Many ID numbers on BL have been changed

Just a word of warning to all sellers. Many part numbers over on BrickLink have been changed to include an extra zero. This seems to have been done across almost all categories to some extent. This will impact sellers that sell on both platforms and use Bricksync.

I have submitted updated BLIDs for the parts that I have on sale that have been affected, but I don't know what other parts need updating. I don't know if there is a way for @Lawrence to do some sort of automatic update or if we will all need to submit new BLIDs when we stumble across items that no longer sync.

Just thought I should warn you all incase you suddenly notice discrepancies when syncing inventories.

    It seems that the changes are:

    Direct:
    bbXXX to bb0XXX
    bbfsmXXX to bfsmXXXX and then to fabsmXXXX
    bbfXXX to fabcXXX
    bbwXXX to bb1XXX
    bbcardXX to nbacardXX
    BbBXXXXX to pnXXXXX

    Non related:
    bbdXXX to bbYYYY

    And a few more that would need manual update.

    Edit: Also 5 days ago some bbXX to bb0XX

    Some X might be longer as for variants, so better would have been put bb*...
  • I've added a "bb0" prefix to all the "bb" ones. For things other than just adding a 0 it may be better if those are done manually
  • Thank you very much, those were the majority
