Hello! I recently made a new store to sell some of my old Lego sets and I'm
unsure what shipping methods/setups/prices would work best for me. I am not
looking to be a long-time buying/selling store; I just want to put some old sets
I don't have room for at home anymore on the market.

Any suggestions?

Your best bet to have set up only Manual Invoicing at checkout. Once someone
places an order, pack up the set carefully and weigh it. Get a price quote from
Pirateship or Shipstation and that's what you should charge.

Make sure you have appropriate boxes and packing materials before you start listing
them.

Thanks for the Pirateship/Shipstation suggestions! I'll look into them and
try out the Manual Invoicing route. Videos I watched mentioned that buyers tend
to not like it as much as Automatic Invoicing but I would imagine that is generally
for stores that sell individual parts or are in the continual buying/selling
market.
