It would be (very) helpful to extend the existing search filters to exclude stores
which do not ship to locations where orders are less than $x.

It is quite frustrating to be presented with a list of 20 stores only to find
that while they do ship to your location, this is conditional based on the order
amount (which is often very high e.g. $1,000).

Hi,

There’s a filter for MinBuy… but it’s only when you use Auto-select (checkbox
when you start it).

Also, for information, the AUD 1,000 limit isn’t directly set by the stores. 
It’s because Australia now wants marketplaces (BrickLink) to collect import GST
for orders below AUD 1,000.  And in order to do that, BL needs the transaction
to be done Onsite (with Stripe or PayPal Onsite (which is different from “PayPal”)). 
If the seller doesn’t allow any Onsite payment method for Australians, the website
automtically blocks orders below AUD 1,000.

You may try and contact them to explain to them they would gain potential customers
if they added Onsite payment methods.

It’s not only for Australians, there’s similar laws in the USA (no threshold),
EU (€150 total), UK (£135 total), Norway (NOK 3,000 per item), and New-Zealand
(NZD 1,000 per item):

Thanks for the explanation. That was really helpful. A consequence of Government
overreach, who would have thought...
