removal of said feedback since as the rules stand retaliatory feedback is allowed:

Feedback you Received:
The following are currently the only valid reasons for which you can request
feedback you received to be removed:
Feedback you received contains vulgar language.
Feedback you received contains personally identifying information including your
name, address, e-mail address or telephone number.
You are the seller and the buyer has not paid. Non-Paying Buyer Alert has been
completed or the buyer has accepted the NPB penalty via NPX.
You are the buyer and the seller has not responded or shipped. Non-Responding
Seller Alert or Non-Shipping Seller Alert has been completed.
Feedback you received was posted by a duplicate account of a user who had their
membership terminated.
Feedback you received was posted by a duplicate account of a user who was on
your Stop List before the order was placed.
If you're requesting feedback to be removed for the last 2 reasons above,
you should contact the Help Desk before you submit the request and let us know
the original username of the duplicate account.
Requests can be submitted until the order is purged from the system - up to 6
months from the order date. Requests are submitted to the BrickLink Administration
for approval. If the feedback is removed, it cannot be reposted. Each request
has a status:

I understand the frustration of getting a retaliatory feedback BUT i don't
support interjecting the BL admins into disputes over feedback.
The BL team has enough to do without this added task which is not a revenue producing
nor a productive use of their time.
Having the admin being a referee between two disputing users may result in one
of those users leaving the site which will not be beneficial for the greater
good.
Retaliatory feedback is easy to spot and usually hurts the image of the user
who left it more than the user who received it.

All of them are.

are they? when a couple scam reported posts are still up most of the day after
being reported it just tells me there is not a good spread of mods to cover all
time zones.

Thank you for reporting.
There were two scam posts reported around 5 at night, in my timezone.
Both were canceled immediately after I woke up. 😉

figured it was you that removed them, in fact feels like you are the only moderator
working.

You can be assured that all active moderators are working together.
It's visible below the canceled post who canceled it.

would make Bricklink the final judge and jury of feedback. I look at seller's
feedback and the buyer's feedback if I am evaluating a seller. Some buyers
are unhappy at every little thing. Some sellers overreact to even the smallest
criticism.

yes that is why it should be an option to let the admin decide, take this recent
case into question, this buyer received negative feedback because of negative
feedback he left the seller who failed to deliver items the buyer bought and
refused to deal with the situation, the seller deserved the negative feedback,
the buyer did not and it is obviously retaliatory in nature:

https://www.bricklink.com/feedback.asp?u=sludgemonster

The retaliation came for the NSS charge. They shipped, missing item was refunded,
even PayPal wouldn't side with the buyer on this.

actually the NSS came after the negative feedback since that is evidently the
only way to remove said feedback by the rules.

How and who decides if feedback is retaliatory or not and what would be the criteria
for that?
I would agree that purely retaliatory feedback is wrong but there then becomes
an issue where there are 2 sides to a story..

Yes, they are former admins and mods. Thought it would interest you and others.

Can you imagine the level of misuse such a convenient tab would allow for?

On the other hand, I could be wrong and if all the Discussions Mods were to call
for it, or at least back the suggestion, I’d say why not.

you forgot to mention i've seen some serious spam posts like buying fake

My suggestion is to reduce that greatly. to go straight to the last part.

Yeah, I understood with this morning spam why you posted the suggestion. I connected
those dots before I posted my reply.

So my thoughts stand: have the mods endorse the suggestion. It's their wheelhouse.

other then Brickwilbo being on the fence (agrees it is complicated but not sure
how to fix it) have not heard from any other mods, in fact not sure who the other
mods are if any others?

of posts reported were still around for a long while.

mods are if any others?

Can you imagine the level of misuse such a convenient tab would allow for?

The Discussions Mods might have to give up their day jobs, considering the amount
of time it would take in filtering through the invalid to find the valid claims.

On the other hand, I could be wrong and if all the Discussions Mods were to call
for it, or at least back the suggestion, I’d say why not.

you forgot to mention i've seen some serious spam posts like buying fake

post function is not user friendly. when you have to go here:

then go here:

My suggestion is to reduce that greatly. to go straight to the last part.

Yeah, I understood with this morning spam why you posted the suggestion. I connected
those dots before I posted my reply.

So my thoughts stand: have the mods endorse the suggestion. It's their wheelhouse.

The Problem Center is below the page. Click forum, then enter the message number.

yeah but a bit redundant when you have to go thru 3 clicks just to get tot the

sorry make that 4 clicks before you get to the page where you give the post number
and reason.

