I opened my BrickLink store back in October and at first things seemed really
promising, I only had a few hundred items listed and still received two orders
in the first couple of weeks.
Since then, I’ve been working hard on expanding my inventory and currently have
over 11,000 parts listed. However, despite increasing my stock, I haven’t received
any orders in the last 3 weeks, which is starting to confuse me. I’ve been very
consistent with my pricing, checked my settings to make sure nothing changed,
and from what I can see everything should be correct.
I’m wondering if I might have missed something or accidentally changed a setting
without realizing it? I know it is a beginner question, but before I start trying
more changes, I figured it would be best to ask the community
If anyone could take a quick look or point out something I may have overlooked,
I’d really appreciate it. Thanks in advance!
Small stores don't get consistent orders. It might be that you sold the parts
that those two people wanted, or you underpriced some items that sold fast. And
what you've listed since hasn't been wanted at your prices or breadth
of inventory.
Or it might just be the weather, or the time of year (Black Friday coming up).

I also have a small store, about 15-16000 parts. I recently had a gap in sales
for nearly three weeks, then three orders, including my largest yet, arrived
in quick succession. My advice, for what it's worth, is keep on going. Buyers
will come.

I have seen what you write about a few dozen times on multiple platforms. I have
a few thousand new/sealed sets and the same happened to me.
Seems to be a uncertainty over 3-5 weeks. I think we all just need to put it
down for now to uncertain economic times and politics.
Us as humans always look for something or someone to blame like the common
theme " this only happened since BL and TLG merged" there is no truth
to this given the demographics and geographic of this.
Next month your sales should increased for 8 weeks. Then we can blame Bricklink
and say "how dare you make me pack all these bricks and make me extra money".
Weather the storm friend, its an unpredictable world.
Thank you all for your inputs and feedback! It does reassure me that at least
it's not something technically wrong with the shop itself I'll keep
monitoring and hopefully see some positive trend coming! Finger crossed!
