| Your right. I was being an idiot and obviously did not read it close enough to
see that he was taking about HIS COST that he paid for each part.
Ummm, never mind.
Jim, an idiot.

| The way I accomplish close to the same thing you are looking for is quite simple...
I like to have all our parts in our store to be between 23% and 29% off the 6
month sales average depending on the type of part (such as, more off for wedge
plates and less for bricks) so I just choose the setting to automatically set
the price at the 6 month sales average. Then I go into my inventory and put the
different categories of parts up on sale for the 23% to 29% off.
I have my inventory marked to save all my listings after they are sold out so
that when I part out new sets I dont have to re-apply the sales off percentage
- the only exception is when adding new parts or new part colors which only means
going into my inventory once in a while to reset the percentages off.
If there are certain individual parts I want at less or more then I only need
to set that percentage off once.
The added benefit is that my inventory always reflects the changing 6 month sales
average.
If nothing else, this is a good work around in the interim.

| | | You would have gotten the % based fee regardless, but the transaction fee of
30 cents (or pence), you're right, you'd pay that twice. You could invoice with
30 p added.

I agree. You have to charge a more for shipping sense the second order will increase
the weight so you can just add fee to that.
I wouldn't fret too much about it and I definitely would not make a big deal
of it with my customer. The $0.30 fee is just not really worth losing sleep over,
at least to me.
And as mentioned above in a previous post, I too never change the order status
until it is paid for and I have never had a problem with a customer paying. Have
you actually had customers complain that you dont have their order packed before
they pay?
Jim.

| Just knowing that someone who received an email placed an order shortly there
after I think could help statistically to see if the emails actually help to
bring in customers. Especially if you start to see a pattern of shoppers who
just received an email now placing an order.
To me, just knowing that they placed an order after receiving an email would
be great.

| | | I could for example order 200 mini-figs of which only one lot shows the weight
and then pay the price of 2-3€ for shipment, whereas the seller will pay a multitude
of that.
|
One easy way around that is for BL to have all mini-figs that do not have the
weight verified yet to be given a generic weight (until the true weight is supplied).
Most mini-figs weigh close enough to the same that a generic weight should work
just fine. This would at least help with mini-figs which is a big percentage
of items with missing weights.
