Yes please.

You only need to look at sets (sorry, gear) like this to see why ...

  At present I can do a great deal from the myBL page

change orders,
report problem order

I don't see any purpose to changing this to a streamlined version.

The graphics are big, but how big do they need to be to see orders pending, orders
awaiting payment orders awaiting shipment? It is a lot of wasted space.

I would like to be able to x out certain displays, ie the feedback.

I don't understand the purpose of the change? is it to enable mobile? because
a phone app seems vital.

Note also, I am making PRAISE: the current myBL page works.


I find much of the old one completely unnecessary, especially everything in the
lower half of the page. Nearly everything in the site map is unneccessary for
the MY BL page - it isn't about me. I'd prefer a cleaner page with a
single link to the site map for those that want to access it, rather than everything
in the site map on the MY page. After all a lot of that stuff is not about ME.
For example, the catalog section is not about ME and it is all accessible from
the SHOP tab. Same with stores. The forum stuff is accessible through the COMMUNITY
tab and so on and so on. Very little of that information is actually about me,
my store and my orders. It doesn't need to clutter a page about me, especially
if all of it is available within the menus.

There are so many links close together in the site map that they are next to
impossible to click on and get right first time if you are on a tablet or
worse on a smartphone. I'd much prefer an icon based screen with clickable
pictures rather than text links, even on a PC. I hope it is not just the My BL
that gets updated like this, but all pages.

  Most of my first time customers have said that they had difficulty finding the
pieces they wanted when first coming to Bricklink. Perhaps a link on how to navigate
the catalog or use the wanted lists, or a guide as to how to learn what piece
you need on the main page may be useful to people first coming to the site. I
believe this should be prominent.

And the "How do I find Items?" page is not what I'm thinking about. Maybe
a short youtube video explaining where the numbers are on Lego pieces, what they
mean and how to look for pieces you don't actually have. ie set inventories.

Thanks for considering,

Tyson.

Below each page are the Helppages.

Wilbo, did you click on the link and read the page? It's not very useful,
especially for a new user.

Did you click the correct link, as it provides a buying tutorial explaining step
by step the process:
https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=10

  My point was it should be more prominent than what
it is currently and more helpful. Which Jennifer has pointed out is in progress.
I hope when the video is done it is front and center on the main page, not buried.
The main page I believe would be used by new users most. I don't think very
many return users use it, but that may be a bad assumption on my part.

Tyson.

  Hi everyone,

First of all, thank you to Teup for writing this post. I've heard from many
other users about this and since we certainly have no intention of "killing"
the European market, nor do we want any users to feel marginalized, we've
decided to allow IBAN for new sellers again.

Here's how it will work:

-New sellers who have not upgraded from a buyer in good standing† will need to
go through the verification process to open their store and will also need to
request IBAN permission.

-New sellers who have upgraded from a buyer account in good standing will need
to contact the help desk to request IBAN payment.

†"Buyer account in good standing" = Has had an active account for 100 days and
has received positive feedback from 5 different legitimate sellers.

***All new sellers will be required to have at least one onsite payment method
available in their store in order to accept IBAN**


I'll be updating the help topic for onsite/offsite payment methods and will
mention this on the new seller verification page as well. If anyone would like
to request IBAN for their store, please send me a direct message.

Thanks!

Great news.
Thanks Bricklink for allowing it again for new sellers.

Offsite Payment - No longer available for new users as of June 8, 2017.
To cover various payment options, BrickLink also provides Offsite Payment Methods.
Please note that BrickLink cannot provide any transaction related support for
the Offsite Payment Methods listed below. All responsibility for Offsite Payments
is solely upon buyer and seller.


I'm lost for words. Does Bricklink really want to kill the European market
or something? In my real life I don't even know anyone with PayPal (or a
Credit card). In the NL €20,000,000,000 is spent in webshops per year, and almost
all of these transactions are bank transfers. Almost no-one that I know will
consider PayPal, certainly not since it costs money while bank tranfers are free.

IBAN has really become simple in use; Transactions are free, fast, and bank account
numbers have been standardised to IBAN recently. Interfaces for bank transfers
(such as iDeal in the NL) are thriving more than ever and are the undisputed
standard.

And now Bricklink is moving in the opposite direction.

They will lose the Dutch market, which is the 4th largest country on the platform
in terms of store count. Bricklink always seemed a bit America First but this
decision right here really changes my opinion of Bricklink. I personally will
survive since it doesn't affect existing stores and I will move more of my
business over to BO which does support bank transfers. But they will certainly
scare away lots of potential customers here, and for new sellers this is crazy
unfair. This is either a huge mistake or Bricklink just isn't interested
in the European market..

