| Hi
I am wondering how to increase the number and frequency of sales abroad. From
your perspective, both the buyer and the seller, are there any key elements that
are important when selling overseas?
What I am offering at the moment is for sure:
- prices around -10% vs 6m average
- no fees (paypal, packing etc)
- cheap shipping
What else can encourage shoppers to shop outside of their country of residence
more often?
My store: https://store.bricklink.com/Hidden_Treasure&utm_content=globalnav#/terms
thank you for any suggestions

This is not the case when looking at the prices of items on a monthly basis.
Besides, while the prices of the sets are rising, stores will not radically lower
their prices, it is a road to nowhere, with such an assumption, in a year or
two this business will cease to be profitable.

| Have better prices on higher value but lower weight parts (mainly minifigs and
minifig parts but also some unique parts). International buyers are unlikely
to be buying heavy but cheap parts - those are more for the domestic market.
I took a look at six minifigures in your store that I had on a wants list. All
can be had cheaper in the UK and even cheaper than that from other EU sellers.
VAT makes things more difficult for UK buyers these days. However, if you want
to sell to EU buyers, then you will have to be well priced compared to other
EU sellers. If a buyer from France can buy from Germany or The Netherlands cheaper
than from you, they won't buy from you unless shipping is hugely different
or you can supply large quantities of items they want.
