Hey,
I got scammed in this shop: https://www.bricklink.com/feedback.asp?u=EMPIREBRICK.FIN
. Store doesnt respond to messages anymore, but as I see he nearly instantly
replied to bad reviews, because also few more people got scammed. I placed NSS
on order and I am currently waiting what will happen, I paid with paypal, should
I make complaint on paypyal too or just wait for bricklink to help or something?

Any help would be appreciated.

Kindest regards,
Łukasz!

Also looks like they might have been swamped with orders?

Thankfully you paid with PayPal. You have 180 days from the date of purchase
to start a claim so I don't think there's any urgency. Just don't
let the seller string you along and don't cancel the NSS - complete it once
you can.
