| Request for addition in checkout process and terms of store at beginning of purchase.
Hello Admins of BrickLink.
I would like to request an addition in the checkout process that will simplify
the way I handle my lot limitation versus $.
I’m sure some sellers would like to add there comment to my request but could
I ask them to restraint themselves to make it official that I’m doing a request
to the admin but I need to receive an answer that will be available to everybody.
I received another order that do not comply with my store terms and I don’t like
to cancel orders since almost all this orders are from new users with 0 feedback
.
I think everybody here sometimes received orders like 100 lots for $20 or more.
The way my storage is done, I can say that a 100 lots orders will take me around
100 minutes to fill, pack, print. Even if I run for it, I can maybe done it in
50 minutes.
From a first time user, this is not funny to spend an hour or two and get cancel
at the end because the order done did not respect store terms.
The concept of limitations in orders are widely spread. Even Lego website for
parts have limitations.
I like to suggest a simple way to fix my problem and this will be a great way
for everyone to fix their goal. This is an addition needed but this would not
affect other factors if you want to keep them.
At checkout, can you add a factor of division versus amount in $.
Ex: I would like my store to accept orders with maximum 20 lots for $25
In other terms, I can take orders that will go over 125% of lots versus dollars.
To make it easier to understand we could also go with % calculation.
A 1% factor will be an order of 20 lots for a purchase of $.20 minimum purchase
A 10% factor will be an order of 20 lots for a purchase of $2 minimum purchase
A 50% factor will be an order of 20 lots for a purchase of $10 minimum purchase
A 100% factor will be an order of 20 lots for a purchase of $20 minimum purchase
A 125% factor will be an order of 20 lots for a purchase of $25 minimum purchase
So at checkout every order will be calculate by the factor we want. If you don’t
want any limitation on the number of lot just leave it by default to 1%.
That’s easy to control and the buyer will get a message with short explanation
of the limit concept for that store in the beginning of their purchase. I think
it’s a much better way to define every need of different sellers and nothing
is lost or gain for sellers who don’t care about lot limitations.
That will be a great way for buyers to be inform right away and not having deception
at the end of their orders.
If you accept, I will be now removing the $20 minimum purchase in my store and
removing all the bulk minimum that break my head all the time.
Please Admins,can you come up with an detail answer of your views on this .
I would like to thank you for your time and keep on doing the great work.

|
| Suggestion is to give Special Assemblies their own section of
the catalog.
Right now they can be found by going to the parts section.
Giving them their own section would make them stand out. I didn't even know
they existed until the recent forum discussion.
Make the corresponding drop down menu match to the theme the assembly comes from?

|
| I would really like to see a new parameter for lots that limits the amount a
buyer can buy of a certain part in any one order. The part would then turn up
in search results and in store inventory showing not more than the value specified.
It's something that many online stores use, notably also LEGO themselves.
So far the way to do this is to offer the desired max amount, put in remarks
how much is left, and put the item on retain. This has several drawbacks, most
of all:
- You have to manually reoffer and modify the remarks all the time
- You cannot see or accurately modify the price and other stats of your inventory
because part of the amount of what you have is hidden in remarks
This could all be solved by 1 simple extra field, that is left on 0 when unused.
Of course, the item should not appear updated for users that still have an order
that has not yet reached the packed status. Of course buyers can buy again after
that, but separate shipping and handling fees should be sufficient to bar the
effect of buyers blowing sudden holes in your inventory.