Yes, it's a lot of clicks and copy/paste. Not easy on a mobile phone.

while a simple report post button on the post itself would make it so much easier


It would probably also lead to accidentally clicked reports.
I prefer a more visible button with two-step verification to report a message.

well when you have to click the button on the post then fill in the info and
click report that would be like a 2-step verification. my suggestion would be
to have the button on the post go right to the report function, avoiding all
those extra steps and such to get there. in other words the button on the post
would take you here https://www.bricklink.com/problemMessage.asp

Indeed. It's a nice tool though. (Sadly my OS isn't compatible.)

It’s Python, it should work on a Mac too.

You can also talk to the author, I’m sure he’ll be open to help you make it work.

The way i use my wanted lists, I don't want to flag a part as owned until
i get it IRL. As such i use remarks to keep track of things i have ordered and
don't have yet.

Ideally, a 3rd stat e of items on a wishlist would be added - something like
pending. However as that would be a significant back end change for the developers
of the site, i created my own tampermonkey/greasemonkey script to add links to
the my wishlist search for each given part on the order page.

So underneath the part/minifig/set image is a link to search my wishlists for
the given item in the given color. That way when i make an order i can click
through for each of the items and update just the remarks for the parts across
all wishlists.

a feature like that would be really helpful and should be fairly trivial to add
to the codebase. (particularly using server side code instead of scraping the
info needed for the links from content already on the page.

I think it would be a good function for both the re-sellers and the users that
want to simply use the inventory function.

It's possible to download orders and upload the xml file to your inventory.

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.

Yeah.. I had a call with the team recently and I urged them to do this. Luckily,
they said they were already working on it, which is great.

I do hope they'll do this very soon, it has taken a long time now. BrickOwl
has iDeal and Sofort through Stripe, and also in my webshop it was extremely
easy to implement with Stripe.

This is important for everyone, because Stripe allows you to accept foreign payment
methods without needing to know how it all works. The NL is one of the biggest
countries on Bricklink and all sellers will benefit from it if people can pay
by iDeal. IMO this is really one of the top priority issues right now. PayPal
is way too expensive and just not convenient for everybody.

It would be beneficial on Bricklink's side as well. There will be more business
so more fees, less money leaking out to PayPal, and also it will vastly increase
the percentage of payments that is done onsite - which is what Bricklink really
likes to see.

I've found a workaround.

Merge my wish lists. Then I can apply my orders on it without risking to update
the same part more than intended. (Which could happen if you apply an order on
multiple wish lists containing the same parts.)

But the merge feature doesn't allow to merge wish lists having conflicts
(same combinations of piece&color).
Though, I realised it's possible to merge them by uploading a list and add
its pieces into another one. When there is identical items, it will combine them
additionning wanted quantities together, and owned quantities together.

To merge wish list "B" into wish list "A"
1) Download list "B" (as XML)

I use another website to track my overall (loose and in sets) parts inventory;
BL is just not designed to do so efficiently.

That said, I also have maintained separate wanted lists here on BL for parts
that I've received, for a specific MOC or custom set: when the parts arrive,
I simply copy-and-paste from the want list to the "received" want list, and then
remove them from the want list. When all parts have arrived I now have a list
of them all for that custom build.

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.

Do you mean like the Domino's pizza tracker?

Does this mean that we will have like a special tool to select a certain group
of parts to see if they appear in any sets? I don't know if such feature
is already implemented.


  So we all have want lists, right?

Wouldn't it be cool to be able to take a want list and instead of looking
for stores that have all the individual parts, do a search against "sets" or
multiples of sets that have all the parts on a want list.

Everything needed to make this tool already exists on Bricklink.
Parts want list - check
Sets, parts inventory - check (the part out tool)

This function could be added to the Buy section like the distillers to get from
the fewest stores, or best price etc - add sets to buy that have all the parts.

Then a shopper could shop for complete sets to buy from sellers or determine
that they already have the sets in their own collection to build the MOC they
are shopping for pieces for.

Example: I bought the instructions for the UCS U-wing project by Mirko (Awesome
MOC by the way and beautiful instruction book)
uploaded the parts list 430 different parts 3300 pieces total.
I would love to know if I could buy 4-5 sets to get all the parts I need to build
the UCS U-wing project and the extra pieces could go in my collection. Certainly
there would be a handful of random special pieces to buy separately but it would
be cool to have the option of buying a few complete sets to get the majority
of the parts.

Just a thought and the development cost would be minimal since the hard parts
(set part inventories & want lists) already exist.

  I don't know if this will help, but you can check the box on your inventory
page to show all of the items on your wanted list in your store. (First box under
"Show More Options" on the right side of the page.

This will bring up all of the matching items, and each has a link to view the
listing in your inventory that you can edit and delete the number you need.

Still a few steps to go through, but the easiest way I've found.

Thanks! Seems to be the easiest way to go -- now that the fully automated
way isn't available :-/

You can upgrade to seller and keep your store closed.

Or keep inventory on Rebrickable.com or with Brickstock.
