| Pls add item code link on cart list.
This feature was available in previous versions.
This helps in reviewing cart items.

| I have mentioned it before but it seems it would work even better now with the
New chckout layout
I know we are not eBay or amazon, but the checkout now is simular and it would
be good for items you are not ready to buy in the current order but would like
to buy in the future. (Obviously if the seller still has it)
When you remove an item from your basket currently, you would have to find the
shop/item again, search again the store to find the item and add it again to
your basket.
Id rather it just be saved

| As there is almost constant changes going on in the catalogue stores need more
features to ensure they are up to date. For example - we received orders over
the weekends for many of our pieces which of course have been changed
to . I had to go to my inventory page for the part and change each and
everyone of these from 3794 to 3794a, That 'dropped 4 or 5 small images -
(we will re-do those photos and submit) but they had photos before we changed
them from 3794 to 3794a.Hmmmm
It is a very simple select and update query in SQL - surely one of the developers
can put together a screen to allow us to update multiple items in our inventory
at once. We are in the dark ages here really.
In addition I noticed yet another quirk which is simple enough to sort out but
untouched
We hold bulk amounts for many standard items (in the thousands of each of them)
and decided to set up a tiered pricing schedule for each of those taking 1p off
at each quantity break. Fine - it was still a manual exercise for over 100 items
but we went through that - only to find that we either had to repeat this each
time we added to that part or we would lose that tiered pricing. The options
on consolidate are far too limited. We need at least another method of new price
and retain old tiered pricing.
Neither of these changes require huge amounts of time or development effort but
both have needed doing for some time.
It may be a question of priorities or design or ????? but surely such simple
mods can be dealt with quickly and efficiently.
It does get exasperating sometimes. And Brickstock will not allow you to make
these changes offline and upload them either. We have tried that and failed.
We have also advised Patrick but he has gone missing at present.
Come on Bricklink - the stores need their tools (just like buyers, if not more
so)

| I have no real personal reason to be posting this suggestion and haven't
thought about what it would mean for my own business, but just something I want
to throw out there as I've been thinking about it for a while.
Why not separate professional sellers and private sellers? I mean with an icon,
a label, a colour, something like that. Right now there are private persons just
getting rid of some old parts they aren't using, and online stores that use
Bricklink as their platform. An entirely different world in every aspect, but
they will show up in exactly the same way.
For years and years there's this eternal clash going on between buyers and
sellers and it seems like they sometimes speak different languages when the buyers
demand "their rights" and the seller has no idea what they're talking about.
Much if not most of the grief going on on Bricklink may be caused by buyers buying
from private sellers and expecting business service. The main example I can think
of now is about whose problem it is when a package is lost, but also tax and
refund issues get confusing if it's unclear whether we're talking about
two people trading or about consumer rights.
So how about labels for private sellers and professional sellers?

| Quit marking orders that the buyer checks out using instant checkout as "ready".
Here is the definition of Ready.
https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=41
Ready - Items in order verified, shipping or any additional costs added. Seller
sends an Invoice to the buyer.
It is not possible for BrickLink to verify the items in the order, therefore
the order cannot be marked ready.
Thank you,

|
| I'm starting to get really frustrated now with Bricklink. Maybe you'll
reply?
Is the quote function broken? I had a quote come in 5 days ago and I had no notification
or anything regarding it. I only knew because the buyer messaged me last night.
This is not acceptable.
Your site has duplicated lots on numerous occasions, this is not acceptable.
Also on numerous occasions I've had customers tell me that they cannot checkout
after ironing out potential issues I have found out it's the site, not me.
I've lost money to this and again, this is not acceptable.
Most things you post are vague from every angle and you sit in the shadows whilst
everyone is up in question. Regardless of if the feedback is good or bad you
still push out the garbage updates anyway. This is not acceptable.
Your site is very slow at times and it's getting more and more frustrating
when trying to work. All of a sudden the site will grind to a standstill. This
is not acceptable.
Your ability to inventory used Lego is appalling. Why not work on this rather
than Brickarms? that's right. Money. If it won't make you money then
you won't bother. This is not acceptable.
I sell on BrickOwl too and I've never had a single issue. You may be the
market leaders currently but your cockyness will catch up with you soon. I pay
my monthly fees on time every time and this is the mess I have to work with?
Can't it just 'work'? Why is everything difficult and half made?
Not acceptable. I'm tired of apologising to customers because of the issues
on this site. I dread to think how many people have turned away from my store
and not said anything.
I'm just frustrated and the quote issue lastnight was the tipping point for
me. Fix your site.
I'm aware there's trolls on here so please keep your witty comments to
yourself.
Thanks

| In my opinion, icons that accurately represent functionality are a key part in
having a good interface. It has come to my attention that the icon of the Community
tab is outdated and needs improvement. Briklink has changed alot and the smiley
face simply does not suit a modern Bricklink where a forum is intended for poorly
informing the community of unwanted selfish business decisions only to ignore
the responses.
I've designed a better icon for this tab. Hope to see this implemented soon!

