Twice today as a seller I was denied access to Bricklink.

Had to clear my browser history to continue.

Then check my email from Lego and enter a code.

Then after getting logged into Bricklink, had to enter another code from Bricklink
to find out I have no orders.

Really can’t blame the buyers…

I've been having login problems on my tablet today (constant logging out)
but fine on my PC. Would people leave because of it? For 30 mins to do something
else, yes. Forever, I doubt it.

I still believe that when the trouble is hammered out, the merged accounts have
brought Bricklink to the attention of people who didn't know about it and
it will increase customers.

But today I think they may have had trouble logging in.

I don't see any mention of bricklink on the Lego website. Is there anywhay
to get directe from lego dot com to bricklink? If not, how it brings attentions
to bricklink?

I don't think there is a direct link. But the BDP series has grown massively
in the consciousness of AFOLs and this has promoted some aspects of BL, especially
studio. And in turn that promotes BL as a sales platform when people want to
build their designs.

I noticed that the numbers on

https://stats.inspacesync.com/

haven't been updated in a while (it's been showing a projected number
of 205,747 for October for some time now - over a week).

I took an order number of mine from 9/30 and subtracted it from one on 10/12
at a similar time of the day. The difference is 94,536 for an average of 7878
per day. Multiplied by 31 gives 244,218 which is slightly less than Oct 2024
or 2023 (or Sept 2025) according to the stats above.

Now I don't know whether the first half of October tends to see fewer orders
than the latter half. I personally am seeing more orders this year then the same
time last year but I'm pretty sure my inventory was much smaller last year
too.

Hello, I am the developer of that website. I think it isn't updated anymore
because I disabled some functionality in my software after the account integration
shenanigans.

I have put it on my list to check for the next patch.

Thank you!
