Hello,

I came accross some old images of how a message alert looks like on https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=125.
But since BrickLink doesn't look like that anymore, my suggestion is to update
the pictures. It is (or at least sounds) very simple and turns these useless
images into helpful ones. Maybe there are other images (or even texts) that ask
for an update too, but I only came accross this one.

Regards,

Anthony.

Can we please add Chrome Red to the catalog? It's the only Chrome color missing.

Thanks, Bret

In 13 years on the site I do not believe much as been implemmented that has been
suggested but here is another one to ponder.

Several times a year there are problems on the site regarding e-mails being sent
out. That pertains to either notifies, order notifications, etc. Most recently
there is a problem again with notifies. With orders you can simply check your
order detail page and see if there is something new on there. But with notifies
if you do not receive an email you have nothing. No idea whether the messages
went out nor to how many buyers. And even more importantly you cannot re-do it.
Opportunity lost for both your store and of course, Bricklink. Quite a dilemma
really as apart from your store page (And that is more than limited for this
day and age)there is no other marketing tool available to sellers.

What if the following were implemented

Create a notify log similar to the part out log (which is pretty underwhelming,
but at least it is something).

The notifies log could be created using a query on the SQL transaction log and
it could look something like this in the first instance:

Date No Lots (uniques) No Notifies Status
20/03/2021 333 1257 Success
21/03/2021 158 754 Success


This might take a non-sql person an hour or so to write the code but it would
be worth its weight in gold to sellers. The no of notifies could be a link to
the calendar file which shows the uniques listed and the status, provided it
shows success at least lets you know they were sent out.

Any thoughts?

Hi,

I've seen a bad situation where BrickLink can told to use a particular shipping
method but the parts does not fit with the method, because on the restriction
on the dimensions. The problem is due to the absence of dimensions of one part
in the catalog.

In the Inventory page, I am able to list all items missing the weight in the
catalog. It would be great to have an identical filter to identify items without
dimensions.

Regards,

porchy

One thing I would find VERY useful would be the ability to pick a selection of
part and then see what colours they have in common.

I do a lot of MOC's in Studio before I build them in the real. A lot of
times I just want to a colour change but many parts are not available in all
colours. If I could choose the parts I want to check and then see which colours
they all have in common it would save a ton of time. I doubt I'm the only
one who would find this useful.

You already have all the data in your system, it wouldn't be that hard to
code that option.

Is it possible to have the box automatically pick add to stockroom when you use
the drop down menu to pick which stockroom you want to put part in. Right now,
if i pick "B" in the drop down menu, I have to make a second click to add it
to stockroom B even after I pick "B."

Thanks,
Michael

As a new seller I think it would be nice to have a dedicated forum category where
you can ask people to test your store setup when you first open so they can catch
any issues and provide feedback to ease a new seller into their first few days
of opening.

Constraction series parts (Bionicle, HF, SW buildable figures, Slizer, Chima
buildable figures, Ben 10) has really messy categorisation. ATM, there are 4
categories that contain parts from that series, and the way this categorisation
is done isn't best. First and most obvious thing - "Large Figure Torso Armor
2 Chest Holes" (id 90652), which falls off the whole system (mostly, part is
categorised depending on which series presented it first - HF for HF, Bionicle
for Bionicle, Technic for Slizer and Large Figure for any other), being presented
as HF part it's treated as Large Figure one.

But things don't end there. IMO, the way constraction parts are categorised
is really off for Bricklink. What I suggest? We should have 2 categories which
will contain constraction elements: Bionicle-ish ones (parts before 2011), and
CCBS one (constraction parts from 2011 and latter ones), and maybe keep some
ones like socket parts in Technic, but I'm unsure about that. Also maybe
Ben 10 parts should stay in Large Figures, this one is fine to me. This will
suit Bricklink way better than what we have today, IMO.

P.S. If we need to keep things close to what we have today for any reason (having
parts categories based on figure series), I still suggest moving all CCBS to
one single category, their usage is really wide, we can't say about most
of them that it's HF-only part, and part "Technic, Ball Joint 2 x 7 with
2 Ball Joint" (id 32173) should be moved to Bionicle - despite appearing for
first time Slizer, it's too confusing that this part is separated from all
other Bionicle-like parts.

It would be helpful if Admin would send out a notification when they change an
item number.
How frustrating is it to look for a part in my inventory only to find the number
has been changed.
If a notice is sent out for items marked for deletion, why can't it be done
for changes.

