Thanks in advance for anyone who can help with this.
I've been a seller for a couple weeks now. I have 2 shipping options - USPS
Ground Advantage and Request for Quote. All orders up til now have been Ground
Advantage, and this option works great. Today I got my first Request for Quote
(RFQ). PROBLEM: when I go to My Store / Quotes, the RFQ is not listed. So I can't
give a quote.

I'm guessing that I haven't set up my RFQ shipping option correctly.
AND I'm guessing the problem is in the 'Destination & Base Rate"
section. [FYI, under Management / Store Inventory Options, I DO have "Accept
Quote Requests" checked.]

Here's how I have my 'Request for Quote' shipping option set up:

Name: Request for Quote
Enabled
Invoicing: Manual
Show estimated fees on:
Checkout page - not checked
Allow quote request - checked
Order Received page - not checked

Destination & Base Rate
Domestic
Flat rate
Rate chart
Domestic / USD 1.00

No Discounts

Insurance & Additional Charges (I created the same table that I have under USPS
Ground Advantage)

Tracking: for Domestic when shipping fee is over 1.00

No handling fees

Restrictions and Adjustments
Min buy 5.00
No package restriction
Package adjustment
Apply weight margin: 5%
Add base weight: 1 oz.

Thanks for the suggestion, but my other shipping option is Automatic, which means
that the "Allow quote request" checkbox isn't available.

I actually resolved the problem this morning. I changed the 'Destination
& Base Rate' section to look exactly like it does in my 'USPS Ground
Advantage' shipping option (Weight band with a table of rates). Then I logged
in with my alternate Bricklink account, requested a quote, then logged in with
my Bricklink seller account and Eureka! I got a Quote Request!

Glad to hear it’s sorted out!
