See picture. Why is this part blank? That's weird. Why can you only make
a percentage discount conditional and not a fixed discount?

Suggestion: Allow fixed discounts to be conditional as well.

Hello Teup,

Not posting that I think your suggestion is invalid or that a coupon that would
just be "free shipping" (and conditional) isn't a nice idea.

It would seem like you could deal with this now though in 2 ways.

1. Do create a Domestic shipping method that is free over X amount. If you keep
it Domestic I assume it might not get used by others before you remove it (after
they place an order) if that is the plan. I posted some ways to do free shipping
over X here: https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1072145

2. Make an agreement and have them checkout with one of your Manual Invoicing
options, and don't charge for shipping.


Cheers,
Cosy

Thanks for your suggestions. I guess I didn't really explain the situation
properly; I would like to offer free shipping on any future orders that may come
from this buyer (and ideally, all buyers in this town). There's not a current
order yet that I want to have it for.
I think I will create a domestic shipping method with a minimum order, as you
suggested, and put in the description that it's only available for buyers
in my town and the next town. Not ideal, but I can at least try it and evaluate
after some time.

I hope this missing coupon feature will be added, as well as an option to offer
a shipping method based on password and/or on region. I'm sure I am not the
only one who for whatever reason would want to offer a shipping method on a selective
or individual basis.

  Hi,

There is any way to see, in the new wanted list, the most cheap stores for each
part in a wanted list as I can do in the old/classic wanted list?

Yes.
Open a WL.
Click “More Options” next to its search field.
Right column, “Items for Sale Options:” click “Show” and look at the options
below, especially the sorting option as by “Store Name” is the stupid and useless
default.
Then click “Apply”.

Note that there’s a “Best Price” sorting option next to “Lowest” and “Highest”
but no one knows what that means.

I could Easy Buy both models at the same time and possibly find one store selling
the parts for both models!

Already exist. At the Wantlist tab, go to the Search or Buy page.

I used to report errors of incomplete sets listed as complete using the Bricklink
problem center form, and it used to work a while ago, but the requests stopped
being acted upon, (even the most blatant examples), so I stopped submitting them.

  
Yes all of them - I was thinking of a database query and automated email or
something like that. But really I was just venting some frustration. I know Bricklink
isn't going to do anything about this.

I have all the columns opened up, and the tax information isn't there. It
also isn't calculated in the total amount received from buyers.

It definitely shows on invoices, which is where I look for the address when I
know tax was collected, but to find those orders, I have to look through my filed
orders.

  I'm working on my quarterly tax filing and was hoping to find a column in
the order export information for the tax that was collected on in-state sales.
Alas, it is not.

For those of us that collect sales tax, having that field in the order download
spreadsheet would be extremely helpful, along with the street address and city/zip
code. All of this information is required when filing sales taxes in NY.

Thank you for all you do!

"Sounds like a lot of work? You are probably losing money too. The average
sold price is lower than it should be because so many incomplete sets are being
sold as complete. If sellers saw the real average price they would set their
prices higher and Bricklink would benefit from the higher commission.""

Same for boxes of minifigs where SETS instead of boxes are listed, causing an
average price for the boxes far too low.