Bricklink is missing lots of colors, and says that parts produced in that colors
have some different ones. Also, Trans-Medium Blue is treated as non-neon color,
which is big mistake. Trans-Medium Blue IS Neon color, and I want such issues
to be fixed

If you have multiple wishlists, some older, some newer, some ordered, some not,
it may be difficult to remember what you still need to order. So I'd suggest
a checkbox or something inside a wishlist to mark a whole list or individual
parts as "ordered". They wouldn't appear in your wanted part listing, so
you'd see what parts you're actually still missing.

Price Guide lots that are part of a super lot have (S) next to the quantity.
Lots with a bulk quantity have (xNN) where NN is the bulk quantity.

Please add (tNN) when a lot has a tier discount. "t" for tier and the number
NN is the smallest quantity tier offered for that lot. For example: if a seller's
lot has tiers of 100 and 500 then show (t100)

Having just (T) or (t) in the price guide would be better than nothing.

Thoughts anyone? If a lot has both tier and bulk how about (x,t) with no quantity?

We have the option to exclude incomplete sets from searches but I'm coming
across a lot of instructions entries that are missing parts and I'd like
to filter them out as I'm looking for complete ones.

I'm not suggesting disallowing individual parts as people may need them to
complete a set.

Just an idea I’m putting out there for future consideration because with colour
abbreviations it can give you useful options for catalog use/navigation!

For starters I glanced at all the different colours and it didn’t appear to be
too difficult to give each colour a suitable 3 Letter abbreviation though it
goes without saying that a few colours may be forced to have a 4 letter abbreviation
but they will likely be just a very few obscure colours such as Very Light Bluish
Grey (VLBG) or Trans Light Bright Green (TLBG) but even if it became problematic
some colours may not even benefit as much from the need to have an abbreviation
compared to the more widely and commonly used colours

Either way here are just a few quick abbreviation examples:-

Black – BLK
White – WHT
Reddish Brown – RBR
Dark Brown – DBR
Light Bluish Grey – LBG
Dark Bluish Grey – DBG
Dark Grey – DGR
Red – RED
Blue – BLU
Dark Blue – DBL
Green – GRN
Olive Green – OGN
Tan – TAN
Dark Tan – DTN
Orange – ORG
Dark Orange – DOR
Yellow – YEL

It’s also worth mentioning that the idea would be to have these abbreviations
on display wherever we see colour descriptions which is pretty much anywhere
in the catalog and so if we had abbreviations like this I don’t think it would
take long for people to memorize them and put them to good use so that instead
of searching for ‘Dark Tan hair’ they can just search ‘DTN hair’ or instead of
‘Light Bluish Gray Helmets’ they can just search ‘LBG Helmets’. The other benefit
is that where space is limited in descriptions a Torso could contain ‘RBR Belt
Buckle’ instead of ‘Reddish Brown Belt Buckle’

However once you have colour abbreviations in places their uses can be extended
in other ways too for instance if they are combined with a minifigure part to
create a unique combined colour/part reference such as Legs-DBR (Dark Brown Legs)
or Torso-GRN (Green Torso) these combos can be exclusively used to narrow down
search results for minifigures in ways where you barely need to worry about trying
to guess or work out what keywords have been used and in some cases you won’t
even need to know the name of the character!

For Example if I start with this Henry Minifigure description in its most basic
form it would look something like this:-

 
Minifig No: poc036  Name: Henry Turner
* 
poc036 (Inv) Henry Turner
Minifigures: Pirates of the Caribbean
Henry - Torso-RBR, Hair-DTN, Head-LNO, Legs-OGN

Granted it’s not the most visually pleasing of minifig descriptions and right
now you’re probably thinking it looks a confusing mess but translated it basically
reads ‘Reddish Brown Torso, Dark Tan Hair, Light Nougat Head and Olive Green
Legs

Now even before I add keywords to that description or even if it already had
keywords and I wasn’t sure what keywords to try? If I had that minifig in my
hand and I didn’t know the name of the character I will at least still be reassured
that with a simple search for some or all of those main minifig part colours
it will either bring up what I’m looking for or narrow it down considerably.

For example if I search for say both ‘Hair-DTN Legs-OGN’ that Henry minifig will
be the only minifigure match that comes up because it’s the only minifigure in
the catalog that currently includes both Dark Tan hair and Olive Green Legs.
Now even if I search for both ‘Hair-DTN Head-LNO’ I’m sure I will still only
get a very small page of matches and that’s before I’ve even attempted to narrow
down with character names Like Luke or Han or the colour/description of the torsos/legs
etc etc...

