Nope.

Listing items, and running a shop does not cost you anything. Bricklink just takes a (3%, I believe) fee for the items you sell in an order (They don't charge a fee pn your shipping costs).

It sure beats the high (8%?) final value fees over on eBay. Not to mention listing fees and stuff.

Of course, if you are going to accept Paypal as a method of payment, you'll have to pay the Paypal fees. But for the simplicity of it, I don't mind paying that.

Good luck with your shop!

You also won't actually have to pay Bricklink until you rack up a certain amount of fee. I believe its something like $5 for those in the US and $10 for those outside.

Correct. It's 3% on product. If you go above certain values, they percentage goes down to 2 for anything above, and then to 1 percent, and then if there's over 5 dollars after a month they will ask you to send it in.

Here's a link to the Bricklink Fee Table. Should prove helpful as well:

This was very helpful. I'm thinking of opening a store myself to get rid of some excess parts, if I can actually get myself to sell them. I'm one of those "but this part might just come in handy some day" builders.
