I've only used site for a week (with two toddlers screaming I want that one
the whole time) so this may be an option somewhere but it would be great if there
is a way to search for local sellers by zip code

Hi everyone.

I was wanting to give one of the many Lego building software's a go preferably
one that works with brick Link. I don't mind paying but a free one would
be preferable.
What does everyone recommend? The simpler the better I might add, I'm not
bad with technology but I am going to be trying to teach my grandson how to do
it.

Sincerely BrickMark1960

Hello, would it be posible to add a custom payment method option for "local"
(national) payment options like "Swish" here in Sweden or "Ideal" in the Netherlands.

I dont think it would be that hard to implement but it would help a lot. At the
moment I have added a note to my bank transfer option thats say that I also accet
Swish-payments, but I still have to ask the buyer which method he wants to use.

When getting an order thru Instant Check-out I would like to see a copy of the
"order notification email" along with a copy of the "invoice" email just like
when a non-instant order is placed.

I have saved these for future reference for years.

Thanx, Milissa

I know it's already been hashed over and over that sellers want to be able
to buy in their own store, and, for reasons I still cannot fathom, BL has refused
to allow it. But that isn't why I'm posting here.

The real problem is that I'm unable to test my store settings from a customer's
perspective. This is %$#%@# ridiculous. No store on the planet has a policy
that stops employees and management from taking items to a register and going
through check out process (and then void the sale, or abandon it before finishing).
Now this new instant check out has me setting up a system that I'm barred
from using without going to someone else's store to experience their *different*
configuration.

I guess I need to set up a shill account in violation of BL's terms just
so I can make sure my store works as I intend?

Hi,

why isn't a copy of the invoice sent to the seller on instant checkout?

I'd like to see that a) it is sent and b) keep a copy

Until the automatic checkout feature is able to calculate state sales tax, allow
orders from specified USA states to be blocked.

This should be done at the store level. Very similar to the check boxes for countries
to ship to.

In my case, I’ve tried to get around the lack of a tax calculation line item
by creating a special shipping choice for Florida residents which includes a
6% fee. I can still lose out on up to 1.5% because cities and counties can have
additional taxes.

In practice, none of my orders from new buyers select the Florida Residents option,
so I am out 7.5%.

All measurement units and weights should be converted to Metric.

All other measurement units should be abandoned including stud lengths and imperial
units.

Thank you,

Is it possible to have emails sent from the actual address when someone contacts
me through the Bricklink site? Rather than having them generated from blservice@bricklink.com.

When I hit reply, the response goes back to Bricklink instead of to the email
author.

Either that or have it sent to a dead email address so at least I will get an
error that it wasn't delivered.

This has probably been suggested before.

I have just had an instance where a buyer has placed an order in my store and
paid with an echeque. I had set the status to clearing whilst the echeque cleared
and the buyer has
gone and placed another order which instead of creating a new order has been
added as an addition to the old one. This is making things messy.

My suggestion is that any order set to clearing should have the same status as
paid or packed and not allow any additions but create a new order.

Hi,

With the exception of one message (October 13) without the standard subject "Regarding
BrickLink Order #_______", all of my Inbox and Outbox non-Order# messages over
the last few months have been removed.

I did not delete these messages, and as a matter of routine do not delete any
BrickLink messages, since they're eventually cleared out after six months
or so. Recent messages are important, because they provide a record of shipping
quotes and other communications with potential buyers.

Please restore them, Matthew

Hi Admins,

Please consider-

We have set up multiple shipping methods to handle different shipping box sizes
and weights, all these have been "grouped" as one as they all refer to one shipping
option for the buyer that being UK domestic 1st class. The system is designed
to offer only the lowest priced option within the group to the buyer and so far
this seems to work well

However it makes the shipping terms look very messy with rows of options looking
exactly the same of which only one will be offered to the buyer at checkout (see
our shipping terms as an example). Would it be possible to "hide" all these options
and just show a summary description of the shipping method by "group" in the
displayed shipping methods?