|
| Can we please get a field in the my inventory page for a minimum stock level
for each item and can that please be used to trigger an automatic entry to a
dedicated wantlist as soon as the re-order level is hit?
So for example what I would want is say in red, I would like a minimum
inventory to be in my store of 30. I have 60 at present. An order comes through
for 40, and immediately that part in that colour gets added to my dedicated
wantlist for inventory.
The benefit would be that it is simply a wantlist that needs to be checked daily
and not inventory levels in brickstock or some other off-site inventory management
system. Also obviously easier to re-order as needed, especially for sellers like
me with very long lead-times.
Of course, the best would be if there could be a complete inventory management
on BL as to which this would just a small part of because I really find it frustrating
that inventory management on-site is essentially just the selling price and quantity
available, but... baby steps

|
| One of the many ways that I personally change my pricing is simply based on how
much space those items take up to store them. An example is, I believe I have
about 200 6x6 plates. This takes up a good amount of room to hold these, of
which, maybe I would want to price these lower to possibly move them to free
up space. Another example is large Wheels. Regardless, it would be beneficial;
to other than knowing what items are large but also to know how much space is
being used in comparison to others if they were able to sort by total Size which
would be Quantity times the sizes that BL already has established. This would
help compare space being used for 2 x 4 plates vs 6 x6 plates vs 1x1 round plates
and also be another way to run sales on items that are large that maybe we forgot
we even had.
Thanks for the consideration.

|
| It would be a great help when tracking payments if the Bricklink Order Number
could be added to the PayPal payment.
When an order is paid for via the onsite checkout, the payment has a Purchase
Description of 'Bricklink Order', but adding the Order Number onto this
too would be a great help.
Thank you,

| Author: | bb1158246 | | Posted: | Aug 20, 2018 19:32 | | Subject: | Uploading minifigs made easier | | Viewed: | 156 times | | Topic: | Suggestions | | Status: | Open | | Vote: | [Yes|No] | |
|
| I don't know if there have been suggestions on this before, but I couldn't
help wondering if there's a way to implement this suggestion.
In uploading Legos to my store that's opening soon (hopefully!!  ), I see
that there are two ways to upload minifigs. Either, you can find complete minifigs
and upload your minifig as such (such as Dr. Charles Lightning in Adventurers),
or you can upload each individual piece (such as Left Robot Arm).
I'm uploading Legos that I bought from an ebay bulk lot, so all the minifigures
are just randomly put together. So somehow, I'm supposed to find out if any
of my minifig parts can make up an actual minifigure that belongs in a category,
or if I have to individually upload each piece.
That probably sounds confusing, so let me put it another way. Say, for example,
that I have 3 pairs of red, blue, and green pants. I also have 3 pairs of red,
green, and blue shirts. I have 5 different faces, and 3 different hats. If you're
an expert at knowing what kind of minifigs there are out there (which I am completely
and totally ignorant about), you'll probably be able to tell if there are
any combinations of the minifig parts that I have that make up an actual minifigure
that is in a category. But I have no idea about these things. Yes, if I didn't
want to spend hours looking in each category to see if there are any minifigures
that I could create using my pieces, I could just upload each individual piece.
But here's where the suggestion comes in: When you're uploading different
minifig parts, Bricklink looks for a match. So, say you upload a used green pair
of pants, a used shirt with suspenders and a tie, a used white-bearded face,
and a used explorer's hat all separately. Bricklink knows that Dr. Charles
Lightning is made up of these parts. So something pops up saying something like,
"These pieces make up Dr. Charles Lightning. Do you want to turn these individual
pieces into a complete minifigure, or leave them as individual pieces?"
And then you can decide whether or not to leave them as separate pieces.
Now, this is probably wayyy too complicated, and can't be done without a
lot of hard work, and the Bricklink staff already put a lot of work into this.
But if not, and this is possible and easy to do...what do you think? Would this
be a useful addition? Is there already something like this? Or am I just being
stupid, and no one else would find this helpful? 
Sorry for such a long post!
C.

|
| Another suggestion, although this may be moot with some of whatever BL has come
up with for the upcoming sellers' update, whenever that is going to be.
My suggestion is to have all (if possible) of a given item category's pages
choosable, at the top and bottom of the page. Right now, it displays 1-10. Personally,
I have a category (plates) with 16 pages, and I find it more than just a little
annoying to have to select page 10, just to go to pages 11-16. And when on, say,
15, 1-4 are now not an option.
That page is quite wide enough you could simply put all 1-16 on there, without
the slightest issue. Probably even 1-30, before you hit the edge of the used
page.
Another option could be to have a "jump to the end" button (in my case, would
jump to 16) and one to jump back to page 1 as well.
Also, a different suggestion, but related, add a "Submit changes" to the top
of the page as well. It seems stupid (to me) to have to scroll to the bottom
of the page, just to submit whatever changes I made to the top item on that page.

