|
| 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,

Author: | calsbricks | Posted: | Oct 5, 2015 10:17 | Subject: | Change to the way Bricklink Present fees | Viewed: | 158 times | Topic: | Suggestions | Status: | Discarded | |
|
| 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.

| 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

Author: | calsbricks | Posted: | Jan 8, 2016 02:54 | Subject: | Bricklink logins/accounts | Viewed: | 268 times | Topic: | Suggestions | Status: | Discarded | |
|
| 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 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'

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.

Author: | bagelboybugle | Posted: | Jan 30, 2017 16:50 | Subject: | Stats: Don't count buyer cancellations | Viewed: | 188 times | Topic: | Suggestions | Status: | Discarded | |
|
| 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.

| 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.

|
| Hello,
I hope someone from the Bricklink team reads me.
Here is my suggestion: why not expand Bricklink towards Playmobil products?
While the AFOP community isn't quite as vibrant as the AFOL community, there
are many adult fans of Playmobil out there (including me) who have been sharing
and buying/selling for years now on different internet forums. We even have our
own sets/parts database at playmodb.org
But this community lacks a global and well-organized marketplace like Bricklink.
So why not expand? It would be a bit of work from the Bricklink team's part,
but adapting Bricklink's framework to Playmobil products should be doable,
especially if you use the playmodb database which would spare you quite some
trouble. And it ultimately would mean more money for you.
I'd very much like you to consider this project. If playmolink or klicklink
or whatever its name was ever created, I'd certainly be the first to set
up shop and do publicity on your behalf to the AFOP community.
Thank you for your attention and have a nice day

| Improvements to the invoicing capabilities from within Bricklink. When the development
team are evaluating the things they wish to include in their next release e.g.
tools for the stores, inventory management etc, please do not ignore the invoice.
We need the ability to include graphics (e.g. store logo) and provide the ability
to use attachments as well as design our own. Almost all modern systems allow
for this.
It is a marketing tool and needs to be used as such - not what we currently have.

|
| It looks like the payment method is set default to PayPal.
There's no option for the seller to change this.
This will cause at least more domestic orders with PayPal as payment method.
I'm sure most sellers (and even buyers) are not happy with this.
I would prefer to be able to choose the default payment method myself(as a seller).
Just like the shipping methods, default for
- all buyers
- domestic buyers
- international buyers
Or even better, for both shipping method ánd payment method:
- all
- domestic
- EU
- International outside EU
But this is asked for many times already during the past years.
Since Bricklink does make the difference between EU and non-EU with VAT, it
also
should be possible for these methods.
As long as it is not possible for a seller to choose the default payment method
for at least domestic and international buyers, I would prefer Bricklink to
remove
this default for all buyers.

Author: | calsbricks | Posted: | Jul 5, 2016 03:21 | Subject: | Lego v Bricklink colours | Viewed: | 188 times | Topic: | Suggestions | Status: | Discarded | |
|
| I am aware that this has been suggested many times before by various people and
unfortunately nothing has ever been done about it but perhaps now is the time
to bring it back up.
When a new used comes to Bricklink they are faced with lots of hurdles - they
will not recognise the Bricklink part numbering system; and in lots of cases
the colours as many of them have totally different names.
The Lego stores also call colours differently e.g. Dark Blue to them is their
standard blue brick and if you ask for Earth Blue - they often look at you with
a puzzled look, even though that is an official Lego Colour name. The same with
Green etc.
So, with that in mind could the Bricklink developers not come up with a better
idea than the current colour chart for the catalogue. Perhaps similar to the
very old and outdated Peeron one.
It would help the new buyers - and after all we give them the option to key in
the number at the back of the Lego instructions to find a part (and little do
they know by using that number they get the part in the correct colour).
Bricklink want to encourage new buyers and as a store we want that as well -
but let us give them the tools do make it easier for them not more complicated.

|
| Please implement standard deviation.
By eliminating the (small number)% cheapest and (small number) % most expensively
priced lots, the average price index would be "more statistically significant"
in scientific terms ( less error margin ).
This is only necessary for items that have at least e.g. 10 distinct lots for
sale.
Why this suggestion ?
Yesterday i noticed one particular seller set all his prices at ( BL avg x 10000
). This caused average price index "lots for sale" to be inflated at least
tenfold.
Someone else suggested he made a mistake in currency.
If this one shopkeeper persists, unwanted "extreme" inflation may occur on several
very common items, and those lots - for sellers not paying attention when adding
to their inventory - might become impossible to sell.