Thanks,

Robert

Correct me if I am wrong, but I have never noticed an option for two-factor authentication
on BrickLink and I think that in this day and age most websites and services
should include it.

So...

I propose the addition of two factor authentication (via SMS code).

Hello
I would like to suggest a category split:

I like to purchase printed tiles, but I am not interested in parts that have
stickers already applied. Currently, the category for "Tiles - Printed" has
a great number of parts which are not printed but actually a sticker.

My suggestion is to create two categories: "Tiles - Printed" which is reserved
only for true printed parts, and "Tiles - with Sticker" for the others.


thank you for your consideration,

-allan-

A recent forum message just reminded me of a concept I thought of awhile ago.

Please consider creating 3 options for wanted list viewing among users.

Private:
Default option. No one else can see your any of your lists.

Limited:
Much like reserving items where you enter a user name. This would allow one
person of your choosing to view a specific list.

Public:
One or all of your lists can be seen by everyone.


I recognize that this isn't the most important upgrade that is needed, however,
a feature such as this has been wanted by many for a long time.

It would be very helpful if in the part descriptions submitters were required
to put colours where appropriate. For example and especially for minifig torso
assemblies.

If someone submits a new minifig torso or legs assembly they should fill in a
short form for Hip colours, leg colour(s) as well as torso colour, arm colour
and hand colour.

If we could get this as a requirement it would make life much easier especially
when using tools like goatleg.

If the description doesn't include all this information then Goatleg doesn't
always find it and that makes identifying some of these parts much harder than
it needs to be.

I have noticed that, there is no easy way when using the auto select option on
wanted lists to compare it to the actual wanted list. Sometimes the selector
will get more than 100% of the parts needed and there is no way to see what parts
are being doubled up on. Also, when not all 100% of parts are located there
is no simple way to see what parts haven't been ordered so I cannot select
alternate parts. Basically unless I get a 100% match I cannot place an order
without either wasting money on parts I don't need or ordering an incomplete
model

Hello all. I have been going through the Members - Feedback ratings list, going
on page 21,158 to find information on something that I have been wondering about.
Well in doing this I have seen thousands of users that don't seem to be
"active" users. So I am thinking the 731,476 registered users is somewhat irrelevant.
Many are a once and done, sort of user.

I would like to suggest, that leaving the registered user count intact, but add
the count of "Active" users. Have BL not count the inactive users after say
6 months or 1 year, of actual log in date. This would give us all a better idea
of how many actual users are using BL. This could work just as the purge orders
after 6 months. This would still allow a user to log in after being put into
not active, and then would be in the active number for the 6 months or year.

What say you?

Dave

Hi,

I recently commented that the apparent BrickLink-imposed delay of 29 (or 30)
minutes may wrongly give customers the impression they must complete their order
within this time frame, as opposed to my and others' store closed messages
which often state to simply contact the seller for a bypass password, allowing
for however much time, often days, a seller can provide a particular customer
to finish their shopping cart. In short, I think the store closure message is
more polite than the 29-minute countdown.

Another consideration is that the 29-minute delay means the store is simply not
closed when a store owner wants it to be.

For example, I recently made a large discount error across many more lots and
item types than intended. I didn't know how to quickly undo the change without
messing up other pricing considerations, so I "closed" my store to ensure no
orders were placed with erroneous pricing.

However my store was not actually closed, based on BrickLink's imposed delay.
And during the five to ten minutes needed to set things straight, an order could
have been placed based on unintended pricing.

I recommend that stores close at the moment when store owners want them closed.

Sincerely, Matthew

For many years, I have used the "Item Finder" instead of "Search" at the top
of most pages as I find the functionality better, specifically for filtering
the country of origin of seller.

I again find the "new" search pages not as helpful. I click on "USA" for origin,
then click details, and it shows all parts, not just the sellers in "USA" for
example.

I wanted to pass along this user feedback and see if anyone else has easier and
better ways to find parts. I do not see the "Item Finder" on the new pages,
and suggest that it remain.

