  2. watch the seller univrsity videos for overview of process. this alone will take a while but is crucial to understanding what is actually going on. if you understand that you will be ready to roll. start out simple. send in 2-3 sets you are ready to sell now. something small like microfighters or an item you paid little for. your entire future selling on amazon will depend on you NOT getting negative feedback during these initial first sales. a few nitpicky negative feedbacks during your inaugural days as a seller may doom your store. there seems to be heightened scrutiny of new toy sellers at this time of year and even more so this year. if you receive negative feedback you will have little chance to recover by getting positives if you don't have a sales volume established . it may be a better idea to start selling during the post-xmas holiday period when people spend their gift cards and the expectations for perfection and timed arrival have diminished. ->You don’t have to have each Lego individually packaged in a shipping box within the main box? only for sets that are very high price or have appreciated greatly (e.g. $14.99 speed champions selling for $75 gets its own box before i send it in to fba.). .>I hear commingling is bad so does everyone print their own barcode on their Lego? Have you had any customer get angry about the sticker on the box? for many sets amazon doesn't even give you a choice anymore. no one has ever complained once about the sticker. >Do you limit how many sets you ship at a time? as many as possible - more sets = decreased cost of shipping per set. as you will learn, putting together an order in itself is somewhat of an art trying to minimize the number of distribution center and packaging each shipment box like a tetris of lego sets . in the end amazon tells you where to ship stuff. you might have 10x of a set, 3x go to one distribution center, 3x go to another and 2x to another. you have to piece together a large shipment set by set over time adding on to earlier shipment plan going to multiple distribution centers where you can stuff 24x20x20 boxes of items - 30-40lbs of lego at a time (or with a pallet and forklift if you are BTP) or if you have all your inventory listed you can just select all the items you want to convert to fba and make a shipping plan that way even quicker. if you just ship 3 or 4 sets to one dc and 2 or 1 to another -forget it - not worth it to me. using amazon prep? goodbye profit. again, all this is a little complicated at first . all it takes is a couple of mistakes during this time of year to screw your store if its just getting started fba and if you don't have a lot of positive feeback to buffer. so keep that in mind before jumping in with both feet. once you have "the hang" of it, you will wonder how you ever did things the way you did before.

  4. I think a lot of post retirement investing stopped happening on Amazon thus re-sellers tend to not be the ones buying your stock. Haven't had complaints on stickered inventory. Some people wrap there boxes with clear plastic bags and place a sticker on that. Yes and no. Storage fee's are insane October-December. Ideally you want your inventory to be received and sold nearly immediately. Making that happen is easier said then done. Amazon currently says shipments have to be sent out by Nov 5th to be ready for Black Friday. Sometimes I'll have a shipment take 2 weeks+ before anything is received. Other times its processed two days after i send it. Some sets will see a huge influx of stock and plummet in price. Others will have so much demand and not nearly enough inventory and the price will rocket through the roof.

  5. Decent build. The mouth-tail-wing play feature is clever. Box art doesn't do it any favors other than being kitschy. Looks better in person. Kind of a matching companion for the BB8 set.

  8. Sad to see this go. Had a lot of the parts in my inventory, so only cost me £40 to source missing parts. Sold for £150. So nice profit, as I start to reduce my Lego collection and inventory.

  10. I’ve said it before , while I understand the temptation , learning how to fba during the holiday season can be a disaster and I wouldn’t advise it . You can end up losing much more than you would earn . @landphieran, I believe it has to be recieved by Nov 5th rather than sent out .

  13. I am used to Spider-Man crafting all sorts of gadgets and gear but always found it odd when he suddenly pulled out a vehicle or mech cool as they looked such as the Spider Crawler here. For as acrobatically mobile he is, what does Spider-Man need a buggy for? Haha. Well anyway, the huge Venom is rather rad although the torso area appears kind of flat compared to the rest of the form. Poor Aunt May, I am surprised she hasn't had a heart attack twice over.

  15. My best advice is to watch the seller university video, it explains a lot. Commingling isn't an option any more. Each item gets a unique bar code, which you can apply yourself or have amazon do for you.

  17. The past couple years they dropped price 2 days before Christmas, then again day after. You have to get there early day after Christmas because last year all 4 of my stores shipped everything back to warehouse day after christmas. I was only able to clear out 2 of them Sent from my iPhone using Brickpicker Forum mobile app

  23. I asked the same question of an Amazon rep recently. They stated that if you do a full refund then all the fees will be reversed. If you do a partial refund (in this case you're retaining the shipping fees) then they do charge fees (I'm not sure if it's prorated). Had I know that before I did my partial refund I would have opted to just do a full refund and ask the seller to leave me good feedback. From personal experience, when I didn't refund the buyer a $4.99 shipping fee I got $3 in Amazon fees on a $75 motherboard - now I would just refund the shipping fees in full and make the buyer happy.

  24. Personally, I like Amazon much better than Ebay. The fees are higher, but the traffic is much much better in my experience, particularly if you can reach Featured Merchant status. However, it is generally better if you're trying to move sets in larger quantities, rather than trying to get the absolute highest price for every set.
