About two weeks ago, I made 23 purchases (carts) over two days.
One of those sellers is MIA, and has not changed the cart status from "paid",
nor is replying to any messages.

So today, I decide to create another wishlist and add those items again.
This split down into two carts.
Since Easter is Sunday, I messaged the sellers directly, pre-purchase, to inquire
about expedited shipping methods, and if they were able to physically fulfill
the order on such short notice.
While corresponding with two separate sellers; I tried to reply, and was told
"Oops, you have exceeded your message limit.".

This created a "frantic" situation for me; as I was already against the
clock. I had to figure out how to message them off-site, and finish my pre-purchase
conversations.

I understand bots and reasons for security measures.
But it feels this ones a little too tight, as I had already made 23 purchases
before this happened.
