Sorry if there is already a thread on this, but I have made my first sale on Bricklink, but I'm not sure how I'm supposed to go about it now and I was hoping some seasoned bricklinkers can help me out.

 

Someone wants to buy a lot of bricks, and it looks like now I have to send them an invoice? But shipping rates are not agreed upon beforehand (like on ebay)? So do I have to send them an Paypal invoice with the shipping cost included, and then send out the stuff when it goes through?

 

 

don't sell on bl but buy a lot from there.  the invoice with shipping cost always comes by a message threw bl and not paypal.  it always has the paypal account that need the money sent to(sometimes a link but not alway)

I'm so confused on how to use BL. I send a invoice message with the total they should send to my paypal email. I hope I did everything correctly!

There's a button for "invoice" where you can send an invoice thru bricklink with your paypal info. First go to your orders received tab and enter in postage and handling amounts so they populate in invoice.

Also, while you are correct that postage is not agreed upon as part of the sale, you should outline postage terms on your store terms. Just look at some other stores for examples.

Good luck!

Thanks! I couldn't figure out where to enter the shipping cost, but finally found it. I sent the invoice without it, and just typed in the total amount. Oops!
