I'm not sure how much of a difference it will make, but I'm removing
my minimum purchase requirement. I'm a small-time seller so this may just
bea coincidence, but I've noticed business dried up after I put it in place.
If any experienced sellers have other advice on how to improve my store, I would
appreciate it.

Your shop looks fine, you just need to keep listing more stock.
If I had to guess, I would say the $1 minimum had nothing to do with sales slowing
down - maybe you listed some rare/interesting parts initially that were snapped
up in the first few orders. Also as Nubs mentioned, it’s a slower time of year,
hopefully your sales will pick up in the fall. Keep building your inventory and
they will come!

It still shows that error message.

I suggest you look in the Help Center and see if there's any settings you've
missed.

IF that doesn't solve it, open a support ticket with the Help Desk and see
if they can help resolve the issue.

Cheers ...

BrickLink has to collect GST on orders to Australia that are under AUD 1000.
You're seeing that message because the store doesn't have an onsite payment
method.

I doubt going from $1 minimum to no minimum will make any difference at all.

You are probably better off turning off international orders until you get more
experience and set up onsite payments.
