variety is key, you have a small niche store. Orders will come but will take
a while. Especially sets can take a long time to sell.

New sellers are not allowed off site payment methods like IBAN. you need at least
10 positive feedback and 3 months of selling experience before you can request
to have offsite payment methods enabled. so you should remove that from your
terms.

Also check the rules on PayPal for your country. in a lot of countries they say
you are not allowed to charge the PayPal fee, but say that you must add that
into your prices.
A lot of European countries also have law against charging fees for different
payment methods, so if you offer free bank transfers, all your other payment
methods must also be free.

I took a quick glance at your listings:

Minifigures that have been displayed in any way or form must be listed as used,
not new.

for sets if you list them as new/sealed you do not have to say that again in
the description

this one has me a bit puzzled:
How can you know the light works if its sealed? (I don't know anything about
Bionicle so it might be possible)

Greetings and thanks!
I will change the payment issues and the rest
But graphicly it displays enough information?
For the light, the piraka head battery is in a special part of the cannister.
So you dont need to open the cannister to test the light

I see you have mostly sets and a few Minifigures. Try to get more Minifigures
and a few parts since they sell better (from my experience). Hopefully this helps
since I am also a new seller!

yes, in my opinion it gives enough information to potential buyers.

  For the light, the piraka head battery is in a special part of the cannister.

Cool, I did not know that. Learn something new everyday

You don't have much. You need to wait until a Bionicle or Hero Factory set
fan comes along.

For the minifigure ... Not played with assembled once , excellent condition
comes with all parts


Yes, you can sell figures assembled as new if you want. But is it really new?
If you assembled it and displayed it or any other reason except for convenience
in storage and selling, it ought to be sold as used.

Welcome to bricklink!
Just a heads up, you seem to have 2 different thresholds for free delivery to
some of the same regions, one at 350 and one at 500
