I think we should remove wheels from the catalog.

That's a perfectly reasonable position. Out of curiosity, though, doesn't
the size convey that information? Or do you prefer words to numbers? For example:
|
Not everyone reads size and converts it to item instantly words like the giant
or small can help quickly confirm at a glance when looking at something before
listing it or when pulling it to ship it out
| | Wheel Small
Wheel Medium
Wheel Large
Wheel Giant
Wheel 27mm
Wheel 36mm
Wheel 52mm
Wheel 96mm
I'd like to understand your reasoning better. A similar use of size, BTW,
is in the hoses (where words couldn't describe them all).
|
I don’t mean to bud in but those are more so very similar and are easier to mentally
picture size wise (I’m probably making no sense rn)
|
Exactly what Nubs is saying. That way when quickly looking at one of the parts,
I know I've got the "large" wheel, instead of having to try to remember that
it's 52mm... It's just easier for quick recognition than just having
numbers. That and newer members might not know what to do with that number.

| | I just got a $20 order that resulted in a $60 shipping cost and the result is
about $16 taxes. The Bricklink and Paypal fees on the entire transaction equal
about 1/3 the parts sale price. I figure my "cost" for the items was somewhere
between $10-12, resulting in my getting just a few bucks margin for this sale...
I'm wondering what other folks do to mitigate issues like this? I currently
charge exact postage and don't have any handling fees.
I'm wondering if one thing I should do is bump up my minimum order for international
orders.
Thanks for any thoughts you might have.

Yikes! Was it an international buyer? $60 shipping on a $20 order sounds too
high for domestic shipping.
Selling parts on BrickLink is generally a business with a low profit margin,
but if you find yourself putting in a lot of work for very little money, there
are things you can do to increase your profits:
1. You mention that you charge exact postage. It is okay to charge extra for
postage as long as the final cost is displayed to the buyer somewhere, either
in your store terms or at checkout. Consider implementing instant checkout.
2. Raise your minimum. A $20 minimum is already pretty high, but you can enforce
a higher minimum just for international orders.
3. Only ship within the U.S. Unless you have a lot of international orders, there
is little to gain or lose by shipping internationally.
4. Raise your prices. This will help offset some of your other costs.
Hope that helps.
