Well, I am going to be the very unpopular guy here - Stores have a month to pay their fees. After that, BL can suspend the stores in case of non-payment. What happens now is that store owners come on the forum and complain about BL not opening up their store quickly enough after it was closed. And above is a perfect example ("bitching worked". Well, I say, leave the non-paying stores sit for a while and let them know they will be reinstated in a week or so. If they can't be bothered to pay their fees on time, the store operation is apparently not important enough. Opening up a store right after a complaint is taking away from the deterrent of "your store is going to be closed if you don't pay". Niek.
