First, “IBAN” is a misnomer, it’s just bank transfers, to be precise, an International
(not only EU) standard for Bank Account Numbers (i…b…a…n…!). It’s very unfortunate
that BL named this method this way, or, rather, it’s unfortunate it’s the name
under which it was publicized or at least collaquially adopted in some countries
(NL).
Even more unfortunate, this method actually covers many situations of bank transfers
but not all bank transfers: different currencies not only EUR, national or international
transfers but not “only EU” (or even “only Europpe”), and with or without fees
but with no way to know beforehand (depends on both seller’s and buyer’s banks).
I strongly believe BL should not have added this method, “bank transfers” was
sufficient, or should have given it a narrower meaning… and then, maybe, should
have created more than one.
| | From what I understand, several countries have their own preferred interfaces
for IBAN transactions. Outside Bricklink my Dutch customers pay by iDEAL and
my Belgian customers sometimes by Bancontact. As far as I know they're similar.
The cool thing about Stripe is that you can just accept these payments without
even knowing what they are, so adding these methods would be great for most on
Bricklink worldwide - the only exception being sellers outside the EU who only
sell domestically. (and of course it's great for the buyers in the countries
where these payment solutions are used)
The Dutch one is very popular here in spite of the fee. The fee is only €0.29
regardless of the amount, and even if a store/organisation/restaurant/etc would
offer both options, I'm assuming people just go for the onsite solution,
even if the seller passes on the fees to the buyer. That's what I do anyway.
It seems to me that offsite bank transfers are becoming less usual in daily life
here, with the main second hand trading site now also offering onsite payment.
It's going to be a matter of time before Bricklink (and Lego.com!) are going
to have to follow along.

In France, it’s mostly cards (with the possibility of chargeback, contrarily
to bank transfers) and I expect it will stay that way. Though, with the new
SEPA instant payment rules now in place and implemented, maybe the banks will
do something.

It is possible in theory to incorporate IBAN into an onsite solution, but apparently
it is very difficult and potentially unstable. So we consider IBAN to be offsite

The problem is that we (BrickLink) cannot pay those taxes unless the seller chooses
to use an onsite payment method. We cannot force sellers to make this choice,
so it is up to these sellers to open themselves up to the larger market.
This is why some other members in this thread are advising you to contact sellers
you wish to buy from and kindly ask if they would adopt an onsite method. It
is not a lengthy process - it takes just a few minutes for those who already
have an account.
|
What Bricklink could do is inform all sellers that since mid last year they need
an onsite payment option to sell to (almost all) US buyers.
And inform them that in case of an error when trying to send an invoice they
have to check there template.
The Brexit mail was good although nothing was really said in it, but for the
US tax changes nothing has been communicated, while given all kinds of forum
posts a lot of sellers don't know about it.
|
Yes, I think there is overwhelming evidence that many sellers did not receive
the message from BrickLink regarding how the sales tax deployment directly affected
their stores. Despite all the problems and like 900 Forum posts about it, BrickLink
prefers to do nothing to solve this problem. The broken template thing was also
a bug they never addressed. Typical.

for local or regional instant bank payments.

Oh right, Stripe does do debit/bank as well. Works fantastic on BrickOwl for
myself as well. I still get folks that like to do the Interac E-transfer method
(for Canada), so I'm not sure if they specifically support *all* debit features
natively but most.

IBAN is offsite but it can be used with instant checkout. For offsite payment

So you want them to break the law just for you? It is required for Bricklink
to collect sales tax. The sellers are the ones who haven't updated their
policies not Bricklink. Why don't you message the sellers telling them what
they need to do. Be part of the solution not part of the problem.

| Sellers (those who have enabled onsite payments) are not paying your taxes at
all, they are simply enabling BrickLink to collect and remit those taxes on their
behalf as required by law for sales in many states.

Actually, I think that browsing is much more efficient with the small thumbnails
as long as the images are good enough. Larger images would only mean a lot more

That's correct - I think 2017 was the cutoff from what I've read here

I switched to a seller account just last year and never had a choice off onsite

You are blaming the wrong people for the wrong things. Blame BrickLink for not
doing more to educate their sellers about the recent changes to the site that
directly affected their stores. Sellers received only one communication about
the tax update, and the relevant information was buried in it.
All you need to do is contact any sellers from whom you can't order, inform
them that they need to enable an onsite payment method, and direct them to the
Forum if they have any questions. You will be doing them, yourself, and lots
of fellow BrickLinkers a great service.
Also, many sellers have conflated onsite payments with Instant Checkout and have
resisted changing their stores for this reason. Instant Checkout is confusing
to implement and imperfect, so try to be understanding. Here is a handy chart
you can use if anyone needs convincing.
Good luck,
Jen

| Jen, I just got approved to sell, but have not opened yet. Where can I go to
look at this info in the forums? I am not familiar with what is being talked
about here.
I only plan to sell in US and only plan to accept paypal.
Thanks,
Michael

