Late reply but maybe this will also help future sellers: No, no, no! On Amazon essentially the same thing works until you get caught. You may make a few extra thousand doing this until you get busted but the downside is loss of selling privileges for you and everybody in your household for life. Particularly if you are a newer seller (less than 2 years consistent and solid history) you will get booted very quickly for the most minor of complaints. These days it is supremely difficult to open new and unlinked seller accounts that do not get banned within a few hours to a few weeks. It is only going to get harder going forward. Assume you get one account for life which could be worth millions or tens of millions over your selling career in net profit, depending on your work ethic. If you want to sell US sets then buy US sets to hold and sell is my advice. If you are just in it for a quick cash grab and for sure won't be selling again after a few months then go for it, but keep in mind there are also way easier methods to make much more money on Amazon in the short term by risking certain suspension.

I borrowed exciters time machine and found a mom n pop with 30+ nice sets 0-50% off, all clearanced out of the big stores last year. The 12 sports centres were $20, marked that price since May lol

This is why I always add a disclaimer on my orders that items may have minor box damage or shelf wear. I am aware that it eliminates certain buyers, but I feel it prevents a lot of problems too.

Obvious answer: Death Star

I don't care what you do with your account, but technically, you are wrong. You have zero responsibility after you ship it to Florida. I have shipped dozens of things to the coast that are ultimately being put in a shipping container to China or Japan, for the end user. I don't sell overseas either. But, that is why the buyer, who wants things from this country, gets them shipped to a US address. Because it absolves you of blame (you shipped to a certified address) and lets them buy from sellers who otherwise wouldn't sell to them.

So VW van is retiring!!? Woohoo!!

To finish off my fruitcake story, eBay initially refunded him. I appealed and after a 20 minute phone call with very pleasant reps, they reversed the decision.

I use excel, don't see any issues with it as I know Excel very very well. To me, the data is the same. In Excel for my set inventory, it is probably 1,000-2,500 rows long but each year I clear out anything that sold to start with my beginning inventory for the year again. Then add anything newly acquired afterwards so I have past year and current years separated on the same tab, but then once again, will merge the data, sort it, and repeat. I also put every bricklink sale on there too. I know BL has a downloadable spreadsheet to give you this but I have my own which also calculates all fees automatically and all I need to type in is actual shipping cost. Since I deduct a portion of inventory with every piece that is sold, it works great for that too to track my inventory deduction from my parting out side of things too. Another tab for all direct expenses and another tab for mileage. Then a final tab in the front that summarizes everything for me in terms of all revenue broken out nicely, all expenses, and all inventory purchased and sold. To the OP, if you excel is "slowing" down, I would suggest an upgrade of your computer parts. Excel shouldn't slow much down unless the file is absolutely huge.

I use Google Sheets to hold my data. Same idea as using Excel, but there is no native database app to mimic Access on Google. I’m also a Mac user, so I understand your frustration. You could try App Sheet. It’s an app that will consume your Google Sheet data and display it. It’s not the most user friendly app. But once you start digging you get the hang of it. I’ve used it for a couple of years and like it well enough to keep using it. Another alternative could be getting a SharePoint Online account. If your a little tech savvy you could load your data to a SharePoint list and then design a form to allow input. I’m a SharePoint developer tho, so I may be underplaying how easy it would be. I keep meaning to do it, but I haven’t yet. Maybe it’s time to do it and charge $10/year to have your own database there.

lowest instock fba is $500 atm. the village is hitting 2.195 msrp. using similar logic that gets mountain cave $550ish however the magic spice is the seller count on mountain cave is only 3 where its 11 on the village. top performing theme like minecraft where very low seller count sets like witch huts are selling for $190s - maybe this thing can get to $750 in a year or so. but then comes the worry of getting scammed. surprised its doing this well given that it did linger a little on amazon.

A PM of the buyer's name would be great for adding to the ol' blocked list. That is pretty ridiculous.

U.S. Market is the one I am watching closely, Homer and Krusty could be the numero uno if ended in Europe shortly and dont make a return in US.
