otherwise (such as contacting them via BL messaging) there is no responsibility

A seller does not have to respond. If they do, the quote is good for 3 days.

to get snookered into paying 30%+ for shipping. In addition, most sellers don't
have a Quote option. This seems quite anti-consumer.

This is because most quotes don't result in a sale, which is a waste of the
seller's time.

66% of quotes I provide are accepted. I like this system and I don't think
it is a waste of time. I think that is because the buyer actually fills out a
cart.
Of the remaining 33% that are not accepted, a good number are cancelled because
parts were purchased by someone else.

Yes and this is exactly the reason I mention in this thread why I believe stock
should be held for 24 hours during the quote period. Giving buyers confidence
in being able to secure parts without being subjected to store terms that are
easily overlooked encourages confidence in buyers to be less hesitant over placing
orders/quotes and more likely to spend more money!
Quite often if a buyer wants certain items badly enough they will just quickly
place their order before they get snapped up by someone else there is often no
further opportunity to continue browsing a store to include other items since
the order is then already placed!
