welcome to bricklink! there really isnt much to do to increase sales other then
adding lots and lots of inventory (there are some but those usually only apply
once the store get much bigger).

ps, you have

"We accept payment via [PayPal]. Any other methods contact me directly i
will get back to you within 24hr"

in your terms but have

Payment Method Accepted for Buyers In USA:
Credit/Debit (Powered by Stripe)
PayPal (Onsite)

as you payment options which means any buyer can choose paypal or stripe during
checkout, there isnt any other payment methods allowed (to states that bricklink
has to collect sales tax from, which is most) since the payment must be onsite
(with either paypal onsite or stripe as the only options) so bricklink can collect
sales tax.

Best of luck!

I don't really have anything to add except that new sellers need at least
10 positive feedback and 3 months of selling experience before they can request
to have alternative payment methods enabled.

And as nubs has stated any order that has sales tax need an onsite payment method
(PayPal or Stripe)

I think that in one place you said payments in US$ only, but somewhere else you
say $ or euros??