|
| I am sure there are lots of sellers who are waiting to see what enhancements
Bricklink as and when the finally release the sellers tools they hafve talked
about..
We would like to see a small modification done now to help on the 'add inventory
screens'. This would take a programmer less than an hour to accomplish and
it would aid most sellers.
When you manually add an item to your inventory you can do it in one of several
ways. When you go this route some things, which are important are missing.
From the main catalogue page for any given part choose Add to my inventory. This
takes you to the add inventory page and fills in some of the details for you
e.g. part no; colour etc, leaving you to add the quantity, price, condition and
any remarks you wish to make. You then click on the review item button at the
bottom and it takes you to the review item page where you do not see all the
relevant information No part no - no remarks. How can you really review the information
if it isn't all presented to review. Good memory? Maybe if you are only doing
the odd one, but if you are using this in anger it would be very helpful if the
review item page had the part no on it as well as the remarks field.
A similar situation occurs with the mass inventory upload. Once you paste your
xml file into the window you choose verify and all the parts in that file are
listed but instead of displaying the part nos for the items it drops them off
despite being in the xml upload.
Again a very minor programming job which would aid the sellers.
Think about it Bricklink. Make the site easier for us to use.
See images attached.

| Hello,
Although Bricklink is an America-based website, is serves a worldwide audiance
now.
My store is base in the Netherlands and I modified the emails from Bricklink
(like the invoice etc.). Now people get these bi-lingual. (Dutch and English)
The only way to make them uni-lingual again is by deleting the non-desired language-text.
It might be an idea to extend the 'List of E-Mail Conditional Block Macro
Tags' with a language-tag. When poeple prefer the text in Dutch, they can
get the Dutch-tekst, if the shop-owner provides it.
If this system is implemented, there should also be a default-tag for the text
that is to be used, if the desired language is not specified in the mail.
This will contribute to a better user-experiance.
As a web-developer, I realize that this is not easely implemented. But it might
be an idea to keep in mind for a next version of Bricklink.
With kind regards,
Carel ten Hove

|
| Hello,
A couple weeks ago when I had close to ten carts and tabs open (in addition to
several other non-BrickLink tabs), I found the miniature store logos in the tabs
to be very helpful for quick navigation to pertinent shops. (And I consequently
made my own quick logo for shoppers.)
As of about a week ago however, all tabs, including stores, now have the BrickLink
standard logo.
I don't know if this lost distinction is the result of a BrickLink site change
or something else. I use Windows 7 and Firefox 58 by the way.
Thanks for your time, Matthew

|
| The "buy wanted lists" feature currently suggests stores that have stop listed
the buyer if the other criteria the buyer uses are all met. This seems pointless.
Why does BL suggest a store that refuses to sell to the customer?
Of course, once I go to the store and find out I am stoplisted, I can least favourite
the store and then exclude least favourited stores from the wants list calculation,
but surely it should automatically exclude stores that refuse to sell to me (just
as I can exclude stores that will not ship to me).

|
| Hello,
The subject problem, or new shortfall, has been going on since the roll-out of
BrickLink 2.0.
When conducting an inventory search using the top-center field on each BrickLink
page, for example a search on "dark bluish gray wedge plate" as pictured, the
color gets dropped from the top-center field once the search results are posted.
This behavior is unlike a store search or Items-For-Sale parts search, where
the color is retained in the search field for possible follow-on searches using
the same color, a highly likely circumstance for many projects.
It would be nice if the color were also retained in the top-center field, given
the likelihood that a user will search their inventory for a different part of
the same color.
This desired trait or attribute or whatever term applies, would alleviate the
need to repeatedly type things like "dark bluish gray" under 2.0, just as it
did under 1.0.
Sincerely, Matthew

