Hello, I am curios if anyone sells friends minifigures and if they sell well.
I am thinking of buying a large friends figures lot of 60 figs for $60 and I
just don't know if there is a market for them. Thank you!

Hello everyone!

I have been selling for around 8 months now and am curious on a few things. This
is new to me so I was wondering if My store should be registered as an LLC or
should I just keep selling normally? Thank you!

Hello everyone,

I started selling on bricklink in April of this year and am curious how you all
keep track of total sales/sales that are older than 6 months. I have screenshots
of my order screens that are older than 6 months to keep track but was wondering
should I use Excel to keep track or are there any other methods you all use?
Thank you!

-Jake

Hello all! this may be a pointless post but I was curios if there is anything
I should do about this. I am new to being a seller within the last 4 months and
strive to make sure every order is properly taken care of. I have 62 positive
reviews but one neutral today came in that doesn't make much sense to me.
They wrote, "Came in great, no communication though.". I sent this package
same day, changed the status to shipped immediately, and the buyer received it
fine within a few days of placing the order. I really want to keep reviews positive,
is there something I could have done differently, I never received any messages
or emails from the buyer, any advice would be appreciated, Thank you!

So this means that someone has made a purchase from your store, but you don't
have a shipping method available for them. Sometimes this is a set that is to
large, or if you are using weight for your shipping bands, then then have gone
over the max. Take a look at the order and see what stand out. I've had
some Bionicle parts that were weird shape that didn't fit with I was using
the size to calculate my bands originally. You basically just have to add the
shipping amount that you are charging into the field for the order, save it and
then send the invoice.

This is going to sound so stupid, sorry to ask but how do I manually end an invoice,
I'm so used to it being automatic

Hello! I have kind of a random question, I get a lot of my stock from flipping
off local selling sites. I have about 40 lbs of misc piece(no figures). Do you
all think going through a 40 lb tub and listing pieces is even worth it for my
store? I may just sell all the random pieces in a bulk locally and stick to sets,
figures, etc. Any advice would be greatly appreciated

Hello, I am curious on the figure sp006, Classic Space - White with Air Tanks,
I have one that look exactly like it and has a perfectly gold orb on the chest,
The seem to be going for a decent bit if the orb didn't rub off but I cant
tell if I have that figure, there is notes under the figure that says they stopped
producing it in 1988. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

  The 4 minifigures in the set alone are selling for $400+ average over the last
6 months. Depending on the amount of damage on the box, it may be a better bet
to sell it for parts or as a ship stand along and 4 minifigures. Either way
for a pickup at $325, it would be a good buy.

But wouldn't it suck if you got
 
Minifig No: sw0602  Name: Kanan Jarrus - Dark Brown Hair and Eyebrows
* 
sw0602 (Inv) Kanan Jarrus - Dark Brown Hair and Eyebrows
Minifigures: Star Wars: Star Wars Rebels
instead of?
 
Minifig No: sw0577  Name: Kanan Jarrus - Black Hair and Eyebrows
* 
sw0577 (Inv) Kanan Jarrus - Black Hair and Eyebrows
Minifigures: Star Wars: Star Wars Rebels

If the box were damaged enough that the seller were able to open the box I'd
have them find the bag and see which one it is, but that would just tip them
off probably and lead them to back out of the sale. It's a catch-22.


So if I bought it still sealed how would I know what figure is in there. Like
would I just resell it for around $600 and just say sealed? No indication of
which type of the kanan?

  Just wanted some advice! I have someone who wants to sell me 75053 for $325 factory
sealed but a damaged box. Is that a good deal, I would resell it on my store
but I don’t have too much knowledge on that set, any advice would be greatly
Appreciated!

Thank you for the advice, I also didn’t know much about the kanan. Do all sealed
sets contain the black haired one or can you get there updated one and the set
be worth way less?

Hello all!

just had a tax question. California tax is very high for my orders so its takes
a little chuck out every order. Why is California not an option I can click on
when selecting a state on Sales tax in the management section of settings. Any
advice would be greatly appreciated!

Hello, I'm new to selling, as of today I am at my 27th order. Should I change
the status of an order to shipped after I Drop it of at the post office or when
the package leaves the post office. An insight would be greatly appreciated

I am New to selling and am curious why at the end of the month I got a bill for
the seller fee. I already get a partner fee subtracted on every purchase when
I look at the PayPal invoices. Do you get 2 fees taken per order, any info would
be greatly appreciated!
