Chose "European Union" as seller - and Great Britain sellers still came up. Shouldn't
that be changed now after Brexit?

I was wondering if there is any movement / thoughts towards a better website
experience on mobile /
Tablet.
I find it almost unusable and hard to believe in this day and age.

| I have a bunch of wanted lists, and I like to prioritize my lists in order to
keep track of the ones for which I am actively purchasing parts. Can you please
make it so that the organization selection of choice (in my case by "Name") stays?
Currently, when I leave wanted list and come back, the organization reverts
back to the default to arrange by "Newest". TIA!

| Hi,
I was wondering if it’s possible to let people see which country they’re from
(little flags). For instance: at the feedback page of a store. So new buyers
can see directly (flag) the feedback posts of fellow countrymen. It would be
more convincing for them to buy from other countries. And with this COVID it
will help to convince them that shipping is ok from other countries.
Just an idea

|
| My number of Wanted Lists has expanded into chaos. I'm working on a big project
and I would really appreciate sublists (or superlists) in the Wanted List section.
What I mean is basically the possibility to have a new list inside of a Wanted
List. For example a regular Wanted List containing a load of items AND another
list called "extra parts". Or a Wanted List called "castle" containing my castle
related lists. I hope you get the idea. Please make this happen!!

|
| Can we lower the NPB time from 7 days to 2 days? Giving buyers almost 2 weeks
before a NPB ticket is completed is to long. If they don't respond to Bricklink
invoices, messages or emails directly in the first 5 days they shouldn't
get another 7 days.

|
| It will be known to many that I’ve always favoured the idea of using official
Lego colour names not because I like them better or think they describe the
colours better (Many are very odd choices!) but simply because it creates less
uncertainty about what I’m selling and what the customer thinks they are buying
however I’ve made that argument already and now’s probably the time to accept
that Bricklink colour names are unlikely to match that of the Lego group!
However one thing that has always jarred me somewhat is the use of the term ‘Bluish’
to describe the greys when I’m sure if it was’nt for the need to fit around the
older existing greys already in the catalog both would have no doubt just been
given the simple description Dark/Light Grey instead of Dark/Light Bluish Grey?
The thing is the way I see it Bricklink uses its own colour names for three main
reasons:-
A) Lego never provided a colour name for them to use (at least not in the early
days!)
B) They wanted their colour names to better describe and match the actual shade
of colour!
C) They wanted their colour names to be short and to the point!
However when it comes to those last two points colours like ‘Dark Bluish Grey’
and ‘Light Bluish Grey’ both fail to meet that ideal objective compared to most
of the other colour names that have been created by Bricklink. Both descriptions
are lengthy and somewhat misleading? If anything I see more ‘Bluish Grey’ in
a colour like Sand blue than either of these two greys and when all said and
done they are basically just Light and Dark Grey?
So what does it matter and what to do?
Well because they are both what I would call very common CORE central colours
in Legos colour palette it stands to reason that we should perhaps think about
giving them the most suitably descriptive name for them (Light and Dark grey?)
after all that is what any newbie or anyone else for that matter would define
them as?
Both of these colours are ‘very current’ where as the discontinued greys are
not so current and therefore probably don’t warrant the need for the best descriptive
name for them any longer? In fact if we were to rename the existing Light and
Dark Grey as ‘Old Light Grey’ or ‘Classic Light Grey’ I think this would also
be very helpful to newbies when they are confronted with so many different shades
of grey?
I would also consider using the ‘Old/Classic’ tag for some other discontinued
colours too like Brown i.e ‘Old Brown’ I have less problem with Reddish brown
remaining as that is at least what Lego themselves call it but ‘bluish’ is a
made up bricklink term that has little relevance to the actual colour nor does
Lego use the term? Lego may have added more blue to the actual colour mix than
the old greys but in appearance they are simply intended to be a Light and Dark
Grey in a new and current form hence I feel we should refer to them as such?
Also wherever we use the term ‘Very Light’ can I suggest using the term ‘Pale’.
i.e ‘Pale Grey’ instead of ‘Very Light Bluish Grey’ as shorter names are much
easier for people to read off the site and to label/Inventory their stocks even
if that does mean some initial disruption?
Lastly shouldn’t we at least try and mirror Lego’s reference to Grey and use
‘Grey’ instead of ‘Gray’ in the descriptions?
I hope others will share the same logic in what I’m trying to suggest or perhaps
I’m barking up the wrong tree? Thoughts?

