Hello, new seller here.

I just started selling here and I have some rare parts/figs. I know making
my first sale won't happen right away, but I was wondering if my prices are
alright. If you guys have any remarks please feel free to tell me

A small store like yours should be priced below the 6-month average rather than
between that and the current price.

No comments on the prices, but I'd pad out your terms, particularly add a
shipping table. Also I would scrub the part about not being responsible for
untracked post. That won't end well for you if there's a problem.

Does that have to do with this perhaps?

Hello, and welcome...

Being abrupt by nature, I'm hoping you don't take it wrongly

You don't have enough parts to offer fair input there. But as to your used
SW minifigs: you might wanna adjust your price expectations downward. At least
until you get the ball rolling with your sales numbers and seller rep.

Hopefully not too abrupt

You might want to try listing some cheaper items to try and get some sales to
build up some feedback. Not only are your prices a bit high, you have no history
of selling so buyers are likely to ignore your store rather than risk a lot of
money with a new seller.

Hi! are you concerned about getting a lot of sales quickly or more willing to
wait for the right buyers? Stores that do well seem to have either low prices
or a huge selection that can accommodate the average buyer's wish list. You
can go in a couple different directions here.
- Stay as is and wait for the right buyers,
- Get a few sets to part out to round out your selection, or
- lower the prices of your stock.

There might be some other ideas from the forum and the more experienced sellers;
this is my limited opinion! Have an epic day!

International shipping rates will also reduce the number of potential buyers.
