Seller Guide

Tips and best practices for creating successful gachapon machines on CapsuleCove.

Creating Great Listings

Take Quality Photos

  • Use good lighting - natural light works best
  • Show multiple angles of your items
  • Use a clean, uncluttered background
  • Make sure photos are in focus and high resolution
  • Include size references when helpful

Write Clear Descriptions

  • Be honest and accurate about what's included
  • List materials, dimensions, and any special features
  • Mention if items are handmade, limited edition, etc.
  • Use clear, friendly language

Building Fair Prize Pools

Keep Value Consistent

The gachapon experience should be fun and fair for everyone. Avoid creating prize pools where some items are significantly more valuable than others.

  • Don't include one "grand prize" with the rest being low-quality filler items
  • Aim for prizes that feel comparable in value and desirability
  • Variety is great, but quality should be consistent across all prizes
  • Think: would you be happy receiving any item from this machine?

Set Fair Pricing

Your price per roll should reflect the average value of items in your machine. Buyers should feel like they're getting their money's worth no matter which prize they receive.

Order Fulfillment

Ship Promptly

  • Aim to ship orders within 2-3 business days
  • Update order status when you ship
  • Provide tracking numbers whenever possible
  • If there's a delay, communicate with your buyer

Package with Care

  • Use appropriate padding and protection
  • Make sure items won't shift or break during shipping
  • Consider adding a thank you note or small extra (optional but appreciated!)
  • Use sturdy mailers or boxes

Customer Communication

Be Responsive

  • Reply to messages within 24-48 hours
  • Be friendly and professional
  • Address concerns promptly and fairly

Set Expectations

  • Be clear about processing and shipping times
  • Mention any potential delays upfront (holidays, etc.)
  • Update your listings if you're going on vacation

Inventory Management

  • Keep your stock counts accurate and up to date
  • Don't oversell - make sure you can fulfill all potential orders
  • Pause or close machines when you're low on inventory
  • Plan ahead for restocks

Building Your Reputation

Quality Matters

Consistently delivering quality items and great service will build trust and bring buyers back. Happy customers are your best marketing!

Stay Creative

Experiment with themed machines, seasonal items, and new designs. Keep your offerings fresh and exciting to maintain buyer interest.

Remember

The gachapon model works best when buyers trust that every roll is worth it. Focus on creating prize pools where every item is something you're proud to send out, price fairly, ship quickly, and communicate clearly. Your success as a seller depends on happy, repeat customers!