|
| Hello,
My pc needed a memory clearing and restart. Then with a goal of reopening my
present carts in individual tabs, I landed on the new (global) My Store Carts
page.
In the recent past, right-clicking on each listed store name with cart items
allowed me to quickly open a new tab for each different cart. From there, I
could continue to check for and verify parts in each store from tab to tab while
progressing on a rough build design. (I tend to search stores for common items,
and use the Wanted List for less-common ones, since the start-to-finish Wanted
List process is more cumbersome than simply shopping, and since numerous varying
parts are needed to ensure builds work, are solid, and are in desired colors.)
Now I can no longer open new tabs from the My Store Carts page (nor is it possible
from upper-right cart icon drop-down store options, btw). Furthermore after
clicking on View Cart, a new cart page shows up which is vague on how to shop
in the store associated with the new cart page. (This vagueness is different
than the weird "Search in this store" claim made in the store search field --
weird because it's inaccurate when confined to Wanted List items. However
I am reminded of it, since the similarity is that I don't see how newcomers
are supposed to figure out such unclear or absent navigation information.)
Back to the topic:
Prior steps from prior store carts summary page:
1. Right click on store name;
2. Open store cart in new tab
New and maybe "improved" steps since the above process is now not possible from
the My Store Carts page:
1. Open new tab;
2. Type or Copy & Paste "bricklink.com" into address field;
3. Hover over cart icon and click on View Cart in the drop-down options (By
the way, this generates a new page in which the pertinent store name is not readily
evident in the tab when multiple tabs are open. Instead this tab-name space
is now primarily taken up with the less informative word "BrickLink".);
4. In lieu of having a clear option to continue shopping on the newly opened
page, click on the store name to see what happens -- store shopping page
opens
So assuming one does not want to see the different and more familiar shopping
cart view from the shopping page (i.e. Step 5), the new process is twice as long
as the one which existed a few days ago. (And it involves the creation of a
wholly new alternate shopping cart page, which is interesting.)
In and of itself the above comparison shows only two added steps. However cumulatively
over the course of a project and over months, it adds hundreds and thousands
of new steps to individual shopping, and for the community I guess millions or
billions of newly required user steps are added. And such additions are the
norm, which is now not-so-surprisingly accepted by BrickLink the company.
In short, many visualizations have been spread out and many new process steps
added -- these are the two overarching design elements of BrickLink 2.0,
with some but few exceptions. And some processes get broken along the way and
seemingly left in the dust to never be repaired (e.g. My Store Shopping Settings
... more hundreds, thousands, millions, and possibly billions of added navigation
steps ... to now do this formerly-once task over and over and over again).
I suggest that BrickLink (a) never make previous processes longer; (b) stop spreading
out data to minimize customers' need to scroll and page; and (c) focus on
repairing existing problems in lieu of new page roll-outs.
Sincerely, Matthew

| Hello,
I have noticed several times that the shopping cart is not working properly when
the cart icon is located at the top right browser window. For some reason the
"View Cart" button is hidden and I have no access to jump directly to the shopping
cart of the corresponding brick shop owner.
The cart works with the centered page layout, however when the cart icon is fixed

Is there a chance to improve this?

|
| Hi, I'm not sure if it's actually a suggestion. It might be already in
place, but I'm just missing it?
I'm unsure if I can see my invoices (both for orders I have placed as for
orders I have sold) in BL. For all I know, they only get sent by email. Which
is kind of annoying, since I have to switch back & forth between the website
and my mailbox to complete orders. E.g. for searching out the IBAN number that
was in the invoice.
Not only that, but sometimes a buyer requests another sending method, which will
alter the price. It would be very useful to have kind of a version history on
the invoices of a single order.
In general, I believe email is fine for notifications, but all data should be
inside BL, including the generated invoices.
If it isn't: it would be very useful to store the invoices.
If it is: can someone tell me where to find them?
Thanks all!

The order download feature is clumsy and nor set out to work in today's IT
environment. Please bring it up to date and provide choice for which columns
that the user wishes to download. Choosing include details is insufficient. More
people would use this feature if the flexibility in design was improved.
Bring the formats up to date as well as even Excel 2010 is unhappy with the MS
excel download. Stop combining the colour field with the description field etc.,
etc etc.
If improvements here are planned for sellers tools, please let us know and provide
an anticipated delivery date for that. We want to download our orders into our
off-line system and at present this is a totally manual exercise.
Those of us who use off-line systems need more flexibility to deal with data

We haven't pout this as a suggestion cause quite honestly we do not feel
that route works very well at all.

|
| Hello,
I thought of a suggestion for the shopping cart:
Let's say you're ordering off a wanted list that gets broken up into
4 orders. So you've got 4 carts full of items.
What if... there was a button that could compare the items in your 4 carts against
the other cart's stores to see if the other stores have those items for cheaper.
Then you could have the option to adjust quantities in the carts and buy from
the other seller. I sometimes manually do this.. but it's kind of hard and
time consuming.
For example say you need 5 4x4 plates. And you have them in Cart #1 @ $0.35 each.
But after running the tool it is found that Cart #2's shop has 2 of those
4x4 plates for $0.15 each. Then you could adjust the quantities of cart #1 to
be 3 and then add the 2 @ $0.15 from the cart #2.
Does that make sense? I could explain it better if needed. I love all the tools
bricklink has that make getting the best price possible. I think this would be
a nice feature that would even further help.
Also... I'm a programmer. So if you need to me to implement this feature.
I'll do it.  I've got some other ideas too..