Author: | Shintaku | Posted: | Aug 6, 2016 03:56 | Subject: | No feedback for cancelled orders | Viewed: | 182 times | Topic: | Suggestions | Status: | Discarded | |
|
| Hello,
Can someone explain me why are feedback allowed for cancelled orders?
Example: I have a buyer, who bought hundreds of euro of stuff from me. After
7 days you can start a NPB. After 14 days you can cancel the order if you are
lucky that they do not reply. If they reply, it needs 21 days to cancel the order.
If you cancel the order BEFORE 21 days, they can leave a negative feedback.
If you cancel the order after those 21 days, they cannot leave a negative feedback.
So I usually wait 21 days (or 14 if I am lucky).
Thus, people can block hundreds of euro worth of lego from your store for 21
days. Yes, they will have a penalty, but it's however a big loss for a seller.
I believe that it would be more useful if no feedback for cancelled order was
allowed.
Please if I am not correct help me to be corrected.

| When a part is listed with color (not applicable), the sample image is white.
When listing white parts, this can cause confusion because they wouldn't
come up in a search for white and the error is hard to detect. When the parts
are actually some other color, the confusion is more obvious.
Perhaps the Not Applicable image could be a line drawing or otherwise altered.

|
| The catalog is littered with parts that have very likely been uploaded under
the wrong color. Look at 4495 for example, I would guess that 6 of those colors
with lots under them are just listed incorrectly (bright pink, dark blue-violet,
dark purple, Maersk blue, pink, rust).
* | | 4495 Flag 4 x 1 Wave Undetermined (Undetermined Type) Parts: Flag Marked for Deletion |
This shouldn't happen when parting out new sets, but when listing used parts,
it seems some sellers don't check against current listings or against the
"known colors" data for the part they are listing, and they end up picking whatever
they want.
I would like to suggest that a control mechanism be put in place to help address
this. Maybe if a seller is adding a part to their store that is not a known color,
there can be a popup saying "this is not a known color for this part - are you
sure?". Maybe the pop-up can contain a list of the known colors to choose from.
If the seller is confident they have a "new" color, they can click "this part
is not a known color" to proceed with the listing.
Ideally, this would flag the entry with a tag that can be used in searches and
wanted list notifications. I would love to pick a part and ask to be notified
when one is listed in a "new color", or to be able to search within categories
for parts in new colors.

not sure if this is a bug or not, but for me it looks like it is not possible
to upload a store logo with transparency. That seems strange, because BL even
requests it to be a png-file. The standard logo has a transparent background,
but whatever I do, my store logo won't show with transparency.
Thanks!

It would be nice and useful to see a small flag matching the

Is this something possible?

| I've been thinking, I really think Bricklink should come up with an app (for
android and apple, obviously).
Personally, I find it very difficult to use any website on a browser on my tablet,
and a smaller screened smartphone would be no better. As such, I rarely ever
use bricklink on my tablet, just because it is so difficult. I know there is
the "mobile site", but I'm figuring that's just the same desktop site,
enhanced for mobile devices (am I wrong? Please correct if I am). I Don't
find it's better at all. It still has the upper "tabs" (Shop, community,
my BL, etc, etc) which on desktop requires a hover to use, most of the time.
On my tablet, I'm constantly using the "normal" version and using "use desktop
version", which really isn't any different or any better.
Anyway, consider other major sites (facebook, ebay, amazon, amazon seller, paypal,
gmail, how many others am I not including?) that one can visit on a browser OR
an app. All those aren't just 5% different versions of the same desktop site,
they are designed ground up for tablets/phones. I think bricklink could do very
well to come up with one. I KNOW I'd use it all the time. Heck, I've
even be willing to pay the typical .99 for it.
Has there been talk of an app in the past that I've missed, or is my idea
totally, 100% new?

| Respectfully recommend an auto-ban of any user that requests a seller lie on
customs forms based on a specific criteria (e.g., 5 unique seller complaints
for the same username). Note this in the buyer guide/help context (against the
rules, fraud, account will be auto-banned).
Worse, some buyers are punishing sellers by leaving negative feedback when they
are merely being good, fair-minded citizens that are following federal regulations
and complying with the LAW.
My understanding is that this is not the first time this has been requested.
Seems to me this could be a field appended to the existing database that is populated
by admins based on seller complaints as a regulatory-minded service to the seller
community.

