Hi. So I have a couple of old LEGO sets sitting around my house and I went to
this website for help on selling them? So I know that I need to get some positive
feedback on an order to get seller status, but I'm wondering on what happens
after that. When someone want's my order, how does shipping work? Can orders
be made to a debit card? Do I need specific UPS boxes if the person ordering
my set lives in another country or state? Would it be best to disassemble the
sets by bag number with minifigures included or sell the minifigures seprately?
Thanks!

You have to calculate shipping. It can be tricky, especially if you're selling
sets.

Sellers can typically offer PayPal and/or Stripe. A debit card can be used with
either, although with PayPal the buyer would need an account.

No specific box is needed! Everything should just be packed well and securely.
I would not worry about selling internationally at first.

I suggest you start by placing a few orders--which help you understand how
buying looks.

Then you can register as a seller--and learn how to do the store setting.

Whether selling sets or "parting out sets"--which could be parts+complete
MF / parts+ MF separated--it depends on your set. Normally, parting out means
higher selling price, but it takes time to sell all the parts. You also need
a considerable of parts to sell good

Lot number and number of items have its place too. In fact, my suggestion is
to learn by doing.
