>>9762997I've looked through all the other stores that sell the parts I was going to get from the suspended store. There was one part in particular that I wanted, that was the whole basis of the order and I want 20-30 of it. The suspended store was selling this part for AU$3.50 and had a couple of hundred of them in stock. The cheapest store now, is selling them for AU$4.50 and only has 100 of them, but is selling them in multiples of 100. So if I go for the cheapest store currently, not only am I paying $1 more for each piece, I'm also paying for more then I actually want and on top of that, shipping will cost twice as much then from the suspended store. The next store is selling the part for over AU$7, but only has 2 of them in stock. They also have a minimum buy of AU$75 at there store. The next store after that has over 70 of the part in stock, but wants AU$8 each.
Another part is readily available in dozens of stores, a lot for cheaper, but I also want 20+ of it and no other store has more then 10 of them for within the same price range.
So, IF it is possible that this store might be unsuspended, I would rather buy from it and get the quantity I want for a good price, instead having too pay too much and run around to multiple stores.
>>9763008If a store is suspended for scamming buyers, BL lists the reason as "Three or more Completed NSS/NRS" (pic related). The store I was going to buy from is listed as "Violation of BrickLink's Term's of Service".
Now the store in question has a positive feedback of just shy of 99.9% from almost 14k orders. The most recent non-positive feedback is a couple of neutrals from the last year that are basically "order arrived missing a single piece, got refund" or "Received used part instead of new, given refund" or "Parcel took 3 months to arrive at bumbfuck nowhere". I've also bought from this store in the past with no issue and further more if there were, I sure as fuck wouldn't waste my time whining about it on /lg/.
