I am a new Brinklink store owner and painstakingly entered one color of my inventory 1 part at a time using Brinklink's interface. I had hoped there was a way to download what I have entered and get it into Excel and then update it for my other color parts and then upload back to bricklink. Is there software to help one do this? XML file is useless to me as my programming skills are pretty rusty. Welcome to the world of BrickLink selling. For manually entering inventory, I find it more efficient to add all of the same parts of all colors at the same time, rather than adding stuff of all one color at the same time. I have also memorized the basic color numbers so I can manually change the price guide URL for the same item from one color to the next: The basic color numbers are 1 = White 2 = Tan 3 = Yellow 4 = Orange 5 = Red 6 = Green 7 = Blue 11 = Black 85 = Dark Bley 86 = Light Bley 88 = Reddish Brown Here are the BL instructions on how to create an upload file by creating an XML file: https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=22 The most commonly used FREE third-party software is BrickStore https://www.bricklink.com/linkClick.asp?ID=282 I prefer adding pieces one at a time directly to BrickLink. Creating an XML or BrickStore file offers the possibility of keystroke errors. The error that trips me up most often is forgetting to change the color from one line to the next. Good Luck, Have Fun, and Sell Lots of Lego ____
