If there's any other essential information I need to know, please let me
know.

I did not read all the replies but here are my suggestions that made me a fairly
good seller"
1. Use your own pictures, not stock photos.
2. List everything that is not perfect with your sets and the boxes and bricks.
3. Keep your terms simple and easy to read and figure out what it means to the
buyer. Terms is not a way to get more money from a buyer.
4. Check the listings of what is for sale and price accordingly. Price is dependent
on condition and how quickly you want to sell your item.
5. If you put the item as complete, make sure. I inventoried or built all sets
months before I started selling.
6. Ship very quickly. You have their money, they should have their items quickly.
7. I used minimum purchases. If any asked me to go under the minimum I took
their order. If someone needed one part, I sent it for free. That is better
than all the advertising you can do.
8. Treat your buyers like you wanted to be treated, or better.
9. You will not become rich because of Bricklink, just picking up a few bucks
here and there.
10. Leave feedback once the order is paid. That is the quickest way to build
your feedback history.
11. If you have a sale make it a real sale. Don't flood the forum announcing
your sale.
12. Work with your buyers. Never get angry, just go by the facts. Be polite
even if a buyer has screwed you somehow.
13. Package very well, in a way they will be your items forever. Don't
let "your" items get damaged in transit.
14. Have fun and enjoy the people you come in contact with. Bad sentence (Churchill
said "Ending a sentence with a preposition is something I can not up with
put."

Hope this helps a bit,
John P

There is a lot to take in with this. I apologize if this comes off as incoherent. When I was a kid in the 00s, I was a huge Lego collector, according to Brickset 129 sets in [...]
