| Has anyone figured out how to limit a shipping method to certain item types?
For example, I want to set up a method just for minifigs and collectible minifig
sets. Yes, the buyer and seller can handle this manually, but wouldn't it
be nice to automate?

You simply can't.
Apart filtering which method accept the size and weight of a Set for instance.
Or setting manually some crazy size to all your Minifigs...
But basically there's no option for this.

LOL, yes, like a 3 ft tall Minifig
But you'll have to do this for every lot, rather painful INO...

Hopefully it wasn't due because you were gone

How would you design this in the shipping restrictions? I only see a max size,
not a minimum size.

Put the OTHER shipping methods to allow less than 3 ft height for example

Yes! Maybe use a different dimension by type. Difficult to maintain for big stores,
but easy for those run by people witch childlike minds. I'll need to go any
play with this now. Merci!

Ask your neighbor to set up a BL store (all their info including paypal info),
operate it for them. Offer to do their taxes and of course cover the tax bill.
Have either store have only what you want to sell with shipping options.
Or have your significant other open the store, use separate address/paypal/etc...
and do the same. I don't think there are restrictions on two separate people
within feet of each other operating under the same roof, as long as all information
about both stores/accounts are 100% unique from each other. I see it as no different
than if my brother lived with me and he wanted his own shop too. We would just
need to have separate addresses or two PO boxes and of course all his sales go
to his paypal and all mine go to my paypal.
Maybe there would be an issue with IP address being the same, but I'm sure
there are ways (like a VPN) to disguise that too or would it even be an issue
if everything is 100% separated from each other.

Why would you treat bricks with the same dimensions from different categories
differently?
What’s next, shipping methods by brick color??
What if someone buy’s both figures and bricks?

Good question. I set up instant check-out for parts and minifigs for US buyers
but will use manual invoicing for other orders.

If it is an international thing, limits can be made of "how much" can
be shipped in terms of weight/size/both

Then it's even easier 
You can define an auto Ship Method for Local, and leave International to be invoiced
manually.
You don't need to do anything complicated for this.

Read more carefully. US Parts and minifigs = auto. US other types like sets and
all international = manual.
But don't worry. If I set up auto pay for France, I will permit you to place
the first order.
