| Hi there everyone,
I have recently bought my first parts from BrickLink, everything went smoothly
and i even got some parts in home! 
However i just realised, that some parts in my XML list, why i bought and then
uploaded, contain some items with their color tagged as "(not applicable)", aka
the color isnt defined yet. However since this is my first buy i didnt notice
that these parts would be appointed a colour at random.
A great suggestion to prevent this from happening to me, or any new buyer is
maybe to add a small warning that you have some parts which do not have a colour
appointed.
Regards,
Daan

| Hello,
I think is a good suggestion, but unfortunately only for buying parts (And not
other items). Not applicable is in the catalog only because some items don't
have a colour, for example instruction booklets.
Also sellers shouldn't really have any parts marked as NA. It just shows
that they either haven't taken the time to document the colours, or have
a bulk lot of mixed colours (Of the same brick) that they are selling all together.

I'm pretty sure if you have N/A in your wanted list then when you go to buy
the relevant parts the system chooses what colors you get - not the seller.