|
| Hello,
as a seller I always have this problem:
buyer submits a rash order then wants to cancel.
If you do agree, you risk the buyer leaving a negative feedback. I would surely
leave a neutral or negative for someone asking to cancel an order just because
they don't want the items anymore. But I can't leave it, as a revenge
negative is always ready.
So I deny the order cancel until they become NPB, I undergo the NPB procedure,
so the buyer isn't allowed to leave a feedback anymore.
But this way my items are BLOCKED FOR 14 DAYS (7 I have to wait + 7 I have to
wait the NPB to resolve) and no one can buy them anymore.
Instead if I was able to accept the OCR, knowing they will not be able to leave
a negative, I would do that, leave a neutral, relist my items instatly and move
on.
I don't think that removing the chance to leave a feedback if we wish to
cancel the order is so unfair. The ones who wish to cease the order, ceases the
feedback with it.
Please help us sellers.
Thanks

| Hi. I know other sites do this. I haven't checked if anyone else has suggested
this already so apologies if it has! Isn't it about time BrickLink had a
'have' section. I am do done with maintaining a spreadsheet with all
my sets. I'd love an option on here to be able to document all I have by
set name, then split by part and minifigure, cross-reference to the sets I have!
You have this already for the 'wanted'list, why not do a separate version
for the 'haves' as well. Are you just leaving this to other sites? I'd
prefer to have everything in 1 site so Come on Bricklink, get this feature out
there!

|
| Sorry if this has been suggested before (don't know how it couldn't have
been), but maybe red banner, large text saying "NO COLOR CHOSEN" when on the
add item verification page. Sort of the way it already warns you if you already
have 1 of said part in your inventory. Just something to say you failed to chose
a color would be a nice, simple addition. Would certainly help when listing white
items, because if you fail to chose a color, the part's image shows it in
white.

|
| It would be great if i could put all my wanted parts into a list and get results
from sellers that had most of the parts.
This would help on searching different sites to find parts that one or two sellers
may have rather than placing orders with several sellers.
Also helps in paying postage fees

| Sales are nice thing, right? Scoring a bulk load of 1x1 plates you so desperately
need for a long overdue project helps you move on!
When 70% of the sales announcements concern shops that do NOT ship to you, the
nice efforts turn into an ever growing deception....
So here's my suggestion: have a SALE announcement link to the shipping terms
of the store so there will be ONLY announcement visible that actually DO ship
to your country.
Ever working on a more pleasant environment.

| Would it be possible, while logged in and looking at the parts inventory of a
given set, to have an indicator by any parts that are on a Wanted List?
Could really come in handy when evaluating sets for parts potential.

| Bricklink
Can we please have a sandbox to be able to test shipping options.
4 times this month the actual shipping has been more than the IC system has calculated.
Yes this maybe because I have done something incorrectly but a system in place
to allow sellers to test option before finalising them surely would be good for
everyone.

David
P.s As there is also no edit function for posts - if there is a system in place
and I cannot find it then thank you and could someone please direct me to it.

| Sometimes we make BL orders together with one or more friend to optimize shipping
costs. This is a little bit hard to do specially with lot of lots.
It would be very nice if there will be an option to invite somebody to an order
to add an another batch. For example, if i get an invite, i could add a batch
to my friend's order from my own account. It would be a spearated batch named
to me.
Obviously it could be a solution to share each's password, but obvious security
reason it's not really a fun solution.
And also: it would be nice if we have the itemNo with link to the catalog on
the shop's store page like in the global store page.