Please support my suggestion to re-enable IBAN/Bank transfer, also if you don't
use it. For an accessable and thriving site that benefits all of us, and a site
that is fair to everyone.. it's really in all of our interest if you want
Bricklink to be #1..

Hi Jaclyn,

Thank you so much for your feedback on this and most of all for the decision
to reenable it! I am very glad to hear this, not that it "affects" me in the
immediate sense but I feel much more comfortable about the future of Bricklink
now. Great news for alot of (future) Bricklinkers! Happy to run my business here


Cheers,

Mathieu

believe this should be prominent.

And the "How do I find Items?" page is not what I'm thinking about. Maybe
a short youtube video explaining where the numbers are on Lego pieces, what they
mean and how to look for pieces you don't actually have. ie set inventories.

Thanks for considering,

Wilbo, did you click on the link and read the page? It's not very useful,
especially for a new user. My point was it should be more prominent than what
it is currently and more helpful. Which Jennifer has pointed out is in progress.
I hope when the video is done it is front and center on the main page, not buried.
The main page I believe would be used by new users most. I don't think very
many return users use it, but that may be a bad assumption on my part.

Tyson.

Hello,

You are in luck! This project seems already to be in progress:

'Creation of a new user welcome message with a video tutorial'

https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=2453

I agree this will be a very helpful feature.

Jen

  In another thread someone brought this to my attention:

Offsite Payment - No longer available for new users as of June 8, 2017.
To cover various payment options, BrickLink also provides Offsite Payment Methods.
Please note that BrickLink cannot provide any transaction related support for
the Offsite Payment Methods listed below. All responsibility for Offsite Payments
is solely upon buyer and seller.


I'm lost for words. Does Bricklink really want to kill the European market
or something? In my real life I don't even know anyone with PayPal (or a
Credit card). In the NL €20,000,000,000 is spent in webshops per year, and almost
all of these transactions are bank transfers. Almost no-one that I know will
consider PayPal, certainly not since it costs money while bank tranfers are free.

IBAN has really become simple in use; Transactions are free, fast, and bank account
numbers have been standardised to IBAN recently. Interfaces for bank transfers
(such as iDeal in the NL) are thriving more than ever and are the undisputed
standard.

And now Bricklink is moving in the opposite direction.

They will lose the Dutch market, which is the 4th largest country on the platform
in terms of store count. Bricklink always seemed a bit America First but this
decision right here really changes my opinion of Bricklink. I personally will
survive since it doesn't affect existing stores and I will move more of my
business over to BO which does support bank transfers. But they will certainly
scare away lots of potential customers here, and for new sellers this is crazy
unfair. This is either a huge mistake or Bricklink just isn't interested
in the European market..

Please support my suggestion to re-enable IBAN/Bank transfer, also if you don't
use it. For an accessable and thriving site that benefits all of us, and a site
that is fair to everyone.. it's really in all of our interest if you want
Bricklink to be #1..

Note the Shipping Cost Suggestion is already favouriting the more expensive tracked
parcel option over the €3.50 cheaper untracked parcel option.
The buyer selected the cheapest method.

  I suggest that the new My BrickLink page links be user-customizable. It seems
like the best way to make the most people happy. The new page is titled, after
all, My BrickLink. What's the point if every My BrickLink page is the same?

Let users customize their My BrickLink page with BrickLink page links they find
valuable. It's the sensible thing to do.

IOW: add more options to the new “Customize View” button.

  in oppose to some previous comments i've seen, i actually like the New My
Bricklink Layout.
it's bigger and easier to navigate, props to BL on always trying to improve.

my suggestion is:
with a larger New My Bricklink page, maybe it's possible to add a notification
for "replies made to my forum comments"

right now if i write a forum comment i save it on my browser so i could later
check to see if my questions or comments were addressed- perhaps if there was
a notification available it might be easier.

Thanks for considering.

I like it. Not high in priority, but a very good idea, nonetheless.

The site map on the old My BL page was quite handy and must more condensed than
the full site map.

I would like to suggest that it be added to the new page in some form. Maybe
a button that when clicked opens/expands the old map without changing pages,
if possible.

Also, the new page is nice to look at, but it has too much empty space leading
to unnecessary scrolling. Only half of the page is displayed on a 22" monitor
w/o scrolling, whereas before 3/4 of the page was displayed with 100% of the
major info on one.
