How about limiting all new stores to sell only parts for 30 days. They can list
sets at 31 days of having a store open.

So scammers will only have to wait a month doing nothing?
I know they are greedy and impatient but that’s too easily circumvented.

You can add more to it. Like have inventory of more then 50 lots. The scammer
will not wait 30 days. The whole reason they do it, because its so easy. List
sets thats highly in depend for cheap and then close. Next day start a new store
and do it again. This is probably the easiest to program and get going.

  I believe that if Bricklink will allow new sellers to set up a shop ONLY AFTER
THEY HAVE COMPLETED 10 successful transactions as buyers- the scams by 0 feedback
sellers (that pop everyday) will stop by a high margin.

The beauty of this is that they can't start multiple new seller accounts
to prop up their buying feedbacks too.

I think this will work...