| Hi all,
New sellers are supposed to offer only “PayPal with Purchase Protection,”
or to be first vetted by BrickLink administration. ( http://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=2440
)
I’d suggest that the “not vetted” status of new sellers be made clearly visible,
so that buyers (especially unexperienced ones) would know to only use PayPal
with them (even if the seller has a “my Paypal is borken” excuse).
This idea first came as a “badge” showing vetted/non-vetted status but I don’t
think a tiny logo/link beside their username would do.
Maybe a more prominent information box (splash?) in their store would be more
useful.
That information would be shown until the store has “enough credit history” to
be able to use other payment methods (as the “vetted” sellers).
Thoughts?

| Well known problem
http://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=983078
solution
* If some item(s) get removed/sold/etc generate an automatic Item Removal Request
(IRR), stating what has happened. At the same time, give the buyer a singe click
solution to cancel the quote request all together, in case the missing item poses
an issue.
OR
* just create an action item for both buyer and seller, leave it for them to
solve it but DO NOT auto-cancel the whole thing. Make is so the invoicing is
impossible if the item(s) were not removed from the quote via IRR (I guess it
would require to create an item removal request process from a QUOTE)
OR
AUTO-CANCEL the quote, but give the buyer a single-click solution to place the
same quote request again, where the missing items are excluded.
OR
* whatever else.. just do it quick, please. Whatever it will be, please keep
in mind that new buyers often use the quote-request thing without having a slightest
clue what it's for. Whatever will happen after *items are now missing form
the quote request*, MAKE SURE that it is, first and foremost, new-user friendly.

|
| I am not sure these have all been covered completely before or it may have
been in several different items/issues, but we would like to see the following
improvements in the next release of Bricklink.
1. Improve the colour samples to include larger swatches, Lego Colour Name; Pantone;
CMYK, RGB. It might even help to include the Peeron Colour name. Colours are
very important to lots of people and they also have a direct bearing on pricing
(unlike Lego)
2. Improve the images in the catalogue both small and large. Remove sketches
and where there are subtle differences between parts e.g. ....a and ....b make
it clear what those are (in photos of course).
3. Major issue with tire and wheel identifications. The relationship idea helps
somewhat as does the visual wheel thing, but neither are complete and they are
not kept up to date. Where Lego has a part number fine, but many do not or it
is impossible to read. Considering Lego are the world's largest tire manufacturer
we should do better here.
4. Our age old - please allow multiple users to have access to the stores. The
larger the store, the more likely there is more than one person dealing with
it and all of the individuals need to be able to get in with different permissions,
as required. We are based in two locations and share access to the store at both.
That is not ideal, as you can imagine, and of course with only one login everyone
can do everything.
There are many. many more itmes to be dealt with but the suggestion forum does
not seem to be the best place to get things moving.

Author: | TMM | Posted: | Jul 19, 2013 05:37 | Subject: | BL 2.0 - Storage & Remarks | Viewed: | 198 times | Topic: | Suggestions | Status: | Discarded | |
|
| Hi Everyone,
I know that a lot of what's being suggested is already implemented however
most of the people posting the topic didn't know so I'm sorry if this
is something which is ready available in BL or a third party program to which
I am unaware.
My suggestion comes around the storage and remarks system, after all most of
us stock more parts, and a larger breakdown of parks than your average online
store.
Point A.
Firstly, when I part out a new set and I choose to consolidate old remarks I
don't find out if the item has any previous remarks until I have entered
the remarks myself.
I would personally like to see you choose to part out a set and a list come up
of all the parts that are in that set which you already have in store and the
remarks section to be pre-filled with where you have the same item in the same
condition, allowing you to quickly put away all the parts you already have in
stock.
Then the next page would show you the parts which you don't already have
in your inventory and you would add those parts just like you do now, filling
in the fields you require.
I know this may not be an option to everyones taste but I think it would make
my life easier, so perhaps just the option to have a set up like this or similar
would be nice.
Point B.
To take this further I thought about a system where you documented your storage
system for example I use small boxes which are numbered. I use an excel document
to mark what is in each box by colour, category, part type and condition.
So what if I loaded those details into a database and the database told me what
I had in each box based on the remarks field and what I have said should be in
there for example...
All new 2x2 tiles should be stored in box 20.
I add that to the database.
I can then use the database to see what is in box 20 and based upon my inventory
it says I have the following;
x1 Black New 2x2 tile
x4 Yellow New 2x2 tile.
This would allow me to do a stock check much faster, and would allow me to find
errors not just on the stock levels but on remarks. In addition to this I think
if this was successfully implemented it would remove the need for remarks when
stock counting and order picking all together.
But what about when your listing items...
Well...
Based upon what I have entered into the database... that all new 2 x 2 tiles
should be stored in box 20 the system could provide me with a storage recommendation
even if I for example don't have that colour in the box already it would
see that the tile is in new condition, it is a category tile, and the size is
2 x 2 therefore based on what I have entered it should be stored in box 20.
I hope this makes sense, and I hope you all say it's something which I haven't
found yet but is ready available because I want it NOW!! haha.
Thanks

