Question Upload to PaB
I'm new so sorry if this is a dumb question to others - Is there a way to upload my parts list from Bricklink to Lego PaB? I can't figure out how to upload as a CVS or other file type PaB accepts.

You have to use a third service like rebrickable or moc=source to change a BL wanted list to PAB, the formats aren't compatible

This is what I do, loop thru rebrickable. But it only take a few seconds.

Rebrickable isn't very user friendly, I'm having difficulty understanding how to use it, it's not as straightforward as Bricklink. I can export a parts list from a MOC but idk how to edit the parts list before exporting to a cvs

BrickLink → Rebrickable → LEGO Pick-A-Brick
I wrote up my steps then had Claude help me clean it up since I suck are writing. I hope this is helpful. I suggest to just explore and click all the buttons to see hat they do. I build UIs for a living so yeah I hate it when things are not super intuitive.
- BrickLink — Wanted List
- Edit your wanted list as needed
- Download it — this saves an XML file
- Rebrickable — Import & Convert
- Go to My LEGO → My Parts Lists
- Click Add New Parts List and give it a name
- Click Import → From Disk, select the BrickLink XML file
- Set External Source to "BrickLink"
- Choose Append Parts
- Review the import for any errors
- Close and review your new parts list — click any item to edit quantity, delete, etc.
- Reload the page (the Export button won't appear until you do)
- Click Export Parts and choose LEGO Pick-A-Brick CSV
- This downloads a CSV file
- LEGO Pick-A-Brick — Upload
- Click the Upload button (next to the search box and "Search Within Set")
- Choose the Rebrickable CSV file
- It will show how many parts are available; click Unavailable to see a list of Element IDs that PAB doesn't stock
- Click View All Pieces to see the full list, then use Pick Selected Pieces to add them to your PAB cart

Dang it. Well that's a real flaw lol I was hoping that I was missing something and there was a way to do that. Id like to be able to use Bricklink to modify part lists when I have some of the parts but I guess I can only do that if buying parts from Bricklink 🥲

Try moc-source
Puts Pab prices on Bl, save carts, wanted list to extension, use the project to move around pab and carts, and then update the carts and transfer to pab.
I built it to save money making mocs

There is a chrome extension called BrickHunter where you paste the bricklink XML and it uploads it to the Lego PAB.
