It'd be nice with a link to the feedback for a purchase from the price guide
of a product, to get an idea of how happy the buyer/seller was with the purchase
for the price they gave.

Does it annoy any other Sellers that when you visit your quote page you see EVERY
quote you have ever given? Please add a FILE option so that once a quote is no
longer valid, has been rejected or is even accepted and finished we can make
it go away.

Also, the number in parentheses beside the Quotes (4) link should only represent
open, active, or incomplete quotes. Every time I see it I get a jolt thinking
I have left something undone.

My suggestion is for invoices for new users to automatically go thru the BL message
system (as well as email). This may cut down new users not seeing invoices in
their email for whatever reason.

I don't see that receiving BL invoices via the message system & email is
labeled as the default setting, so I thought I'd suggest it.

The on/off button is currently found in the My Settings: My Contact Settings
section.

There can be a link to disable the feature within the message.

I really like having this feature on at all times, but I can see how some may
find it bothersome.

Hey folks!

Buyers can't see their cart weight unless they enable some obscure option.
Why is that option even not enabled by default? Why can't I, as a seller,
force buyers to see their cart weight in my store?

This means that if buyers aren't aware that this option exists, they have
to guess the weight, ask the seller continuously as they add batches, or request
a bunch of quotes.

Why force this upon ourselves when the website can automatically do it for us?

I suggest we allow sellers to show cart weights to their buyers, even if the
buyers haven't enabled that option.

Thanks for voting!

Hey folks!

I think this option is counter-productive for buyers. (See image below)

Sellers are allowed to turn off the display of cart weight in their store, even
if the buyer has chosen to see cart weight.

This means that if buyers are cost-of-shipping-sensitive, they have to manually
calculate the cart weight, or ask the seller for a quote.

Why force this upon ourselves when the website can automatically do it for us?

I suggest we force sellers to have the weight of cart shown within their store.

Thanks for voting!

In my opinion the largest problem of the Bricklink page is that the final shipping
costs are often unknown till the invoice. It is much too late. I suggest calculating
the maximum shipping costs before the final checkout.
Let me display an example:
The buyer Alice orders parts which weigh 80 grams. The seller Bob states that
the shipping costs are 3 EUR up to 100 grams and 4 EUR up to 200 grams. Bob means
the TOTAL weight while from Alice's point of view the weight of packing materials
is unknown and never stated. This way Alice doesn't know the final price.
(Btw. I suppose it is against the EU law.)

Once I have come across such a case that in seller's opinion the maximum
net weight of parts was about 30 grams to keep the total weight below 100 grams!
Is it fair and clear?

I can see the following solutions:
(i) suggest the buyers to state their shipping costs precisely, in terms of net
weight of parts or dimensions of parts
(ii) apply automatic calcultion of maximum shipping costs on the checkout page
so that the seller couldn't apply higher costs.
The latter one is much better.

Best regards

When you click on an item in a store at present, you go first to the small image,
then have to click again to get a large image. Why not go straight to the large
image?

If your goal is to go to the item in catalog, the picture you go to first makes
no difference.

If your goal is to see a bigger picture of the item, you still have to click
again, why not go straight to larger picture?

There are a number of slow shippers on Bricklink, but bricks are perfect when
they arrive.

I actually like ebay system of being able to rank item/communication/shipping
separately.

hi

not sure if this has been suggested before

I have been a member for a while but only recently started buying lego off here
and I like to keep track of what lego I have but its a pain writing it all down
when I buy lego, as you have an inventory for sellers I think it would be a good
idea to have one for buyers.

as orders arrive I would like to be able to add it to my inventory and also see
a total amount I have of that lego piece next to each item when in a shop, so
it tells me how many Technic, Liftarm 1 x 7 Thick, Black, next to the qty that
the seller has if that makes sense?

not sure about anyone else but this would make it so much easier for me as I
then don't have to keep checking if I have that lego piece when im looking,
this will help me decide if I need more of that lego piece or if I have enough
of them for now and stop me maybe ordering the same pieces from 2 different stores
days a part when I place orders

thank you

Hi,

I don't use the forum very often, but was on yesterday and was annoyed by
the amount of spam that was flying around offering passports etc.

Can i suggest that the forum is restricted to members who have received some
(one) positive feedback for either a purchase or sale.

This would prohibit people from just registering and posting SPAM.