|
| Hello
I also have a proposal that could be implemented without much effort.
Everybody sees in all Shoplists (summaries), only the total number of stones.
I am of the opinion that the number of different lots is also an important information.
Example:
Shop A - 1,500,000 Stones but only 100 lots
Store B - 50,000 but 10,000 Lots
If I had many different stones Store B is much more interesting, for me.
But you find not so good such stores, because the Lots are not indicated in the
tables. (Store B looks at first glance less attractive as Store A.)
You always have to go into every shop to see the number of lots.

|
| Superlots are a great way to list multiple items for sale together. However,
superlots are confusing and difficult for many to bother setting up. To help
increase the usage of superlots and avoid misunderstandings with buyers regarding
what items do or do not go together, I suggest that BrickLink add pre-set
system generated superlots. These superlot templates would be created by contributors
to the BL catalog. Thus, for example, when adding a collectible minifigure to
the BL catalog, the submitter can also have the option to submit a superlot that
others can use to sell that minifigure with accessories as a superlot. Similar
superlots can be proposed for commonly paired items - like windows and glass,
window/door frames and their matching window or door, right and left wedges,
etc. When listing these items for sale in one shop, BL can simply offer sellers
the option of listing in an already existing system generated superlot. Just
fill in the blanks for quantity and price.

| When a listing gets reported and action "from the above" not yet taken, highlight
that listing (in-store) in red and/or place a WARNING Icon next to it.
This way potential buyers will be aware that there is potentially something wrong
with that listing, and pay some attention to the extended description (which
is usually the reason why listings get reported).
This would open the gates for abusive reporting, but it is possible to put some
safeguards for that if you really want.

If BL sees the forum as only a peer-to-peer communication location that should
be made clear.
Or that only posts in suggestions, problem, problem orders, news, help and administrative
will be monitored? Topics monitored by BL staff should be noted on the topics
page.
I think the BL forum is different than that from other game and software company
forums. And should be seen and a public communication tool for the BL team in
the way that other companies use Facebook or Twitter. And they monitor those
feeds very closely.
When a post is started by or participated in my a BL staff member I think some
are under the impression that they read all posts in the thread. Comments by
BL staff indicate otherwise.

| For sorting search results.
Say you want 240 of some part, you put in "Min Qty: 240"
Seller 1 has "500x at 0.10 each"
Seller 2 has "400x at 0.12 each; buy 50 or more for 0.09 each"
The current sort will show seller 1 first, but the cheapest option (all other
things being equal) would be seller 2.
A Sort by "Best Price at Min Qty" would sort by the price of the highest bulk
tier under the specified "Min Qty" of each listing.
Another option could take into account savings if the min qty is near a bulk
tier. E.g. Seller 3 has "buy 250 or more for 0.08 each" - buying 250 from this
seller costs less than buying 240 from seller 2.

| BrickLink should setup a system where a seller would need to have a credit card
to sell on BL, and BL charges the seller a small amount (say $5) to setup the
store, and activate it, and verify the seller's information that is on BL against
the credit card.
The $5 would offset any costs associated with checking names/addresses. Once
BL has a card # and a charge on it, they can verify the name and address to the
card, and they know that they are dealing with a real person, at a real address.
Or, maybe make this an option, and have a store icon that shows that the seller
is verified.
Or, perhaps make this a requirement only if the seller wishes to sell high value
products, or lots of items valued at a high value.
I would gladly do this for my store, to show that I'm legit and serious about
selling.

