Anyone who knows how BL treats shops with a lot limit when it comes to buying
from a wanted list?
I get the impression that shops that have a lot limit are not selected or included
in the the algorithm "Buy All".

BL Admin answer preferred.

No one who can shine a light on this?

I didn't answer because you said you preferred an admin answer. I'm not
sure what you mean by "lot limit" above. Do you mean *any* lot limit,
like 600 or 1000? I can confirm from my own buying that shops with a lot limit
that is high are not excluded from "Buy All". I just tested with one
of my wanted lists and not only were stores with lot limits not excluded from
"Buy All", they were not excluded from "Auto-select" either.

In my shop I had a lot limit of 75 (I now changed it to zero). Maybe there's
a threshold?
Because all of this is guessing from my side I asked for insights from BL.

The algorithm that performs a search when you click 'Buy All' has to
do a lot of things. I can understand that not all shops are included for a variety
of reasons. Lot limit being one of this.
