| You still have First Class listed as a shipping option, and also have it set
as the default.
In Shipping, littlefeisty1 writes:
| | When I opened my store shipping was a weight scale, starting at $3.00 but hat
really only covers First Class postage, which can't be tracked. One package
sent First Class still hasn't arrived to the sller, after 2 weeks.
I changed my shipping options to 2 methods that provide tracking information
- Ground Advantage for $5.95 and Priority which is $9.85.
Problem is buyers are still paying the $3.00 so every shipment I eat a min. of
$2.95. I'm sure it's something I haven't done, don't know how
to do, etc.
Suggestions?

| You have probably set a max size in your shipping methods and something they
want to buy is large than that.
In Technical Issues, mileshuman writes:
| | I woke to two separate messages from buyers who both say that they can’t check
out, and are receiving an error message saying “Items do not fit in the package”.
Is anyone else experiencing this problem? Is there a simple fix? Do I need to
change something in terms of settings regarding available shipping methods? Thanks!

| And if I set a price for something years ago, I'm not constantly checking
to see if it went up or down. I'm a small store with only 3,454 lots but
I don't have time for that.

Take for example this part
This was previously only available in set and
These sets were limited in number and are much sought after.
Since 2024, a new set has been available that contains this part.
It can be purchased in any LEGO store or reseller. But I still see that every
new seller of this part bases their price on the original price when this part
was still rare.
This it totally nuts imo.
I'm thinking of parting out 10 sets containing this part and pricing them
at around 50 cents to change the price guide which will force future sellers
of this item to sell this item cheaper.
To the sellers: do you also experience these kinds of crazy things?
|
You really think sellers are checking the pricing and availability of every item
in a part out? They set it 'just below the 6 months average' and click
the button.
By the way, if everyone keeps doing that, the prices will all hit bottom. Like
every book on amazon costing $.99

See below which is a common issue with vintage toys.
"Melt marks" are part of the vocabulary of PEZ collectors and are melt
marks, caused when the styrene plastic of PEZ dispensers comes into contact with
other malleable plastics or rubbers, sometimes and probably in certain characteristics
and time, causing a chemical reaction between both materials. This problem arises,
for example, in contact with very soft rubber "bug" toys, which we often
find on sale at Carnival or inside gift balls, such as snakes and spiders, or
even the "Creepy Crawlers" style, of "homemade manufacture".
These burns can literally ruin a dispenser, so it is advised not to store together,
including inside certain plastic bags or even in contact with other PEZ dispensers.

I eventually had to find pdf on my own.
I want to buy Parisian Street but how do I trust that I'll be able to access

I guess this is the issue of having obviously not minifigures in the minifigures
category. Small animal characters like Scooby Doo or big ones like Smaug go in
animals, so it seems odd to put vehicle based characters in minifigs and not
in the existing vehicle category. If this is going ahead, presumably Ent / Treebeard
spa0019 can also be moved into minifigures too.