As I understand it, BL sellers and buyers are earning BL several million quid
a year via commission. Can I humbly suggest that some of this profit is redirected
into giving the platform an active customer support staff that is available 24-hours
per day. That such a site relies on volunteers to keep the wheels greased is
a bit perverse given the circumstances.

Just wondering if there is a way to remove "my wanted" list from My own store?
Rather than removing parts for a set line by line.

There are people putting a very rare and expensive part at a very low price in
a super-lot in order to attract people.

That is imho unfair, but permitted.
This also spoils the average price in a terrible way. There should be a simple
option in which you can EXCLUDE super-lots as much as you can exclude incomplete
sets.

The System is already able to find out if a lot is part of a super lot, so that
should be super-easy to implement, and would really help a lot.

Thanks.

It's probably been brought up before, but it would be very handy to include
a tracking link for all open orders. Assuming there is tracking. It would make
things a lot easier for the buyers.

And speaking of the buyers, please bring back the lowest price option on the
auto-finder. Making things easier for the buyers make people buy things. If
you make it harder to buy things, you lose sales.

It makes no sense that you can enter a store you are stoplisted from (let alone
be able to fill your cart and only find you are stoplisted when attempting to
checkout)

Please change it back to the way is used to be that when you tried to enter the
store it tells you you are stoplisted.

Thanks,
Paul.

Maybe this is covered somehow, or I'll just make it as a suggestion. If
I'm looking building a set, or parting out a set, I'd love to know what
the most valuable pieces in that set are. Is there no way to do that already?
I'd love to see a sort by average price on the set inventory page!

It can take a lot of scrolling to find my price/quantities in the price guide
overview.
I always use 'sort by price and group by month' (consolidated currencies).
These options should remain.

So my suggestions for the price guide of a part in a certain color:

-As a seller I would like to see my data (price and quantities) at the top part
of the screen, or at the top of a month.

-Most of the time I am not immediately interested in each separate entry (sold
or available). I would prefer an overview of quantities per price. So instead
of seeing 10 separate entries for each transaction where the part sold for 0.01,
there would only be one entry per price. This will hopefully shorten the overview
somewhat.
--condense/collapse the separate entries to one per price
--it should be possible to click on the condensed/collapsed entry to see
all individual entries

In my own case, I don't use tiered pricing or % off at all and rarely
use reserved. Unless I am mistaken, every field in a web form like a page of
my inventory is taking up memory and slowing down processing and I don't
even use half of the fields. If I could turn those off, the site would be much
more friendly to my iPad.

Hello Admin,

Please add the Community tab back on top of the page when in a store.

To go to Community now we have to either click the Bricklinklogo and end up at
the homepage or click the MyBL link and end up at My Profile and then we see
the Community tab.

Preferrable add the Search too.

Hi,

Is it possible to have a check box within the quotes page to allow us sellers
to remove quotes that have been cancelled/accepted?

I can see the future scenario of where sellers will have multiple pages of quotes
and none of them will be relevant...

The reason I suggest name change is that

NOW

Catalog order:

Mini Doll ...
Mini Fig ...

AFTER CHANGE:

Mini Fig ...
Mini Friend ...

Because having Mini Doll first is driving me crazy.

Also Friend is matches brand name of series for those searching.

Would it be possible to have a number pop up on the my store button when an order
comes in like it does for a message on my bl? I send a lot of time on bricklink,
but not a lot of time checking emails so I would be good to see I have an order.

With instant checkout looming around the corner, I would like to have the option
for my buyers to be able to use the instant checkout option when purchasing my
electronically delivered custom model instructions.

However, at the moment, I cannot differentiate these electronic instructions
from actual paper instructions. I am not allowed to set the weight to zero grams
or selecting a checkbox that these are electronic. How will this be handled during
instant checkout with causing some sort of error?

Please allow for an option for sellers of custom instructions to be able to allow
instant checkout.

There are other sellers who use Bricklink for selling these and would benefit
from this implementation. It would also cause less issues and confusion if this
is properly handled. Lastly, this will draw more sellers of custom instructions
to sell through Bricklink instead of other venues.

Thank you for the consideration.

Howdy guys! I was wondering if it is possible to have our picking list separated
into New and Used But still be in order of item number? For example, all the
new would be at the top of the list but be in the correct item number order,
then the used (in correct order) would be after the new. It would be soooo helpful
since the New and Used are obviously in different places in our physical stores.
Yikes, dare I say this BUT, that is how Brickowl does it and it is just much,
much easier to pull.
thanks for lending an ear