Essentially if minifigure descriptions were laid out in a format something like
this:-

Minifig Character/Type (*) - Torso/Arms-COLOUR (*), Hair/Headgear-COLOUR(*),
Head-COLOUR (*), Legs/Hips-COLOUR (*), (*Other Keywords)

where the (*) represents where keywords can be added for each core minifigure
component (as/when necessary) it would then mean a revised and more detailed
example of the Henry Minifigure might look something like this even though the
description may not need to be quite as detailed for helping to find this particular
minifig:-

Henry - Torso-RBR, Arms-WHT (Brown Waistcoat, White Tunic), Hair-DTN (Swept Back
Ponytail), Head-LNO (DS, Open Mouth Smile/Worried), Legs-OGN

Its worth mentioning that the ‘DS’ after head represents Double Sided Head (SS
= Single Sided) which would allow you to narrow down even further with just a
couple of extra letters added within search criteria

However one thing to also notice is that you can still search for specific colours
such as the ‘White’ print details found on legs or torsos such as the white tunic
without needing to worry about it bringing up core components in white as they
will only come up if you search ‘Arms-WHT’, Legs-WHT, Torso-WHT, Head-WHT, Hair-WHT
whereas searching for white alone would mean the colour can be set aside for
prints allowing you to be more specific with your overall minifig search results...

Here are a few more examples of how similar minifigs might look:-

 
Minifig No: sw0278  Name: Han Solo, Reddish Brown Legs without Holster Pattern
* 
sw0278 (Inv) Han Solo, Reddish Brown Legs without Holster Pattern
Minifigures: Star Wars: Star Wars Episode 4/5/6
Han Solo - Torso-WHT (Shirt), Hair-RBR, Head-LNO (SS, Smirk), Legs-RBR

 
Minifig No: sw0823  Name: Han Solo, Dark Brown Legs, Wavy Hair
* 
sw0823 (Inv) Han Solo, Dark Brown Legs, Wavy Hair
Minifigures: Star Wars: Star Wars Episode 4/5/6
Han Solo - Torso-WHT (Shirt), Hair-RBR (Wavy), Head-LNO (DS, Closed Eyes), Legs-DBR

 
Minifig No: sw0841  Name: Han Solo, Old
* 
sw0841 (Inv) Han Solo, Old
Minifigures: Star Wars: Star Wars Episode 7
Han Solo (Senior) - Torso-DBR (Jacket), Hair-LBG, Head-LNO (DS, Angry), Legs-BLK
(Printed Gunbelt)

 
Minifig No: sw0343  Name: Han Solo, Tan Legs with Holster Pattern, Parka Hood with Tan Fur
* 
sw0343 (Inv) Han Solo, Tan Legs with Holster Pattern, Parka Hood with Tan Fur
Minifigures: Star Wars: Star Wars Episode 4/5/6
Han Solo (Hoth) - Torso-DBL (Jacket), Headgear-DBL (Parka Hood), Head-LNO (SS,
Smirk), Hips-DBL, Legs-TAN (Printed Gunbelt)

 
Minifig No: cas115  Name: Crusader Lion - Blue Legs with Black Hips, Dark Gray Neck-Protector
* 
cas115 (Inv) Crusader Lion - Blue Legs with Black Hips, Dark Gray Neck-Protector
Minifigures: Castle: Crusaders
Knight (Crusader Lion) - Torso-Red, Arms-BLU, Headgear-DGR (Neck Protector Helmet),
Head-YEL (SS), Hips-BLK, Legs-BLU

I appreciate in might not be to everyone’s liking but it does for the most part
seem to work and I’m pretty sure I could even use it to tackle all those samey
spider-man minifigs without having to worry too much about relying on vague (Web
Pattern) keywords and focusing more on the definitive colours of Torsos, legs,
hips, arms and definitive styles such as printed/legs arms etc…

But again just some ideas for another day perhaps?

Hello community,

I probably have missed the correct option to select, but heres my problem and
suggestion anyways.

I´ve ran into trouble with instant checkout on my little store, while buyers
have items ordered, which have no dimensions listed.

Since most lego parts are lightweight, for example the letter option (20/75g)
will be used if only weight (or nothing) is , and the restriction for height
(max 5mm for a letter austrian post) does no efect.

So shipping costs for example are set to 1€ for instant checkout, but with the
real dimensions of the item costs will be like 5,60 €.

I guess you get what I mean.

Is there any option already implemented?
"Backup for instant checkout" does not solve my problem

Would it be good to add an option in the settings, if items do not have dimensions
saved, and the buyer has one or more of them in the shopping-cart when checking
out, a warning should be shown and only QUOTE will be available?


