You don't say in which exact cases it doesn't work (country, amount...)

I would NOT set min buy for the shop, as you did I think.

I would set min buy to the Shipping Methods, but:

* don't miss one (may arrive if you've multiples)

* type decimals using "." dot and not a coma "," or simply
avoid decimals (like 20 instead of 20.00)

Hey guys

I just now started to sell outside my country after we got all the permits (yes,
you need some for some countries, like for what shipping material you need, at
least as a company you need it).

So anyhow, we added a min-buy for shipping outside our country, but it seems
not to be working.

How it's setup:

I have shipping for my country
I have additional shipping for 4 other countries that i want to ship to

The store has no min-buy
The shipping in my country has no min-buy
The shipping for the 4 additional countries does have a min-buy (20.00)

So i'm not sure what i do wrong and why its not working? Anyone any idea
or do i miss an important step?

Thanks for any feedback.

I get about 5 orders a month. I only use Paypal and Paypal has a shipping option
which I use. I print the label on regular paper and tape it to the box or envelope.
Not elegant and probably not cost effective, but it works for me.

  Hi, I am going to start selling Lego pieces. I'm not sure how to print the
shipping label, Is that done through the shipping software, i.e. Ship station
or pirateship? Do you need to insert lables into your printer or do you need
a separate label printer? Thanks in advance for your help.

You print through the shipping software (I use pirate ship).

Any laser/inkjet printer can print on Avery labels (use 1/2 sheet labels or 4x6)
or I guess you can just tape the paper label to the package.
If you have a laser printer, I would not purchase a label printer until you are
shipping multiple orders a day. If you are using an ink jet printer, I would
purchase a label printer on day 1 (the cost per page is high with inkjet).

People will recommend various label printers, my experiences;
Dymo 4xl - my first label printer (replaced 2 times under warranty) - don't
buy
Zebra LP2844 - cheap (ebay) and reliable - mine is from 2001 - and it still works
great (changed print head once)
Zebra ZD420 - personal favorite (have 2) - wifi, bluetooth - finicky to setup
- workhorse and very fast
The Zebra printers can use generic labels, so the cost per page is very cheap.

  As a seller, is it possible to add the option of tracking for buyers, without
insurance?

I use Royal Mail 'Tracked 48' delivers in 2 -3 days, cost is same for
Large Letter upto 750 grams, and it gives insurance upto £150

I go online to Royal Mails website, and do the postage there, it's a little
confusing to start with, but it does get easier! Once you get postage done online,
it's a quick visit to the post office, they scan it and away it goes!

I have a dedicated printer I bought from Amazon ~ https://www.amazon.co.uk/Phomemo-Thermal-PM246S-Shipping-Compatible/dp/B0BX3CSK7K/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?crid=1WBFKI2RFJ24X&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.qjrYPL5GVUODujSFPByXaaiKmvlKTzRGo3i-YblOh4fGjHj071QN20LucGBJIEps.PL0JFoXyp_HSm8jV1chXdjWWxTko32T2P5LLzxU8btI&dib_tag=se&keywords=pm246s&qid=1711650983&sprefix=pm246s%2Caps%2C245&sr=8-1-spons&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9hdGY&psc=1

I also bought a roll of labels ~ https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B08B3ZRCZF?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_dt_b_product_details

Hope this helps

Mike
