfigure which does unfortunately
leave a lot of ambiguity or better still you define minifig by the fact it usesa
Torso Assembly?
Torso Assembly may be a good clear cut way of defining a minifig because almost
all traditional minifigs from a Dementor to a Lord Garmadon use the all-important
standard Torso design that holds a minifig together and its probably the one
key part that really defines what a minifigure looks like when we think of a
minifigure and with that in mind you could categorise as Follows:-
Minifigure – Anything that uses the Standard Torso Assembly design
Modified Figure – Anything from droids, to brick built Droids, to Skeletons and
stuff like Gollum, Slimer, Unikitty, Scurrier, Scooby etc..
Microfigure – Anything very small consisting of a single or maximum of two parts
such as Baby, Baby Yoda, Palpatine Hologram, Baby Groot, Trophy figures and all
those game figures etc..
You are then left with things like Cave Troll, Big Hulk etc. which can either
go under ‘Modified Figure’ or a separate ‘Large Figure’ Category?
Likewise are animals/creatures separated so that Polar bears, Wargs and Horses
go under ‘Modified Figure’ and stuff like baby dinos, spiders and snakes under
‘Microfigure’ or do they have their own ‘Animal category’?
Lots to think about....”

have the Viewpoint move towards where the Mouse is located as you Zoom In or
Zoom Out (using the mouse roller for example.)
Panning the screen does not work very well for me (my mouse roller button is
twitchy) which makes me have to Pan the screen using 2 hands. There may be a
good CAD reason Not to do this, but if you could move the mouse over an area
and have zooming in and out zero in on the location of the mouse, having that
preference I think that would be handy. Basically Mimic the way the big online
Map programs work.

First, when I open one of my Wanted Lists, it Always defaults to 25 items per
page. Most of my Wanted Lists are larger than that and I have to Change the
default size every time (so that I can see everything on 1 screen). With internet
speeds the way they are today, 100 items pop up quickly. I would like to see
the number of items per page be an option that is remembered. (In fact, in general
I would like to see number of items per page be a preference saved across Bricklink.)
Secondly, along these lines, I would like to see a few more preferences saved
when I select a part. Specifically, a lot of times I have to click "More Options"
and I always have to select "Seller Location". I would like to see both of those
as saved options so I don't have to select them every time I bring up a new
part.
Thanks for your consideration!

| At least once each day, I have a buyer who either places a second order and pays
for shipping a second time or emails about needing to make an addition to their
paid order.
I'd like to suggest a new feature be worked into the checkout process. If
a buyer places an order in a store which they currently have another order that
is not in the Packed, Shipped, Received, or Completed status, the orders either
be combined or flagged in some way to alert the seller. If would also be helpful
if the checkout of the second order took into consideration any postage already
paid on the first order.
I keep my domestic shipping simple. Spend up to $50, pay $5 postage. Spend $50-$100,
pay $10 postage. Spend over $100, get free shipping. On a system like mine, it
would be very easy to recognize if the buyer needs to pay more in postage, has
already paid enough, or would potentially get a discount back from postage already
paid.
The buyer shouldn't have to do any extra work if they want to order more
from a store that hasn't yet shipped their order. And I'm getting a little
tired of issuing duplicate postage refunds and checking to see if a buyer has
another order. What may be a few hours later for a buyer could be another page
for the seller.

