Hi,

Make a Wanted List: https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=1

And then use the Buy button (I don’t recommend EasyBuy, Buy has more options):

Ok i done that. but the seller doesn't seem to have all the pieces i need.
plus he doesn't seem interested in answering my direct messages on this website.
would like to give seller a couple weeks to gather the require pieces that i
need. Maybe i need to find a different seller. but who will that be?
thanks for helping

Use the Buy page (https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=2445 ) to find sellers.

The Auto-select button can find a solution, a combination of shops, to fulfill
your WL.

It’s rather rare that only one seller can fulfill your whole WL.  And when it
happens, it’s generally for a high price.

Also, as we discussed in November (https://www.bricklink.com/messageThread.asp?ID=373986&nID=1531360
), there’s not many sellers who will do the job for you (procure the parts they
don’t already have), and those who do will obviously take their share and charge
for the time.

thank you.

A wanted list is where you record items (parts, sets) that you may want to buy
at a future date. It can help you to find the stores where you can buy those
items.

From your message, it seems to me that what you are trying to accomplish is to
order now with delayed shipping. For that scenario, you should ask the shop(s)
where you buy to hold on to shipping until you are ready. Most may be willing
to, some may not.

If instead you would put the items on your wanted list and delay buying, chances
are that the shops you intended to buy from do no longer have your items available.
A wanted list does not reserve your items, neither does a shopping cart or even
a quote. Only an order reserves your items.
