The last couple of months my sales are very low.
Maybe it's the time of the year. Since July i barely hit 10 orders per month
and September is 5 up until now.
I have been uploading parts quite frequently and pushed the inventory to 71k
but didnt change anything in terms of sales. I have also updated my prices through
Brickstore just to get them more in line with the current 6mo avg range and be
more competitive.
Afaik my terms and shipping is ok too and i have nothing but good reviews.
Would someone take a minute and see if there is something off in my store? would
be greatly appreciated

SVBrickShop can not be held accountable for any damages or losses incurred after
order has been shipped.

This and Paypal charges are offputting.

The accountable term is indeed a fair point and also deleted it.

You don't ship to Canada or the USA, a lot of customers there, plus the Paypal
charge ; include it in your prices.

Good luck

Thank you for your reply. The PayPal charge is included in the terms. Since i
have instant checkout it should be there.
I am currently only shipping in Europe (before it was worldwide, but the shipping
costs did turn many buyers off...)

Thank you for your support

That is the point. Buyers see that you add on a percentage to orders rather than
charge it in your prices so they might not like it and so shop elsewhere.

Yes, if ALL your lots are 5% in reality more expensive, then simply add 5% to
your prices.

People donc like bad surprises at the check out, or worse, when they've paid
and it's too late. This can make you get Least-Favorited, or have them never
come back, or receive a negative feedback for example.