You are blaming the wrong people for the wrong things. Blame BrickLink for not
doing more to educate their sellers about the recent changes to the site that
directly affected their stores. Sellers received only one communication about
the tax update, and the relevant information was buried in it.
All you need to do is contact any sellers from whom you can't order, inform
them that they need to enable an onsite payment method, and direct them to the
Forum if they have any questions. You will be doing them, yourself, and lots
of fellow BrickLinkers a great service.
Also, many sellers have conflated onsite payments with Instant Checkout and have
resisted changing their stores for this reason. Instant Checkout is confusing
to implement and imperfect, so try to be understanding. Here is a handy chart
you can use if anyone needs convincing.
Good luck,
Jen

So you want them to break the law just for you? It is required for Bricklink
to collect sales tax. The sellers are the ones who haven't updated their
policies not Bricklink. Why don't you message the sellers telling them what
they need to do. Be part of the solution not part of the problem.

Yeah... On every website you buy online now you put your whole address, email
and phone number. Half of the packets shipped to mine I get a SMS or a call from
the delivery man/woman.
The thing is most BL users that are here more than a few years were not required
to put it on registration, but new ones have it there (optional).
Another problem is you can't add it in your profile: https://www.bricklink.com/pref_address.asp
I found that in XP you have the field available and it saves good to show in

I think that what you are looking for is already there, but somewhat hidden.
After selecting the list open the 'All Filters', the last option in there
is "Hide Items if Have Qty is ≥ Want Qty"

handled.
First, an auto-reply of receipt, with a ticket number, would be great.
I'm not sure what the help desk process looks like on Admin's end, but I would
expect that tickets can be (at the very least), marked with status updates, and
merged (for duplicates). If so, having an autoresponder could also take advantage
of this structure -- when a ticket is closed, the autoresponder could send the
ticket status update to the person who opened the ticket (any anyone else whose
tickets were merged).
Think about the timeout issues we've been seeing lately. It's fantastic that
Admin has come on to the forum to give us some updates on the status. But only
about ... what ... 1/20 BrickLink users reads the forum? Less than that do it
regularly, and we know how fast posts scroll off the first page.
If status updates could be sent at least to the people who mailed the help-desk,
I think that would go a long way toward keeping those frustrated users "in-the-loop",
in case a significant portion of them are not forum readers.

Bump, because the request for better trouble ticket support has been open for
more than ten years with no response from BrickLink.
We asked for this over ten years ago, a fact that The LEGO Group and @CE_Tanja
may not be aware of.

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.

And they are glued, so cant be inventoried, so no parts in chrome red?

At least the arms and legs can be taken off, so it is possible to have singe

|
| 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?

First, it’s not clear if you’re talking about Studio or if you want that suggestion
for the website/catalogue.
If the former, the dedicated forum for Studio and PartDesigner is here: https://forum.bricklink.com/
(hover over the red Studio icon on every page, then click “Studio Forum”).
AND, you can already simply do that in Studio: check “Hide unavailable colors”
in the general Colour Palette (on the top right), then select the parts in the
viewport, then open the colour palette, and only the common colours will be available.

My spin on this subject is that every seller, not just new sellers, should have
a sand box where they be a pretend buyer. They can do everything other
than create a real order, make real payments, or leave real feedback. All of
those would be simulated, from a simulated buyer.

all my parts and sets. I am using all 3 stockrooms depending if it is set I
am keeping, parts i am keeping, or parts to keep and sell later.
What I am looking for is when I pick the A, B, or C from the drop down menu,
then it automatically checks the box for storeroom so I don't have to do
2-3 clicks.
Does this make it more clear?

I don't know of anyway to do this, but like the suggestion. I use the stock
rooms all the time and would love to see the ability to default the check box
and the actual stock room option (A, B or C) by default.

|
| 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.

Search:
-pattern
The word pattern is included in the name of nearly every decorated part.

I think perhaps the OP wants a search that will *exclude* decorated parts

| This is a good idea however, there can be many changes to item numbers in a day.
The team might become overloaded by changes and notifications. Unless they can
find a way to automate this, this idea is something to look for further in the
future

If a notice is sent out for items marked for deletion, why can't it be done
for changes.

What colours are missing?
I would disagree that trans medium blue is a neon colour

The Apply Order function, kind of, already does that.
It changes the Have quantities in the Wantlist(s).

|
| 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?

Some instructions have multiple booklets, so if one or more are missing that
would be an "incomplete" set of instructions. For example, if you had only 1
or 2 booklets from the following instruction set and wanted to sell them, how
would you list them?
Of course this is just an example and not a very good one, I doubt many people
are looking for these. But maybe this one?

Duh (smacks forehead).
I have this set and didn't even think about that.

It's a strong idea that's getting some push back. How about...
For color descriptors within the title, just using the color itself
as a small box next to the part within the description, as in the Color Guide?
|
And then people will have to hover over the patch to know the name of the colour
because the colours are undistinguishable unless they are side to side and named?
Not very practical, I fear.