I've been going through my old sets and reviving them for my kids. There
are quite a lot of parts missing, so I've been ordering the missing parts.
When doing this, I need to track what I've already ordered, so it would be
pretty awesome if the invoice/order overview also could show the part number
and color, not only the part descriptions.

Thanks,
Joakim

Hello

Of course - everyone has his own system - but mine is:
Color first - item number second

Unfortunately this setting is not available in "orders settings".
Is it possible to have this setting option too?
If yes - where to ask for it?

Best regards

Suggestion:

Please update the item numbers of items marked for deletion to end with "-md"
or something similar. I am putting together older figures and keep running into
guys that are marked for deletion. There is no way to know they are marked for
deletion on Brickstock until I pull up the catalog or try to upload the parts.

The best solution would be to delete the items marked for deletion.

Dear Bricklink,
There is a part I would like you to add to Stud.io.
It is: Black Tile, Round 1 x 1 with Large White Square and Small White Square

Hello,

I think that implementing a shipping method setting allowing or disallowing to
buy without VAT would be very helpful for VAT-registered sellers from the EU.

All orders received from buyers outside of the EU are automatically placed without
VAT, but sometimes sellers can only sell without VAT using particular shipping
methods. Of course VAT can be added manually to order if needed, but what about
upcoming instant checkout?

This setting would allow sellers to set shipping method to automatically add
VAT to orders in checkout when buyer selects such shipping method, even if the
buyer is from outside of the EU.

What do you think sellers?

Best regards,
Tomasz

Maybe I'm missing this option somewhere on the site, but I don't see
a way to quickly revisit a store you ordered parts from recently. I liked the
services of some of these stores so I want to go back to them to see if they
have the additional parts I need.

I would have expected a link on the My Orders page to see the seller's store,
but all I can find is detailed information about the seller minus a link to his
actual store.

I would also have expected a link to the stores I've ordered parts from under
recent activity, but again I don't see anything.

I did find a way to add the store as a Favorite, but that involved a decent amount
of work to copy the seller's id into the field to add them to the list just
so I can get a link back to that seller's store.

Is this an odd behavior to want to revisit a store?

It would be nice if there were some sort of explanation given when a suggestion
changes status.

For instance, explain how what the suggestion asks can be done when the status
goes from “open” to “implemented” or “already exists.”


Take this suggestion: https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1053439
It has recently been marked as “already exists.”
However, the situation didn’t change: When opening a “cart,” we’re not taken
directly to the cart. It depends on the store’s settings.
How can we go directly to a cart?

Rules and regulations on the forum have been mentioned several times before with
others suggesting a feedback limit or a set age on an account for posting, but
I think the best option is for a moderator to manually comb through all new threads
before they get posted on the forum.

This unfortunately tends to clog up conversation, but it seems like the only
full-proof way of getting rid of the spam here. I check the forum maybe once
a week and when I do it's always filled with these scams.

I would prefer to see the fee schedule laid out as attached so I can specifically
track each order and the original fee, additional fees, reductions to fees, and
the final amount.

I do not like the separate popup that details the fee adjustments. It seems
completely disconnected from the fee schedule to have the fee adjustments listed
separately. It is very hard to cumbersome to track back and forth the fee adjustments
to the original order.

Attached is my example.

Thank you for taking this into consideration.

The Bricklink catalogue has the perfect base for this change but it is a question
of whether the developers feel they can do it with minimum effort. Each item
in the catalogue has a PCC as well as its mould or design id number associated
with it. The PCC code is Lego's element id and it is what they print in their
instructions.

There have been lots of comments both in and out of the forum concerning part
weights and how there is a variance between colours of the same part number.
We have also experienced this. The simple way to deal with this is to add a weight
field against the PCC in the catalogue. This would allow the system to hold the
individual weights for each colour part and could be used to more accurately
provide cart weights for instant checkout when it comes out of preview.

