Buying Privileges - Revoked
I’m trying to find out how you get buyer privileges reinstated. I have sent numerous
messages to brick link already asking how and I’m still waiting on a response.
Years ago there was a payment issue with a seller and myself the buyer in where
the payment method was Revoked from the seller causing them to think I was trying
to rip them off. Upon learning this, the seller and I were working together amicably
until the seller felt I was not moving fast enough in returning the item. The
item was returned in perfect condition and exactly how I received it but because
of the seller being a little too sensitive to words lodge a complaint against
me, causing my buyer privileges to be revoked. I was a damn good buyer having
many positive reviews to go with dozens upon dozens of orders having spent thousands
of dollars on parts. That being said, it’s a little sad to think I’ll never be
able to use brick link again because of one issue. Any feedback would be much
appreciated.

BL takes a long time to respond. If your privileges were revoked years ago, they
may not do anything for you now and you might be better off starting over with
a new account.

Seems weird to remove buying priviledges for only one problem… and without any
negative feedback.
