I am only getting 1-2 sales every couple weeks. I have about 64,000 parts in
my store. Any tips to help increase sales?

From my point of view, a $4 minimum buy and the 1.50 handling fee would definitely
put me off buying from your store.

Thank you. I will try removing that.

Also, don't ask domestic customers for their phone #.

I wouldn't. Those are perfectly reasonable.

Especially the minimum ... handling fees might be different depending on what
the shipping cost is already (I didn't delve that deeply). But a $4.00 minimum
is NBD.

Why? Those are both low.

my store. Any tips to help increase sales?

A trick i learned, then realized it seemed to work:

Put at least 2 figurines from any given line (ie SW or NJO or LOC etc.) on sale,
I usualy do 10% off. When people look at your store and CLICK the BOX "Show
items on sale" they will see only those few figurines pop up.

This helps attract attention in the price guide, algo and the store level.

I "cheat" a bit, say I want 10$ for a figurine, I make the price 11$
and then apply the 10% OFF, which comes to the same math, BUT attracts buyers
to the fact you are "having a sale" and usually might get them to buy
more figurines from your inventory.

I do this with sets, usually putting a small set at a ridiculously low price,
hoping the customer will then look at my store as a whole. I do this, in exmaple,
with a Star Wars small set, hoping the customer will then look at my figurines
and other sets and make a bundle purchase.

Hope this helps.
