Repro steps:

1. Create an csv file on rebrickable by Rebrickable-My Set Lists-Export Sets-Rebrickable
CSV
The result is an csv file with header "Set Number,Quantity" and appropriate
set number and quantity in following lines. Total file size 1009 characters.

2. In bricklink, go to My Collections - Import - Import sets with csv or xml
file - Rebrickable CSV - browse to select the file from previous step.

3. Pick either Add or replace, bot options yield the same result.

Expected result: Collection is imported.

Actual result: Import fails with "We were unable to import your file.
Please make sure it is properly formatted."
The help page linked in message lists only Bricklink XML format and not CSV format,
so I cannot hand-verify correctness.

I also tried with "bricklink xml" option from rebrickable, but that file
also fails to upload, with same error message.
I'm thrilled to have collection option on the site finally, but it doesnt
seem to work import-wise.

The My Collection feature is very poorly (to say the least) programmed and actually
of no use.
Like you I've complained about this in the past but to deaf ears.

Best advice: enjoy the rest of BL or, if you really want to manage your collection,
go to Rebrickable.

Already have Rebrickable account, just thought it would be nice to have a list
in here as well.
I'm surprised they would add feature that does not work with simple import
case.
