Here is a solution that doesn't put any strain on Bricklink.
1. Bricklink adds a field for sellers who will amalgamate/consolidate
their items with parts from other sellers, before shipping an order
to a customer. Perhaps the sellers would even be allowed to charge
a $1/1Euro handling fee for this service.
Now a customer A buys from seller X (a consolidator) and informs X
that more orders will be shipped to X from other sellers.
A buys from sellers Y and Z and has them ship to X
(maybe Bricklink could help facilitate this by providing addresses)
After X has received all the orders (A would have to tell X how many orders)
X has to verify the orders from Y and Z (this is why X gets a handling fee)
then X can ship to A.
This puts minimal strain on Bricklink,
and a little extra on sellers, and a little extra on buyers.
