I assume they were blocked from using the API. They still have buying and selling
privileges.

Oh OK, but then, did they read the API Terms?
I'd say no.

Didn't get blocked from using the API. was just using excel to pull some
of the store ranking list. My guess is I pulled to much in the amount of time
allowed so to BL it looked like a cyber attack. They blocked my IP from going
on the site. Only way I can use the site right now is by using a VPN.

No, it's a question of excessive number of queries, server load, etc.
See BL Terms?

I guess if it's minor, your IP will be unbanned tomorrow after BrickLink
midnight 00:00 EDT, in 5+ hours.

He was blocked a month ago, why do you think tomorrow will be the magic day he
can get back on the site?

Didn't know, but this is why I wrote exactly "if it's minor".

If it's a month ban, then it's not minor, or they have so few time that
they don't consider it's a priority to unban him