| Browsing is a chore due to the very small thumbnails attached to each
set, item, etc. Please consider a listing format that can take advantage of modern
online retail listing standards. At this point, you're almost better off
browsing elsewhere (Amazon, eBay, etc), then coming here to plug in the item

You can make sales prices the base price and it gives you an option to round

|
| There is a search filter to assist in searching for pieces within a store.
One filter option is "Hide Items if Have Qty is ≥ Want Qty"
I would love to see another filter option "Hide items if asking price max price"
You are able to set max price on wanted list items, but aren't able to do
much with that once you are shopping in a store.
Thanks

| Hi
When you listing sets there is box dimensions presented as test . A x B x C cm
Is there any chance to make this as interactive ?
That I'll be able to easily find boxes in same or dimensions. Sometimes you
can buy outer box and later possibly you can but internal tray. With box dimensions
as selectable or some other way interactive maybe other users will be able to
use inner box from totally other different set to complete box what currently
missing of this.
For this moment it's totally manual process to find similar boxes

|
| Hi all,
For the second time in a week I got an order from what appears to be a scam account.
Different names and email addresses but the shipping address is the same.
The first time, the bogus feedback was removed by the admins but I was left with
the transaction costs. I guess the bogus feedback will be removed again and thankfully
this time they didn't use instant checkout so no transaction costs.
In an ideal world, I would like to be able to place the shipping address on a
stop list so that the problem is stopped at the source and I don't have to
deal with any part of it at all.
Even better, BL could maintain such a stop list and require manual verification
before buying privileges are granted again after an account is closed as bogus.
Something similar to what sellers need to do before opening a store.
For now, I've solved at least the transaction costs problem by excluding
the country from instant checkout shipping methods but I can imagine that's
not a solution for everyone, especially when such an account is domestic.
Looking forward to your thoughts,
Ant

|
| It would be a great feature to be able to update a design with a newer, improved
version. This way, you don't have to publish multiple designs that look the
same, but with only some improvements. Also, this way you can keep the comments,
views, likes, etc...
It should also be possible to calculate the difference to the original (number
of parts added, deleted, moved or changed color). This way you can check if the
new version is not too far from the original (A house can't suddenly become
a car, can't it?)

|
| Hi Bricklink,
I would like to propose a UI option for buying parts with auto-select.
Everytime I purchase my parts, I try to minimize the number of stores due to
the additional shipping fees. Therefore, it would be good to have an option to
include the estimated shipping fees per store (for example $5 per store not necessary
to be exact) so that auto-select considers the shipping cost while still minimizing
the total cost.
Regards,
ecobee

|
| Hi!
My son has several custom lego building books with a list of materials. It is
very difficult to add this list to wanted lists one by one manually.
The import function would make it much easier to order these items.
A simple import with only 2 columns: part code, quantity (csv, xls, etc.) will
be perfect for this task.
Best regards,

|
| Suggestion in regards to automatic quote cancellations:
I've never received a quote cancellation myself, but assuming it doesn't
already say so, it would be beneficial that when a quote cancellation is automatically
sent by the BrickLink system due to an item being sold out, that an automated
message to the buyer is sent out and indicating which item caused the quote cancellation
trigger.
I just received yet another message from a newer buyer asking why their quote
was cancelled and they wanted to accept it. To the buyer, it looks like sellers
are cancelling their quotes, when it's simply that a part that they ordered
is no longer available.

