One issue was they shipped bootleg minifig parts and we even submitted clear
pictures of what was shipped. The second order with a different buyer, they
shipped minifigs with the wrong colored parts. I've lost a total of $65
over these two orders - both of which were gifts for my son. There's no
buyer support and no protection from scammers. This last guy had 12 complaints
in the last year for the same issues and Bricklink is doing NOTHING about it.
The guy is a jerk and I'm out the money. Anyone else having this trouble?

Scary mindset. It's one thing that you champion such for you and yours, but
to advocate it more broadly is worrisome to those that are not of that somewhat
troublesome mindset. Evidenced by the (satirical) Starship Troopers movie
you invoke, meaning of which has apparently failed to permeate It's meant
to show the absurdity of that statement, iow.

I'm a fan of Heinlein, have MANY of his books, and I know how to read his
words at 2nd or 3rd level.
Otherwise, at 1st level it's pretty stupid, but that's what's genious
in how he writes.
And the Starship Troopers is a GOOD movie to represent this book.
At the 1st level, it's action and dumb - but then it's a far deeper movie
Apart this, OP member have difficulties, and the shop seems toxic.
NSS, Claim, Report - and he already gave the shop a Negative, which is pretty
brave.
Bravo!

My apologies if I misunderstood your use of the Starship Trooper meme. It remains
an uncomfortable way of thinking for me and unfortunately very real path for
humanity.

I'm also sorry - ST isn't an apology of War, even if it may look like
it.
But I shouldn't have used this picture.

100000% agree.

Off-topic, but anyone who enjoys Heinlein should also read The Mote in God's
Eye by Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle, about which Heinlein said, "Possibly
the finest science fiction novel I have ever read."

How extensive is your stoplist? Who makes it onto that list and specifically
why? How do you calculate the need to place another profile onto it?
Not being facetious, just truly curious about this behavior

457, why? Is that bad?
Kidding - only 11 including the store in question. I think maybe 6 of them were
from threads like this where a user was seeking advice on how to handle another
difficult user. I'll go dig around to see if I can help and in the process
if I end up seeing a plethora of negatives (like 10+ in a year) I'll stop
list them even though they're probably not an active buyer. My logic is
that while they might not buy from me, they may see their "members who have
stop listed me" numbers climb and realize they need to make some changes.
I check back every now and then and occasionally remove people who have made
improvements.
The others were added because I might have stumbled on them while reading other
people's feedbacks and their replies. Two of them are on there because they
don't know how to use the feedback system properly and I'm just trying
to protect my numbers. They gave over 20 feedbacks but may be 3 were positive
and the rest were neutral and negative.
The funny thing is, I was stop listed and put on ignore lists left and right
while asking basic questions back when I was setting up my store. Everybody
has their reasons I guess. I went from being on 5 to now just 2 so I assume
they were just curmudgeons.