Losing order items when changing pages if I forget to 'add to cart' first.
For chumps like me, how about a reminder pop-up, or 'Add to cart' next
to each item?

Hello BrickLink Managers,

I know you're working hard but, as for the New Layout.....

Everything I wanted to see at first glance is on that classic front page. I spend
hours a day working on my site and I'm all over that page. I would prefer
not to have to keep changing pages....it just adds to the time I need to work.
The first thing I check is messages either to see them or send them. Then I go
to Catalog to add parts or figures. Later, before end of day all of my orders
are out that can be out. Please don't change it; it's not broken and
in my humble opinion it doesn't need fixing. The old format was an inspiration....at
least to me.

Thank you,
Nancy, Sierra Trade

I think it would be very useful to be able to have separate email addresses for
your buying and selling activities.

I operate a store but also have wanted lists and buy from time to time and being
able to separate the various emails to different addresses would be helpful.

e.g.

To the "Buying" email address:

Any messages regarding orders you placed e.g. Invoices etc.
Wanted list notifications

To the "Selling" email address:

Any messages regarding orders received e.g. invoices, payments
Emails about Fees

Perhaps there could even be a configuration page for users to select which emails
they would like to go to which address?

Yes you can probably achieve this with filters on your email client if on a PC
but not sure about phones and other devices.

Thanks,
Steve

Funny, I was thinking about it this morning and then received an e-mail that
the main Dutch second hand trading website Marktplaats.nl has just implemented
it: iDeal as a payment method.

This is not as much a major issue as supporting IBAN, but still it would be really
nice thing if BL would choose to add iDeal. More than 300,000,000 transactions
the Netherlands per year, most Dutch people are comfortable with it and use it
regularly. The Netherlands is a large country on Bricklink, so I think that if
it is not hugely complicated to implement, it would be a really good upgrade.
And, for the Bricklink team probably very nice: It is an onsite, instant checkout
compatible payment method.

Maybe I somehow missed it, but it looks like there's no way to modify checkbox
settings for entire lists of inventory detail pages at once. I now delete zero
quantity lots by clicking tons of "delete" checkboxes.

Shouldn't there be checkboxes for this at the top of the page? I've made
a picture of what I mean. It seems likely to me it already exists and I just
fail to find it, if so please point me to it, otherwise, let's add it?!

Hi, in the section Catalog/Statistic there's a old feature "top sold".
The feature seems a little bit buggy, because if you search "top sets sold" the
full result list contains mainly minifigures, parts and accesories.
Anyway, the resulting list is limited to few rows, compared to the catalog.

The complete feature for searching all the sold sets/minifg ordered by historical
total sell count could be a great help both for buyers and sellers.

The cherry could be the drill-down in detail of any record to see the chart (or
the plain data to keep it simple) showing the sell counts over year (or quarters),
or only the best and worst selling period in the set life.

Example:

PAGED LIST OF THE HISTORICAL SETS SELL COUNT, ordered by bestsellers, filtered
per year range.
In addition, after clicking on the set 7621 Indiana Jones we discover the sells
count distributed over the time from 2008 to 2017.

Hi,

I have a couple of suggestions to improve usability of the Wanted List feature:

One of the things that would really make life easier for me is to be able to
group Wanted Lists. Say like this:

Wanted List Group: Cars
- List: Ferrari California
- List: Peugeot 205 T16
- List: Porsche 911

Wanted List Group: Jets
- List: F-14 Tomcat
- List: F-15 Strike Eagle

etc, etc. It can be purely cosmetic in the UI. So I don't want extra functionality
for groups. At least for now

Another request would be to have a quick filter (checkbox?) to hide completed
wanted lists. I know I can sort lists on completion, but hiding them can still
be useful.

Thanks for considering these options!

A happy user!
Bert

For sets there is a box entry but WHY NOT FOR GEAR?? the only way to sell the
boxes is by going through the set entry and then place a comment 'only the
box', but this is very confusing and not helping those who are actually selling
the gear that is complete.

And how difficult can it be??

wkr,
