Not possible, despite it making complete sense. In fact on every webstore I've
used I get a billing and delivery address, even the certified store has that
here so it is nothing strange.
You will have to continue changing the address here every time

I do not think sellers can see your history any longer so it is just inconvenient.

We agree - it is strange and very old fashioned. It is a strong reason why we
do not use stores where online payment (paypal is used) the addres validation
does not work properly.
We need at least 2 addresses . We can have as many addresses as we need on Paypal
why not here?

We share your issue with 2 locations for our store but nothing like this is going
to be done until the new owners are in and settled and reach out to the membership
for priorities etc.

That’s what Wanted Lists are for.
When you have made a Wanted List, go to the Buy page ( https://www.bricklink.com/v2/wanted/buy.page
).
Select your WL and it will show you all the stores that have some (or all) your
wanted items.
There are many options on the page.

If you create a wanted list then visit a shop you can then view the wanted items
that the shop has available

Thank you for sharing.
I was wondering why Swanberg's account retained the name. Since major contributors
will not be turned into blusers at some point, then I feel much better about
the whole thing.
I don't want to be a bluser.

Can you share what you learned?

Recently there was a secret clearing-out of old BrickLink accounts, presumably
related to the site sale to TLG. No information was released, but members noticed
that the number of registered users suddenly dropped dramatically.
The criteria for removing accounts was not shared, but I assume it was based
on the last time a member logged into the site. So perhaps if a member had not
logged in for five years, for example, their account was deleted (or, if not
deleted, somehow removed from the list of registered users).
Around the same time I noticed these Bluser accounts as contributors. I didn't
connect the two events until today when I looked at the contributions page for
inventories and figured out what was going on. The site needed to maintain credit
for catalog work completed, but with accounts deleted/disabled there was no username
to credit.
Note that this page, last updated in 2010, claims that accounts cannot be deleted
if certain conditions have been met. Some of those conditions are contributing
to the catalog:
https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=129
So certain accounts were renamed, although it doesn't look like they were
deleted. Not sure why they needed to be renamed, since this was all done (as
usual) in secret.
Here's what the Bluser accounts mean:
BLUSER_40105 = BrickLink USER ID 40105
All of the above is pure speculation, but it is based on reasonably solid logic.
Hope it helps.

Many accounts were recently deactivated if they had not logged in for a considerable
length of time (several years). In order to preserve the integrity of the catalog
and database in general, the accounts were not deleted, but were fully anonymized
instead.
If people choose to reactivate their account, their old username will reappear
on their account just as they were originally. All they need to do is follow
the instructions on the email they were sent. We may change the BLUSER_######
format in the near future to be less conspicuous on catalog credit pages. Probably
something lowercase, not so predictable, and shorter.
Many historic accounts, such as major contributors or Dan's own personal
account were intentionally untouched by the process.
