Title: How do you know if you've been blocked by a vendor?
Post by: NoAddedSugar on May 07, 2013, 05:04 pm
I have an order with someone, they've not read my messages, and the order is now past 7 days, so I could cancel, should I want to. But would I know if I'd been blocked for some reason, albeit accidentally? (As I have good stats, never left anything but great feedback due to having no problems, and good service up to now, I don't think I would be blocked intentionally).

I dont think a vendor can block you, at least not in the way you are referring.  Maybe they have been having trouble getting onto the site of if they are a large vendor, maybe they are just back logged with orders. Up to you if you want to cancel, but 7 days is a long wait.

A vendor cannot block you but any vendor is free to choose whom they do business with. Vendors were given 7 days to process orders due to the recent DDoS attack but this has now been brought back down to 4. I agree with Toska though, 7 days is a relatively long time to be waiting for an order to process.

It seems even longer with no word from TopNotch, and nothing on his page. It's so frustrating not knowing. I don't feel I should cancel though. I don't want to seem fickle and jeopardize any further dealings with him.
