This one has been around a long time and unfortunately nothing seems to be happening with it. Bricklink needs to change the way the login/accounts function works. As a medium sized store with an owner and 3 employees we need to allow the employees to log into Bricklink and update store inventory, prices etc almost every day and as things currently stand they have to use the owners login details (Poor security). SQL, which is used for the database has quite a good security system built in so even if we went native with that, it would be better than the current situation. The same thing applies for stores with multiple locations - we have two processing centres - one where all of our Lego inventory is stored, picked etc and one where orders are packed and shipped from. Hence we want to set up a shipping from address and a shipping to address. The fact that not all stores support the alternate address system on Bricklink, as it currently stands means the only real way to do this is using alternates on Paypal (for those that use Paypal). So in summary - multiple logins to the stores with security/control permissions and a minimum of 2 address for each store - one for ship from and 1 for ship to. As an afterthought it might not be a bad idea to allow store owners to have two accounts - one for buying and one for selling, with the appropriate feedback associated with each function. This might make a difference as to how people look at a situation - In our case we have over 800 buying feedback and over 2000 selling feedbacks.

I'm also not so sure about the 2 account thing, but I'd love to have separate logins for the store. My wife and both use the forums, but she always makes sure to note [...] (102 months ago, Jan 8, 2016, to Suggestions)
