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

Regards

Andrew

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.

I suggest that BrickLink remove all links to LUGNET from catalog pages.

I just tried to use the LUGNET website and it does not appear to be functional
anymore.

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

Would like to see the Bricklink messaging system offer options for plain Text,
Rich Text and html if possible. This would allow the use of formatting where
required or needed.

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.