Resistance is futile.

| Would be nice to have the ability to make one or more wanted lists "public" so
that if a link was provided to the list other folks could see the list. This

In my mind, this would be a check box on the wanted list settings (and creation)

[X] Public List
It would be useful in facilitating purchases for gifts (like little Tommy wants
a bunch of batman minifigs so he adds it to his wish list so grandma can buy
one for him by viewing his list), and for facilitating trading because people
can see what the seller would like as payment for the trade items.
Everything else about the wanted list would work the same as it does now - except
that if viewing by someone other then the owner there would be no editing fields
available.

If it gets out of hand NO SUPPORT AT ALL BY MODS/ADMIN/G-D.

| There may be an action for this that is similar and I don't know about it, but
here is my random suggestion anyway.
I operate out of two locations, one location has my personal collection (home),
and my apartment has my store. I commonly visit home and need items from my store
at my apartment. I believe it could be nice to have the ability to shop in your
own store and place an order with your self, that way you have a nice record
of everything you want to take from your own store and it would remove it from
your own store in one action. OF COURSE!! you would not be able to feedback
yourself, and this transaction would not effect the price guide, it would have
to be a separate system. For example, you build your cart in your own store,
and on the check out page select "personal order" so that your "order" is not
technically a Bricklink order. I hope this makes sense. And if something like
this exist, please let me know because I will use it like crazy!

A formal suggestion to update to the Help Desk to include:
"BrickLink is fully committed to fair and honest competition among all sellers
who use this site. Compliance with applicable laws is the best means by which
to ensure that such competition is fair and honest. Although it is not BrickLink's
job to police or enforce those laws, for the benefit of the entire BrickLink
community and to put into practice the commitment noted above, we reserve the
right to take action against any members we reasonably believe have violated
any laws to gain an unfair competitive advantage over other members. Such action
may include a warning, temporary suspension of site privileges, or termination
of membership for repeat offenders. We believe a clean honest marketplace best
serves the interests of BrickLink and all its members. If you cannot play fairly
with others, you may be asked to play elsewhere."
In addition, add "Buyer requested customs fraud" as a reason for sellers to cancel
an order AND to remove feedback (but, for feedback removal, only if the request
is made in the Order Comments or via a BrickLink message which can be easily
confirmed by Admin, or if undisputed by the buyer).

Without sounding rude..... the reasons are known to all of us why, but no suggestions
have been implemented since September so is the new Admin going to do them or
is Bricklink now running as good as it is ever going to run with no more implemented

| The responses to this got me thinking:
http://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=498526
Would committees be a good thing for BL?
I suggest a committee of 3 people for Listing violations: Have the problem reports
sent to 3 members (maybe even conceal the store/user name) and let them vote.
2 votes and the listing gets removed.
I'm sure we would be able to find members for a committee of 3 or maybe 5 very
quickly and that decisions on listings would be decided very quickly.
Obviously Admin and/or the CO would be able to appoint/remove those committee
members and Admin and maybe the CO would also be able to overrule them.

|
| Ok, I have two different ideas to solve the problems with wanted lists timing
out. Here is solution one, solution two will follow shortly, please just vote
on the one you think might be the best way to address this.
So, when a seller uploads a large number of lots, and then attempts to notify,
the system can time-out due to too many emails being sent. When a seller tries
to send the notifications, a certain number are sent, and then the system stops
them from being sent. If the seller tries again, the same number of notifications
are sent, and then the system stops them at about the same point. This appears
to the buyers that have received multible emails from said seller, that the seller
is trying to spam them, when in fact they are just trying to send out notifications
once. Here is the real problem, this seller can no longer send out correct notifications,
because the original notifications remain in the system as "unsent". If they
add more lots, and try again, it repeats the cycle shown above, sending the same
people notifications.
Please allow sellers to "clear notifications", so that if they have too many
lots to notify, they can start over, and continue to add notifications at a later
date, only for new lots.
Again, please check my other suggestion, and vote on the best idea to solve the
problem.
Thanks so much,

the help of some sellers, perhaps keeping track of some uploads, and notifications.
the info could be used to come up with a realistic number of lots that most likely
would not time out.

| Hello,
Love the wanted list, but a few things are hit and miss. I think one of the misses
is when browsing a store with a large wanted list, you often get multiple hits
for items (new & used) so I figured why not choose which you want to see when
you get to a store.
Here's what it could look like.

