There are 87 of the "set", whereas there are 4294 listings for the part. So most
people have listed them as the single part. The sealed ones listed as sets are
likely to be correct, as are the used ones listed as sets as they do not need
to contain the packaging (although the listing should say that).
If you have plenty of a single part set (or single minifigure set), it is often
a good idea to list some as the part (or minifigure) and some as the set, as
different buys will search for different things.

Thanks, that is very helpful

Okay, so what suggestions do you have for something better? Keep in mind that
it needs to be something which will keep these heads about where they are (close
to the top, but just under the plain heads) in the entire list of heads when
you look at them by title, as well as something which will only return these
heads in searches.
Previously you couldn't find any of these heads without a minifigure face
in searches, BTW, and now you can find them by searching "without face." They're
the only things that come up if you search for them.
As for your question about what criteria I used to populate the list, I tried
to include every head which was self-evidently not a face and which was
also not used in a standard-size minifigure as a head. There are two exceptions
on the list, meaning two heads which are used in minifigures.

Hi,
To stick with the trend of all other pieces - makes it easier for new members,
shouldn't it be :-
mini figures, heads
mini figures, heads decorated
then the description differentiates the design printed on the piece, - would
be helpful with Goatleg too!!

isn't exactly like that, obviously, but that is how I choose to see it.
That is, until around February of next year when I plan to go absolutely mad
with power and add smiley faces and other assorted emoticons to every item in
the catalog (including all pending catalog submissions). 
Seriously, though, I'm here for you and if anyone needs anything or has questions,
then please contact me (until February, of course, when I change).

Congrats, SC, very well deserved, you do a lot to help our community...............
I'm with Speg, I hope there is some kind of renumeration, I don't want

Apologies if I have not done this correctly, (first time) if it is incorrect, please give me pointers, so I can see it through and do it again,
I cannot find where to put the pics, so I am assuming I add those once the parts are approved??

Hi this request will be rejected
If an inventory is missing a stickered part, then the part must be added to the
catalog before it can be added to the inventory. Do not submit an inventory change
request to add a plain part to the inventory as a counterpart to account for
the part with the sticker applied.
(from help page: https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=1562 - Adding Stickered
Counterparts)
Maybe this thread will be also helpful for you, how to add stickered parts to
the catalog:

Brilliant thanks for you help I will do that

I use a MAC and I find the frames and text are a bit too thin... Can hardly see
them especially when viewing the screen at an angle. Its all a bit of a blur!!
(I always stand next to my partner when picking orders, so am looking from an
angle).
The colours do help a bit. That's a nice touch that has been there for a while
when viewed on the iPhone.
Maybe the text in Bold please!! (pending, paid, shipped, etc... )
... just MyTwoPence Bricks ...

Am I missing something? I don't see any change on the orders page, both placed
and received look the same to me.
|

Maybe it because it's on a MAC, rather than a PC?
I see no difference, other than the new catalogue display when looking at parts...

Hi Paul,
I use an iMac - still the same here!! I use Safari
maybe on a different internet browser on a Mac??

Thanks Sylvain,
I must be honest, I hadn't even noticed that, as
for notifications, I do not have them turned on,
I suppose everyone is different, I have stopped using one of my favourite suppliers
in my day job, as they added me to a mailing list, and were sending me an Email
every / every other day, I unsubscribed, the Emails didn't stop, I have now
marked them as junk and stopped using them,

I meant that if sharing WLs was to bring another level of notifications (whole
WLs instead of part by part), it’s still opt-in. So you (and I  ) will continue
not to receive spurious messages from sellers.
Besides, if it’s like other promised features, we won’t have them that soon….
|
Hi Sylvain,
I mistook your meaning sorry, as I said it's a personal
thing, I for one don't like it, as long as you can opt in / out, there is
no harm in it!
but personally I wouldn't contact a buyer to say I have the parts you need!!
Have a good day
Alex

Not Sure I like that idea, when I am building sets, any missing parts, I add
to my wanted list and put the set to one side, then go onto another set, It gives
me a reminder of what I am missing, especially, when I am going through bought
collections dumped into boxes,
hopefully I find the parts when looking for other parts, if eventually I give
up looking, or have enough parts to warrant an order, I will do so...........
but to have sellers contacting me saying "I have the parts you require"
is really intrusive, and tbh. SPAM,

Look at the settings for one of your WL, you’ll see a “Share WL” toggle, with
a green, 4-month-old “Feature Coming Soon!” next to it.
So, it’s an option for each WL. You’ll have shared and unshared WL.
Besides, we have no idea whatsoever how it’ll work: Will the WL be shared with
everybody? with a selection of people? How? Etc.
And, besides, the “spamish” contacts already exist. They are called “notifications.”
Even though they work on a part by part basis.
