|
| Hello! I am currently placing an order with one of the coolest store owners I've
come across, and he let me pay layaway for about 2 weeks when it hit me:
Why isn't there a layaway option? Obviously, this can benefit the seller,
and the lower-income buyers together, but before I continue, Let me explain
the concept of layaway:
Layaway is an option where you pay weekly, biweekly or monthly a set amount (agreed
on by both parties: buyer and seller) until the item is paid off.
For the seller, this means once the price is agreed on/the first payment is made,
they have to put the item aside (regardless on other buyers' offers after
an agreement is made between the first two parties)
For the buyer: This means the once the price is agreed on, you stick to the price
and stay faithful to the deal 'till the end. This also means communicating
with the seller for anything that should be noted such as change of payment account,
or change of address, etc. Missing your payment by one day could void the whole
transaction leaving the buyer at the mercy of the seller.
Both parties should remain as transparent as possible for the smoothest possible
transaction.
Due to people filing chargebacks on other people, it would be fair to give refund
permissions ONLY to the seller. This way, if the buyer breeches the contract,
or simply wants their money back, the seller could then decide if a refund is
warranted.
It's like a regular BL order, except its just broken up over time.
What do you guys think?

|
| Please show sellers whether or not they are currently eligible and showing up
as a highlighted store. Also, please be more specific in the description as to
how sellers are eligible or not, and maybe reduce the 6 month ban if they close
their store. Many reputable sellers close their stores from time to time, or
even daily, 6 months is a long time not to be eligible, just because they closed
their store for a day or two.
Thank you for considering this,
Darren

| I often check both the set value and part out value of a set before parting it
out. Why can't "Part Out Value" also show the average sales value of the
set as a whole too?

|
| For some time now we have had considerable difficulty in reconciling the fees
statement to our accounts system. The fees are always paid - there is no problem
there, but the fact that it is a summary rather than detail and the conversion
rates may or may not be different it makes it a job rather than just a quick
check.
We would like to see each store given the option to receive either the summary
or a detailed breakdown. The detailed breakdown should include each order the
store is being charged for the date and value of that order and the calculated
fee + currency conversion rate.
Those of us who do not deal in dollars would like that information available.
Those who don't require it can remain with the summary.
If the fees program is within the code for Bricklink, this should not be a complicated
change as it has all the info already. If it is in another system that would
have to be looked at but even today's most simple billing programs allow
for this type of information to be presented.

| Hi, buyer saw an item in my store and is sending a list of what he needs. I have
20,000+ parts to work through and it would be useful to allow him to view my
stockroom via a bypass password like you can allow access if your store is closed,
worth considering as an enhancement

|
| It would be nice if sellers could set a minimum order amount for domestic and
another for international.
Having to pay 4% to Paypal on money that goes to the USPS makes it a tough call
on accepting international orders.
I've been debating with myself on what to do with international and I think
having a separate minimum for domestic and international would help me figure
out a solution.
Maybe it would help others too.

|
| background: Buyers will, in many/most cases, shun used parts because there is
no formal method of sellers telling buyers what to expect. Buyers will always
turn to New parts, unless the supply of New parts is constrained, or the cost
of New parts is significantly above the cost of Used parts.
suggestion: Give sellers the ability to apply a simple 4-level rating system
to help buyers better distinguish what they will be receiving. The 4 levels are:
Like New - barely distinguishable, or indistinguishable, from New parts.
Average - Average playware, The usual scratches, and very minor nicks along sharp
edges.
Worn - Wear levels that include, but not limited to, ABC, heavily worn from years
(or generations) of playware.
Unrated - Parts which do not qualify as New, but the seller has not rated them
in one of the above 3 levels.
Thank You

| Before the upgrade, 'Seller Refuses Service' was displayed very clearly
when you entered a store. Now you can fill your cart only to find out when looking
at your cart that you cannot actually shop in a store.
Please make the "Seller Refuses Service" status more clear and as soon as possible!

