I have now received two messages asking if I sell bulk minifigs. The sender's
store seems to be suspended. Is there any way to block this one sender without
blocking all contacts? I welcome folks asking questions about my store and inventory.

Thanks

Frank

Report here https://www.bricklink.com/problemMember.asp

Add the seller to your least favorite list.
Maybe it blocks the messages.

Twice for me too, After first time I added them to my stoplist but still received
a second spam message today. I thought the stoplist prevented messages along
with buying privileges.

It may stop some messages(?) but it doesn’t stop contact through your shop.

I also received one, I will take it as a compliment, that my little store would
be worth such a message

They're just spamming... Clearly not looking at the inventory at all to consider
if the seller might remotely have large quantities, or the types of minifigs
offered up as to whether they would have bulk to sell cheap.

OK, I do have a bulk bin but it's targeted at a build a minifig event, either
for a kids party or at a show.

I know who this is. They pinged me several days back. Checking statuses, their
selling status is red, but buying is still green. If they are buying here, to
sell elsewhere, it's not going to slow them down much.

I have been hit twice. I replied back asking for clarification. "Are you looking
to buy some of the items in my store, are are you looking to buy stock I have
not posted?" My hope was that they would reply and I could report them with
solid evidence that they were trying to avoid the BL system.

Those that don't follow simple rules drive me bonkers.

Here was my reply:

Yes, we have over 1700 minifigs in more than 300 lots. Feel free to order as
many as you like at the listed prices.