|
| I'm relatively new here, but I have about 10 purchase orders completed and
on-the-go right now. I'm not finding Bricklink overly intuitive to be honest
but I haven't goofed since my first order.
So I understand committing to a purchase. As soon as I place an order I take
the seller's item off the market which means a potential lost sale (or more
likely a delayed sale) if I don't follow through.
However, as a buyer, I now find myself in a position where I've committed
to purchase something from a non-responding seller. It has been a week and I
haven't heard a single response. The store's terms do not mention anything
about possible slow response times. I'll consider this my second goof because
I didn't pay attention to the fact that the store also had no selling history
(only purchase history). Fine.
So now I can post an NRS in an attempt to cancel my order -- but now my understanding
is that I have to wait another 2 weeks for it to be truly cancelled! There is
a really good chance that I'll miss out on picking up this item at a reasonable
price from another store during that time. If the seller doesn't come through,
I might now have to spend a lot more to get this item. On the other hand, if
I choose to buy from someone else the original seller could come in at the 11th-hour
and still ding me as a non-paying buyer (at least that's my assumption on
how this works). Right now, I'm thinking I should just take that chance.
Unlike the store who has potentially limitless buyers, item availability is
*definitely* limited and prices just tend to go up over time.
Personally, I think that if a seller doesn't respond within a minimum time
(and I think a week is plenty) a buyer should be given the option to simply cancel.
Maybe it's something the store could configure so buyers can be made aware
of stores that are not managed frequently. If the seller has at least acknowledged
the buyer during that time, then perhaps different rules could apply.

| Hi there,
Maybe this idea has been launched by other people.
But I regularly come across items that are not labeled as "incomplete", therefore
at first glance you assume they are complete, but reading the description you
quickly discover the item is not complete (i.e. "missing minifigs and weapons,
otherwise complete"). Which I would argue, is clearly a case of *not complete*.
As a user I would like 1) to be able to quickly filter these offerings out, but
of course this all depends on the seller correctly labeling his offering, and
therefore 2) I would like a quick option to flag such items.
Frankly, I think it's pretty unacceptable to have sellers keep labeling their
items as "complete" when clearly they are not. This is just a sneaky way to mislead
people, or in the "least worst" case, a way to make your item pop up on top of
a search query when really, it shouldn't be there. I don't want to see
your incomplete items when I am searching for complete ones.
N.B. Of course I read descriptions before I read them. But this becomes increadibly
tedious when you are searching for multiple items. And frankly, this shouldn't
be necessary to check for completeness since there is a filter for that, and
it kinda bugs me that sellers are trying to circumvent this system.
Is there a way to fix this that I am missing? Or could something be implemented.
Greetings,

|
| The topic of Neutral feedback and how they are seen as minor negatives comes
up
quite a lot and although I’m sure this idea may not go down well with some....
I think one interesting concept could be to make it so that after 3 months any
feedback
that has not been left automatically turns into a Neutral which would probably
mean about 30% of any sellers feedback will no doubt be made up of Neutrals which
might then make leaving a manual Neutral seem less Negative and more acceptable
for a buyer to submit and for a seller to receive?
A seller could say why should I have to accept receiving Neutrals just because
a buyer couldn’t be bothered to leave feedback but firstly you have to remember
that the same situation will occur for everyone so that shouldn’t matter too
much especially if Neutral is more commonly expected however my theory is that
those customers that are particularly happy with their order be that because
it shipped quickly, well packaged, great parts, no fees, reasonable shipping
cost etc, etc.. are much more likely to WANT to let the seller know its arrived
and they are very happy with everything.
If a customer is left pondering because they are disgruntled about a couple of
things they may then be more inclined to leave Neutral or let it turn to a Neutral
automatically rather than leaving the usual somewhat less than deserved Positive
rating!
My other theory is that you may actually get more people choosing to leave feedback
in the first place because they may not want the seller to receive an automated
Neutral from them but on the other hand this option allows those buyers that
don’t want to leave feedback for a seller who delivered a less than perfect transaction
the option to allow it to just turn to a Neutral.
If you think about it every transaction would be destined to become a Neutral
feedback and only those that specifically choose to give Positive or Negative
will change that eventuality which would probably make more sense?
Therefore two sellers with 100 feedback instead of looking almost identical may
end up looking very different based on their overall performance:-
Seller A:- 70 Positive, 30 Neutral, 0 Negative
Seller B:- 55 Positive, 45 Neutral, 0 Negative
Or at least that’s the theory if you go by the law of averages when it comes
to those that don’t leave any feedback and then add to that all those who had
previously been holding back with giving sellers a Neutral rating!