| Author: | bajman | | Posted: | Jan 31, 2021 18:27 | | Subject: | Wanted List percent formula error | | Viewed: | 78 times | | Topic: | Suggestions | | Status: | Open | | Vote: | [Yes|No] | |
|
| The formula for the Wanted List Percentage does not properly calculate the percentage
of "HAVE" parts compared to the "TOTAL" Parts. Should the % shown be the amount
of "Have" pieces vs the total number of "Wanted" pieces, or is it intended to
provide some other detail? It's not showing the percent of LOTS completed,
and its not showing the percent of Parts with Have qty equaling the Want qty.
The formula seems to be working is a convoluted way, combining the percentage
for Want/Have and the percentage of Lots with any Have parts, and the total number
of lots.
Example #1 to illustrate the issue:
Wanted list with TWO lots.
Lot #1, Want 100, Have 10 (This is 10% of the want value)
Lot #2, Want 900, Have 0 (This is 0% of the want value)
The Percentage bar should show 1% (10 of 1,000), but the formula produces 5%.
Example #2 to illustrate the issue:
Lot #1, Want 100, Have 0 (This is 0% of the want value)
Lot #2, Want 900, Have 900 (This is 100% of the want value)
The percentage bar should show 90% (900 of 1,000), but the formula produces 50%.
Example #3 to illustrate the issue:
Lot #1, Want 100, Have 0 (This is 0% of the want value)
Lot #2, Want 450, Have 900 (This is 50% of the want value)
The percentage bar should show 45% (450 of 1,000), but the formula produces 25%.
In all examples, the percentage shown does not equate to anything tangible, real
or useful, and if very misleading
Unfortunately, this misinformation has led to many, many lost hours and much
frustration.
Please work to correct the formula, so that the percentage bar is a real, actual,
useful representation of the data.
If by some odd situation, the bar is performing as intended, please clarify its
intended function.
Thank you,
Brandon

|
| Been getting a lot of inquiries recently from newer buyers asking about our bulk
lots that are sold in multiples of x10, x50, x100.
Was thinking that maybe the text i.e (x50) or (x100) on such bulk lots could
have a blue text with a link that explains that these lots have to be purchased
in the multiples that are inside bracketed amount and a clarification that the
price is per piece and not for a lot that contain 100 pieces (yes, we get buyers
who ask if we sell a bag of 100 pins for 2 cents per bag.)
While it seems intuitive to some of us, it might be a nice gesture toward new
users.
Obviously not a priority project.
"Here's a sample (anonymous of course) of a message we got this week:
Hello. Trying to figure out pricing on some items. For example "Black Technic,
Pin with Friction Ridges Lengthwise, Staggered, with or without Center Slots"
item 2780 it lists as QTY: 42,200 (x100) and says its a bag of 100. The price
is $0.02. If I want 150 is the quantity 150 or 2? I.e. is it 0.02 per bag or
per piece?"
Thanks for considering.

When I select "EU" as Seller-location search-filter, it still includes UK shops,
even thought they are no longer part of the EU.
I know there are suggestions and discussions before regarding VAT handling, which
I understand might be slightly more complicated to implement. But simply excluding
UK as part of the EU selection for filtering seems like a simple fix to me...

| Hi
I have just accidentally ordered a set from a seller, because it wasn't clear
that I was about to place the order.
On Amazon, there is a final page which lists the total order amount including
shipping fees. I was trying to get to the Bricklink equivalent of this page so
that I could see how much delivery would cost, but before I knew it I had an
order confirmation number and so-on.
The fact that the order was about to be placed should be made a *lot* clearer,
especially for new users such as myself.
I managed to send a cancellation request about one minute after placing the order
- let's hope the seller is ok with it 
Thanks in advance

|
| First Forum post! Be kind...
I don't know if this idea has been floated about before, but I'm a bit
of a 'wishlist basketeer', meaning I often build baskets based on what
I feel will come in useful, or what I want, and leave it to sit. I do this with
all sorts of stores to find the best pricing and shipping costs, which can, needless
to say, get quite messy.
What I do right now is have prioritised baskets in tabs, but it's not very
tidy or efficient.
I reckon it would be useful, not just to me, but to everyone, if we could arrange
our baskets in priority order; like a drag and drop list of baskets, or a rating
system or something.
What do y'all think?

Shipping rates within Canada vary depending on the destination, so a specific
shipping method would automatically generate the correct cost depending on the
buyer's location.
