Hello all, hopefully someone can help me out.
Hopefully this is in the right place.
I am new and setting up my bricklink store, I would like to manually invoice
anyone who buys from me, just until I can work out all the postage costs that
I would have.

Another question is how do I go about allowing cash payments on pick up for local
buyers as I have been selling individual pieces on facebook market place (people
send me their list of parts and I check if I have them and get back to them with
a cost) or is this not allowed?

As a new seller you can only offer paypal or stripe onsite as a payment method.
Why do you want to process sales outside of BL through your store? Of course
you can issue an invoice and arrange cash payment.

It's possible to have manual invoice without instant payment.
You can change the settings later.
Select Manual Invoice for each of your shipping methods.

It's not allowed to finish sales outside of Bricklink.

But it's allowed to start sales outside of Bricklink.

It's not allowed to finish sales outside of Bricklink.

It's allowed to sell on other venues too.
It's not allowed if buyers and sellers meet on Bricklink and finish the deal
outside of Bricklink. Bricklink would be missing it's fees.

"There is no rule that says you can't sell what you have listed on BrickLink
some other way. Just don't be trying to convert BrickLink orders into non-BrickLink

The reason I am asking about being able to accept cash payments is because through
my selling pieces on facebook market place and other avenues I have discovered
that the majority of people making large orders know of and use bricklink, and
so it would be nice (in my mind atlest) for me to be able to give them the option
to order through bricklink and then pay cash on pick up. I am happy to pay the
bricklink fees for those purchases.

another reason is if someone wants to pick up and pays but then doesn't actually
pick up I'm stuck holding their pieces or having to issue a refund, not sure
what is best there.

Then you have to wait until Bricklink allows you to accept additional payment
methods.

If Australia has IBAN as payment method in you can request Admin to add it.

Yes, but cash is not an option. The only other payment option is IBAN.

I completely understand the sentiment. Personally, I like to push sales towards
BrickLink whenever possible. I have an affinity for the site, as a partner of
sorts. So I show loyalty as I would with any partner of mine. But that's
a personality thing, not a strict business decision. In other words, it's
not necessary "just don't convert BrickLink orders" as the Admin stated

  
another reason is if someone wants to pick up and pays but then doesn't actually
pick up I'm stuck holding their pieces or having to issue a refund, not sure
what is best there.

Give them a timeframe for pick-up, beyond which you'll ship the "unclaimed"
order to their registered BL address. Keep in mind though, with in-person pick
up for online transactions, you the seller, have no proof of delivery.

Allowing for in-person shopping is not my thing. But if that's what you're
interested in, you might tell them to bring additional cash in order to get that
ball roll'n. Build that local cash customer base, mentioned

Good luck and have fun!

I have a number of orders go by pickup. But the payment is always through Paypal.
I don't want to handle cash on my doorstep. And there is the issue of ensuring
proper sales taxes are collected.

  Hello all, hopefully someone can help me out.
Hopefully this is in the right place.
I am new and setting up my bricklink store, I would like to manually invoice
anyone who buys from me, just until I can work out all the postage costs that
I would have.

Another question is how do I go about allowing cash payments on pick up for local
buyers as I have been selling individual pieces on facebook market place (people
send me their list of parts and I check if I have them and get back to them with
a cost) or is this not allowed?

I have now opened my store, the Invoices should be set up correctly, if not I'm
sure I will get a message about it.

I will continue to sell through other means, but in my time doing so I have found
that it takes so long to fill large orders as I need to look up every part, then
check to see if I have it (unless i'm sure that I do or don't have it).
So for that reason I will encourage people to buy from me through bricklink.
