Hey There,

I have been wanting to do this for ages, so many minifigures that need to be
shared with the world. I have just started loading figures but decided to open
my store as a soft start.

Would love to hear feedback or know if i have missed anything.

Thanks heaps.

welcome to bricklink!
I noticed you have

"Used: Parts and minifigures marked as used may have minimal wear. This may
include, but is not limited to: scratches, slight discoloration, dents, small
cracks etc."

but if your used item has cracks you should always say so in the individual item
description.

also you have

"we cannot be held responsible for lost mail or parcels sent overseas without
insurance or tracking. The risk of a lost item is borne by the buyer."

which you should remove/change as the seller is always responsible for the package
until its delivered even if you never bought insurance or tracking.

Thanks for letting me know, all figures are as new but i have held in zip lock

If the items have been used in any way then they’re to be listed as “Used”.

Thanks Kittybrickz,

I am hoping to focus on Minifigures but might move into Bricks if this gets enough
attention

Thanks

Hey,

Your small letter postage calculation seems incorrect. A small letter is $2.40,
plus you have a $1.50 packing fee. So should be $3.90 in total. When i added
1 minifigure to my cart it said a total of $3.70.

Also, note that letter shipping in Australia will be increasing to $3.00 for
a small letter in a couple of weeks, on April 3rd. A stamp will be going up
to $1.50 each.

Cheers

Hi,

It is now showing $4.50 for the small letter plus the the handling fee, so $3.00
plus $1.50.

This is correct pricing when the letter rate goes up on April 3rd.

However, until then, you want to put it back down to the current rate, so $2.40
plus $1.50.

So put the pricing down to the current rate and then change up to this rate on
April 3rd.

Hopefully this makes sense.

I am happy to check again for you once you change it. Leave another message
in the forum.

Good luck with the store.
