Hi, Am I the only one or you, sellers, are also getting a lot of NPBs lately ? Most of them just never answer and read the reminder emails that I send so I initiate the NPB as soon as it is available after 5 days of no payment and no answer. I've had a few lately that decide to answer only after NPB is initiated saying shipping cost is too high. What does it take to take 1 minute to answer an email saying shipping is too high, I wish to cancel ? No they prefer to either never respond and go through the full NPB process or answer at the last minute before the end of the process which prevents me from finishing the NPB process. And I cannot leave negative or neutral feedback to warn other sellers in the latter case because they will certainly retaliate. It seems there are more and more buyers acting this way (a tendency not only seen in Bricklink but in everyday life with more and more people not showing at appointments, etc.). I wish Bricklink had a way of guaranteeing the seller would not get a retaliatory feedback if he leaves negative feedback to warn other sellers when the NPB process could not be completed. Any advice on your side ? Thanks for reading.