I think this would be a great addition for both sellers and buyers. I appreciate
to get the correct shipping costs before I pay myself. And not having a discussion
after, maybe resulting in a bad feedback for no reason.


Thank you in advance for any help or opinions,

Gunny

A couple of days ago I looked into some of my wanted lists to find several parts
marked as not applicable. I then went back to the catalogue entries and found
the issue. when adding an item to a wanted list before selecting a colour, the
image that shows is a coloured one, not one asking you to pick a colour. People
who just take a glance are fooled by a coloured image. I think it would be worth
adding a generic image, one that says please pick a colour or something like
that. The image below shows what I mean

I'd really like the see the order total in my Wanted search results. One
store may charge $20 for the parts I need, the one next to it charges $0.20.
I could save a lot of clicking and time by knowing which stores are not worth
clicking on. Sorting by price should come with this. Thanks!

Hello,

it would be nice to have the option to create a general coupon what i can give
to customers for example what they can use the next time. At the moment there
is only the option to create a coupon directly to one user.

Whats your opinion?

If a buyer pays for an order outside of the Bricklink invoice, there's no
way to mark the order as shipped or complete. We've had several instances
of this in our store and the most we can do is mark the order as "packed". Please
expand these options.

Please move the time for the daily maintenance (and any other site updates) to
a time when BrickLink staff are available to troubleshoot and fix problems.

Since BrickLink is global, having the site down for a few minutes will always
inconvenience someone. As your tech support is not 24/7, it makes sense to make
changes to the site when someone is around to fix problems.

It would show us all that you are serious about addressing the issues around
here and that international sellers shouldn't have to bear the brunt of unexpected
errors.

Why must buyers search for items with marked down prices in a store?

Please make a specials category on the left navigation frame on top of sets which
include items on sale or any other special interest items with the lot count
next to such items as well. So that instead of all the sets a seller has to offer
being the first thing a buyer sees, have a specials and sale items category first
which can be navigated in the same manner as sets, parts or anything else (this
might make it easier to see custom items as well).

We've had this situaton happen a couple of times in the past:

A new or new-ish user to the site places and order and receives it. There is
either a part missing, something that got broken in transit or any other situation.

The user, not being used to dealing with the platform, goes to the order and
sees the 'report a problem' link. They click it, follow the instructions
and then BLAM! we have an NSS to deal with. When we explain the situation to
them they understand that they should have sent a message and they remove the
NSS but this is counterintuitive.

If someone clicks on the 'report a problem' link the system should work
differently. Example, they click the link, select that a part was missing
or whatever and then they get a popup with two choices. One is contact buyer
and sends a message, the other is create an NSS and it has something like 'I
contacted the buyer and did not receive a response for 24 hours and want to go
ahead with further escalation' or something to that effect.

This would make things easier on everyone and help educate customers better.

Last time we received such an NSS, the client removed it and said that he had
realized that he had made the mistake himself while ordering, this never should
have been escalated. NSS is a process that requires a lot more work to resolve
than simple messages.

What's the process for color selection when making the little "swatch" next
to every color in the catalog? My guess is taking a picture of a part and eyedropping
the color in Photoshop. For the less straightforward colors like trans, chrome,
speckled, etc. how do you decide what's the best representation of them as
one solid color?

Going along with that, I think it would be cool if those special colors had more
unique swatches. For example, glitter's look like regular colors, so I think
there should be little shiny dots to separate it from the solid colors. Speckled
should be speckled with their respective colors. Obviously it would be a ridiculous
priority for admins, but it would be a nice detail maybe someday.

Many times I run into the problem that the auto cart creating feature creates
unnecessary carts. It does that because that other store has the part a bit cheaper.
So it saves like 0.1 Euro. However, the extra card creates an extra 3-4 Euro
shipping cost.
Would it be possible to add the following features.

Filter not only for seller Country but to seller City/Location. This would facilitate
personal pickup to cut down on the shipping.
Also add an input field for a flat shipping cost figure. In my country, the domestic
shipping cost is about 4 Euro. If I could add that into the equation, I think
Bricklink would cut down on the needless carts and would tend create the optimal
solution with Shipping cost included.

Thank you!

When building a Wanted List if you use the part number we shouldn't have
to pick a part category.

Chose "European Union" as seller - and Great Britain sellers still came up. Shouldn't

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
number. Keep us here.

I wish there was an option to put items on sale and then round to a set number
of decimal places.

You can make sales prices the base price and it gives you an option to round
there, but I would like to see an option to round at the put items on % sale
button.

Thanks

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,
Imre

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.

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.

Hi.

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...