|
| I do know 'pending items' are pending for a reason: no one offically has them
yet, Lego has not released them for sale or display. However, I'm assuming the
people who add certain 'pending items' to the catalog have inside info that the
general population doesn't have. Please let me know if I am wrong, but items
that are currently pending have a high probably of officially being released?
My suggestion would allow items pending on Bricklink (i.e. soon-to-be-released
sets) to be added to an individual's wanted list now. That way someone could
be notified as soon as someone else on Bricklink is either selling the set or
inventorying it.
Example: I'm very interested in set 8110-1 Unimog U400. When will it officially
come out? Either I have no general idea, or I've missed a thread somewhere giving
these details. Or maybe I suck at Online researching. What better, and more lazy,
idea than to let Bricklink's wanted list notifications send me a message?
Just throwing another suggestion on the table for ya'! Thanks for reading,

Let's say I'm looking for one of these:
I add it to My Wanted List as a "New" conditioned set. I also want it to be
"Complete" or "Sealed". There is no option for this, so when I look for the
set through my wanted list, I see new sets, but not necessarily complete or sealed
sets.
I have to manually check the shops to see if it's not just the "Jeep Only" or
something like that.
Do you think that we could get something that would add a sub-condition to the
filter for wanted lists?
If there is something like this already, please reply with a link and let mods
cancel the thread.

|
| I would like to recommend that after placing items in a shopping cart, my wanted
list gets updated to indicate that the item/quantity that has been allocated
for purchase (in x shopping cart at y store for example).
The justification is that I frequently find that not all my wanted list items
are satisfied by one vendor so I end up exerting alot of effort to manage what
I've allocated and what's remaining.
With this feature it could be possible to better determine the full actual cost
of the wanted list collection before committing to a purchase - which would be
the case today. This feature would allow shoppers to maximize the lowest price
or most convenient approach to purchasing parts before making any actual commitment.

|
| There should be an option to get both the "Cheapest Match" and "Close Match"
for your Wanted list.
Cheapest Match Idea: This would compare stores that have all of your wanted
items and meet the minimum quantity needed by total price. It could calculate
the total cost to buy all of those items at the minimum quantity from each store
within the results and compare them in order to provide the cheapest store with
the best overall price. I have seen stores that have all my items charging $600
for the parts and then seeing another store with the same parts charging less
than $150. It would be nice to know which store is the cheapest for my particular
wanted list right off the bat rather than sifting through and filling 100s of
carts with items just to find out manually.
Close Match Idea: For example if you have 3 items set with a minimum quanity
of say 30x, there could be a store that has 30x of two items wanted and only
29x of the third item and because of that the store won't show at all. When
in reality it would be helpful to use that store if there is nothing better just
to minimize the amount of separate orders needed to fulfill your needs. If it
showed close matches it would not only offer more options but would eliminate
the need to keep changing your wanted list quantities trying to find a store
that carries all of your items closest to the quantity you need. So you could
get 29 of that item and know that you only need to add 1x that part in another
order to complete your wanted list.
So you would have the following filters:
Exact Match - The current feature that will only show stores with all your wanted
items that meet the minimum requirement set.
Close Match - This would show stores that have all of your wanted items but a
few of them do not meet the minimum requirement. It could maybe calculate that
at least 90% of the items wanted meet the minimum requirement OR it could calculate
whether all of the items meet at least 80-90% of the minimum requirement. Whichever
produces the best results.
Thanks for reading.

|
| Scenario:
I have a number of wanted lists, one for each set that is missing items
Some of these lists are low or high priority for me to complete - may be by theme
(it would be nice to link a wanted list to an actual set and/or theme by the
way!)
Some of the list items also have a ranking amongst themselves. For example the
missing item might be structural - can't build set without it - or minor
like an accessory.
Current approach:
Use text in remarks and wanted list name to assist with priority
Ideal:
A simple low/med/high or 1 (high) to 5 (low) priority rank flag on the wanted
list and wanted list items
Ability to set the default value
Ability to use this flag in any search that involves the wanted list - e.g. by
shop

but it doesn't tell us if something goes on sale after it's already been

Author: | activoice | Posted: | Nov 8, 2014 06:10 | Subject: | add to wanted list by combination code | Viewed: | 90 times | Topic: | Suggestions | Status: | Discarded | |
|
| Suggestion is to be able to add parts to my wanted list using the combination
code (includes part # and color) instead of just the part number.
It would be a lot easier for data entry if we could use another field to add
items using the combination code.
So instead of having to enter 4265c and then pick a color of light bluish gray,
it would be a lot easier if I could just enter 4211573.
Also in the Lego instructions parts are listed using this combination code.
So this would be really helpful when creating wanted lists based on Lego instructions
and would save a step when building wanted lists.
Also an additional suggestion would be to add a new tag to the XML for combination
number. So in additon to using itemid, and color I could enter the combo number
and when uploaded the site would translate that into the item id and color.
The information is already in the bricklink database this just makes it available
for selection.

