Dear BrickLink Team,

why are you making such serious changes in the middle of the Christmas season?
It is simply not possible to work properly on the site today.
If such things were announced, you could at least be prepared for it in terms
of daily workflow.
There are many commercial sellers here and we expect the platform operator to
act professionally.

Please make such big updates in the future in calmer times, at best also with
more beta testing in advance, so that something like today does not happen.

Best regards

Dirk

Dear fellow sellers, of course it has to be that way. It's easier to ask
for forgiveness than to as for permission

If I f****d up this much at my old job, I would have been fired. There is simply
no excuse for BrickLink to act so unprofessionally.

No communication! Zilch, zero, nothing!
Bad decisions to implement (an unnecessary feature for buying or selling) during
the ramp up to the holiday season!
I feel like Lego is trying to ruin BL on purpose. Doesn't make any sense
at all.

Sellers are owed an apology and explanation of what just went down (no pun
intended.)

It is really bad timing isn't it, especially if it is down to implementing
a feature is not necessary and does not actually have anything to do with buying/selling.

Yes, we can now collate our collections but we cannot add anything new to sell.

Nothing to add other than I agree. I'm glad everyone else can now add pieces
to their collections but I can't add items to my inventory which is costing
BL money. As a marketplace, the SELLERS are the customer, and it needs to be
seen that way.

Was supposed to enter the Mos Eisley cantina today, stayed home from work to
do it. Would have been okay if they communicated this information to us and kept
us apprised of what is happening.

Do you use brickstore? If this continues I would suggest using it since the mass
upload still works. Maybe not, just trying to offer solutions.

The lack of communication over the My Collection addition and the lack of acknowledgment
of the problems that have happened since is concerning.

I agree 100%

Same with the lack of notice about maintenance. Surely they could have given
a 10 minute or 30 minute warning for those part way through picking orders.