a item of unknown color. When you chose "not applicable" in the wanted list
it looks like it shows all colors. Instead of using the wording "not applicable"
in the wanted list use the wording of all colors??? But then how would you chose
all colors for the wanted list? Thank You. How can you easily chose more than
1 color instead of what is now an separate entry on the wanted list.

| Please don't blame me for bringing up the following suggestion, it might
be a sensitive issue. I don't know if this suggestion has been done before.
I am one of the dealers (both buying asnd selling requently) very slow or even
not giving feedback. The problem is lack of time. We used to give FB once a month
and it took me 1-2 hours. I know, feedback is important and yes, I should give
feedback.But I simply have a lack of time. It looks something done very quickly-
but with many orders it adds up. And there is allways soo much else to do. I
know, I am sorry...
I am mild in my feedbacks as a frequent buyer and seller and 99% are positive.I
give my feedbacks in batch and I paste-copy the comment.
So my proposal is as follows: Most buyers and sellers are mild as well and giving
neutral or negative feedbacks will be done immediately. So most feedbacks will
be positive and have the same message.
Wouldn't it be an idea to have the possibility for AUTOMATIC feedback after
say 2/3 weeks (that can be turned on/off) being 'positive' and a fixed
message? (that can be set by the member)
Of course with the possibility to give 'manual' feedback in those cases
it is required. So only filling in the 'gaps'
And if this goes too far: won't it a good idea to have the possibility to
add a fixed comment in making batch positive feedbacks? It is quite dull work
to copy-paste the same comment 300 times. It would make it at least 65% faster.
For those now spending hours giving all the same FB's it will be a relief
and for those now not giving FB's (including me) it will take away feeling
guilty about this.
For buyers and sellers often not getting the FB's they want it will also
be a great.
And in general it will give a better picture of the proportions. Neutral and
negative feedbacks will allways be given. Getting all the positive feedbacks
will bring a better balance in the FB rate.

| Dear BrickLink,
Considering the worldwide situation, the financial measures already started in
many countries (including the USA and the EU) and the financial measured not
yet taken, and the obvious consequences of all these (like inflation, devaluation,
and total financial and fiducial chaos), I’d like to strongly suggest BrickLink
add two new, but actually quite ancient, (mostly) universal, and staple currencies:
TP (Toilet Paper) and PST (Pasta).
Thank you,

|
| I have a setting / feature request:
I recently made a mistake by not checking the condition of a list of bricks imported
into a wanted list. Only after I placed the order, I noticed I ordered a load
of "Used" bricks, where my intention was to only buy new parts.
That's what I get for shopping late on a sunday night...
However, that made me think that it might be helpful to have a setting that defines
the default "condition" of bricks you're adding to your wanted lists. I'm
generally not interested in "Used" parts unless there's nothing else available.
So, the places the setting could apply would be:
- "Add to Wanted List" popup on a brick's page.
- "Items For Sale" tab on a brick's page.
- "Add items" popup on a wanted list.
- Wanted list import pages.
(Lucky for me, the shops were very helpful in fixing the orders )

| As far as I can see, IC looks to have been setup in 2017 with little to no additional
updates having been made to it. I have e-mailed Help Desk a couple of months
ago with no response, so just posting here in the forum to hopefully gain a bit
more visibility (and perhaps other buyers/sellers from Canada could add onto
this):
-Provincial sales tax; Canadian sellers who must collect provincial sales tax
may not enable IC at all for domestic orders. This is one of the most basic requirements
which is preventing myself (and others) to move fully to IC. This primarily impacts
the higher volume stores.
-Zone-based shipping for Canada Post; as far as I know, only USPS has a built-in
API at the moment. Due to the granularity of Canada Post, this would be of huge
assistance, or at least let us create zones by Province or Postal Codes and we
can manually set up pricing based on that information. Canada is a vast country
and this impacts pricing.
Thank-you for your consideration

