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

Package with Care

- Use sturdy mailers or boxes
Customer Communication

Inventory Management

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.
