Yeah I see you can delete the part if bad condition is noted but then you are
not purchasing the part. How do you reject a part in bad condition but still
purchase it in Easy Buy?
I wish Bricklink would not let sellers sell parts in bad condition. Or at least
create another "condition" category for parts with bite marks, wear,
yellowing, scratches, etc. At this point the choices for condition are "new"
or "used". Need to add a "damaged" condition for those buyers
that aren't that particular.

There is then an issue of what damaged means. Should parts with average scuffing
or heavy scuffing be damaged instead of used? Slightly yellowed? Actually damaged,
broken parts?

Having a new "used(bad)" section implies anything that is in "used"
is good. And buyers and sellers will argue over whether a middle range part should
be used(good) or used(bad).

And sellers would have to sort existing used parts.

Considering the sellers entered condition notes saying "bite marks"
or "scratches" or "damaged", I'd say they are already sorting
them. Every seller I've seen states in their terms they only sell good/very
good/great (whatever specific words they use) condition used parts unless otherwise
noted so yes, anything "used" is good, that is already in place. There
could be a universal grading scale like on ebay only taylored to Lego. This was
an idea to fix my problem at hand and the question I asked. How do I reject parts
with notations I'm not comfortable with and still purchase those parts when
using Easy Buy? This was my first time using Easy Buy. I thought I would save
myself a lot of time and hassle with the Easy Buy feature but it has this huge
flaw in it. If you don't like my suggestion to fix this, how would you fix
it?

I don't use easy buy. I look at carts before ordering and readjust numbers
if necessary.

Hi,

EasyBuy is easy but not very good.  Better use the Buy page and Auto-select:
just a few clicks more, the results should be about the same, but there’s filters.

The same problem would happen there but thanks to the filters, you could deselect
the store and least-favourite it to try again.

That being said, looking at the stores’ terms, the comments on the items, and
what’s exactly in the proposed carts is always something you have to do, especially
if you’re buying Used (or no condition).