|
| I think BrickLink has a broken order process now due to the ever changing online
buying experience. For me I have seen an influx of buyers since the LEGO takeover
of BL, most new, but many clearly aware of the site though having limited use
of it in the past.
These buyers are often of the mindset that they are the ones calling the shots
on cancellations, payment time frames, etc. all while having no regard for the
BL or my store terms regarding such. Anything from unilateral ability to
cancel, expectations of free shipping, allowance to pay 10-days after ordering,
etc. and just the general "buyer rules" attitude that other selling sites (need
I name them?) have allowed buyers to abuse sellers with. These other sites have
taken some steps to protect sellers and buyer alike, but BL has fallen behind
the times.
Granted, these buyers are often new to BL which has a major learning curve, but
when you sell the exact same item 3 times in one week, and all 3 buyers want
to cancel after accurate shipping is invoiced for, it gets annoying. Why not
ask for a quote? And why only ask to cancel after days of the invoice being
sent? This and the increase in NPB buyers tying up stock have left me convinced
payment time-frame allowances need to be changed. The following is my view of
the changes this site needs to consider to move forward in a all-parties friendly
way:
Suggested Changes
1a: NPB should be changed to allowable to be filed 3-days from invoice (not
the order date). This would be similar to other online selling sites. Not
auto-started, but optional so situations and agreements allowing additions, extended
payment, etc. can all still run as before.
1b: NPB should be allowed to complete after 7-days from the invoice date (4
days of being opened). 14 days (21 if buyer responds) is a ludicrous amount
of time to send payment or tie up a sellers stock. 7-days is actually really
long, but much better than 14-21.
Most all decent buyers pay well before 3-days, and a NPB started is simply a
reminder to pay as it cannot be completed unless the buyer fails to ever pay.
So I can only see this as a positive change making bad situations end sooner
than later and keeping stock available on the marketplace.
2: Additionally I would suggest that a feature be added to protect sellers
WHILE allowing unconditional buyer requested cancellations. However, if
a cancellation is buyer requested the buyer should not be allowed to leave a
review (or an auto-positive given by default), and they should by default be
given a feedback showing an "Order Was Canceled By Buyer" message with a neutral
rating by default. Like an NPB's three-times-and-you're-out policy,
the buyer cancel option should be limited to 2, maybe 3 in a 6-month period,
or something reasonable. This allows buyers a true out when needed, and protects
the seller who after a customer gets pushy or rude the ability to safely allow
cancellation (when the buyer initiates) without needing the NPB and now current
2-3 weeks to prevent an unwarranted negative feedback. As is the system turns
good sellers into captive sellers, needing a NPB to save them from nightmare
feedback, but at the extremely high cost of wasted time and tying up their items
for weeks. No buyer needs 7, 14 or 21 days to pay and should not be granted
an ability to push payment back this far.
The current system for cancellations and NPB simply needs reformed. Buyers need
to be able to cancel in select situations such as a pushy seller trying to gouge
them on handling/shipping or holding the order hostage refusing to cancel, a
threat of pay or get an NPB. Sellers likewise need protection from the long
tied up inventory, or negative despite granting buyer an unwarranted cancellation.
The above should reduce 90% of all problem orders to being resolved in days,
not weeks, and all parties moving on largely unaffected. Bad sellers and buyers
will still get weeded out, and good ones will thrive.
Thanks for considering,
Jonathan

|
| Hi all!
Sorry for my bad english, but this idea I really want to share with you
I think that Bricklink need functionality for sellers to offer Promocode additionaly
to coupons.
Coupons can be used just by registered users and mostly work with returned buyers
But promocode functionality is a reason for seller to grow up his social network
auditory and could help to bring more new users to bricklink.
I think it should work this way:
Seller can set up many promocodes at the settings.
He can chose the % or fixed ammount for each promocode.
He can set up it same way as coupon (for parts or sets / new or used / additionaly
to current discounts or not / how long it will work for buyers (should be possible
to set up permanent promocode))
On the forum should be special Topic for promocodes. It will work instead of
forum messages like "coupon for each who write me here"
Promocodes are realy good working strategy for social marketing and also can
be added to the bussiness cards or to the store page or many other places.
How do you think about it?

