Selling Platform

[LegoFanTexas]

Quick note, amazon has very high traffic, but is a sellers worst nightmare in regard to thier terms and conditions.
You are required to accpt returns even if the item has been opened.
You have little to no recourse against bad buyers returning damaged goods.
And if you upset more than one buyer(for smaller sellers, no idea what the % is but its low) to the point they rate you negatively your seller account is closed permanently and you are banned with no appeal system.

So just be aware the traffic comes with a price.

Echoing this. Also some people have had terrible experiences with FBA, between the forced acceptance of all returns and counterfeit sticker-less commingled items shipped by other people and sold with your name: http://www.startupnation.com/business-b ... a-program/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

And taxes are a nightmare since amazon warehouses are everywhere now.

Anyone who wants to sell on Amazon, but is used to eBay, needs to read this thread.

Amazon is not ebay, not by a long shot.

I sell on ebay. I don't really sell for profit really though. I mainly buy sets and sell the figures to keep the pieces. I try to find sets that allow me to do so and either break even or make a tiny profit. I also invest in a few sets each year and sell them a few years later (complete sealed set) on ebay. Every monthly bill is very painful plus paypal fees. I'm just in for the LEGO pieces and to make enough money to support my LEGO habit. I offer 1.99 shipping when it costs 2.07 to ship a minifigure or two plus packaging supplies and the time spent. I've had several say that my shipping rates are "decent" when I not only offer shipping rates just mentioned but I also offer free shipping for 3 or more items. People don't have a clue.

I love purchasing from brinklink but selling looks as though it would be very confusing at first.

Hi, I'm Koay from Malaysia and interested with LEGO and bricks toys.
I want to have deal with you, can you please give me your email or contact me via kjkoay@gmail.com?

Hope to get your reply ASAP, thanks

Geese, I just notices PayPal just raised their rates to over 4 percent.. I remember it's was 3 percent...Time for new competition to come in....

Has anyone tried Square for their email to email payment system? I heard it is great for small businesses.

Ebay fees are nuts. I recently sold a laptop for 800 bucks and with Paypal and Ebay Fees it was 80 bucks going to them.