| Not sure if this has been suggested before but I didn't find it in a cursory

It would be nice if you could mass-select the Notify checkbox for all the items
in the edit view of a wanted list, just like you can do with the Move, Delete,
and Query Shops options.
For instance, I uploaded an XML wanted list (omitting the NOTIFY tag) - now I'd
like to change them all to NOT notify without having to select each item's checkbox
individually.
I could be missing a setting that dictates the default value for NOTIFY when
uploading items but this would still be a useful addition I think. Thoughts?

|
| Just a thought, since the team isn't busy enough fixing real problems like bugs
and rules....
A quick glance at the calendar shows over 10,000 lots being added per day.
Yes you can filter a search, but doing this daily, and filtering down to a small
number of potential items that might get listed once a day, week or month is
tedious and generally not worth it but makes me think - wouldn't it be good if
for sellers of sets or parts, that they could advertise in a dedicated forum
topic with drill down by sub-category as per the buying function, that they'd
uploaded something for sale.
This would help sellers and buyers alike. If everyone flooded the general sales
topic, it would be flooded, and not everyone is looking for someone's latest
mass inventory of a thousand unrelated parts.
Just a thought - what do others think?

|
| I am a fairly new user to Bricklink and am trying to "Part Out" some modular
buildings.
First off, the tools to part out and manipulate parts are awesome, 2 thumbs up.
What I (and many others) experience is the debilitating task of finding the cheapest
order (optimum number of stores with lowest piece price).
At the moment I can see who has the most parts I am looking for (assuming they
haven't multi-listed the same part - GRRR!)
or
I can see the seller with the lowest price for each part.
I can also see how many parts my favorite sellers have.
----------------------------------------------------------
What I would like to see is to use my favorite sellers (ideally an additional
"Active" sellers List).
When looking at my wanted list(s) I would like the option to show "Active" sellers
first.
Reasoning:
As I find sellers with multiple, low price parts, I can add them to my active
list.
My wanted list will show Active sellers at the top (With a Star like the by shop
listing)
Parts without active sellers are easily identified and still need an active seller
found for them.
After I have found an active seller for all (most) parts, I would then be able
to easily select the cheapest active seller for each item.
----
An extra feature could be an automatic Move to active seller wanted list.
So, my "Set10101" Wanted list could be automatically (based on lowest price)
be moved to "Set10101-SellerABC","Set10101-SellerEFG","Set10101-SellerHIJ", Wanted
lists.
More functionality:
Option to suppress items with an active seller already found.
That way I can concentrate on finding sellers for the remaining parts.
Thanks,
Dirac

Current amount in stock
Minimum to stock
Past 6 month and current Avg price
We have started to try and keep certain items in certain colors available in

| When buyers cut and paste their shopping carts and send it to you via a BL message,
please clearly state the quantity wanted by the buyer.
This should be obvious, but I just received a shopping cart via the BL message
system where only the "quantity available" is stated, and NOT the quantity wanted
by the buyer. Here are some examples:

As you can see from the above, nowhere does it state the quantity in the buyer's
cart. Instead, it states only the quantity I have available. This is very confusing
when the buyer wants LESS than the total quantity available. From the above,
the only way to determine the quantity wanted by the buyer is to manually divide
the "Total" lot price by the price for "each" item in that lot (something the
system should easily do itself automatically). Doing that, I found that my buyer
wanted only:
3 of the 5 Iron Man figures I have,
2 of the 4 Tauriel figures I have,
4 of the 8 Republic Trooper 1 figures I have,
4 of the 8 Republic Trooper 2 figures I have,
10 of the 16 lion bricks I have, and
8 of the 36 LBG 4x12 bricks I have.
I had packed ALL of these items using the "Quantity available" figure and only
noticed the buyer wanted less when I weighed the package and found it weighed
almost double what it was supposed to. Without clearly stating the actual quantity
wanted by the buyer, sellers can become misled or confused by the "Quantity available"
number. I truly don't understand why the quantity wanted by the buyer is
not clearly stated. Please fix this. Thank you.
