Part No: 49699  Name: Panel 1 x 6 x 4 1/3 with Window and 4 Pin Holes

49699 Panel 1 x 6 x 4 1/3 with Window and 4 Pin Holes
Parts: Panel

I can't discover anything panel-ish about this part. I'd say it's
window, door, technic, other, vehicle, or pretty much anything except a panel...
What do you think it should be?

  Good morning and Greetings from Germany

Tonight I got that order as shown. Every ordered part is physically in my shop
and I can do the order without problems.

But of course, I'm kind of scared about the negative quantity left?!?

With kind regards,
Florian

Nobody to comment on this?

  Is there any way of releasing (listing) the entire contents of a stockroom in
one hit or do I have to list every item individually

You wrote "a stockroom", so maybe you have the multiple stockrooms option switched
on, but if you only have one stockroom, this is how to change the availability
status:

On your inventory page, at the bottom there's "Update My Inventory:".
Select the radio button for "Change availability status to X Store Item Stockroom
Item"
In the dialog below, change "update only items in above selected categories"
to "Update my whole inventory". Then click "submit changes".
It's truly horrible interfacing, and extremely error-prone, but if you sit
tight you'll get through it

  Since you all are discussing one private trade, should you both be discussing

Relax and the symptons will subside.

I apologize. You are right. Every transaction has a right to be discussed in
the forums and not via private messages, errr, I mean your PMS. We are all in
your circus and are your Monkeys

Note that private trades, as in: trades outside the Bricklink order system, are
not allowed, and are therefore not allowed to be discussed at all - whether in
the forum or in private messages. That would be fee avoidance. That's why
Maxx is asking for it to go via Bricklink order.

On the other hand, this isn't a transaction that involves money, and I'm
not entirely sure what the policy is on that.

I will buy his listed items, he will pay fees, and we both hope the postman isn't
having a bad day?

A remark of this kind would worry me a bit.

I would send any client six pictures, before end-sale.
They would also receive the tracking number on that day.
Geez.

I'm not as discouraged as you're trying to make me.
If anything, this reflecting poorly on yourself.

I'm nothing but honest and upfront. I have provided multiple pictues for
any potential buyer - I am unsusceptible to bullying.

Admin should look into your behaviour?

If anything they'd be more concerned about some posting over 30 replies to
a single topic. The whole forum is flooded with your topic now, the others have
mostly disappeared at this point. A simple trade like this really shouldn't
take such massive amounts of messages...

I like to respond to every complainant personally, which I've done.
I don't see a single problem?
I haven't attended to this post in over thirty six hours.
Gee wizz.

I'm nothing but personable and accomodating, provided pictures and comments
to every single respondant - most of which have been nothing but positive.

I'm still not discouraged.

Bricklink can evaluate this entire thing however they want.
I still love a Bricklink.

Apparently.

And another seven messages - you don't get it yet so I will repeat my advice
again: Please use fewer messages for more content. It saves people time reading
these posts and it makes it much easier to navigate the forum. Thanks in advance.

   You might be blocking out a huge part of Bricklink that could have just what you are looking for.

I value predictable shipping prices and fast delivery. I don't know what
to expect when ordering from other countries.

Go for the sellers with Instant Checkout. This is indicated by a lightning bolt
icon behind the store name. All added charges will be calculated realtime so
at checkout you see exactly what you will pay.

Normal sized orders from the NL to the US typically take 4 days to arrive. From
other countries it may be a bit longer, but anyway, a couple of days faster shipping
may not always outweigh the price difference.

Clearly it would save a lot of stuffing around if you know the full cost incl
P&H before hand.
Even better - there should be a little icon or something next to the vendors
name to indicate whether they send quotes or not so you don't have to go
through the checkouts to find out right at the end.
This is what I'm experiencing in Australia

Part of what you suggest exists: Stores with a thunderbolt icon have instant
checkout, which means that you see the grand total before you order. There isn't
an icon to distinguish quote sellers from non-quote sellers, however. But even
if there would be such an icon, I'm not sure it would do sellers justice,
as a non quote seller may have a very clear table of shipping costs, which could
be just as good or better than asking a quote.

I disagree and think it is a valid request to include an icon so shoppers know
they can get a quote from that store immediately instead of having to look for
it or go through the check-out phase.

Using IC is impossible to hit on every scenario and even sometimes the IC may
work, but a buyer still wants to use the Quote system because maybe the IC is
charging too much. There is nothing wrong with a buyer double-checking to see
if their order actually fits in a cheaper shipping option than what IC is calculating.

Those are problems of IC.. but a relevant point because it makes the thunderbolt
misleading. Maybe the system should be made such that if an order doesn't
qualify for IC, the seller by definition has to quote.
My IC works properly: It works on every order and the calculations are correct.
It is always possible to make IC work (if nothing else, you could even charge
1 rate for all orders, after all). But I agree it is not always desirable, for
those sellers who have very significant and unpredictable shipping charge fluctuations
because of a complicated postal service. I expect most of them will have no obligations
against quoting, so an obligatory quote alternative should be ok.. that way,
the thunderbolt is not misleading.

  I'm interested to see offers from United States only.

Each time I'm on a hunt for something, I have to open the filtering options
and select selector location United States.

Please make it possible to set a default filter for all searches. It should be
available here: https://www.bricklink.com/searchSettings.asp?viewFrom=P

This will improve the shopping experience immensely.

Thank you.
-Nowaker

If it would make that much difference, it sounds like you are constantly searching
US only. While I get that it is useful to filter on your own country some of
the time, are you sure that you never want to order something from sellers
in other countries? From what I understood US shipping is expensive, there are
no import duties (correct me if I'm wrong), you don't have to pay VAT,
so ordering abroad can get you some pretty good deals. You might be blocking
out a huge part of Bricklink that could have just what you are looking for.
