I'm leaning towards a rule that sellers should have the right to refuse

If noone objects then I'll incorporate it into the TOS.

I'm not sure that what you propose is such a good idea.  It's plain from
reading the buyer's post that he wanted the parts, and was willing to
purchase.  Intent to buy to me indicates that the buyer was committed to
buying from the seller, even though they knew what condition the second lot
of parts could have come in.

As far as cancelling a transaction, sure, the seller can reserve the right
to do so, but only with the understanding that they take responsibility for
any situations which arise out of cancelling a transaction, and that
Brickbay is not held responsible for such actions.  Basically, think along
the lines of those software warranties, and the kind of disclaimer that
comes with things that don't normally have much of a warranty or guarantee.

And since neither party actually posted negative feedback about each
other,  I would not have assumed that it would have made the seller think
that the buyer was not satisfied with his LEGO that he received.

That's what most people would think but some people seem to think in a
different way than others.

Strangely enough, one could almost ask why it was typed as it was.  Maybe
the seller was taking offense at the implication that his LEGO was
smoke-contaminated, even though the buyer also praised him for it?  It may
well be due to such feedback, whether positive or negative, that a
transaction or future transaction might get canceled.

Cheers ...

I have to admit to some curiousity as to how to handle this type of situation (buyer finds something objectionable about the item, but it is not such an objection as to warrant negative feedback and in fact, the buyer may be perfectly willing to (...)