The submission form could include the basic coupon parameters and then have some
way of selecting the members that will receive the coupon. This could be filtering
options such as everybody over x number of orders, or it could be a text box
where the usernames could be copied and pasted in bulk.

|
| Hi there,
Do you think a feature will be added in which when you part out a set you can
add in how much the set cost and then the system would calculate how much was
paid per piece? It's a pain adding it in individually especially when you
have over 300 items! It would be nice if a feature like this also worked out
how much each part cost based on how much they sell for (depending on if you
picked current average/6 month average etc). For example if you bought a set
for $20 and it had 4 parts equally the cost would be $5, however if two of the
parts average was $10 each and the other two were $1 each having a cost of $5
for each part wouldn't make sense. Having to work that out for each part
by hand is just way too time consuming, but if the system did it on part out
entry it would be awesome.

attract business to Bricklink from eBay and Craigslist and various other platforms.
We could make a feature where one item could be casually sold without becoming
a store, offered on the forum or some other way, and the sale could be official
and register for fees and everything. Buyer would know it was different from
buying from an established store, but it would make it easier for someone who
just wanted to sell 3 sets from their childhood or just wanted to get rid of
a box of their children's used Lego. Right now someone just has to tell
someone in the forum that they'll have to make a store and I expect 98 times
out of 100, they shrug their shoulders and go to eBay or Craigslist.

|
| To prevent accidental deletion of inventory or restore of store's inventory
for various reasons like accidental deletions, price changes, etc. Currently
changes cannot be undone and a self administered restore function would be beneficial.
Requiring administrative assistance in restoring one's inventory is inconvenient
on both the seller and the BL team.
Remedy Option 1
To prevent strain on the infrastructure of constant periodic backups of everyone's
inventory, the backup would only initiate when a user enters their store's
inventory page, and limited to certain time intervals (once a day, once per hour,
or whatever the system can handle). The seller would have the option of self
initiate backup as needed.
Remedy Option 2
If the infrastructure cannot handle backups on their own system, perhaps Bricklink
can prompt user with an option to download inventory prior to deletion or major
changes being done to it, and self administer restore function.
Remedy Option 3
At the least, the system should require a re-login to the account when inventory
deletion function is selected to prevent accidental deletion of the store's
inventory.
The above options are no mutually exclusive and can be implemented in tandem
depending on what Bricklink system/team can implement.

| We allow payment both onsite and offsite.
The issue is that offsite payments require the buyers to check the 'red'
paid box.
some buyers (specially new ones) mistakenly take this to mean that their offsite
payment didn't go through and re-submit payment for the second time (sometimes
even after the order was shipped) which creates more work to refund and with
the new paypal policy might also cost sellers extra fees.
It would be great if seller can manually check this paid box and switch it to
green in order to avoid this misunderstanding. i know we can mark the order paid
and shipped but a buyer yesterday in one of many examples wanted to make sure
they paid because they saw the box was red and ended up paying for the second
time.

We are all aware of the new Community Expert program that has been introduced
aimed at the technical side of the site e.g. catalogue, inventories etc.
How about adding to that group with a community advisory panel, whose members
could help with the usability testing of new features as well as offering advice
on both direction and functionality for the site.
These would also be volunteers and a method for rotation could be put in place
to ensure no one individual dominated that side.
You could even have regional representation say USA, UK, Europe (or Germany,
France Netherlands, etc). This would help enormously on the variations that are
both desirable and needed for the site, as well as the legal requirements, postal
systems, etc.
It would, of course also help communications and community spirit.