|
| This one has been around a long time and unfortunately nothing seems to be happening
with it.
Bricklink needs to change the way the login/accounts function works. As a medium
sized store with an owner and 3 employees we need to allow the employees to log
into Bricklink and update store inventory, prices etc almost every day and as
things currently stand they have to use the owners login details (Poor security).
SQL, which is used for the database has quite a good security system built in
so even if we went native with that, it would be better than the current situation.
The same thing applies for stores with multiple locations - we have two processing
centres - one where all of our Lego inventory is stored, picked etc and one where
orders are packed and shipped from. Hence we want to set up a shipping from address
and a shipping to address. The fact that not all stores support the alternate
address system on Bricklink, as it currently stands means the only real way to
do this is using alternates on Paypal (for those that use Paypal).
So in summary - multiple logins to the stores with security/control permissions
and a minimum of 2 address for each store - one for ship from and 1 for ship
to.
As an afterthought it might not be a bad idea to allow store owners to have two
accounts - one for buying and one for selling, with the appropriate feedback
associated with each function. This might make a difference as to how people
look at a situation - In our case we have over 800 buying feedback and over 2000
selling feedbacks.

|
| I would like the file option to be available on all my 'orders placed'
regardless of the current order status.
I have had a couple of orders that I have placed where the seller has shipped
me the items, but for reasons unknown has left the status as either 'paid'
or 'packed'.
The seller is either not responding to my messages to update the status or doesnt
want to change the status and thus I am unable to file my order, until the status
is changed completed. I am unable to change the status while it is Paid or packed
the seller has complete control.
Many thanks

| Sales are typically slower in the spring/summer months(May, June, July ).
I found a statistics link which gives data through 2014. Are there plans to
update the numbers? Additionally, is it possible to show trending sets (what's
hot and what's not )?

|
| On the feedback page we now have a part which says how many cancelled orders
a seller has
The problem is, I look at that as a buyer and assume the seller cancelled it
and that makes me wobble a bit about buying.
Of course different people will see this number in different ways and alot of
folks wont even consider it at all.
So, I received an order and a couple of days later receive this email
"Thank you but I have sourced the parts from another seller with a different
order but he had stated at first he had none but it was I that was putting in
the wrong colour sorry to of wasted your time"
Fair enough, new user, small order, more than happy to cancel, its good customer
service
But, now, because of my willingness to be helpful I have this statistic on my
profile that suggests I cancel more than 5% of my orders and that makes me look
bad as a seller, my suggestion is simple:
Please consider either:
changing the cancellations counter so that it does not include circumstances
where the order has been cancelled by and OCR initiated by the buyer
OR (almost as good)
Seperate buyer and seller initiated cancellations so that buyers can make a more
educated choice as to whether a seller with lots of cancellations is providing
good customer service or is unreliable at fulfilling orders

|
| I am not even certain I think this is a good idea, but I had this thought.
Suppose Bricklink required that one pass a simple test, before being able to
sell on Bricklink.
The test would require that one be able to use the catalog, to verify the part
and color that they are offering for sale.
Such things as the length in dots (or diameter in case of something like a rubber
band) could be done with pictures (like showing something that is 5 lego dots
long, next to a Lego plate, aligned so one can see how many dots long it is,
and having them select the correct length from multiple choices).
Or maybe include some pictures of pieces in some colors that are close, but different
enough to easily identify.
Or maybe a better idea is to present sellers with a verification popup, when
listing certain part/color combinations.
- Anytime a color is listed, that is no longer in production, a popup asking
the seller to verify the color, and telling them the color has not been produced
since (year), would avoid some errors.
- Anytime it is a part/color combination, that is not one that is known to have
been in any set, a verification popup would be useful.

|
| Suggestion: Ask the community for feedback before implementing any new features
or creating new partnerships. It seems obvious that the BL admins are out of
touch with what direction the community would like to see BL go, so this would
be a great way to prevent asinine decisions.

|
| One thing that I think would be helpful on Bricklink is if there was a pop-up
warning whenever you try to leave a page that has been modified. I have seen
this on other sites, and it is easy for me to enter quantities for items I want
and then forget to add them to the cart before going to the next page. I'm
not sure if this is possible or practical with the current infrastucture, but
I think it would be useful.

|
| Hello,
It would sure help out a LOT if in the "download orders" list, you could separate
out the "Item Description" to be 3 separate columns: Type (brick, plate, tile,
slope, etc), Description (1x3, round, etc.), and Color, rather than it all combined.
This would make it MUCH easier to pivot by item number, type, color, etc.
Thanks!
Jeff

Change the address fields so the BL-subscriber can/must fill in his/her address
in the right format AND in the right order.
(the BL-subscriber is the onliest person in the world who knows his/her address
the best.)

as a seller i have too make too much changes in buyers addresses
(a waste of time)
if an address is wrong/not in the right format there are more chances for delivery
