Team,

I have been waiting to open my store for over a month. I am more than ready to
start selling. Do you need help in this department? Volunteers to assist in matters
like this?

Cheers!

The process takes approx. two weeks after you complete the necessary steps. You
only completed at least two of those steps two days ago. You've been waiting
a month only because you didn't thoroughly read the information. I agree
the process could be simpler, but the information is there and simply needs to
be given the appropriate attention.

A better suggestion might be for BL to create an unambiguous list of things a
new store needs to do, with green ticks generated automatically against each
item as they're completed, with a "submit for review" button only available
after all other steps have been ticked off.

Agreed. All the information is there.
We've three people not understanding which settings to use.
They'd entered an unnecessary Store bypassword which keeps their stores locked.

Specifying a password there does not keep a store locked. We have a password
there, but our store is open. They specifically said that the "open" button did
not work.

Removed the password, and still locked.

From what I understand, if you upgrade from a buyer to a seller and if you are
a member in good standing (active 100 days and received 5 positive feedback),
then opening the store is automatically allowed.

You are a member in good standing, but you were not at the time that you tried
to upgrade as you just got the feedback last week. If I were you, I'd send
another email to Admin to try to kick-start the process again, perhaps with attention
to Jaclyn. For you it shouldn't take so long to open at this point, but
because you arrived at this point in a different way, it may unfortunately be
as MariaA says, take a few weeks. Hopefully not though. Good luck.

If you are selling parts, it might be helpful to include a shipping chart and
a few more details in your terms to help encourage buyers. I'm not in the
US, but I got the impression from buying in the US that there are shipping categories.
