Stuck at the "You currently do not have enough positive feedback to upgrade
to a seller." page.

Granted I only have one positive, but that should meet the terms?

I'll place a few more orders to bump the number, maybe there's a time
limit?

My Instant checkout charge is $4.00 plus $1 additional fee. I received an order,
weighing just 1 lb 1.7 ounces, the shipping charge was $12.99, the $1 was omitted.
Who can check on this for me?

Hi guys,
sadly the process of changing and merging parts on Bricklink (BL) is going on
and on, which is in some cases good and in some very bad.
I am a MOC designer and doing MODs of existing MOCs. For those modifications
I normally provide Studio generated Bricklink wanted list XMLs next to my instruction
pdfs.
In the last months I received more and more emails that complain about those
XML files.
I always test those XMLs right after I create them by importing them into my
default BL wanted list. So I know the XMLs are valid and work on BL at the moment
I created them.

But the strange way (at least in my opinion) of changing the parts lib on BL
and the way the poor implemented XML importer works on BL, those XMLs are suddenly
invalid.
So I have to regenerate the XMLs or cause Studio and BL are not synchronized
on the part changes, I have to manually fix the XMLs. This means I have to spend
a serious amount of my spare time for something that should really not be my
task.

My question is, why does it have to work this way?

All other tools and platforms, like Rebrickable, are still able to import those
"invalid" XML files.
I would expect BL just sets the old part numbers to "deprecated" or adds
the old numbers as valid alternatives to the new ones. So the import tool can
automatically switch those parts to the new valid number while the import process
Or another simple solution, the import tool has a "whitelist" of those
old parts integrated. So if the part is not found in the BL database, it checks
the "whitelist" and if the part is found there it automatically converts
it to the new number.

Really strange that such a situation is reality in 2024 with all that AI around
us.

Kind regards
Joerg aka Linse

So I am finally getting to know Stud.io and saved a .io file and uploaded it
to a new wanted list. But the autofill doesn't like the wanted list I've
created. The parts are all very basic bricks and tiles but it won't fill
the cart. If I click 'easy buy' it will tell me a bunch of very basic
bricks aren't available when clearly they are very generic parts.

Has anyone had issues with their account seemingly being deleted? I had an account
and started populating my sets and tracking the missing parts as I go to see
what I need to order. However, when I tried to log in this week I was getting
ID issues and couldn't do forgot password as there was no account associated.

So I created a new account same username and email, now just concerned that I
don't want to waste my time putting the time in if there is chance it could
disappear again? Anyone with this experience?

Hey folks,

I have a 3144 with a partially broken prong. I attempted to fix it with MEK,
but apparently this part isn’t made with the same materials as regular pieces.
Someone then told me that it might be PVC, but I tried that glue and it also
did nothing. Does anyone have any idea what glue or chemical that I can use on
this part to make the repair?

Photo enclosed.

Thanks!

Hello
I just noticed that my inventory doesn't automatically subtract the parts
that are being ordered. Some parts show all of a sudden more then what I original
entered. Please look into this.

Hi. I’m new here and I have a question. What do the asterisks and exclamation
points under each item mean in my store inventory?it seems all or most have an
asterisk but some have exclamation points and I have no idea what this means.
Thanks

Tried to capture this as best I could. The pieces at the top is Blue and the
other two seem a much darker colour. The colour is consistant front and back
so doubt it is discolouration, but not sure.

https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=48336#T=P
There is only the option of blue, no Dark Blue for the item.

Anyone suggest a colour?

I can't decide what color this is and if Takadox comes in different versions.
Obvious irlt is 57560pb01 - comes in three color of trans blue I can see, but
they all belong to the same set?

Hello
In my opinion, the following minifigure sh684 (https://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemInv.asp?M=sh684)
is included in this set: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?S=682306-1&name=Spider-Man%20paper%20bag&category=%5BSuper%20Heroes%5D%5BSpider-Man%5D#T=S&O={%22iconly%22:0}.
How can I be recommended for examination?

Greetings, ZoltanBricks

A buyer placed a NSS (Non Shipping Seller alert) on an order in my store while
there's no doubt about the fact that I shipped it. I provided the shipping
company, tracking code and informed him myself about a delivery issue and the
fact it got lost. I suggested he could open a paypal claim to get refunded. He
finally did this but also placed a NSS what could cause me a lot of damage and
could result in a closure of my store if others do this again. It's already
the second time this happened. I informed him about the consequences this could
have to me and kindly requested to remove the NSS till the paypal claim is handled.
He does not respond. I also contacted bricklink administration but just like
previous time, they probably will take no action.
What can I do to get the NSS removed and how can I wake up bricklink to avoid
incorrect placed NSS in the future? It's very stressfull to receive a NSS
let be when it's based on false accusations.

Whenever I try and modify a wanted list I'm getting the attached error.

I tried to part out a new set and change the quantities on a brand new wanted
list and still same thing. I am also unable to apply an order to a wanted list.
Nothing happens.

Anyone seeing something similar?

I'm currently trying to project the weight of a creation I'm going to
build and it has a lot more smaller pieces than anticipated, so I wanted to know
if I can view total weight, as parts count would be inaccurate for this.

I know the part weights are registered on this website, but I want to know if
there's a way to see all this info without having it in someone's cart.

Thanks so much
