| | Hi,
So I have several orders from several stores. But I can't remember if I have
ordered an item.
Is there a way to search for it among the orders or do I have to open all the
orders and check them till I find the item... or not?
Have a nice one,
Adrien

You can download your orders to an excel file at that link. If you make sure
to check the box to include detail items it will show you what items were in
each order and you can sort/filter/search all at once.

| | Was wondering if there was a way to check my store inventory if I have any duplicated
listings of parts of the same condition. I know there is the long way of checking
by sorting by color or part type but was wondering if there was a way to quickly
sort out any parts that already had a listing so that I could just update the
quantity rather than accidently make a different listing.
Thanks in advance

Check the non unique box and click go.

| | Hi everyone,
I would like to get some feedback on how people store their spare minifigure
heads?
I have a lot of spare heads I use to complete figures but there is no easy way
to store, see and access them. Currently it takes a lot of time to hunt for them
even after trying my best to group them.
just interested in seeing what people do so they can access and pick them quickly.
Thank you!

You could use the stock room feature on Bricklink inventory and use either a,
b, or c to assign locations. I don't know how you store your parts container
wise but if it's a drawer or drawesque system it should be pretty easy to
find each head even with several in the same container.

Not looking for the calculator, but more of a matrix that breaks it down by

This shows commercial rates that PirateShip gives you access to. I would assume
PayPal gets the same rates but haven't used them in quite some time.

Each shipping method you have has a minimum allowable order amount. You have
to go into each method and change the dollar amount as well.

It could just be that the pictures are the same, but I can't tell the difference

The picture of the three variants doesn't help me.

009 appears to have a VERY slight dbg border above the lbg print. The top circle
shows where it's just very difficult to see.

| | Is there a way to fine tune the minimum purchase setting, say $10 for Domestic

I've started blocking countries altogether because it just isn't worth
all the time and money to ship $10 orders overseas especially considering the
PayPal fees for the shipping is more than the order itself.
I would rather hold fast to my policy of only charging straight shipping without
any handling or added fees, but the fact of the matter is International shipping
is a much larger drain on resources and time.

Not 100% sure it will work, but you can put a minimum order amount on each shipping
method.

| | I need out of this business so bad, but I need to sell out my inventory first.
As much of it as I can as I still owe money back, plus a promised return on investment,
but the orders I get take too much to fill and I can't keep up. One of everything;
a $3 order takes me on an hour long tour of my inventory. What can I do?
I can't sell things any cheaper and the changing nature of the business has
made it impossible for me to make a liveable income. (Almost) No one places expensive
enough orders that don't take up to large a chunk of my work hours to allow
enough of them through at a time. I take a few orders, calculate the hours it
will take to satisfy them and I have to close the store after only a day or
two, yet I've only sold $100-$200. I've tried adjusting settings like
lot ratios/restrictions, minimum buys, opting out of rebrickable, but to little
to no avail. The more I do to try and encourage simpler orders, bulk buys, etc.
the more inconvenient it becomes to shop my store.
If ya can't tell, I'm at my whit's end and I just need to put it
out there incase there is a life line or something I'm missing that I'd
never find if I kept it to myself. I've been hard at this since 2016, trying
to make this a serious business and every year it gets more difficult. I can't
be the only struggling but how are you all handling it? What am I not getting?

Get rid of invoice only shipping. I know that I am not alone in avoiding most
stores that don't have instant checkout. Set up instant checkout with a minimum
of $5 or so for shipping and maybe include a free shipping offer for orders over
25-30 to encourage larger orders until you can get the store more profitable.
Your terms could also be better organized and condensed. A good many people won't
read them anyway, and those that do will appreciate a more straightforward approach
to spelling them out.
Build depth on most sold/most wanted parts (view here: https://www.bricklink.com/catalogStats.asp).
Some parts, especially with your lot count, can be listed for much higher than
6ma or going rate. Basic parts like bricks, tiles, and plates all do well in
lbg, dbg, black, white, etc.
For the majority of 2021 I had about 1/7 of the number of lots that you have
yet was able to have an average order of nearly $40 for the year with the lot
count on each order averaging just under 6. With a mostly used inventory, it
could be hard to replicate that, but it isn't impossible.
Be picky in what you purchase to sell. Just because it's cheap doesn't
mean you should buy it.
I'm not quite at the point of making a living selling LEGO. But spending
maybe 15-20 hours a week (and that's probably on the high end) I was able
to profit well above $20k last year. I do sell on more than just Bricklink but
the same principles work across all platforms. Figure out what people want to
buy, find a way to source it and still make money, make it easy for people to
buy with good terms and instant checkout, and be well organized so you can spend
as little time as possible fulfilling orders.

It has something to do with a volume/weight band or item restriction on some
of your items. When I selected parts only it allowed for just instant checkout.
But when I selected one of your sets it only showed me an invoice option.
See attached photo for my invoice method.
