legorunner Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 I wonder if this works for them at other merchants? When I go out to dinner tonight and the waitress asks for my card to pay, can I instead demand to pay with seashells? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raindog Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 Funny incident but it does bring up the point that maybe the time is right for BrickLink to start recognizing, and providing for, vendors such as Venmo and even Amazon pay. I know that many users are moving from Paypal and I get more and more orders paying with Stripe. Stripe's fees are killing me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fees are similar on all payment methods and Venmo is owned by Paypal. I'd much rather they work on seller tools or tax exemption.

Thanos75 Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 (edited) My wife runs a business that handels Credit Card fees for small business. She has saved small and large businesses a lot of money in fees. If the customer is using anything other than cash then a 3% fee is added to the bill. So instead of the business paying the fees the customer does. He business is booming because several of her clients would have had to shut down if not for the money they are saving credit card fees.

I also understand that my customers have asked in the past if there are alternate ways to pay other than PP or Stripe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

legorunner Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 (edited) Our family is growing in size (yay) but that means that I'm losing the space where my BL Store currently lives. I am going to be able to keep selling minifigures and minifigure parts, but all of the other basic parts need to go. I just started running a sale and will liquidate what I can in the next few weeks, then I might just dump the rest on eBay or pack it up for another year. That said, if anyone wants to add some parts to their store for cheap, I'd gladly sell all of it to someone for a deep discount off of the 6 month sales average (around $1550 right now). About 17000 parts spread across around 3200 lots I would guess about 4/5s new, 1/5 used Full disclosure: storage and sorting of parts is on average mediocre. All parts are sorted and I can send you the Brickstore File, but some parts are stored in large AkroMills drawers containing a variety of different parts, so you would need to sort a lot of the parts down from my own organization to get it to match your own. Technic parts are especially offensive I'm not looking to get rid of the AkroMills storage containers since those would drive up the shipping cost significantly, but I'm willing to negotiate. I have a few small damaged box / open box new sets and miscellaneous bags of new parts from a planned expansion that was put on hold that I would be willing to include as part of the deal as well DM me if interested. Edit: I'm in Charlotte, NC if anyone wants local pickup Edited May 29 by legorunner Location Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
