Comic font was fun in 1980
It doesn't show Comic if there's not this font on the machine where it's
displayed - it's a font family I guess, and the approx closest is displayed
instead.
What bothers me is why Nubs_Select doesn't have this one?
I'd guess he wrote ALL his documents in Comic Sans

You can also choose your “fantasy” font in your browser settings. That is, the
font used when the page says “font: fantasy” or has “fantasy” as a failover (so
says “font: comic sans, fantasy” IINM) and the main font can’t be found. Or
it may be, as you say, a more general failover (when “fantasy” isn’t specified)
(but then, why would it choose a fantasy font if it doesn’t know squat about
Comic sans (as the font is not there)?).
Font handling is funny (not).

I'm sorry for you.
I'd:
* implement AC/IP - nowadays the old "wait for the invoice" thing is
a pain
* rewrite my terms, including dropping the colors and the COMIC Sans MS or such
font 
* and why not sell International, while it may not bring a lot, at least it could
be better than none.
G'luck!

November was very slow for me but December picked up. People seem to be buying
whatever I have of the newest parts and molds and, even more so, older rare parts.
Almost every order has some unique part and then a bunch of filler. (My store
is mostly parts not sets so I can't give advice there.) So, I would say add
New variety or add Used variety.
Also, set up Instant Checkout for your small First Class shipments. If you have
at least one IC shipping method, you get the little lightning bolt and won't
be so easily excluded from buyer searches. IC is intimidating at first, but you
already appear to use flat-rate shipping table, so it should be an easy transition.
Clean up your terms. Make fewer negative statements and demands on buyers there.
Clean up your payment methods too as sales tax and Onsite have made most of that
stuff obsolete.
Good luck!
Jen

| I just came to the forum to ask if someone could check my store to see if it's
working properly as my sales are ridiculously low this month - and this was the
first thread I saw. So, yep, seems like a lot of us are in the same boat at the
moment.....

yah sales were up for about a week but have called back down again. probably
due to the recession we are in/about to enter as for the most part lego would
be one of the first things people cut out

Mine have been good but I've not had an order in a few days, which I've
chalked up to people doing Christmas shopping - that is, they're no longer
placing BL orders because they wouldn't arrive until after Christmas Day.
Not completely unexpected - of course the last two years I was already closed
at this point.

Yep this, I was steady until a few days ago then it fell off a cliff. I figure
people are either busy, out of money, or know its a bad idea to ship gifts right
now.
January is usually insane busy, so I'm withholding judgement until then as
to whether or not sales are "actually" slow.
My ebay was busy until a few days ago too, as was FB marketplace, its nice to
have different sites and buyers to pull experience from. I wish I had more time
I'd set up other places.