If we could filter a single state, and sort by best price, BAM !! Instant parts
just about.
The current option kind of sucks... Go to the main sellers list, open every
store in your state in a new tab, and search every store for the parts you want.
WAY to slow !!

| There should be an option to confirm that you really want to send a mass email
for wanted list notification.
I accidently hit the button after uploading new stock.
I was hoping that there would be another screen/button asking if I really wanted
to send this email. I take these emails as "spam" and I really didn't like
that I was the perpetrator.

| Hello,
I was wondering if a feature or timer, to see whether a BrickLink
member is active or has been active (like on FB messenger or WhatsApp), would
be a great idea.
The reason why I'm wondering:
I'm sure there are members who logs in daily to see if another
member has reacted to their order('s invoice)/message, and are nervously
waiting until he/she/they react(s).
It will also be handy to see if a member (who placed an order on your store)
is active on BL and isn't responding to your multiple messages (or just ignoring),
and easier to decide to cancel an order.
For example (my example):
There is a member (USA) who has placed an order on my store (Belgium) a few days
ago. I instantly filled in and sent the invoice to serve him and be able to send
the parcel (after payment) as quickly as possible. But until now, two days later,
he hasn't read the message nor has paid for the order. Now I'm just wondering
if he was active or not lately... cause the hole situation is making me nervous.
I know I should be patient... but I find it kind of weird he responded very quickly
to my last call for buying, and afterwards not responding anymore.
So if you recognize yourself in such a situation, maybe vote 'YES' and
perhaps selling on BL will be more pleasant and more serious. I'm sure there
is a lot of members thinking this way, isn't it?
Kindly greetings,
Yapke

| From 1/1-2020 it is no longer possible to ship goods internationally in a letter
by PostNL. There has been a lot about this in this forum.
Professional dealers can still ship at a special rate using the online system.
But this online system requires filling in fields ´very strictly´ so street,
number, extra number, region, city, postcode.
We used to copypaste BL adresses, annd expected the local post to make the right
interpretation. But this is no longer possible.
Especially Asian adresses (S.Korea,Taiwan,Japan, China, Hong Kong) now gives
some questions, because it is not allways clear ´what is what´. Japanese addresses
come in the opposite order, sometimes there is as name or number, appartment
names and numbers that can be mixed up with a streetname, and there is the problem
that numbers come before streetnames on the label- streetnumbers are printed
AFTER the streetname. In many adresses it looks that things are mentioned twice,
but possible name of city and region are the same.
More postal administrations will adopt this new system thatis required by UPU,
(countries like USA will no longer accept and may even destroy shipments without
'prior notice of content', that's what postNL tells us) so this problem
would grow in the future.
In fact this requires a new way to display adresses ( "WITH LABEL") on brickink
to avoid `wrong` or incomplete adresses to be used.
Even more important because the lines on this label is limited and unneccesary
information pushes out important information from the line.

| With regards to the below part of the announcement Lego says they will update
the FAQ with our ‘MOST’ top-of-mind questions does that mean those questions
that get asked the most will more likely get answered? and in which case if I
have the same question as what someone else has already asked should I just +1
it or would that cause more confusion?
I would assume that all the main questions will remain on the far left and easy
for Lego to spot in fact any staggered +1’s underneath it should actually indicate
to Lego that several people are showing an interest in the same question but
at the same time I don’t know if it’s a good idea or not? Only repeating the
same questions again would seem even more confusing? Any thoughts?
“Please do add your questions in the thread below*. We will update the LEGO FAQ
on an ongoing basis with your most top-of-mind questions, until the closing of
the AMA on 31st January 2020 at 9AM EST.”

| As I go through updating my postage for the USPS rate increase in effect on Monday,
I'm reminded that we still don't have the ability to use zone pricing
based on zip codes for shipping. We all use the same zone groupings, so we would
just need a chart set up like we do for international shipping, but with the
9 zone fields. I end up overcharging and giving refunds if the amount is excessive.
Thanks,
Romy

| Admin,
Please implement 2FA or some other additional login security to BrickLink account.
2FA = 2-Factor-Authentication
It could help prevent hacking or stealing of accounts and account & inventory
information.
Of course this could be set as optional on the account.
Thank you.
