FAQ
Questions
Who is Brickventra for?
LEGO resellers who buy sets and sell them complete or part them out, on BrickLink and Brick Owl and wherever else they sell — eBay, Facebook Marketplace or in person. Collectors can use it too, to know what their collection cost and what it's worth.
Does it replace my BrickLink or Brick Owl store?
No. You carry on selling where you already sell. Brickventra is your own record of stock, costs and profit: it keeps your BrickLink and Brick Owl stores in step with it, and keeps track of the listings you have on other sites like eBay and Facebook Marketplace.
How is profit worked out?
Profit is what you received, less any refunds, minus what the item cost, the selling fees and the postage and packing you paid. It shows your cash profit and, separately, a figure that also counts rewards like Insider points and cashback.
How does Restock decide what to buy?
From your own sales on BrickLink and Brick Owl, never the wider market: how fast each part sells over the days you actually had it in stock, with any one unusually large order capped so it can't skew the rate. It allows for what you hold and what is already on order, and suggests enough to cover your chosen number of days. Fewer than three orders is never enough to call for a restock.
Where do market prices come from?
From the channels you connect, such as BrickLink price guides and eBay. Every figure shows how old it is, and out-of-date data is flagged rather than shown as live.
How does the free trial work?
Sign up and you get 30 days with every feature, and no card is asked for. Subscribe from Billing whenever you like; if you subscribe during the trial, you keep its remaining days and nothing is charged until it ends. There's one free trial per seller: signing up again, or connecting a BrickLink or Brick Owl store that has already had a trial, has to subscribe straight away.
How does Pay as you sell work?
There's no monthly fee and no minimum. Each paid order from your BrickLink or Brick Owl store costs 1% of what the buyer paid for the items, not counting delivery; unpaid and cancelled orders cost nothing, and a refund takes off what was refunded. However much you sell, one month's orders never cost more than £10 in all. What you owe is added to your monthly renewal once it reaches £10; under that, it carries forward and is added to the next month's. The dashboard always shows what you owe so far.
Can I cancel any time?
Yes, from Billing in the app, whenever you like. You keep full access until the end of the current month. Anything you still owe, even under £10, is charged to your card when your subscription ends; if that payment doesn't go through, the amount is added to your first payment should you subscribe again.
What happens to my data when a trial or subscription ends?
It's kept for 3 days, in case you change your mind: subscribe in that time and you're straight back in with everything as you left it. We email you when it ends and again the day before. After that, your workspace and everything in it are removed for good. Two things are kept, so the free trial stays one per seller and nothing owed is lost: a scrambled, one-way code made from your email address, your store names and your store API keys, which can't be turned back into them but tells us if they're used again; and a record of any amount left unpaid.
